இறைவனுக்கும் உலகுயிர்கட்குமுள்ள தொடர்பு :
இறைவனுக்கும் உலகுயிர்கட்கும் உள்ள தொடர்பு மூவகையாகக் கூறப்படும். அவை ஒன்றாதல், வேறாதல், உடனாதல் என்பன. சிவஞானபோதம் இரண்டாம் சூத்திரத்தின் தொடக்கமான 'அவையே தானேயாய்' என்பது பொருள் கொள்ளப்படும்போது அவையேயாய், தானேயாய், அவையே தானேயாய் என விரித்துப் பொருள் கொள்ளப்படும்.
அவையேயாய் – ஒன்றாதல்
தானேயாய் – வேறாதல்
அவையே தானேயாய் – உடனாதல்
ஒன்றாதல் :
இறைவன் எல்லாப் பொருட்களிலும் கலப்பு நிலையில் ஒன்றாக உள்ளான். இதற்கு 'உடலும் உயிரும்' உவமையாகக் கூறுவர். உயிரின் கலப்பு இல்லாமல் உடல் தனித்து நிற்றல் முடியாது. அதுபோல இறைவனின் கலப்பு இல்லாமல் எப்பொருளும் நிற்றல் இல்லை. எனவே கலப்புத் தன்மையால் உயிர் நிலைத்து நிற்க முடிகிறது.
வேறாதல் :
உடலும் உயிரும் கலப்பால் ஒன்றாயினும் உடல் வேறு. உயிர் வேறு. அதுபோல இறைவன் உயிர்களோடு கலந்திருந்தாலும் உயிர் வேறு. இறைவன் வேறு. இதற்குச் சிவப்பிரகாசம் கூறும் உவமை 'கண்ணொளியும் சூரிய ஒளியும்' என்பதாம். கண்ணொளி காணும் தன்மையுடையது. ஆயினும் விளக்கொளியோ சூரிய ஒளியோ பொருட்களை விளக்கிக் காட்டினாலன்றி கண்ணொளி தானாக எதையும் கண்டுவிடா. அதுபோல உயிர் அறிவும் பொருளாயினும் தானாக எதையும் அறிந்துவிடா. இறைவன் அறிவிக்க அறியும். எனவே உயிரின் அறிவை விளக்க இறைவன் வேறாய் நிற்றல் அவசியமாகிறது.
உடனாதல் :
உடனாதலாவது உயிர் ஒன்றை அறியும்பொழுது இறைவனும் அதனோடு உடன் அறிவித்தலாம். இதற்குச் சிவப்பிரகாசம் கூறும் உவமை "கண்ணொளியும் ஆன்மபோதமும்" என்பதாம். ஆன்மபோதம் என்றது உயிரறிவைக் குறிக்கும். விளக்கொளி பொருளை விளக்கிக் காட்டினால் மட்டும் கண்ணொளி அதனைக் கண்டுவிடாது. கண் காணும்போது உயிரறிவும் உடன்நின்று காணல் வேண்டும். உதாரணமாக நாம் தெருவில் நடந்து செல்லும்போது வேறு சிந்தனையிலிருந்தால் நம் கண்கள் விழித்திருப்பினும் எதிரில் வரும் நண்பரைக் காணமாட்டா. அதனால் அவரைப் பார்க்காது செல்வோம். அச்சமயம் உயிரறிவு கண்ணோடு பொருந்தி உடன் நின்று காணாததால் நம் கண்கள் காணாதவாயின. அதுபோல இறைவன் உடன்நின்று அறிவிக்கவில்லையாயின் உயிர்கள் ஒன்றினையும் அறியா.
கண்ணுக்குக் காட்டுவதொன்றை உயிர் தானும் காண நேர்வது போல உயிருக்குக் காட்டுவதொன்றைச் சிவன்தானும் காண நேருமோ என வினா எழும். ஆம் காணத்தான் வரும். காரணம் உயிர் காணும் பொருட்டே.
சைவசித்தாந்தம் கூறும் முப்பொருள் விளக்கம் என்னும் நூலில் இருந்து.
