  • Sanath Sanathanathtamah Sanatana Dharma Vishnu Sahasranama

    Sanath Sanathanathtamah Sanatana Dharma Vishnu Sahasranama

    What is Sanath, What is Sanathath and Sanatan Dharma?

    Sounds a little strange and confusing? Let us see what Hinduism/ Sanaatana Dharma says about this.

    Sree Vishnu Sahasranama makes a reference to these terms though there are references to these terms in Vishnu Purana and Srimad Bhagavatham.It is referred to in Thirumurukaatruppadai ( By Nakkeearar) belonging to Tamil Sangam literature.

    Vishnu Sahasranama is from Mahabharata by Veda Vyasa. In Mahabharata Bhishma Under instructions from Bhagwan Sri Krishna instructs what Dharma is Yudhisthira . This is in Anusasan parva. Mahabharata is dated 16th October 5561 BC.

    Santath means ‘ one who is the personification of Time which is Eternal.’ Bhagwan Vishnu is described thus. It is an Attribute which is Absolute in Nature.It is beyond Space and Time.

    Shankaracharya says thus

    ‘ Sanaathithibnibhadhaha, Srartha vachanaha, kaalascha parasyai vedhi vikalpana kaapi – Sri Shankara Bhashya on Sri Vishnu Sahasranama.

    Sananaththanadhamaya namaha means

    ‘ As Vishnu is the Primary cause who has no cause to be caused and as He is elder to all Brahma and other Devathas, He is the Oldest.

    So the term Sanatana means an Absolute Attribute which personifies Time Eternal.As such the term means older than the oldest.

    In Tamil Siva is described as described a

    முன்னைப் பரம்பொருட்கு முன்னைப் பரம் பொருளே ‘

    The Earliest Reality preceding Reality.

    Sanatana Dharma means that Righteous Conduct ,a way of life that is ancient amongst the ancient,Leads one to Liberation from the shackles of births and deaths.

    ‘sanātsanātanatamaḥ kapilaḥ kapiravyayaḥ ।
    svastidaḥ svastikṛtsvastiḥ svastibhuk svastidakṣiṇaḥ ॥ 96 ॥
    — Sree Vishnu Sahasra Nama Stotram

    Sanatana Dharma is a Sanskrit term that translates to “eternal dharma” or “eternal order”. It is an alternative name for Hinduism. The term can also be translated as “eternal religion”, “eternal law”, “unshakeable, venerable order”, or “ancient and continuing guideline”.
    In Hinduism, Sanatana Dharma refers to the absolute set of duties or religiously ordained practices that all Hindus must follow, regardless of class, caste, or sect.
    Sanatana Dharma is commonly equated with Hinduism, but there is no reason to believe that only Hinduism should be equated with Sanatana Dharma. The RSS suggests that Sanatana Dharma has existed since the beginning of civilization and is more comprehensive than Hindu Dharma. AI search result.

    Sanatana is a Sanskrit word that means “eternal”, “unchanging” or “everlasting”. It is often used to describe the core principles and values of Hinduism, which are also known as Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana Dharma is the original name of Hinduism, meaning “the eternal way of life” or “the eternal law”. It is based on the teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and other Hindu scriptures, which reveal the nature of the Supreme Reality (Brahman), the individual self (Atman), the cosmic order (Rta) and the path of liberation (Moksha). Sanatana Dharma is not a rigid or dogmatic religion, but a flexible and dynamic way of living in harmony with the universal truth. It encompasses various traditions, sects, philosophies, practices and customs that have evolved over thousands of years. Some of the synonyms for Sanatana Dharma are Satya Dharma (the dharma of eternal truth), Atma Dharma (the dharma of self-realisation), Yoga Dharma (the dharma of union with the divine), Veda Dharma (the dharma of transcendent knowledge), Vishva Dharma (the universal dharma) and Manava Dharma (the dharma for all human beings). Sanatana Dharma is also sometimes contrasted with other forms of Hinduism that are more influenced by social, political or cultural factors, such as Arya Samaj, Brahmo Samaj or Hindu nationalism. These are sometimes called Nava Dharma (new dharma) or Apara Dharma (lower dharma). Sanatana Dharma is not limited to India or Hinduism, but is relevant to all seekers of truth and spirituality, regardless of their background, culture or religion. It is a universal and timeless wisdom that can guide us to our highest potential and ultimate goal.

