There are two basic incipiences (उदगम) of ways-of-life. One is located East of Indus river while the otherin Central Asia. These ways of life have given rise to several religions. Indic religions are Santam Dharam, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism and many other sects, Collectively called Hinduism (as defined in the Constitution). While other religions like Judaism, Christianity, Islam and many sects. This blog highlights the glory of pre-invasion era way of life in Indian sub-continent.

Caste discrimination in Mahabharata
Caste discrimination in Mahabharata
Source: https://twitter.com/VedicWisdom1/status/1295361527612977153?s=20
These are two famous Myths here which will be debunked. 1. Eklavya was discriminated against because of his caste. Wrong there is no Caste issue in this story.
Drona specifically said he needed students who possess good qualities. He did not take students who possessed bad qualities
Now let's see Eklavya, he was actually covered with filth and was very dirty. Those who cannot maintain even basic hygiene can they responsibly use weapons they possessed?
शौच (Hygeine) was the first thing taught to a child at that time most basic, Lacking that meant he was not worthy of learning. He did learn in the forest and he misused that too by shooting arrows in the mouth of an innocent dog. As he was not worthy Drona asked for his thumb.
Also, Same Eklavya later attacked Dwarka and was defeated by Balrama
2. Karna also was not discriminated because of his Caste, utas used to study Vedas, Smritis, Puranas etc at that time, they were not discriminated against. Mahabharat Shanti Parva states-

Hindu Astonomy
Source : @templescience on FaceBook
🔥🔥 This Ancient Vedic Text (Srimad-Bhagavatam) gives an Accurate Map of the Planetary Orbits known to Modern Astronomy 🔥🔥
Today we take for granted that the earth is a sphere, but the early Greeks tended to think it was flat.
For example, in the fifth century B.C. the philosopher Thales thought of the earth as a disk floating on water like a log.
1. About a century later, Anaxagoras taught that it is flat like a lid and stays suspended in air.
2. A few decades later, the famous atomist Democritus argued that the earth is shaped like a tambourine and is tilted downwards toward the south.
3. Although some say that Pythagoras, in the sixth century B.C., was the first to view the earth as a sphere, this idea did not catch on quickly among the Greeks, and the first attempt to measure the earth’s diameter is generally attributed to Eratosthenes in the second century B.C.
💥
Scholars widely believe that prior to the philosophical and scientific achievements of the Greeks, people in ancient civilized societies regarded the earth as a flat disk.
So to find that the Bhagavata Purana of India appears to describe a sphere earth comes as enough incredulity.
The Bhagavata Purana, or Srimad-Bhagavatam, is dated by scholars to A.D. 500-1000, although it is acknowledged to contain much older material and its traditional date is the beginning of the third millennium B.C.
💥
In the Bhagavatam, Bhumandala - the “Earth Mandala” - is a sphere 500 million yojanas in diameter.
The Yojana is a unit of distance about 8 miles long, and so the diameter of Bhumandala is about 4 billion miles.
Bhumandala is marked by circular features designated as islands and oceans. These features are listed in Table 1, along with their dimensions, as given in the Bhagavatam.
🌅
Let's check ,
Bhagavata Purana, composed around 1800 BCE (according to western historians) describes in detail, Stars, planets in our solar system, Sun, their dimensions, distances between them, climatic and karmic effects of their movement.
"sa eṣa bhagavān ādi-puruṣa eva sākṣān nārāyaṇo lokānāṁ svastaya ātmānaṁ trayīmayaṁ karma-viśuddhi-nimittaṁ kavibhir api ca vedena vijijñāsyamāno dvādaśadhā vibhajya ṣaṭsu vasantādiṣv ṛtuṣu yathopa-joṣam ṛtu-guṇān vidadhāti"
Translation :
Original cause of the cosmic manifestation is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa.
When great saintly persons, fully aware of the Vedic knowledge, offered prayers to the Supreme Person, He descended to this material world in the form of the sun to benefit all the planets and purify fruitive activities.
He divided Himself into twelve parts and created seasonal forms, beginning with spring. In this way He created the seasonal qualities, such as heat, cold and so on.
🔥
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 5, Chapter 22 describes our solar system in detail.