India could have been a semiconductor superpower in 1964 but Congress spent the next 50 years making sure every opportunity was killed before it started, the story of what we lost becomes impossible to read without anger.
In 1964 Robert Noyce, the co-founder of Intel, came to India with a complete blueprint to make this country the global leader in chip manufacturing. He did not come empty handed. He came with the technology, the vision and the intent to build something that would have changed India's trajectory for generations.
Congress sent him to 50 government offices.
He got tired. He left. He went to Hong Kong. And Hong Kong's fortunes changed instead of ours.
That was not bad luck. That was a policy outcome.
The story did not end there. In 1989 India's only chip plant, SCL Mohali, burned down in a fire. The government took 8 years to rebuild it. 8 years. In a sector where technology generations turn over faster than most government files get processed.
Then 2005. Intel was ready to bring a 700 million dollar plant to India. UPA government refused to offer tax incentives. Intel walked. In the same era AMD's imported equipment sat at Indian ports for years gathering dust before being sent back to the country it came from.
By 2014 India did not have a single commercial chip fabrication plant. Not one.
The country that produces a significant portion of the world's semiconductor engineers. The country that built ISRO's computational infrastructure. The country whose mathematicians and scientists power Silicon Valley. Had zero chip plants of its own after 50 years of governance that treated every serious investor like a bureaucratic inconvenience.
Now look at the last 12 years.
Over 25 billion dollars committed under India's Semiconductor Mission. Micron's plant operational in Gujarat. 80,000 wafers being produced monthly at Taloja. Tata's Assam plant packaging 48 million chips daily. Tata Electronics partnering with ASML for the Dholera fab. India entering the semiconductor supply chain that three countries controlled for decades.
The talent was always here.
The difference between 1964 and 2024 is not technology. It is not capital. It is not engineering capability.
It is a government that finally said yes instead of sending the investor to the 51st office.
Today The Modi govt brought an anti-paper leak bill in parliament.
The bill is passed as well.
Guess what the opposition did?
-They voted against it.
Yes, the opposition which was trying to portray themselves as pro-students and was inciting students against the government over paper leaks, voted against the bill which prevents such things.
This is the real face of the opposition.
Listen to BJP MP @dhaval241086 bhai:
गुशब्दस्त्वन्धकारः स्यात् रुशब्दस्तन्निरोधकः ।
अन्धकारनिरोधित्वात् गुरुरित्यभिधीयते ॥
- अद्वयतारकोपनिषद्, १६
The syllable 'Gu' means darkness, the syllable 'Ru' means the one who dispels it. Because of the power to dispel darkness, the Guru is thus named.
- Advayataraka Upanishad
Solar energy can be produced when there is sunlight.
Wind, Hydro, Nuclear, Coal, Fossil fuel all have supply side challenges.
But Geothermal energy is 24 by 7. Once setup, it just uses Earth's heat from inside to produce energy.
Very happy to see India working on Geothermal!

Darshan of Medha DakshinaMurthy
DakshinaMurthy is Adi Guru, Supreme teacher of knowledge & wisdom. Facing south, he is seated in a meditative state with right foot crushing demon Apasmara, symbolizing, destruction of ignorance.
Students for their brilliance in education can chant this particular mantra
Q: Why is there so much pain for the innocent, such as children for instance? How is it to be explained? With reference to previous births or otherwise?
~Ramana Maharshi:
As about the world, if you know your own reality first, these questions won’t arise.
All these differences, the pains and miseries of the innocent, as you say, do they exist independently of you? It is you that see these things and ask about them.
If by the enquiry ‘Who am I?’ you understand the seer, all problems about the seen will be completely solved.
Day by Day with Bhagavan
Submit to me and I will strike down the mind:
There are two ways: either ask yourself 'Who am I?' or surrender to the Guru.
Your business is only to surrender and leave everything to me.
If you go to the hell, Bhagavan will go after you and bring you back.
Even if you let go of Bhagavan, Bhagavan will never let go of you.
I am with you wherever you go.

Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.
