बिजली के आविष्कारक - महर्षि अगस्त्य

राव साहब कृष्णाजी वझे ने १८९१ में विज्ञान संबंधी ग्रंथों की खोज के दौरान उन्हें उज्जैन में दामोदर त्र्यम्बक जोशी के पास अगस्त्य संहिता के कुछ पन्ने मिले।

इस संहिता के पन्नों में उल्लिखित वर्णन को पढ़कर नागपुर में संस्कृत के विभागाध्यक्ष

रहे डा. एम.सी. सहस्रबुद्धे को आभास हुआ कि यह वर्णन डेनियल सेल से मिलता-जुलता है। अत: उन्होंने नागपुर में इंजीनियरिंग के प्राध्यापक श्री पी.पी. होले को वह दिया और उसे जांचने को कहा। श्री अगस्त्य ने अगस्त्य संहिता में विधुत उत्पादन से सम्बंधित सूत्रों में लिखा:

संस्थाप्य मृण्मये पात्रे ताम्रपत्रं सुसंस्कृतम्‌।
छादयेच्छिखिग्रीवेन चार्दाभि: काष्ठापांसुभि:॥
दस्तालोष्टो निधात्वय: पारदाच्छादितस्तत:।
संयोगाज्जायते तेजो मित्रावरुणसंज्ञितम्‌॥

अगस्त्य संहिता :

अर्थात: एक मिट्टी का पात्र (Earthen pot) लें, उसमें ताम्र पट्टिका (copper sheet)

डालें तथा शिखिग्रीवा डालें, फिर बीच में गीली काष्ट पांसु (wet saw dust) लगायें, ऊपर पारा (mercury‌) तथा दस्त लोष्ट (Zinc) डालें, फिर तारों को मिलाएंगे तो, उससे मित्रावरुणशक्ति का उदय होगा।

पर अब यहाँ थोड़ी सी हास्यास्पद स्थति उत्पन्न हुई।

उपर्युक्त वर्णन के आधार पर श्री होले

तथा उनके मित्र ने तैयारी चालू की तो
उपर्युक्त वर्णन के आधार पर श्री होले तथा उनके मित्र ने तैयारी चालू की तो शेष सामग्री तो ध्यान में आ गई,

परन्तु शिखिग्रीवा समझ में नहीं आया। संस्कृत कोष में देखने पर ध्यान में आया कि शिखिग्रीवा याने मोर की गर्दन।

Shocking Connection Between The Vatican city (Italy) & Shiva Linga

The Vatican city is shaped in the form of a Shiva linga!
This shocking claim was made by historian P.N. Oak who said that the word Vatican has actually come from the Sanskrit word 'Vatika'

and that Christianity has come from 'Krishna Neeti'.

We have often heard that all the religions have emerged from one Sanatana Dharma. It does not matter which faith you follow because ultimately you are praying to the same God

The connection between the Vatican city and Shiva linga is quite interesting.

The striking similarities between the two symbols of the world's greatest religions is sure to make your mind blow away. Let us take a look at the shocking connection between them.

The Striking Similarity:

Take a look at the picture above. You will see the similarity between the shape of the linga and the compound of the Vatican city. The pathway is shaped like a phallus. On looking closer you will find a tripundara (three lines on Bhagwan Shiv's forehead)

and a bindu incorporated into the design of the Piazza San Pietro of the Vatican city.

Vatican- What's In A Name:

The word Vatican has been derived from the Sanskrit word 'Vatika' which means Vedic cultural centres. Such words and a few excavations prove that Vatican was

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay

Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत

Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।

Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed

The Energy Channels or Nadis
(Ida,Pingala & Sushumna)

The word ‘Nadi’ comes from the root ‘Nad’ in Sanskrit means ‘hollow stalk’.It refers to the network of channels through which the energies such as prana of the physical body,the subtle body & the causal body are said to flow.

Kundalini travels throughout our body by way of these three energy channels, or nadis. All three work perfectly together to integrate and balance the flow of our Kundalini.

Each also plays a specific role in maintaining our emotions, moods and physical health.