  • Bhagavad Gita In Egyptian Pyramid  NOW With Private Collector?

    Bhagavad Gita In Egyptian Pyramid NOW With Private Collector?

    I wrote an article on 8 December, 2014, Appropriate Bhagavad Gita Verse in Egyptian Pyramid.

    I received information as comment from a reader as to where the tomb is.

    The comment.

    JessicaEDIT 0 0 Rate This

    Mr. Ramani,
    Its Pyramid 2 in Egypt but the tablet was immediately taken to British Museum and no photographs can be found online)

    # During my visit to UK in April 2019, I visited the Museum to check the information contained in this article.

    I was informed by the curator that the artifact was returned to the private collector.

    The curator informed me that he could not divulge information about the collector.

    In Leeds Musuem, I saw a Third Century BC Vishnu Panchaloka Idol.

    The curator was reluctant to share additional information except the date.

    Screenshot from Navbharat Times 18/04//1967

    In one of the Pyramids, dating back to 3000 BC, a verse, from the second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita was found inscribed.

    Here it is:

    vasanvsi jeernani yatha vihaya, navani
    ghrunnati naro parani

    – Nava Bharat Times, 18-4-1967

    # During my visit to UK in April 2019, I visited the Museum to check the information contained in this article.

    This verse is from The Bhagavd Gita Chapter 2,verse 22.

    The text and translation.

    vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya
    navani grhnati naro ‘parani
    tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany
    anyani samyati navani dehi

    vasamsi–garments; jirnani–old and worn out; yatha–as it is; vihaya–giving up; navani–new garments; grhnati–does accept; narah–a man; aparani–other; tatha–in the same way; sarirani–bodies; vihaya–giving up; jirnani–old and useless; anyani–different; samyati–verily accepts; navani–new sets; dehi–the embodied.

    As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, similarly, the soul accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.

    How appropriate for a Burial Tomb!

  • Kingdoms India Vedic Pre Vedic Janapadas Over 200 ‘ Lands And People’

    Kingdoms India Vedic Pre Vedic Janapadas Over 200 ‘ Lands And People’

    I am trying to trace Kings List of India from various sources,including Indian Puranas,Ramayana,Mahabharata,Raghuvamsa ,Kalhana’s Rajatharngini and foreign sources,Megasthanes,Periplus,Strabo from Greece.

    The information is scanty because Indians considered History,along with subjects which are useful for day to day Life as Lower Knowledge,Apara Vidya and it is not worth pursuing for the Higher Knowledge,Para Vidya,that is the Knowledge of the Self is worth pursuing.

    However information can be found if one looks carefully among various Indian texts and cross check.

    Another reason is the systematic mis/disinformation about India by the Invaders.

    Another issue one find is the Concept of Time.

    According to Hinduism ,Time is Cyclic and not Linear.

    Quantum has just validated this concept.

    So fixing a Time frame is difficult for events relating to distant past.

    However,I am attempting to reconstruct,knowing fully well,my information would need updating at regular intervals ,depending on new evidences being unearthed.

    Normally the,Rig Veda is taken to be the oldest literary work of Mankind and it is dated around 5000 years back.

    I do not agree with this as Ramayana is dated at 5114 and Ramayana and Puranas,which are earlier to Ramayana quote Vedas.

    It is further confounded by the fact that Ramayana is mentioned in the Vedas.

    (This is where the Time as Cyclic comes into play)

    Kingdoms referred to by the Vedas are called Janapada,Mahajanapadas,.

    These words indicate the transition period from Bronze to Iron Age.