In the early 1950s, a silent shadow hung over the stunning valleys of the Himalayas. Across a belt stretching 1000s of KMs from Jammu & Kashmir through Himachal Pradesh & Uttar Pradesh to the North-East, ~50% of the population suffered from swollen necks, massive thyroid goitres & severe physical & mental stunting.
Entire villages were trapped in a cycle of endemic cretinism. Global medical experts insisted the problem was far too massive to fix in a developing nation. Then, a young Oxford-trained pathologist stepped into the Kangra Valley with a crate of crude chemical salt, intent on proving them wrong.
In 1950s, Dr. Vulimiri Ramalingaswami, a brilliant researcher at the ICMR who would later become the Director of AIIMS & DG of ICMR, launched what became known as the Kangra Valley Experiment.
Western nations had previously tackled goitre by adding potassium iodide to table salt. But Western scientists scoffed at the idea of applying this solution to rural India. They argued: Indian monsoon humidity would dissolve & wash away the volatile potassium iodide during transit.
Traditional Indian cooking: boiling, frying & baking salt at high temperatures for hrs would completely destroy the delicate chemical compound.
The logistics of delivering fortified salt across 1000s of roadless mountain villages were biologically & structurally impossible.
Ramalingaswami refused to accept that millions of mountain children were condemned to brain damage & physical stunting by default.
Along with his team, Ramalingaswami designed a massive community trial tracking 100000+ villagers across 3 zones in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra Valley:
- Zone A received KI-fortified salt.
- Zone B received the plain-salt control.
- Zone C received KIO₃-fortified salt.
For yrs, Ramalingaswami personally trekked into remote Himalayan hamlets. He monitored salt distribution trucks, analyzed soil & water iodine levels & examined 1000s of necks & thyroid glands under primitive field conditions. He subjected iodized salt samples to punishing heat, open-air storage in humid huts & traditional Indian boiling to track every milligram of chemical decay.
By 1962, the preliminary results were clear: In the control zone given plain salt, goitre rates stayed high at around 38-40%. In the zones receiving iodized salt (both potassium iodide & potassium iodate), rates fell sharply, ~ by 50% & continued to decline with longer follow-up.
Ramalingaswami had mathematically proved that potassium iodate survived tropical humidity, months of transport in open jute sacks & high-heat Indian cooking w/o losing its protective power.
His empirical data forced the GoI to establish the National Goitre Control Programme in 1962 later the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control Programme, eventually making universal salt iodization the law of the land.
When global bodies like the WHO & UNICEF evaluated his Kangra Valley dataset, they adopted his exact chemical formulation, potassium iodate fortification, as the universal gold standard for tropical & developing nations worldwide.
Every single day when we open a packet of salt in our kitchen, we are holding a life saving chemical shield pioneered in the muddy tracks of the Kangra Valley.
W/o launching a single pharmaceutical drug/performing a single surgery, Vulimiri Ramalingaswami sustained a crippling neurological disease for 100s of millions of children & quietly saved the minds of an entire nation at the kitchen table.
This news never made it in India. India's ISRO developed (partly) and launched NASA-ISRO NISAR satellite found something very interesting in Antarctica 6 days ago.
I'm not getting into the details of what was discovered. The point of this post is something more important:
@isro has 8M followers. It's account is dormant since July 18th. Isn't this a huge waste of information space?
> If we are so poor in our own narrative,
> If even orgs like ISRO can't run an active social media (which many youngsters will do for free if given an internship),
> If GoI isn't pushing India's achievements to reach the Gen-Z continuously,
> If Indian media only cover the issues in India, not elsewhere, and not the good stuff happening,
Then this information and communication gap is captured by adversaries and hostile actors, using our issues like they don't happen elsewhere, to program our own young against the govt, our institutions like ISRO, and our entire country.
Because these young people do not have a past barometer to judge events. They have never seen or experienced India's past. They do not have much understanding of the world.
They simply believe India is the worst place if told like that pointing to issues that happen, easily believe everything bad only happens in India, and whatever bad happens is only because of the Govt.
This is why they are being used for regime change by the DS world over nowadays easily manipulating them using Meta platforms, Reddit, and Telegram.
