In commercial settings like restaurants, it's common practice not
to discard oil after a single use. Unfortunately, with deep
frying, failure to regularly change the oil can lead to the
generation of trans fats through repeated reheating, potentially
causing inflammation in the body as per health
experts.Unhealthy oils can adversely affect mainly heightening
the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.
Repeated heating of oil also leads to the accumulation of visible and invisible granules, altering the oil's
composition and introducing neo-formed compounds (NFCs) over time. This process diminishes the oil's
nutritional quality.FSSAI lacks regulations or definitions for reused cooking oils, often leading food safety
officials to rely on visual cues such as color or appearance. Therefore it's imperative for FSSAI to frame
regulations for reused cooking oils.

As most part of the country braces for a scorching summer, the
India Meteorological Department (IMD) warns of above-normal
temperatures and looming heatwaves in coming months. It's
crucial for state governments to heed these warnings, prepare
for heatwaves, and address long-term climate change impacts.
Sustainable solutions like improved water management and
increased green cover are essential. Additionally, awareness
about heatwave preparedness and access to cooling shelters
must be prioritised, especially for vulnerable populations.
Beyond discomfort, heatwaves pose significant risks to public health, agriculture, and the economy,
exacerbating existing health conditions and straining healthcare systems. To tackle these challenges,
proactive climate adaptation and mitigation measures are essential, including investment in sustainable
infrastructure and renewable energy sources.

The entire life of Mahavira is a living inspiration for the rise of self and others. He has illuminated millions
and millions of people with his aura of positivity. Therefore becoming a Mahavir is a symbol of the meaning
of life. To become a Mahavir means to lead a healthy life, to develop immunity, to illuminate the soul and
become a person who is self-reliant. Every year we celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir, but this
year the birth anniversary has to be purposeful, not mere planning. For this, every person should do
spiritual practice to look within himself, Mahavir is not only worshiped, but should be imbibed in life. It is
necessary that we inculcate the teachings given by Mahavira in our life and practice.
Every person prepares to become a Mahavir, then only one can get rid of problems. Mahavir can only
become a person who is completely devoted to the goal, whose lifestyle is restrained and disciplined, who
has the capacity to bear the sufferings. One who can maintain equanimity, restraint and balance even in
adverse circumstances, who is ready to practice silence and heat the body. In whose mind there is a feeling
of coexistence towards the whole being. One who not only knows how to change his destiny through effort,
but also wishes for a bright future for the entire humanity.
Mahavir was born centuries ago, but his life and teachings are more effective and relevant in today's time of
crisis and many diseases. Mahavir is a wave of health-evolution, a smokeless crest of healthy life-light.
There is an unnamed river of courage and restraint. There was a hint of eternity in his dialogues. His
lifestyle was so dominant that he would have been bound by a once-living. There was such a brilliance in
his eyes that the one who saw him once could not forget. There was such an invitation in his call for a
healthy life that it could not be ignored. His guidance was so perfect that the one who found him could
never go astray. His presence was so inspiring that one would get transformed. He said 'appana
sacchameseja' - find the truth yourself. He did not make anyone run with the help of crutches. If you have
the ability to walk on your feet, then you can walk whenever you want and reach wherever you want. He
not only illuminated the way, but also created the inner light. These are all the reasons that remind us of
Mahavira.
Mahavira believed in a healthy life. They lived on their own. He also taught others to live in himself. They
were healthy. No disease could touch him. He gave many sources of health. One of them was the formula –
Kayotsarga. Kayotsarga means purification of the body, maintenance of the body, purity and restraint
towards the body. Kayotsarga is also the starting point of sadhana and it is also the final point. This is the
first understanding of health and the final conclusion. It is the shield for emergency situations involving the
body. It is the use of stress-immersion and is free from all sorrows.