"yathā kulāla-cakreṇa bhramatā saha bhramatāṁ tad-āśrayāṇāṁ pipīlikādīnāṁ gatir anyaiva pradeśāntareṣv apy upalabhyamānatvād evaṁ nakṣatra-rāśibhir upalakṣitena kāla-cakreṇa dhruvaṁ meruṁ ca pradakṣiṇena paridhāvatā saha paridhāvamānānāṁ tad-āśrayāṇāṁ sūryādīnāṁ grahāṇāṁ gatir anyaiva nakṣatrāntare rāśy-antare copalabhyamānatvāt"
Translation :
Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī clearly answered:
When a potter’s wheel is moving and small ants located on that big wheel are moving with it, one can see that their motion is different from that of the wheel because they appear sometimes on one part of the wheel and sometimes on another.
Similarly, the signs and constellations, with Sumeru and Dhruvaloka on their right, move with the wheel of time, and the antlike sun and other planets move with them.
The sun and planets, however, are seen in different signs and constellations at different times.
This indicates that their motion is different from that of the zodiac and the wheel of time itself.
🚩🚩
The time that the passage of the sun takes moving through both the spheres above and below, speeding slow, fast or moderate, is in the descriptions of the scholars discussed as a samvatsara [a solar year],
a parivatsara [one twelfth of a revolution of Jupiter],
an idâvatsara [a day of the gods consisting of 360 solar days]
an anuvatsara [a lunar year comprising twelve lunations] and
a vatsara [a year to the ecliptic in terms of the 27 lunar mansions or nakshatras]

"evaṁ candramā arka-gabhastibhya upariṣṭāl lakṣa-yojanata upalabhyamāno ’rkasya saṁvatsara-bhuktiṁ pakṣābhyāṁ māsa-bhuktiṁ sapādarkṣābhyāṁ dinenaiva pakṣa-bhuktim agracārī drutatara-gamano bhuṅkte.
Translation : Sun lit Moon, who is placed a hundred thousand yojanas [astronomy: ± 385.000 km] above [the earth] and is moving much faster [than the sun], is so the passage of one year of the sun covered by the passage of two fortnights, is in two and a quarter of a day one solar month [or one twelfth of the sky] passed and is in only one day [the portion of] a fortnight of solar days passed.
(Modern astronauts estimated distance between Earth and Moon to be 384,400 km)
🌏🌏🌏
tata upariṣṭād dvi-lakṣa-yojanato nakṣatrāṇi meruṁ dakṣiṇenaiva kālāyana īśvara-yojitāni sahābhijitāṣṭā-viṁśatiḥ.
Translation :
[More than] two hundred thousand yojanas behind [the moon], leaving Meru to the right are there, together with the many stars by the Controller attached to the wheel of time, the twenty-eight stars headed by Abhijit (Vega).
🌠
"tata upariṣṭād uśanā dvi-lakṣa-yojanata upalabhyate purataḥ paścāt sahaiva vārkasya śaighrya-māndya-sāmyābhir gatibhir arkavac carati lokānāṁ nityadānukūla eva prāyeṇa varṣayaṁś cāreṇānumīyate sa vṛṣṭi-viṣṭambha-grahopaśamanaḥ"
Translation :
At a distance of two hundred thousand yojanas there about [about the star center or the sun; astronomy: at a distance of 107 million km] there is Us’anâ [Venus], the planet that can be seen going in front, behind and rotating along with the sun just as fast, slow or with a moderate speed. It is of all the planets the one considered to exert as good as always a favorable influence in the form of rainfall, it by its movements neutralizes the influence of planets that obstruct rainfall.
🌅
"uśanasā budho vyākhyātas tata upariṣṭād dvi-lakṣa-yojanato budhaḥ soma-suta upalabhyamānaḥ prāyeṇa śubha-kṛd yadārkād vyatiricyeta tadātivātābhra-prāyānāvṛṣṭy-ādi-bhayam āśaṁsate"
Translation :
Another two hundred thousand yoyana’s behind Venus [astronomy: 57.9 million miles from the sun], so is explained, is there situated Mercury, the son of the moon; he is as good as always working auspiciously, but at the time he stands apart from the sun is there almost always an increase of fearful conditions like draughts, a closed sky, and stormy conditions.