The three principal nadis that run from the base of the spine to the head are the ‘Ida’ on the Left, the ‘Sushumna’ on the Centre, and the ‘Pingala’ on the Right. Ultimately the goal is to unblock these nadis to bring liberation.

(1) Ida Nadi – Called the left channel, Ida is a Sanskrit word which means “comfort”. it starts in the Muladhara (root) chakra, flowing to the left and weaving in and out of the chakras before ending in the left nostril. This Nadi represents mental energy.

Ida Nadi is feminine energy with a cooling effect. It is introverted and is associated with the right side of the brain and the left side of the body. It is also called “Chandra” or “moon” Nadi since it is associated with lunar energy.Ida Nadi controls all of the mental processes

A Thanksgiving story to warm your pluralistic hearts:

It was the early 1990s, the days before Washington DC had meters in taxis. A famine was raging in Somalia. And I was working in my first job out of college: a brief stint working for an organization that focused on the Middle East peace process.

I was heading to my parents’ house. I was standing in front of a mailbox near my office. I was holding a stack of papers with Hebrew writing on them. I hailed a cab.

I was aware that on the mailbox behind me was a large sign from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals with an image of a turkey and the words: “Thanksgiving is Murder on Turkeys.”

It was the period right around Thanksgiving.

A cab pulled up, and I got in the front seat—because in the days before metered cabs in DC, drivers were allowed to pick up more than one fare, and someone else was already occupying the back seat.

So I have a funny story about Governor General Jules Leger. I was working in the gardens on the grounds as a summer student in 1972 (might have been 1973, I can't quite remember, but it was the first year that women were hired as labourers by the NCC).1/

One of the things that we had to do was rake The pebble gravel on the paths and that was my task this particular day. I was out raking when I saw a Columbo type man dressed in a fedora and a crumpled raincoat approach me.2/

At that time the grounds were open to the public so it wasn't particularly surprising to have someone wander up and we chatted. I realized that he had recently had a stroke and that his English, while fluent, was a little slow. 3/

Anyway, we had a very nice chat and the next time I saw him in the garden, I showed him some baby rabbits that had a nest in the front rotundra. He thought they were pretty adorable.4/

I was able to pick one up for him to hold, but it was difficult for him because one of his hands was quite paralyzed. Anyway, he thought this was very lovely and our regular chats continued.4/

On this day in 1878, Pamela Colman Smith was born. Although you may not have heard this artist's name, you will have almost definitely seen her work: among many other achievements, Smith illustrated the famous Waite-Smith tarot deck.

Smith's most famous illustrations in the tarot deck appear everywhere, and are synonymous with tarot. But there was much more to this artist, illustrator, writer and occultist than her tarot deck.

Early in her career, Smith illustrated works of WB Yeats, and travelled with the Lyceum theatre group. She also wrote and illustrated her own books, including books about Jamaican folklore.

While juggling all this, Smith also found the time to hold open houses for artists, and be active in the Suffrage Atelier, a collective of illustrators contributing work to further the cause of women's suffrage - this is an illustration she made for the cause.

In 1907, Smith became the first painter to exhibit at Alfred Stieglitz's Gallery 291, becoming the first painter to show at a gallery which had previously been devoted to photography. Her show was successful, and she showed twice more.

Mines had always had a large female element in their workforce; women were generally employed to carry coal to the surface. It was only in 1842 – with the Mines Regulation Act – that women and young children were banned from working below ground.

The following passage is an extract of a book that was published by Robert Bald, a mining engineer at Alloa, in 1812.

Robert Bald, A General View of the Coal Trade of Scotland, Chiefly that of the River Forth & Lothian, to which is Added an Inquiry into the Condition of the Women who Carry Coals under Ground in Scotland, Known by the Name of Bearers, Edinburgh: Oliphant, Waugh and Innes, 1812

In those collieries where this mode is in practice, the collier leaves his house for the pits about eleven o’clock at night, (attended by his sons, if he has any sufficiently old), when the rest of mankind are retiring to rest. Their first work is to prepare coals, by hewing

them down from the wall. In about three hours after, his wife (attended by her daughters, if she has any sufficiently grown) sets out for the pit, having previously wrapped her infant child in a blanket, and left it to the care of an old woman, who, for a small gratuity,