    That is between 1500 BC to 5000 BC.

    This itself is incorrect as Ramayana is dated around 5000 years back and Ayodhya Kingdom was an advanced civilization and not one that could have flourished during Iron,Bronze Ages.

    So the dates could be pushed further back.

    However,on the basis of available evidence from the Vedas,the Land was classified into five regions and Janapadas,meaning People and Land.

    • Udichya (Northern region)
    • Prachya (Eastern region)
    • Dakshina (Southern region)
    • Pratichya (Western region)
    • Madhya-desha (Central region)

    The Vedic literature mentions the following janas or janapadas:

    The Puranas mention seven sub-divisions of ancient India

    • Udichya (Northern region)
    • Prachya (Eastern region)
    • Dakshinapatha (Southern region)
    • Aparanta (Western region)
    • Madhya-desha (Central region)
    • Parvata-shrayin (Himalayan region)
    • Vindhya-prashtha (Vindhyan region)

    …..

    According to research by political scientist Sudama Misra, the Puranic texts mention over 150 janapadas:

    https://books.google.co.in/books?id=Dua1AAAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y

    Mahabharata mentions 230 Kingdoms/lands.

  •   Kartaviryarjuna Introduced Sanatana Dharma in The South, Dakshinapada

    When one observes India as a whole,one may find Unity amidst Diversity.

    The Bond that unites People of India is its Culture developed by Sanatana Dharma.

    However one must know that there was a parallel culture in India in the south called as Dakshinapada(Southern Paw,South).

    This term was strictly used denoting the direction where the people lived.

    Another term for South is Dravida.

    Unfortunately, this term has been used to denote a race.

    In the earlier days, these two cultures, Sanatana Dharma and Dakshinapada Culture flourished in India, then called Bharatavarsha.

    Lord Rama’s ancestor Vaivaswatha Manu was a Dravida King and he migrated to Ayodhyadue to a Tsunami.

    Please read my article Rama’s Ancestor. Manu Dravida.

    This fact is recorded n the Bhagavatha Purana.

    Manu left for North with his sons leaving his daughter behind.

    Ila married Chandra and founded the Lunar Dynasty, while Ikshvaku founded the Solar Dynasty,Surya Vamsa to which Lord Ramachandra belongs.

    The progeny of Ila continued ruling the Dakshina pada and developed a culture on their own.

    This was slighlty different from the Sanatana Dharma culture , the main differnce is that Fire worship which is supreme among the Vedic people, was not followed initiallly in Dakshinapada.

    And there were tribes in the Dakshinapada, one of them being Nagas.

    These are the same Nagas whose descendants live in the NorthEast of India.

    And these are the people who migrated to Americas and were the forerunners of Mayan, Inca Civilizations.

    The term Asura means one who is powerful.

    This term is used to refer to those from the Dakshinapada.

    Another term used to denote people from the south was Rakshasa.

    Rakshasas are reported to be powerful.

    As in any groupthere were good and bad People among them.

    In the world of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, Rakshasas were a populous race. There were both good and evil rakshasas, and as warriors they fought alongside the armies of both good and evil. They were powerful warriors, expert magicians and illusionists. As shape-changers, they could assume different physical forms. It was not always clear whether they had a true or natural form.As illusionists, they were capable of creating appearances which were real to those who believed in them or who failed to dispel them. Some of the rakshasas were said to be man-eaters, and made their gleeful appearance when the slaughter on a battlefield was at its worst. Occasionally they served as rank-and-file soldiers in the service of one or another warlord.

    Aside from its treatment of unnamed rank-and-file Rakshasas, the epics tell the stories of certain members of the “race” who rose to prominence, some of them as heroes, most of them as villains.’ (Wiki on Rakshasa)

    Because there belonged to a different culture, it was natural for some from Sanatana Dharma to portray them as evil.

    However Sages like Valmiki,Vyasa, Agastya do not denigrate them unless they are found to be acting Dharma.