🌅
"ata ūrdhvam aṅgārako ’pi yojana-lakṣa-dvitaya upalabhyamānas tribhis tribhiḥ pakṣair ekaikaśo rāśīn dvādaśānubhuṅkte yadi na vakreṇābhivartate prāyeṇāśubha-graho ’gha-śaṁsaḥ"
Translation :
Two hundred thousands yojanas outside of our orbit there is also Mars [astronomy: at about 228 million km from the sun]; in three by three fortnights does he, if he doesn’t make a curve, one after another pass through the twelve signs and in his approach he is as good as always an unfavorable planet giving trouble.
💥
"tata upariṣṭād dvi-lakṣa-yojanāntara-gatā bhagavān bṛhaspatir ekaikasmin rāśau parivatsaraṁ parivatsaraṁ carati yadi na vakraḥ syāt prāyeṇānukūlo brāhmaṇa-kulasya"
Translation :
Two hundred thousand yojanas outside of Mars [astronomy: 778.3 million km from the sun] is there the most powerful planet Jupiter who, if he doesn’t run a curve, takes a year [parivatsara] to one after another move through one sign; to the brahmins in the universe he almost always turns out to be very favorable.
💥
"tata upariṣṭād yojana-lakṣa-dvayāt pratīyamānaḥ śanaiścara ekaikasmin rāśau triṁśan māsān vilambamānaḥ sarvān evānuparyeti tāvadbhir anuvatsaraiḥ prāyeṇa hi sarveṣām aśāntikaraḥ"
Translation :
Two hundred thousand yojanas behind him is situated Saturn [astronomy: 1.43 billion km from the sun], who takes a period of thirty months to travel through each single sign and for sure is as slow as taking an equal number of years [anuvatsara’s] to pass through all of them; he indeed means almost always a lot of trouble to all.
🔥🔥
"tata uttarasmād ṛṣaya ekādaśa-lakṣa-yojanāntara upalabhyante ya eva lokānāṁ śam anubhāvayanto bhagavato viṣṇor yat paramaṁ padaṁ pradakṣiṇaṁ prakramanti"
Translation :
1.1 million yojanas beyond that one are situated all the great sages who verily always think of the good fortune of the inhabitants of all the worlds; leaving it to the right do they circumambulate the transcendental abode of the Supreme Lord Vishnu [the center of the stars]
🌠🌏🌠
At first glance, the cosmology of the Srimad-Bhagavatam might seem like a wild fantasy. Here are four ways to make sense of it all.
The inquisitive human mind naturally yearns to understand the universe and man’s place within it. Today scientists rely on powerful telescopes and sophisticated computers to formulate cosmological theories. In former times, people got their information from traditional books of wisdom.
Followers of the Vedic culture, for example, learned about the cosmos from scriptures like the Srimad-Bhagavatam, or Bhagavata Purana.
But the Bhagavatam’s descriptions of the universe often baffle modern students of Vedic literature. Here Bhaktivedanta Institute scientist Dr. Richard Thompson suggests a framework for understanding the Bhagavatam’s descriptions that squares with our experience and modern discoveries.
💥🔥💥
The Srimad-Bhagavatam presents an earth-centered conception of the cosmos. At first glance the cosmology seems foreign, but a closer look reveals that not only does the cosmology of the Bhagavatam describe the world of our experience, but it also presents a much larger and more complete cosmological picture. I’ll explain.

The Britishers took away the control of India from the Marathas and not from the Mughals
The Britishers took away the control of India from the Marathas and not from the Mughals
Courtsy :Pulkit Mishra- @pulkitmishra007
Can you name the war that the Mughals fought against the British? You cannot because there was none.
When Robert Clive defeated the Nawab of Bengal in the Battle of Plassey to put the foundation stone of the British Empire,
the Mughal Emperor Alamgir II, was a 58 year old puppet, put to the throne by the Mighty Marathas and kingmaker Imad-ul-Mulk.
Yes, Marathas and not Mughals were the dominant power, when the British entered India.
In fact, Marathas ruled over an Empire larger than that of Akbar, dominating India for over 75 years.
Martial Arts and Zen buddhism were founded in China by an Indian
Courtsy :Pulkit Mishra- @pulkitmishra007
Bodhidharma, a Pallava prince from Kanchipuram in Southern India went on to become the first patriarch of the Chan Buddhism in China.
