दो प्रत्यक्ष नवरात्रि equinox के आसपास हैं
दो गुप्त नवरात्रि solstice के आसपास होती हैं

जब सूर्य नारायण इस चार बिंदुओं पर होते हैं तब मस्तिष्क को सरलतापूर्वक साधना में लगाया जा सकता है 🙏🏼
जय अंबे 🙏🏼

[prerna jain 💖 @balajidhaam]

मार���कंडेय पुराण के दुर्गा सप्तशती के पन्ने पलटिए। पूरी कथा के केंद्र में कोई त्रिशूलधारी देवी सीधे प्रकट नहीं होतीं; शुरुआत होती है दो भटके हुए, अवसादग्रस्त पात्रों से
—राजा सुरथ और समाधि वैश्य।

एक का राज्य छिन चुका है, दूसरे को उसके ही परिवार ने संपत्ति छीनकर घर से धक्के मारकर बाहर निकाल दिया है। दोनों जंगल में मेधा ऋषि के आश्रम में बैठकर रो रहे हैं। दोनों जानते हैं कि जिन लोगों ने उन्हें धो��ा दिया, वे उनके शत्रु हैं, फिर भी उनका मन उन्हीं के मोह में तड़प रहा है।

वे ऋषि से पूछते हैं: "भगवन! बुद्धि सब जानती है, फिर भी यह मन उसी गंदगी की ओर क्यों भागता है?"

मेधा ऋषि जो उत्तर देते हैं, वह आधुनिक न्यूरोसाइंस की सबसे बड़ी पहेली है: "ज्ञानिनामापि चेतांसि देवी भगवती हि सा, बलादाकृष्य मोहाय महामाया प्रयच्छति।" (अर्थात—ज्ञानी से ज्ञानी मनुष्य के चेतन मस्तिष्क को भी जो शक्ति बलपूर्वक खींचकर गहरे भ्रम के अंधकार में धकेल देती है, वही 'महामाया' है।)

इस सरल उदाहरण जानते-बूझते मीठा खाने की लत से इसे समझते हैं। एक डायबिटीज (शुगर) के मरीज को बुद्धि से अच्छी तरह पता होता है कि गुलाब जामुन खाने से उसकी जान जोखिम में पड़ सकती है। डॉक्टर ने मना किया है, रिपोर्ट सामने है। फिर भी जैसे ही सामने थाली आती है, उसका हाथ खुद-ब-खुद मिठाई की ओर बढ़ जाता है। बुद्धि (10%) कहती है 'मत खाओ', लेकिन भीतर का अवचेतन मन (90%) उसे खींचकर ले जाता है। राजा सुरथ और समाधि वैश्य के साथ ठीक यही हो रहा था—उनकी बुद्धि जानती थी कि परिवार और मंत्रियों ने धोखा दिया है, पर अवचेतन मन उन्हीं की याद में रो रहा था।
यहीं से शुरू होता है नवरात्रि का वह दूसरा अध्याय जिसे ऋषियों ने आम जनता की पहुंच से छिपाकर तांत्रिकों और सिद्धों की गुप्त संदूकची में बंद कर दिया था—गुप्त नवरात्र और मस्तिष्क की री-प्रोग्रामिंग का वि���्ञान!
1. गुप्त नवरात्र: क्यों छिपाए गए दो महा-संक्रांति काल?
वर्ष में चार नवरात्र होते हैं:
प्रत्यक्ष नवरात्र: चैत्र (वसंत) और आश्विन (शरद)—यह 'प्रकृति' और 'सूर्य' के प्रत्यक्ष प्रभाव का काल है। यह स्थूल देह को साधने के लिए लोकपर्व बना दिया गया।

