First feeds

Hey Readers ,

I was content about the feeds i got on my first blog entry on August 17th.
But i would like to repeat again,my entries are my perspectives. They may be similar to other perspectives or ancient practices.

About my first blog , The ancient Vedic practice of four periods of life is similiar to what i wrote i agree.But,the message or my conclusion was not just to make my interpretation about what i made at Puri,but it was about the way of life.Its about the ideal life.The life GOD lives himself and how our ancestors kept that in practice.We have lost the knowledge our ancestors had,the practices we were put into.Every practice in hindu religion is related to science and there was a reason why we were called "sone ki chidiya" (A bird made of gold).

The above statement was not wealth inclined,but it was made from knowledge we had since ancient times.
I can support this with a very common example from our daily life practices.

We all know about "16 somwaar vrat" which is kept by unmarried women who wish to get their desired Groom.
It started when Parvati[Incarnation of Sati (Adi shakti)] wanted Shiva as her husband but the Lord refused to marry her.Then Lord Vishnu helped Sati and told her that there are 16 types of impurities in a women's body when she is born.Shiva is the prime and infinite.To get Shiva,she has to get rid of all the impurities by doing a fast on 16 mondays.These fast just didnt mean eating less but,it bacame tougher and tougher.This process is of Self-realisation and taking control over senses and hence getting through all Energy Circles or Elements we are made of.

That was little about one of our Hindu traditions.

And yes,i agree i wasnt able to present the idea i had in mind in my previous entry.I will try me best to be more presenting and less convulating.

Abhikarsh.

4 days and Life.

Hey everyone!
Myself Abhikarsh Soni, just another normal guy,part of the race of "Engineering"
Well,it doesnt matter what i am doing and where from..I have a great interest in thinking about our Indian Mythology and relating it with daily sayings,taboos,our psychology and science ofcourse!!

What i'm going to blog here is mostly all about my interpretations and my point of view about Mythology,sometimes supported by facts both from this time and "their" time.

At 12th August 2012, My father came to visit me and had a plan to go to puri.We went there and as in most of the big temples in India,we were haunted and chased by local padints or what we call here in odisha "Pandas".I even thought one was spying on us.. He kept on looking mysteriously..Wtever..

Finally we settled on a Panda who agreed to show us the temple and explain about it too.
Interestingly that day.. I actually interpreted the meaning of Hindi saying "Zindagi sirf 4 din ki hai"

As Panda ji told us,Lord jagganath travels to the four "dhams" and each travel has a different purpose.
In Badrinath,located in Uttarakhand- The lord sleeps
In Dwarkanath located in Gujarat - The lord meditates
In Puri,Odisha-He has food
and In Rameswaram,Tamil Nadu - He travels to the underworld for preserving the world.

Taking that to our everyday life and our life span as 60 years.
The first day that comes out to be almost 15 years is our time to eat.Nurture ourselves,grasp values from our parents.

The second day i.e till 30 years is the time for Medidation.By medidation i mean concentration and focus n our career.It happens during this time of lyf  . . .ryt guys ?
Getting back, This time is supposed to make oneself strong and ft for survival in this world by strong dedication,hard work..Since the meaning of hindi word "Tap" means heat or essential energy in english.
One has to do "tap" in his life for being succesfull

Coming to the third day. till age of 45 years,
This time the lord sleeps.as in  this time for us,is to relax as we had already done our "tap" yeasterday.
So this time is relaxing time,kind of a holiday.Getting married,having kids and watching them grow.
Making sure they pass their "days" as well as you did and the "tap" comes at the right time for them.

The last day of our journey into this Four day world is after 45 years of age.
This time a person slowly decades.Gets old,struck with diseases.
So finally it is our time to meet the earth "dharti maa" and meet Lord there :)


Abhikarsh.