And a country like India is letting them get used by creating an information and communication vacuum which can be filled by adversaries.
What I am saying is whatever communication from top levels, information on reforms, and narrative about a minister's achievements that came now, after things got bad, could have come before and on a continuous basis.
What is surrender? Sri Ramana Maharshi reveals that surrender is not giving yourself up to something outside you, but returning to the very source of your own being.
~ Ramana Maharshi:
It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one’s being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such source to be some God outside you.
One’s source is within yourself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.
Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
In the mid-1920s, a brilliant young physicist from Chittagong named Satis Ranjan Khastgir returned to India with an impeccable pedigree. He had finished a rigorous PhD at the University of Edinburgh under Prof. C.G. Barkla, a Nobel laureate famous for discovering characteristic X-rays. Khastgir had spent yrs inside dark, heavily shielded basements studying the way X-rays scatter when they collide with matter.
He was primed to establish India's next premier X-ray research lab. But when he arrived, he hit a massive institutional wall.
The few available, well-funded physics positions in colonial India were already occupied by towering titans like C.V. Raman, S.N. Bose & M.N. Saha. The specialized crystal equipment needed for high-end X-ray research was prohibitively expensive & tied up in elite metropolitan departments.
Khastgir found himself stationed at the University of Dacca in 1931 with plenty of eager students, but an empty, underfunded lab. Rather than letting his research stall, Khastgir looked out the window at the violent, unpredictable tropical thunderstorms rolling across the subcontinent.
He realized he did not need expensive imports. He had a natural, massive lab waiting just above his head.
Encouraged by Sisir Kumar Mitra, the pioneer of Indian radio research, Khastgir completely shifted his focus from X-rays to the messy, erratic world of wireless & atmospherics.
At the time, radio technology was still in its infancy. The primary challenge holding back long distance communication was static. The global scientific consensus viewed this static as random background noise. Khastgir suspected otherwise. He believed these crackles were highly structured electromagnetic footprints broadcast by lightning strikes 1000s of KMs away.
Working with a shoestring budget, Khastgir & his students began scavenging for spare copper wire, obsolete vacuum tubes & old radio dials. They built custom, ultra-sensitive directional radio receivers & hooked them up to large, hand wound loop antennas mounted on the university roofs.
Whenever a storm rolled in, Khastgir did not run for cover. He sat in his lab, tuning his homebrewed receivers to intercept the exact frequencies of the lightning's discharge.
By the late 1930s & 40s, Khastgir’s Wireless Lab at Dacca had quietly become 1 of the most productive research schools on the subcontinent. His equations on how radio waves fade & how the upper atmosphere scatters electronic signals were being published in top-tier international journals.
But an unusual pattern began to emerge. Every time Khastgir trained a brilliant research student to assist him, that student would suddenly disappear from the academic world.
Because a newly independent India was trying to build its national infra from scratch, Khastgir's lab became the ultimate talent pool. The newly formed All India Radio & the Indian Meteorological Department desperately needed engineers who understood radio wave propagation & weather tracking. They raided Khastgir’s lab constantly, hiring away his top minds before they could even finish their doctorates.
A more vanity-driven scientist would have been furious that his research factory was being constantly disrupted. Khastgir, however, was delighted. He viewed his lab not as a monument to his own name, but as a quiet engine for the young nation. He simply smiled, lit his tobacco pipe & took on a new batch of raw undergraduates to start the process all over again.
Khastgir eventually moved on to hold prestigious chairs at BHU & later Visva Bharati in Santiniketan, continuing his atmospheric work until his retirement. He passed away quietly in 1973.
He never won a Nobel Prize, he never had a massive government institute named after him & his face never appeared on mainstream television.
Every time a tropical monsoon tracker accurately predicts a cyclone based on atmospheric electrical changes, every time an aircraft safely navigates through a cloud deck using long-range radio beacons & every time a wireless signal cleanly cuts through background static, they are utilizing the exact formulas that Satis Ranjan Khastgir mapped out using scrap copper wire & the wild, open sky.