माघ में अत्यधिक शीत और आषाढ़ में बादलों का घना आवरण पृथ्वी पर सूर्य की प्रत्यक्ष किरणों को न्यूनतम कर देता है। जब सौर ��र्जा का बाहरी दबाव घटता है, तो अंतरिक्ष से आने वाली 'कॉस्मिक किरणें' (Cosmic Rays) और पृथ्वी के कोर की चुंबकीय तरंगें अधिक प्रभावी हो जाती हैं।
ऋषि जानते थे कि यह वह समय है जब मनुष्य की चेतना को बाहर से कोई सहारा नहीं मिलता। बाहर केवल अंधकार और शून्य है। यदि इस समय कोई साधारण व्यक्ति बिना गुरु के अपने मस्तिष्क की गहराई में उतरेगा, तो वह पागल हो सकता है या गहरे अवसाद (Psychosis) में जा सकता है। इसलिए माघ और आषाढ�� को 'गुप्त' घोषित कर दिया गया—यहाँ नौ देवियों की नहीं, बल्कि 'दस महाविद्याओं' (काली, तारा, षोडशी, भुवनेश्वरी, भैरवी, छिन्नमस्ता, धूमावती, बगलामुखी, मातंगी, कमला) की गुप्त साधनाएं की जाती है

Is Navaratri a sanatan (hindu) parva (religious festival)? - Yes
Are non-followers allowed? - Yes if they accept the principles behind the parva and have devotion
How can this acceptance be checked? - Not possible

Conclusion? - Non-followers are not allowed in garba.

Gun jammed is a sign!
Similar to Captain Smit #HanumanChalisa event!

[United Hindu Council @UHC_Media]

🚨 A Taco Bell cashier in Palatine, Illinois decided that Indian people were subhumans who needed to be killed.
He did not arrive at this conclusion in a vacuum.

For months he watched politicians call Indian visa holders “indentured servants.” He watched propaganda spread across social media about Indians running scams, holding fake degrees, stealing jobs.
He watched online mobs call them roaches, vermin, demon worshippers, filthy invaders.
He watched elected officials stay silent through all of it.

He wrote an eight-page manifesto. He loaded an AR-style rifle. He put on tactical body armor bearing white supremacist patches.
He put gasoline cans in his car.
He drove to the largest Hindu temple in Aurora on Day 1 of Navratri, pulled the trigger, and the gun jammed.

He called his coworker from the car. Said the gun jammed. Sent photos of the rifle. Sent a photo of himself in full tactical gear. Sent the manifesto.
The coworker called the police.

One gun malfunction.
One decent human being.
That is all that stood between a Hindu congregation and a mass shooting and fire on Navratri.

This is what unchallenged hatred produces.

His rifle was loaded with the words you chose not to challenge.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,

Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.

Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?

There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.

Thank you 🙏

Bhagavad Geeta: machine, AI are aparā prakrūti. Consciousness is attribute of jīva which is parā prakrūti!

When quantum computing will align with AI and will use AI, that’ll have consciousness. This is still one step away from being jīva!

This cosmic clock is yuga, manvantara, kalpa cycles.

[cosmic pulse @cosmicpulsee]

EARTH HAS A COSMIC CLOCK. Earth's climate doesn't stay exactly the same forever. Over thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, Earth's orbit and orientation in space slowly change. These changes are called the Milankovitch cycles. There are three major cycles: ECCENTRICITY Earth's orbital shape changes from more circular to more elliptical over roughly 100,000 years. OBLIQUITY Earth's axial tilt varies between about 22.1° and 24.5° over roughly 41,000 years. PRECESSION Earth's rotational axis slowly wobbles like a spinning top over roughly 26,000 years. Together, these cycles change where and when sunlight is distributed across Earth, particularly at high latitudes. Over geological timescales, these orbital changes are an important factor in Earth's long-term climate variations and the timing of many glacial and interglacial periods. Think about the scale: Earth's orientation changes over tens of thousands of years... while a human lifetime is only a tiny moment on that clock. The planet isn't just traveling around the Sun. Its entire orbital geometry is slowly changing too. Which cycle surprised you most: eccentricity, obliquity, or precession?