    These Asuras,Rakshasas, were ruling a portion of Dakshinapada.

    The King of Rakshasas was called Iraivan.

    The term Ravana is sanskritised form of Iraivan.

    Iraivan in Tamil denotes God.

    As King is the protector of People, he was also called Iraivan.

    One must, at this point of time, remember the Geography of India was different then.

    It extended from the the Antarctic to Artic, with Oceans in between and Bharatavarsha was ruling thearth.

    For more on this subject, please read my articles on Bharatavarsha,Lemuria,Kumarikandam.

    Some portions of the south,Dakshinapda was ruled by Chera, Chola and Pandya Kings and hence they trace their ancestry to Surya Vamsa or Lunar Dynasty.

    However , as said earlier they did not follow follow Sanatana Dharma, Vedic way of life in its entirety.

    Hence they were called Dasyus, a derogatory term for Non followers of Vedic way of Life.

    And the Dakshinapada had Shiva worship , which iwas not as prevalent in Sanatana Dharma.

    Dakshinapada had Shiva worship and Tamil literature abounds in Shiva Worship.

    Parallel Philosophical system was developed and it was Shaiva Siddhanta and Devi worship.

    Yet the people of Dakshinapada worshipped Murugan(Subrahmanya),Vishnu(Mayon),Varuna,Indra and Devi corresponding the unique geographical divisions ,Kurinji,Mullai,Marutham, Neydhal and Paalai.

    Later, the Sanatana Dharma practices entered in its full scope, amalgamating Vedic practices and the Dakshinapda Culture.

    So essentially the Dakshinapada culture is a Unique belend of the best in Sanatana Dharma and Dakshinapada)Tamil Culture.

    Who broght this change?

    The earliest person to bring Sanatana Dharma was Karthaviryajuna, who ruled from Mahismathi as his Capital(Bahubali Fame Mahismathi)

    Karthaviryajuna was the ancestor of Lord Rama.

    He preceded Ramachandra by thirty generations as was a contemporary of Trayayaruna,grandfather of Harischandra.

    Karthaviryajuna captured Mahismati from Karkota Naga a Dravidian King belonging to Dakshinapada.

    Then he proceeded further down south and conquered Some Dakshina pada lands and In the process killed Jamadagni, father Of Bhargava Rama,popularly known as Parashurama.

    While Sanatana Dharma made initial inroads through Karthaviryajuna, it was carried forward by Parashurama and Sage Agastya.

    I shall write on this and also on the essential differnces in Religious practices between the Vedic People and pwople of the South, Dakshinapada.

  • Seven Pehistoric Root Races,Lemuria,Atlantis Sanatana Dharma Details

    Seven Pehistoric Root Races,Lemuria,Atlantis Sanatana Dharma Details

    History is like a coy maiden,tantalizing,mysterious,revealing teasers but never the whole.

    I have been writing Ramani’s blog for the past eight years to share what interests me and what little I know.

    In the process, I have come across information about the History of World,Races,Languages and Religions.

    The facts unearthed on the above subjects from sources around the world are interesting,mind boggling,mysterious ,yet probable and possible and above all disturbing though not confusing,at least to me.

    Consider the following.

    Civilizations around the world seem to have flourished ,reached their pinnacle and suddenly ceased to Be.

    Lemurians,Mayans,Aztecs,Incas,Sanatana Dharma,Atlantis,Hyperborean.

    The landmass where they existed, as verified by Geology, was different in their days.

    Traces of these civilizations are found even today.

    These civilizations were wuite advanced including what we call Advanced Scientific Concepts.

    Next is Human migration.

    Humans seem to have lived everywhere,yer their ancestry seem to be traced either to India and Africa.

    Africans trace their roots to India,Madurai,Tamil Nadu.

    Lemuria,the Home of Tamils dates back to 230 million years.

    Thiruvannamalai,Tamil Nadu,India is 3.94 billion years old.

    Tirupati,Telengana,India,is 2100 million Years old.

    Jwalapuram ,Cuddapah,is 74,000 years old.

