  • Temple Prasad In Bulk,Selling Wrong

     

    Prasad on Sanskrit means,

     

    “ prasada (Prasad) 1. an illumined ease and clarity.2. [food offered to a deity or to a spiritual teacher; this same food distributed to devotees as a blessing].”

     

    Hinduism believes that  Food is a Gift from God.

     

    In this connection, there is an interesting point in Blessing others in Hinduism.

     

    Food offering to God
    Prasadm,Offering to God

     

    ‘Yogyadha Siddirasthu- May You deserve this.

     

    “Bhogyadha Siddirasthu- May you be endowed with the conditions to enjoy what you have.

     

    You may have very thing going good for you, in terms of Wealth, Home, Children.

     

    Yet you may be a Sugar Patient, Diabetic, you can not eat  what you like, enjoy them.

     

    We may have money , we may not get food, hotels/shops may be closed, food may not be available.

     

    Hence we should thank God for having bestowed us with Food and the opportunity to enjoy it.

     

     

    So God is propitiated by offering food firs to God and partake it with the others later.

     

    This process is called Naivedyam(Please read my post on this).

     

    What has been offered and  distributed is called Prasadam.

     

    One meaning of the word is Illumining.

     

    The Food that is offered to God and then distributed is healthy and illumines the Spirit.

     

    Food that is not offered to God first is equivalence to eating stolen food.

     

    Prasads are offered in Temples.

     

    They are then distributed among the devotees.

     

    One of the rules of Naivedyam is that the entire food prepared must  be placed before God,

     

     

    Now Food is prepared in bulk, a token is shown before the Deity and distributed.

     

    Temples, including Tirupati,Palani and elsewhere are following this practice.

     

    Worse still is that a Tender is floated for Prasad ,and the winner gets the Right to prepare and sell them in shops in the Temple premises.

     

    Online booking of Prasad is also available.

     

    This is incorrect and has to dissuaded by the people and the Temple administration must not dilute basic principles.

  • Religion Marriage More Kids For Better Heatlh

    No, I am not quoting from some Religious text.

    These are the findings of Researchers on these subjects ,published in Science Daily.

    Marriage issues
    Marriage, a Look

    Refusal to accept the fact there is a Higher principle above us,marriages are mere social contracts,preferable not to have children, Single parent under the mistaken impression that it helps the quality of Life, are some of the Modern Thoughts among others.

    Under he guise of Modern Science we have started following western ideas for it sounded novel, forgetting that all these ideas have been tried before and the present views of Hinduism is based on  years of observation.

    What I have been saying in posts on these subjects are now confirmed by Science.

    And remember that children growing among siblings are better balanced, emotionally mature and stable in later years.

    Healthy and happy Life is preferable than being called ‘Progressive’

     

    On Religion:

    “Religion helps regulate behavior and health habits, while spirituality regulates your emotions, how you feel,” said Carolyn Aldwin, a gerontology professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at OSU.

    Aldwin and colleagues have been working to understand and distinguish the beneficial connections between health, religion and spirituality. The result is a new theoretical model that defines two distinct pathways.

    Religiousness, including formal religious affiliation and service attendance, is associated with better health habits, such as lower smoking rates and reduced alcohol consumption. Spirituality, including meditation and private prayer, helps regulate emotions, which aids physiological effects such as blood pressure.

    The findings were published recently in the journal Psychology of Religion and Spirituality. Co-authors were Crystal L. Park of the University of Connecticut, and Yu-Jin Jeong and Ritwik Nath of OSU. The research was supported by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation“.

    Summary:
    People who are married have lower rates of several cardiovascular diseases compared with those who are single, divorced or widowed, according to research. The relationship between marriage and lower odds of vascular diseases is especially pronounced before age 50. For people aged 50 and younger, marriage is associated with 12 percent lower odds of any vascular disease. This number drops to 7 percent for people ages 51 to 60 and only 4 percent for those 61 and older.”
    On Begetting Children:
    Women who give birth to four or more children are much more likely to have evidence of plaque in their heart or thickening of their arteries — early signs of cardiovascular disease — compared with those having fewer pregnancies, according to research to be presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 63rd Annual Scientific Session”

  • Vedic Hinduism In Germany Greece, Russian Veda

    I have posted articles that Hnduism, Sanatana Dharma was all over the World and the entire Jambu Dweepa was practicing Hinduism.
    I had provided Maps of Ancient India,Kingdoms as well
    I am furnishing details from research articles on this subject.
    Sananat Dharma spread around he world
    Vedic India
    Russia
    In his book ‘Proof of Vedic Culture’s Global Existence’ Stephen Knapp confirms that the Vedic culture was once global.
    Professor Alexander Vasilyavich Medvedev, chairman of the religious affairs committee of the Urals region.
    Professor Medvedev:
    “The problem amongst our leaders may not be so much in having to accept your movement, but to accept that the Vedic culture could have very well been the original culture here in Russia.You know in Russia practically all the scientists accept that the Vedic culture once flourished here, the center being in the Volga river region.

    The debate among our scientists is only if the Aryans came from India or they originated here.

    There is much evidence to the fact that Vedic culture existed here, most notably the Russian Veda”

    “The Russian Veda” Interrupted Indradyumna Marharaj.

    “Yes, it is famous amongst our people, it is as old as Russia, and the stories are exactly like those in the Vedic scriptures.

    The central figure of the Russian Veda is a personality called Krishen.

    He is the upholder of spiritual truths and the killer of many demons. His killing of a witch and snake are exactly like the history of child Krsna killing the putana and aghasura demons in the bhagavat puranas.

    But the Russian Veda is not intended for children.

    It is full of spiritual truths.”