Isn't this too much? Some 600,000 Gujaratis in USA. So, roughly 250,000 are back!!! Are they counting families who are in USA for 2-3 generations? Or just the students and H1Bs? I guess the later. Local Bharatiyas don't consider 2-3 gen old Gujaratis as Bharatiyas!!!

One of the two oldest personifications of India, more than 1,300 years older than Abanindranath Tagore’s Bharat Mata. It’s a silver dish, made sometime in the 6th century AD, that was discovered at Lampsacus, an ancient Greek city in what’s now Turkey.

At its center is a woman identified as the Personification of India, seated on a chair the legs the legs of which are elephant tusks. She holds a bow in one hand and raises the other in a gesture of benediction. She is surrounded by animals associated with India (a parrot, a monkey, a panther, and a tiger) while two turbaned attendants stand below. The dish was richly decorated with gold and black enamel.

અરે કાકા, આ તો એવી વાત થઈ ક�� “ઘરમાં બાપુજીનો ફોટો શા માટે? ભગવાનનો જ રાખો!” 😂

પહેલા એક નાનકડું તથ્ય ગળે ઉતારી લો: BAPSના શિખરબદ્ધ મંદિરોમાં સામાન્ય રીતે એક ગર્ભગૃહમાં હરિ કૃષ્ણ મહારાજ અને રાધા-કૃષ્ણ દેવ, મધ્યમાં અક્ષર-પુરુષોત્તમ અને બીજા ગર્ભગૃહમાં ઘનશ્યામ મહારાજ હોય છે. એટલે “કૃષ્ણને કાઢી મૂક્યા” વાળું બાટલું તો ઢાંકણ ખોલતાં પહેલાં જ ફૂટી ગયું.

હવે બીજું સાંભળો—

“ગુરુની મૂર્તિ છે એટલે ગુરુ ભગવાન થઈ ગયા.”

આ કયા ગામનો હિસાબ છે ભાઈ? 😂

BAPS પોતે જ લખે છે: ગુણાતીત સાધુ ભગવાન ન��ી; અક્ષરબ્રહ્મ પરબ્રહ્મનો આદર્શ ભક્ત છે અને પરબ્રહ્મ પુરુષોત્તમ સર્વોચ્ચ છે. એટલે તમે જે “ગુરુને ભગવાન બનાવી દીધા”નું ઢોલ વગાડો છો, એની ચામડી BAPSના પોતાના સિદ્ધાંતમાં જ નથી.

પણ મજા તો તમારા ઉપાયમાં છે:

“જ્યાં ગુરુની મૂર્તિ છે ત્યાંથી કાઢો અને કૃષ્ણ મૂકો.”

વાહ! આવતીકાલે કહેશો: હનુમાનજીની મૂર્તિ કાઢો—રામ રાખો. નંદ��� કાઢો—શિવ રાખો. ગરુડ કાઢો—વિષ્ણુ રાખો.

થોડા દિવસમાં આખું સનાતન ધર્મ તમારી “એક મૂર્તિ પ્રતિ મંદિર યોજના” હેઠળ આવી જાય. 🤣

ગુરુનું સન્માન કરવું એટલે ઈષ્ટદેવને હટાવવો નથી કાકા.

આ તો એવી બુદ્ધિ થઈ કે લગ્નમાં બાપુજી આગળની ખુરશી પર બેઠા હોય તો બોલવું: “વરરાજાને પાછળ ધકેલી દીધો! લગ્ન તો બાપુજીના જ લાગે છે!” 😂

સમસ્યા મૂર્તિઓમાં નથી…

સમસ્યા એ છે કે તમારી પાસે પહેલેથી ચુકાદો તૈયાર છે, પછી એમાં ફિટ થાય એટલું જ વાંચવાનું.