    One finds the twin of Arunachala mountain,Thiruvannamalai in The US in Mount Sastha.

    The Rog Veda was composed in the Arctic.

    Rig Vedic Mandala city,the Seven holy rivers of Hinduism,Krishna’s son Pradhyumna’s city in Port Baijn,Russia,worship of Ayur Devathas in Sibera,Natural Vishnu Temple in Colorado,US,Shiva’s quadrilateral temple in Grand Canyon,Shiva’ Trinetra Dance in Australia,Shiva Temple in Petra Jordan,Shivalinga in Kaaba,Rama in Atlantis,Rama,Bharatha and Dasaratha in Somerian Kings List,….

    A million year old site in Chennai,India quotes Vedas and Vedas quote Tamil and Tamil Kings,

    Rama waged a war againt Atlantis,

    Sumerian,Minoan,Assyrian,Mayans,Aztecs,Incas trace their origins to Tamils.

    Bhagavad Gita verse is found in a Pyramid in Egypt.

    Shiva’s city,Hanuman and Gadithgaja’s temple found in Central America.

    Cameroonians speak Tamil,

    Shiva’s Trishul is found in Peru’s Nazca Lines.

    Sanskrit and Tamil seem to have influenced world languages.

    All Indian languages of India seem to be,at least,5000years old.

    Kannada Brahmi is a Million years old.

    Tamil Brahmi is fiund in Indus Valley.

    Tamil kings trace their ancestry to Solar Dynasty of Lord Rama.

    Solar worship was practiced throughout the world.

    European migration seems to have occurred from Asia and the period corresponds to the The Three Tsunamis recorded in Tamil Literature.

    Yet the evidence of all these,though individually verifiable,fail to provide a continuum.

    I have,with great difficulty,published a complete list of Solar Dynasty,Tamil Kings Dynasty from Prehistoric times.

    Trying another track,I find what we call inventions today are merely discoveries and they seem to surface at some,it seems to me,specific period of Time.

    Wheel is supposed to have been invented in the west.

    Yet we find references to it Hindu Puranas,and Tamil Sangam Literature dated around 3000 BC.

    Tamil Sangam period is at least 30,000 years old as revealed by the excavation of Poompuhar,Tamil Nadu.

    References to the people of Atlantis are found in Hindu texts,as fair skinned.

    The landmass ,as described in the Puranas,is verified by Geology.

    This has impelled me to look for sources for the races .

    Till date I have been able to confirm Lemuria,Sanatana Dharma,Hyperborean and the ancestry of Mayans,Incas,Aztecs,Sumerians,Minoans and Assyrians.

    Looks as though there was a deliberate attempt behind the collapse of civilizations and the emergence of new ones.

    I have stumbled on the Theory of Root Races,which are Prehistotic.

    There are seven root races and many subraces.

    Five have emerged and rwo yet to manifest.

    It might look strange and not to reason.

    No.

    The instruments of Knowledge and our concept of Time needs a relook.

    This is necessitated by the emergence of Quantum Theory,Time warp and Multiverses.

    I have written on these and other points mentioned in this article.

    Please check under Hinduism/Astronomy categories in this site.

    Shall write more on these and the sources of Knowledge and our modern day science.

    The Root Races.

    Every planet develops seven Root Races and seven subraces. Our planet Earth already developed five Root Races; it needs to develop two more Root Races.

    After the seven Root Races, the planet Earth, already transformed by cataclysms over the course of millions of years, will become a new moon.

    This entire Earth’s devolving and evolving life came from the Moon. When the great life abandoned the Moon, it died; it became a desert. The Moon also developed seven Root Races and each one of them developed seven subraces. The soul [of the Moon], the lunar life, is now devolving and evolving in our planet Earth; this is how the worlds reincarnate.

