    We also have the Sakam Gayatri,.

     

    While the regular Gayatri is meant for Self realization as the primary goal, our Rishis were aware, that though the regular Gayatri Mantra shall deliver

     

     

    other benefits  as a side spin-off, ordinary Mortals require  specific desires to be fulfilled and they need a special Mantra for a specific  desire in Mind.

     

    These Gaytris are to be addressed to 24 Deities.

     

    These Gayatris also contain the twenty-four Aksharas when intoned correctly as in regular Gayatri.

  • 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.
    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.”

  • What Is Yoga Iswara Gita By Vyasa

    I have posted some articles on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, explaining the sutras ( I shall continue, though I have not been posting on this for some time,thank you Krishnan for reminding me).

    Lord Vishnu as Koorma, Tortoise.
    Koorma Avatar

    I found another system of Yoga propounded by Veda Vyasa.

    He explained the essentials of Yoga to the Rishis, including Soodha, who was narrating the Puranas to the Rishis.

    This Yoga is called the Iswara Gita.

    It, like the Yoga of Patanjali, contains the Eight Steps,Ashtanga.

    Yoga is defined as the ‘Establishment of communication between the Paramatman annd Jivatman, Individual Soul and the Universal Soul.

    Theses Eight steps are.

    1 .Pranayama,Breath Control.

    2.Prathyahaara.

    3.Asana.

    4.Truth, Ahimsa and Sathya.

    5.Studying The  Vedas,Worship of Gods, Prayer and Meditation, this is called ‘Ruyama’

    6.Choosing A Deity and Pray to Him or Her.This is different from the Meditation mentioned above in that here a Particular Deity is invoked while in the other it is the Universal Principle that is invoked.

    7 . Dharana, the process of  fixing and retaining the Iswara, Personal God in the Mind.

    8.Samadhi, the stage when  one realizes the Individual Self merges with the Universal Self.

    In essence the same is conveyed by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutra in detail.