Mahavira's sadhana period lasted twelve and a half years. In it he repeatedly used kayotsarga. The wearer
of protective armor or bulletproof jacket does not have the fear of being shot, similarly after going into deep
Kayotsarga, the effect of adverse conditions of major diseases and deadly and life-threatening attacks is
attenuated. Like Mahavira, one who practices Kayotsarga becomes healthy-hearted, becomes light and can
lead a happy life by being absorbed in expansive meditation.

The person who wants to get rid of various kinds of diseases, wants to become healthy and has to take
medicine in the form of Kayotsarga. Mahavira had the science of medicine whose constituent elements are
not mentioned in medical science, he gave such an unfading system of health, which is as easy as it is
difficult. Kayotsarga is a type of penance. In which physical restlessness and anger etc. have to be
immersed. The focus has to be on the breath. Is the mind fickle or the restlessness of the mind is the mind.
On the basis of this concept, it seems difficult to stop the restlessness of the mind.
In the practice of Kayotsarga, words like relaxation, shavasana or relaxation for the body are used.
Kayotsarga is such a door, from where one can get a glimpse of the soul, a feeling of existence apart from
the gross body. In Kayotsarga, the body and mind get complete relaxation. There are many misconceptions
about Jainism in the public. Jainism is a religion that hurts the body. Mahavira talks of giving rest to the
body. How can the principle of suffering be valid in such a situation? Any austerity or penance does not
mean to cause pain to the body, but to cultivate the body. The mind cannot be controlled without the body.
Therefore, through yogic processes, a way has been made to cultivate the body. Kayotsarga has a special
significance in the field of spirituality. Its usefulness in medical science is also undeniable. Kayotsarga also
plays a big role in various investigations done by the modern equipment of medical science. In every medical
examination, it is advised to leave the body a little loose and slow down the breathing, it is said to leave the
mouth loose even during the extraction of teeth. In case of high blood pressure, it can be balanced by
kayotsarga. Unbalanced lifestyle and stress are the major problems of this time. Small and big, rich and
poor, everyone is surrounded by this tension. This is a problem for which doctors do not even have a cure.
Kayotsarga can be a permanent solution to the problem of stress and fear. If Kayotsarga is done regularly,
then there will be no leave for tension and fear to arise. Through Kayotsarga, both body and mind can be
kept healthy. Kayotsarga is a mantra for self-meditation, in the same way, health is also a mantra for
spiritual practice.
In modern life, the practice of silence, mantra cultivation and restraint is very useful. Silence gives rest,
happiness comes. But the glory of silence that is accompanied by Kayotsarga is different. Be it silence,
meditation, fasting or any other restraint ritual, all have a useful place in getting rid of diseases. Those who
want physical, mental and spiritual health, want to avoid epidemics and diseases, they should use this great
mantra Kayotsarga of Mahavira. Kayotsarga is medicine and highway to health. Anyone following this can
lead a healthy life.
Lord Mahavira is truly a shining beam of light and the founder of universal religion. He is the savior of the
human mind of this creation. Mahavir had given maximum emphasis on fasting, restraint and character.
Mahavir's entire life is the culmination of austerity and meditation, so he is self-motivated. The teachings of
the Lord are life-giving in which the solution of life's problems is contained. Lord Mahavira is Chinmaya
Deepak (a lamp that has the never lasting illumination light) The lamp removes the darkness, but the
usefulness of the Chinmaya lamp to defeat the darkness of ignorance is undeniable. In fact, Mahavira's
discourses and teachings are millions of beams of light. In order to be flooded with the rays of knowledge, it
is necessary to immerse in them, only then we will be able to move towards a healthy life.

Have you ever witnessed a celebration that dances with the stars and embraces the awakening earth? In the
heart of ancient Mithila, nestled amidst whispers of forgotten empires, a vibrant festival called Jude Sheetal
bursts forth with the arrival of spring. Imagine a land awakening from winter's slumber. Lush greenery
unfurls like a vibrant tapestry, and the celestial ballet above aligns with a momentous occasion – the sun's
grand entrance into the fiery realm of Aries. This is Mesh Sankranti, a sacred time honored by Jude Sheetal.
