Considering modern times people hardly get time to go through these elaborate scripts. These scriptures are nothing less than a fortune hidden in some ancient cave.

  • S3 Ep2: Gayatri Mantra
    Jan 17 2023

    The Gayatri Mantra is a Hindu hymn dedicated to the Hindu Sun God, Surya. It is considered one of the most powerful and sacred mantras in Hinduism. The mantra is typically recited in the morning and evening by Hindus, and is also recited during religious ceremonies and rituals. The mantra is as follows:

    "Om bhoor bhuvah svah - Tat savitur varenyam - Bhargo devasya dhimahi - Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat"

    It roughly translates to "We meditate on the glory of the Creator; Who has created the Universe; Who is worthy of Worship; Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light; Who is the remover of Sin and Ignorance; May He enlighten our intellect."

    Here are a few steps you can take to incorporate the Gayatri Mantra into your daily practice:

    1. Set aside a specific time of day to recite the mantra. Many Hindus recite the mantra in the morning and evening, but you can choose any time that works for you.
    2. Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can sit and focus on the mantra without distractions.
    3. Sit in a comfortable and upright position, with your back straight and your eyes closed.
    4. Begin reciting the mantra slowly and clearly, focusing on the meaning and spiritual significance of the words.
    5. Repeat the mantra 108 times, using a mala (a strand of 108 beads) or counting with your fingers.
    6. As you recite the mantra, try to let go of any distracting thoughts and focus your mind on the words of the mantra and its spiritual significance.
    7. After completing the 108 recitations, take a moment to sit quietly and reflect on your experience before continuing with your day.

    It's important to note that the mantras are believed to be powerful and should be treated with respect, it is said that a teacher or Guru should be the one who should initiate a person into the recitation of mantras.

  • S3 Ep1: Mantras
    Jan 16 2023

    A mantra is a word or phrase that is repeated as a form of meditation and concentration. It is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of "creating transformation." Mantras can be in any language, but are often in Sanskrit, a sacred language of Hinduism and Buddhism. They are used as a tool for spiritual development and to invoke the blessings of deities, spiritual teachers, or specific qualities such as compassion or wisdom.

    In Hinduism and Buddhism, mantras are typically used in conjunction with other practices such as yoga, meditation, and puja (worship). They can be recited silently or out loud, and they can be repeated a specific number of times or as many times as desired.

    Mantras can be used for a variety of purposes such as purifying the mind, gaining spiritual insight, and achieving a sense of inner peace. They are also believed to have a powerful vibrational energy that can affect the mind and body in positive ways.

    Mantras can be divided into three categories:

    1. Vedic Mantras: These are the oldest mantras and are found in the Vedas, the ancient Hindu scriptures. They are used for ritual and spiritual purposes.
    2. Tantric Mantras: These mantras are used in tantra, a form of spiritual practice that seeks to elevate the individual to a higher level of consciousness.
    3. Buddhist Mantras: These are used in Buddhism and are often associated with specific deities or concepts such as compassion or wisdom.

    It's important to note that reciting a mantra without understanding its meaning or without proper guidance from a qualified teacher, may not yield the desired results.

  • S2 Ep14: Ganesha - God of New Beginnings

    Ganesha - God of New Beginnings, Success and Wisdom

    Lord Ganesha is one of the most popular Gods in our Hindu culture. He is known to be the destroyer of obstacles and devotees worship him at the onset of any important work. He is one of the most distinctive Gods with an elephant head and a human body. Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati and is the brother of Kartikeya and Ashok Sundari. He is also the God of prosperity and fortune.

    There are several stories in regards to his birth. In one of the stories he is born from Shiva and Parvati in a forest. Parvati was elated after her son's birth. She invited all the Gods to come and see the child's face but forgot to call Lord Shani. That is why Shani's evil eye fell on him and his head was burnt. This is when Lord Shiva replaces his head with an elephant head.

    In the second story Shiva and Pravati visit a forest and happen to see an elephant couple joyfully playing with each other. Lord Shiva and Parvati also take forms of elephant and decide to stay in the forest for a while. During their stay in the forest Lord Ganesh is born.

    This story is the most popular story about Ganesha's birth. Once Goddess Parvati and her friends Jaya and Vijaya were bathing in her apartment. Parvati had asked Nandi to stand outside the house and guard it. She told him not to allow anyone to enter until they finished bathing. However Shiva came unexpectedly at the door. Poor Nandi requested Shiva not to enter the house but Shiva did not listen. He entered the house. Parvati was furious after that. She wanted a personal guard now who will not let anyone enter the house without her permission not even Shiva. This is when she created Ganesha out of the dirt she rubbed off during her bath. She created a very handsome boy and gasped in joy looking at her son. Ganesha asked what shall he do for his mother. Parvati asked him to be a guard and stand at the entrance. She told him not to allow anyone. Shiva again turned up unexpectedly and wanted to enter the house. Lord Ganesha didn't let him. Shiva did not know then that he was created by Parvati and thought him to be some random person. Lord Ganesh also didn't know that Shiva was Parvati's husband. He did not allow Shiva to enter the house. Shiva turned angry and the fire from his third eye burnt Ganesha's head. When Parvati saw this she turned furious. Her rage and anger started burning the whole Universe. To calm her down and restore balance in the Universe Lord Shiva makes Ganesha alive again by replacing his head with an elephant's head. Lord Shiva was guilty and apologized for his anger. He then declared Ganesha as the chief of all Gods. He announced that all the worship and rituals should only begin by praying to Lord Ganesha first. Only after worshipping him the prayers would reach other Gods.

    Ganesha is also known as the God of intellect. Once Ganesha and Kartikeyan argued who will marry first. This is when their parents Shiva and Parvati decided to conduct a competition among them. They told both of them that whoever goes around the entire world and reaches Kailasha first will be the first one to marry. Lord Kartikeyan immediately left Kailasha with the aim of covering the Universe first. However Lord Ganesha just circled his parents 7 times and said he has won the race. When Parvati and Shiva asked he said that it was written in Shastras that circling your parents 7 times is as good as moving through the whole world. Lord Shiva was impressed with his intellect and he won the race. Hence he was married to two beautiful sisters Buddhi (embodiment of Wisdom and intellect) and Siddhi (Embodiment of spiritual growth and success). He later had two sons from them Kshema (prosperity) from Siddhi and Labha (Fortune) from Buddhi.