We have bad slavery blood, hence tend to believe more in non-Indians. Here is the proof

Best Devanagari Typefaces
Find few beautiful fonts among the slim pickings of this Brahmi based gorgeous script

Anatomy of the Devanagari Font
If one script were to represent the great Indian intellectual tradition, it would without doubt be the Devanagari Script (Devanāgarī or देवनागरी). Used for over 120 languages including the major ones such as Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Nepali among others this is a very beautiful script. Even though it’s the native script for more than 500 million people, selection for typefaces are pretty bad. However, recent explosion of mobile usage across the globe might help curb these issues.
Here, I present to you a list of high quality Devanagari typefaces which I think are worth of use and praise. Hopefully, this encourages people to make many more.

राघवयादवीयम्
" दक्षिण का एक ग्रन्थ "
क्या ऐसा संभव है कि जब आप किताब को सीधा पढ़े तो रामायण की कथा पढ़ी जाए और जब उसी किताब में लिखे शब्दों को उल्टा करके पढ़े
तो कृष्ण भागवत की कथा सुनाई दे।
जी हां, कांचीपुरम के 17वीं शदी के कवि वेंकटाध्वरि रचित ग्रन्थ "राघवयादवीयम्" ऐसा ही एक अद्भुत ग्रन्थ है।
इस ग्रन्थ को
‘अनुलोम-विलोम काव्य’ भी कहा जाता है। पूरे ग्रन्थ में केवल 30 श्लोक हैं। इन श्लोकों को सीधे-सीधे
पढ़ते जाएँ, तो रामकथा बनती है और
विपरीत (उल्टा) क्रम में पढ़ने पर कृष्णकथा। इस प्रकार हैं तो केवल 30 श्लोक, लेकिन कृष्णकथा के भी 30 श्लोक जोड़ लिए जाएँ तो बनते हैं 60 श्लोक।
पुस्तक के नाम से भी यह प्रदर्शित होता है, राघव (राम) + यादव (कृष्ण) के चरित को बताने वाली गाथा है ~ "राघवयादवीयम।"
उदाहरण के तौर पर पुस्तक का पहला श्लोक हैः
वंदेऽहं देवं तं श्रीतं रन्तारं कालं भासा यः ।
रामो रामाधीराप्यागो लीलामारायोध्ये वासे ॥ १॥
अर्थातः
मैं उन भगवान श्रीराम के चरणों में प्रणाम करता हूं, जो
जिनके ह्रदय में सीताजी रहती है तथा जिन्होंने अपनी पत्नी सीता के लिए सहयाद्री की पहाड़ियों से होते हुए लंका जाकर रावण का वध किया तथा वनवास पूरा कर अयोध्या वापिस लौटे।
विलोमम्:
सेवाध्येयो रामालाली गोप्याराधी भारामोराः ।
यस्साभालंकारं तारं तं श्रीतं वन्देऽहं देवम् ॥ १॥
अर्थातः
मैं रूक्मिणी तथा गोपियों के पूज्य भगवान श्रीकृष्ण के
चरणों में प्रणाम करता हूं, जो सदा ही मां लक्ष्मी के साथ
विराजमान है तथा जिनकी शोभा समस्त जवाहरातों की शोभा हर लेती है।
" राघवयादवीयम" के ये 60 संस्कृत श्लोक इस प्रकार हैं:-
राघवयादवीयम् रामस्तोत्राणि

Nirvāṇa Ṣaṭkam
Verse 1
The first verse negates the antaḥ-karaṇas, jñānendriyas, and pañcabhūtas. The four antaḥ-karaṇas (‘inner causes’) are: ahaṅkāra (ego, I-ness), buddhi (intellect), manas (mind, thought), and citta (memory, conscience). The five jñānendriyas (sense organs) are eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. The pañcabhūtas (five elements) are space, earth, fire, air, and water.मनोबुद्ध्यहङ्कारचित्तानि नाहं
न च श्रोत्रजिह्वे न च घ्राणनेत्रे ।
न च व्योमभूमिर्न तेजो न वायु-
श्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ।१।
I am not mind, intellect, ego, or memory
Ears, tongue, nose, eyes – these I am not
Not space, earth, fire, nor air am I
I am consciousness, bliss, purity alone!