    The Aztecs state that the human beings of the first Root Race were extraordinary, dark-colored giants. This was a very civilized, androgynous, asexual, semi-physical, semi-ethereal Root Race. Their individuals could reduce their height to the size of an average person of this present Aryan Root Race. Their rituals—as well as their wisdom—were portentous. Barbarism did not exist in their epoch; this Root Race was devoured by the Tigers of Wisdom.

    The regent of the first Root Race was the God Tezcatlipoca. Each individual was a Master of Wisdom. Their reproduction system was effectuated by means of the fissiparous act; this is a system similar to that which organic cells use for reproduction, which is the process of cellular division. This is how the organism of the father-mother was divided into two, and the androgynous child was fastened to the father-mother for awhile.

    The first Root Race lived on the Sacred Island situated in the north polar cap. That island still exists, yet it is in a Jinn state within the fourth vertical.

    The second Root Race was governed by Quetzalcoatl; this was the Hyperborean humanity. The degenerated people of the second Root Race converted themselves into monkeys; these are the ancestors of present monkeys. They reproduced themselves by budding, such as the plants do: from their trunk sprout many branches. They were wiped out by strong hurricanes.

    The third Root Race was the Lemurian race, which inhabited Mu, which today is the Pacific Ocean. They perished by fire raining from the sun (volcanoes and earthquakes). This Root Race was governed by the Aztec God Tlaloc. Their reproduction was by means of gemmation. Lemuria was a very extensive continent.

    The Lemurians who degenerated had, afterwards, faces similar to birds; this is why some savages, when remembering tradition, adorned their heads with feathers.

    The fourth Root Race was the Atlanteans and was governed by the Aztec God Atonatiuh. It finished with a great inundation. The pre-Columbian tribes of America are descendents of this Root Race, as well as the primeval Chinese and Egyptians, etc.

    The fifth is the Aryan Root Race: we are this Root Race. The present Aryan race will end with a great cataclysm.

    This cataclysm is perfectly described in the Ahau Katún, which is the 13 Ahau Katun, the thirteenth to be counted. Cabal lxbach Chachalaca town. Kinchil Coba, Chachalaca of solar face is the base of the thirteenth Katun.

    The branch of the lords of earth will be black by the universal justice of God, our Lord. The Sun will turn away. The face of the Moon will turn away.

    Blood will run on trees and stones. The heavens and earth will burn by the word of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Holy Justice, Holy Judgement of God, our Lord.

    The force of heaven and earth will be worthless when the big cities and the hidden towns, and the great city Maax-Monkey and all the small towns everywhere in the flat country of Maya-Cusamil-Mayapán, Mayan-swallow-deer-banner, become Christians.

    It will be the time when two-days-humanoids (homosexuals and lesbians) will raise, in the heat of lechery, as the children of the wicked and the perverse — height of our perdition and shame.

    Our children will be offered to the May flower and there will be no good for us.

    The rising Moon will be the beginning of death by bad blood, and on the coming of the full Moon, the whole of the blood will come.

    The good stars will also show kindness to the dead and the living.

    Until here we read what the book of the books of Chilam Balam, sacred jewel of the Mayan people, textually states.

    Sixth Root Race: Koradi. It will exist after the cataclysm of the fifth Root Race; it will live on a transformed Earth.

    The seventh Root Race will be the last one.

    Now, it is necessary to talk about the seven planetary rounds.’

    Root races are stages in human evolution in the esoteric cosmology of theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, as described in her book The Secret Doctrine (1888). These races existed mainly on now-lost continents. Blavatsky’s model was developed by later theosophists, most notably William Scott-Elliot in The Story of Atlantis (1896) and The Lost Lemuria (1904). Annie Besant further developed the model in Man: Whence, How and Whither (1913). Both Besant and Scott-Elliot relied on information from Charles Webster Leadbeater obtained by “astral clairvoyance”. Further elaboration was provided by Rudolf Steiner in Atlantis and Lemuria (1904). Rudolf Steiner, and subsequent theosophist authors, have called the time periods associated with these races, Epochs (Steiner felt that the term “race” was not adequate anymore for modern humanity)….’