This festival isn't just a party; it's a profound reverence for the cosmic dance and nature's refreshing
embrace. Rooted in the wisdom of ancient Vedic traditions, Jude Sheetal offers a glimpse into a bygone era
where humanity lived in harmony with the heavens.
Jude Sheetal, the Maithili New Year, isn't about dropping a ball at midnight. It's about witnessing a celestial
spectacle that's been observed for millennia! From the lush greenery of Tamil Nadu's valleys to the
expansive vistas of Assam, Bengal, Kerala, Manipur, Orissa, Punjab, and Tripura, communities stand tall in
reverence, proudly safeguarding this ancient rite, a shimmering testament to the timeless elegance of the
Vedic calendar system. This isn't just another New Year. It's a vibrant tapestry woven from ancient
traditions. Jude Sheetal follows the Vedic calendar system, a fascinating testament to how our ancestors
connected with the cosmos. Typically falling around April 14th (with festivities starting on the 15th), it
marks the first day of Chaitra, the first month of the Maithili year.
Enshrouded in the misty veils of antiquity, the precise origins of Jude Sheetal remain an enigmatic whisper,
a tantalizing mystery that beckons the curious to unravel its secrets. Yet, like a guiding star in the celestial
tapestry, its profound connection to the Vedic calendar and the celestial movements offers tantalizing
glimpses into a rich historical tapestry woven with threads of celestial reverence and cosmic harmony. As
one delves into the annals of ancient wisdom, the revered Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical text dating
back to the 4th-5th century CE, emerges as a beacon, shedding light on the sacred Mesh Sankranti – a
celestial alignment that resonates deeply with the essence of Jude Sheetal. This revelation whispers of a
legacy that may have existed for centuries, its roots intertwined with the very fabric of cosmic observation,
potentially predating even this venerable text.
Like a sacred riddle etched into the cosmic canvas, Jude Sheetal beckons the inquisitive and the reverent
alike, inviting them to unravel its mysteries and bask in the radiance of a tradition that has transcended the
boundaries of time itself. With each whisper of its antiquity, a palpable sense of awe ripples through the air,
drawing the masses like moths to a flame, each soul yearning to bear witness to a celebration that has
withstood the relentless march of ages. As the celestial spheres align, a collective reverence echoes across
the land, inviting all who gather to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of a tradition that has woven
itself into the very fabric of existence. For in this sacred moment, the veil between the earthly and the divine
grows thin, allowing the echoes of ancient wisdom to reverberate through the souls of those who seek to
unravel the enigmatic origins of Jude Sheetal. They meticulously tracked the movement of celestial bodies,
using them as a cosmic calendar to predict seasons and guide their agricultural practices. Jude Sheetal
beautifully embodies this wisdom.
Unveiling the Cosmic Symphony of Mithila's Spring Celebration
Jude Sheetal: By Vasini Jha

Our ancestors were the original stargazers, meticulously tracking the movements of celestial bodies. As the
sun gracefully waltzes into a new constellation, Jude Sheetal erupts across India. It's a time to plant seeds of
hope, celebrate new beginnings, and honor the eternal cycle of nature's renewal. Delving into the sacred
verses of the Shiva Purana, one of Hinduism's esteemed eighteen Puranas, we uncover the roots of the Jude
Sheetal tradition, woven intricately into the vibrant fabric of Mithila's culture. According to this revered
scripture, the festival serves as a conduit to soothe the fiery aspect of Lord Shiva, known as Rudra, amidst
the scorching month of Chaitra (March-April). Through elaborate rituals and devout austerities, devotees
endeavor to quench the Lord's wrathful heat, believed to materialize as the oppressive summer
temperatures enveloping the region. These delectable treats begin as a humble homage to Lord Shiva and
the divine feminine, then find their way to the tables of families and the hearts of loved ones. Sharing these
sacred flavors not only fosters stronger bonds of kinship and community but also echoes the essence of
generosity and hospitality ingrained in the very fabric of Mithila culture.