Verse 2
In this verse, the poet negates other material identifications with the Self. The prāṇa (life-force, vital breath), the pañcavāyus, the saptadhātus, the pañcakośas, and karmendriyas are shown as separate from the true Self. The pañcavāyus (five breaths) are: prāṇa (digestive breath or in-breath), apāna (the excretory breath or the out-breath), udāna (upward breath that creates sound), samāna (all-pervading breath that balances all the breaths), and vyāna (diffused breath that maintains the shape of the body). The saptadhātus (seven building blocks of the body) are: rasa (plasma), rakta (blood), māṃsa (muscle), medas (fat), asthi (bone), majjā (marrow), and śukra (semen) / śoṇita (egg, ovum). The pañcakośas (five realms or layers of the body-mind) are: annamayakośa (realm of matter), prāṇamayakośa (realm of vitality), manomayakośa (realm of mind), vijñānamayakośa (realm of wisdom), and ānandamayakośa (realm of bliss). The five karmendriyas (organs of action) are mouth, hands, feet, genitals, and anus.न च प्राणसंज्ञो न वै पञ्चवायुः
न वा सप्तधातुर्न वा पञ्चकोशः ।
न वाक्पाणिपादौ न चोपस्थपायू
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ।२।
I am not prāṇa nor do I run the body
I am not the seven building block nor the five layers
Neither speech nor limbs nor genitals am I
I am consciousness, bliss, purity alone
Verse 3
In this verse, the poet moves from the material aspects to the intellectual and emotional aspects. The ari-ṣaḍ-varga and the four puruṣārthas are shown to be different from the Self. The ari-ṣaḍ-varga (the group of six enemies) are: kāma (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (delusion), mada (arrogance), and mātsarya (jealousy). In this verse, the poet uses dveṣa (hatred) instead of krodha and uses rāga (passion, desire) instead of kāma. The four puruṣārthas (goals of human life) are: dharma (sustainability principle, universal law), artha (wealth, means to fulfil desires), kāma (desire), and mokṣa (liberation, lasting bliss).न मे द्वेषरागौ न मे लोभमोहौ
मदो नैव मे नैव मात्सर्यभावः ।
न धर्मो न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्ष-
श्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ।३।
I have no hatred nor passion, greed nor delusion
Neither arrogance nor jealousy have I
I seek not dharma, wealth, desire, nor release
I am consciousness, bliss, purity alone
Verse 4
This is perhaps the finest of the six verses where the poet gives us a beautiful view into the Advaita tattva – the essence of non-duality. The verse begins by saying that the Self is neither puṇya nor pāpa. The word puṇya has no exact equivalent in English; it is the opposite of pāpa (sin). Then the poet goes on to say, “I am not the food. I am not the edible. I am not the eater.” This basically means: “I am not the experience-giver. I am not the experience. I am not the one who experiences.” The purging of these distinctions leads one to pure bliss.न पुण्यं न पापं न सौख्यं न दुःखं
न मन्त्रो न तीर्थं न वेदा न यज्ञाः ।
अहं भोजनं नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ।४।
I am free of merit or sin, joy or sorrow
I have no mantras to recite, no pilgrimage to make
no scriptures to read, or rituals to perform
I am neither the food nor the edible nor the eater
I am consciousness, bliss, purity alone
Verse 5
Humans are social animals but when it comes to liberation, there cannot be a group package. Each individual has to realize the truths for himself or herself. This verse deals with those aspects of an individual’s life that binds him or her to the society and the world.न मे मृत्युशङ्का न मे जातिभेदः
पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्म ।
न बन्धुर्न मित्रं गुरुर्नैव शिष्य-
श्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ।५।
I have no doubt of death, no distinctions of caste
I have neither father nor mother; I was never born!
Relatives, friends, teachers, students I have none
I am consciousness, bliss, purity alone
Verse 6
The poet has slowly moved from the material plane to the emotional and intellectual plane to the societal one. The final verse is a fitting crescendo to the poem, culminating into a nameless name and a formless form. When ignorance is finally exhausted and all other possibilities are eliminated what remains is the true Self.अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकाररूपो
विभुत्वाच्च सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणाम् ।
न चासङ्गतं नैव मुक्तिर्न बन्ध-
श्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ।६।
I am free from thoughts
Formless is my only form
I am the force behind all sense organs
Neither attached to anything
nor free from everything,
all-inclusive I am
I am consciousness, bliss, purity alone