કૃષ્ણની મૂર્તિ મંદિરમાં હાજર હોવા છતાં લખવું “કૃષ્ણ નથી,”
BAPS પોતે “સાધુ ભગવાન નથી” કહે છતાં લખવું “સાધુને ભગવાન બનાવ્યો,”
અને પછી નામ રાખવું—“શુદ્ધ ગુજરાતી”.

ગુજરાતી શુદ્ધ હશે ભાઈ…

પણ તર્કની ચડ્ડી તો ઊંધી પહેરાઈ ગઈ લાગે છે. 😂🔥

Interestingly, Rúgveda 8.96.13-17 mentions Krúshña as asura living near Anshumati(Yamuna) with whom Indra had a fight with rain/thunder and Indra won!

Quite possible that at that time Rùshi of this súkta would not consider Krúshña as ��rya.

[Jijith Nadumuri Ravi @Jijith_NR]

Did Sri Krishna laugh at Ghatotkacha's death?😮

Certainly not!

Krishna is bearing a bad name due to redactors of Mahabharata in the post Mauryan Sunga-Gupta Periods.

A critical correction is needed regarding the episode of Ghaṭotkaca’s death.

The later layers of Mahābhārata do not merely show Krishna laughing at Ghaṭotkaca’s fall.

They go further.

They show Krishna justifying the killing of Ghaṭotkaca by branding him a “Brahmana killer.”

This justification itself is a Śuṅga–Gupta period insertion. It collapses immediately once we examine Krishna’s own consistent position toward Brahminical authority.

Krishna was never a Brahmana supremacist in his life as revealed through Mahābhārata or Harivaṃśa!

The idea that Krishna would justify a killing by appealing to Brahmana victimhood is historically and philosophically impossible for the original Krishna.

Consider his own life and teachings:

• Krishna openly opposed Indra worship in Vrindavana in the Surasena kingdom, popularised by Brāhmaṇas from the adjacent Kuru Janapada.

• He established the Govardhana mountaiin worship in Vrindavana instead of the Vedic Indra worship

• In the Gītā, he dismisses some Veda reciters as people speaking flowery words (puṣpitāṁ vācam)

• He declares the Vedas as bound by the three Guṇas and urges Arjuna to transcend them

• He repeatedly undermines ritualism in favour of direct insight and action (Karma).

This is not the worldview of someone who would moralise violence in the name of a frivolous, undocumented, manufactured Brahmana victimhood.

Krishna himself suffered at the hands of Brahmanas like Durvāsa!

One striking episode:

The sage Durvāsā humiliates Krishna and Rukmiṇī

• Forces Rukmiṇī to pull a chariot with him inside
• Whips her as she pulls
• Smears leftover food on the bodies of both Krishna and Rukmiṇī

Krishna endures this and understood the social reality of power and restraint in a society run by Varna by Birth.

That is why he became an advocate of Varna by Guna & Karma like it was in the Rgvedic Period, rejected Varna by Birth and proclaimed it through Bhagavat Gita.🔥

Ghaṭotkaca is never known in Mahabharata as a killer of Brahmanas.

If he did, then the just Yudhiṣṭhira who was the refuge of Brahmanas would never be affectionate to him. Nor will Bhima accept him as his son.

The real issue: chronology blindness

MT Vasudevan Nair, in Randamoozham, accepts the “Krishna justified it” narrative without recognising chronology layers and attributes it directly to Krishna.

That is the core mistake.

The Mahābhārata was not composed in one era.

It circulated orally with multiple historical layers, like the layers of an onion:

Post Rgvedic layer (contemporary to Pandavas)
Pre-Mauryan layer
Mauryan layer
Post-Mauryan layer (Sunga/Gupta)

The “Ghaṭotkaca was a Brahmin killer, so his death is justified” :- this kind of logic belongs to the Śuṅga–Gupta ideological climate, not the Pandava world. Sungas declared Mauryans as Shudras and themselves as Brahmanas and there was an atmosphere of Shudra vs Brahmana rivalry then.

Projecting it backwards onto Krishna is anachronism.