As twilight paints the sky on Sheetal Navami, the air becomes a canvas for the enchanting melodies of
traditional folk tunes and dances. Women, adorned in their most exquisite attire, radiate in shades of
crimson and gold as they gracefully engage in the mesmerizing Jhumar and Rikhia dances. Their movements
exude the jubilant spirit of the occasion, intertwining ancient traditions with contemporary vibrancy. The
rhythmic pulse of the dholak and the soulful notes of the bansuri weave a captivating symphony,
transporting all who witness to a timeless realm where past and present seamlessly merge. As the night
deepens, fragrant incense wafts through the air, mingling with the reverent chants of sacred mantras.
Families gather around the revered tulsi plant, seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and harmony in the
forthcoming year. One of the most remarkable facets of Jude Sheetal is its ability to transcend religious
boundaries. While firmly rooted in ancient Hindu scriptures like the Shiva Purana, this lively celebration
embraces Mithila's diverse cultural heritage, weaving together strands of reverence for nature, communal
joy, and the anticipation of a prosperous year ahead.
The rituals and customs of Jude Sheetal resonate with tradition yet remain vibrant and adaptable to modern
times, preserving their ancient essence. Among these cherished practices is the chanting of sacred verses,
like the poetic invocation "Mesha Raasi Gate Suraj, Nava Varsha Bhaeya Aaj" (The sun enters the
constellation of Aries, marking the dawn of the new year), echoing through households and acknowledging
the celestial shift heralding Mesh Sankranti's arrival.
In vibrant strokes, the drawings beckon blessings for prosperity and safeguarding, portraying the beautiful
blend of nature and spirituality within Mithila's cultural fabric. As the day unfolds, Jude Sheetal's rituals
brim with a sense of rejuvenation and purification. Before the day's heat peaks, families indulge in a
revitalizing bath (Snan) infused with herbs like neem, tulsi, and mango leaves. This ritual purifies body,
mind, and soul, gearing one up for the new year with a fresh surge of energy and purpose. Culinary
traditions take center stage during Jude Sheetal, as the traditional chulha takes a well-deserved break on
festival day. This leads to the meticulous preparation of special dishes like the renowned Kadhi-Badi or Badi
bhaat—a culinary delight cherished in the Bihar and Mithila regions.

Jude Sheetal's essence transcends mere festivities; it's a testament to the resilient spirit of the Mithila
people, who have gracefully navigated nature's challenges for centuries. The day is a heartfelt expression of
gratitude to the divine forces overseeing the harvest, while also offering prayers for abundant rain and a
fruitful crop in the year ahead. As this age-old festival persists in being cherished with passion and respect
throughout the Mithila region, it stands as a poignant emblem of the vibrant cultural mosaic that unites the
Indian diaspora, traversing borders and safeguarding the timeless insights of our forebears. Jude Sheetal
resonates as a testament to the enduring strength of tradition, the resilience woven into communities, and
the deep, intrinsic bond shared between humanity and the wonders of the natural realm.
In conclusion, Jude Sheetal emerges as more than just a festival; it embodies a living testament to the
profound interconnectedness of humanity with nature and tradition. As we gather in celebration, let us not
only honor the richness of our cultural heritage but also embrace the unity it fosters across diverse
communities. With each joyous moment and shared tradition, we weave tighter the tapestry of our
collective history, ensuring that the wisdom of our ancestors continues to illuminate our path forward. Let
us carry forth the spirit of Jude Sheetal, fostering resilience, fostering unity, and nurturing the timeless bond
between humankind and the natural world.