*A naughty question and a brilliant answer!*
Why can't Lord Shiva be spotted by satellite, if Hindus claim him to be on Mount Kailash in the Himalayas?
Recently on Quora this query arose.
The reply was supposedly from a practicing Hindu from US, holding a PhD.
------
Human eyes and recording equipment can't record what dogs and cats see at night. Then came infrared cameras. We realised shortcomings of our eyes. Microscopes started seeing cells. Scientists went on to build bigger and bigger microscopes, electron microscopes - just realised that the smallest part of independent existence, has many parts. Then came CAT scans, PET scans, MRIs; we started seeing what nobody knew existed.
When scientists thought we knew everything, came dark matter. Never seen or heard of earlier but, now, believed to occupy about 75% of of space. Again we knew we don't know anything.
AS A TRAINED SCIENTIST I CAN SHARE THE REAL SECRET OF WHY LORD SHIVA CAN'T BE SPOTTED, ON MOUNT KAILASH, BY SATELLITES.
For seeing Shiva on that mountain, we need different eyes. Once we have those, He can be seen not just on Kailash by scientists but everywhere and anywhere because that mountain is not the only place, He is. He is everywhere.
This separate set of eyes required are those of mind, those of heart, those of dedication, those of your surrender.
Once that comes, rest all will automatically fall into place.
Varahi Mata is called Dandanatha, Dandanayiki 🌸
She is called Dandanatha because she always carries a danda (staff) with her. She is the commander-in-chief of Maa Lalita's army.
She punishes the demons with her staff. The staff is a divine weapon of Maa Varahi. It is the rod which represents discipline, karmic justice and the punishment of evil.
Maa Varahi's chariot is the Kiri Chakra Rath - chariot of boars. Her chariot is of 5 stories and is drawn by many boars.
Kiri also means beam of light (rays) of creation. And Chakra means the cycle of creation, sustenance and dissolution.
In Sri Vidya Tantra, she's the Goddess who destroys demons and the obstructions that sadhaks face during worship and restore spiritual balance.
Maa Varahi's worship leads devotees to Maa Lalita.
Varahi Maa is also called Sthambini Devi as she paralyzes enemies.
The 70th name of Maa Lalita in her Sahasranama Stotram is Kiri chakra ratharooda dandanatha puraskrutha which means -
She who rides in the Kiri chariot with five stories and is served by Goddess Varahi , who's called Dandanatha

@RajanThakar3
In some old Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu, a man in a white veshti stands at the sanctum door at dawn and sings.
He is an Odhuvar.
He has no microphone and no accompaniment except a pair of small bronze cymbals. The songs he sings are about 1,300 years old. 🧵
As Kaliyuga progresses, you will notice something strange. The old world of ghosts, wandering spirits, and haunted places is quietly disappearing.
Our elders had endless stories of ghostly encounters. Ours have fewer. Our children will have almost none. This is not because such beings are vanishing from existence. It is because they are finding human bodies now.
Kaliyuga opens a door that the earlier yugas kept closed. Wandering souls, restless spirits, even beings from lower realms, all of them are managing to slip into human wombs during this age. And this is not entirely a curse. Taking a human body is a chance to liberate, to walk the path of bhakti, to break out of the loop they were trapped in for ages.
But there is a cost, and we are all living inside it.
This is exactly why humanity today feels so strange. Almost no one is pure inside out anymore. Everyone carries a dual, separable nature. A light face and a dark face, running side by side in the same person. You meet someone kind in the morning and cruel in the evening. Sincere in one moment, calculating in the next. Devoted at the temple, ruthless at the office.
The most evil people walking around us today were not always here. They have entered through this open door.
Observe your surroundings with this lens. It explains a lot about why the world feels the way it feels.
Skanda Sashti tomorrow while Siddhi Yoga and Ravi Yoga will form.
You can fulfill all your desires tomorrow with the right sankalp.
Nullify any negativity in life by strengthening your fire element esp of you are going through a 6th house dasa, a Mangal or Surya dasa.
It will help you fight your battles, destroy health problems and strengthen your will power.