Amidst the boundless reaches of the cosmos, a majestic symphony unfolds, guided by the cosmic wisdom
that saturates every atom of existence. This ethereal harmony transcends the limits of the material world,
beckoning us on a profound journey through both the universe's expanses and the depths of our own souls.
Enter the ancient Vedic tradition, a mesmerizing lens through which we may behold this cosmic masterpiece.
Here, astronomy, spirituality, and self-discovery intertwine, painting a rich tapestry of cosmic wonder. From
the intricate dance of celestial bodies to the timeless hymns and verses honoring the divine, the Vedic sages
unveil a universe that pulses with sacred life, far beyond mere physicality.
Divine Cosmic Odyssey: In the vast gallery of cosmic wisdom, Vedic teachings brush the universe with
vibrant hues, revealing not a cold, indifferent expanse, but a magnificent tapestry woven by divine hands.
Central to this masterpiece stands Vishnu, the pinnacle of consciousness, donning various forms. Picture the
grand opening act: Maha Vishnu, the architect of creation, igniting the cosmic dance. From Maha Vishnu
springs forth Garbhodakshayi Vishnu, guardian of the spiritual realm, and Kshirodakshayi Vishnu, custodian
of the material cosmos. These aren't mere characters in a mythic tale but living symbols of the cosmic
energies that sculpt and sustain existence. In the timeless verses of the Rig Veda, these celestial beings are
lauded with utmost reverence. Among them shines Karnodakshayi Vishnu, the very essence of Vishnu woven
into the fabric of our material world. Step into this wondrous narrative where galaxies twirl and stars hum
melodies of creation. It's a journey not just of the mind, but of the soul, beckoning all seekers to marvel at
the divine choreography that pulses through every atom of existence. Hey, Karnodakshayi Vishnu, you're
the timeless observer, the guardian of all realms. Let your divine grace illuminate our path, leading us
through the mesmerizing rhythm of cosmic creation and dissolution. (Rig Veda 10.90.13) These hymns gently
nudge us to see beyond the mere fabric of the universe; they whisper of a cosmos steeped in spiritual
essence, where gods dance amidst the rhythms of nature and the symphony of cosmic harmony. Join us in
this wondrous journey, where the mundane meets the divine, and the ordinary is infused with the
extraordinary.
Shiva's Cosmic Symphony: Ever wondered how the cosmos came into being? The Vedas have a captivating
tale that merges the realms of science and spirituality. Picture this: a cosmic dance orchestrated by Shiva,
the eternal deity. In ancient Hindu scriptures, this dance, known as the Ananda Tandava, symbolizes the
perpetual cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. Shiva, in his timeless form as Sadashiva,
kickstarts this cosmic spectacle, setting the universe in motion with his rhythmic movements. It's like a
grand cosmic symphony, where birth, life, and dissolution intertwine endlessly. This mesmerizing allegory
isn't just confined to texts; it resonates deeply in the sacred hymns like the Shiva Mahimna Stotram. It's a
celebration, a profound ode to the divine essence of Shiva, inviting us to delve into the mystical depths of
existence.
"Sarvam-khalvidam-Brahma-nityam-anantam-advayam,
Anadi-nidhanam-Shantam-niravadyam-niranjanam."
These lines beckon us to ponder: the universe's birth isn't a mere one-time affair, but a timeless waltz of
making and unmaking, choreographed by cosmic powers far beyond our grasp.
Vedic Insights Illuminate the Cosmic Journey of Life and Beyond
From Stardust to Soul: By Vasini Jha
(She/Her)

Vasini Jha
Cosmic Self-Discovery Unveiled: Vedic insights soar beyond the boundless cosmos, recognizing its
magnificent grandeur while revealing a sacred truth: the ultimate cosmic voyage commences from within.
Guided by the venerable sages of yore, the Upanishads beckon us to delve into introspection, unveiling the
celestial essence that kindles the flame of our existence.
The depths of wisdom found within the Chandogya Upanishad, where a verse cherished by many, echoes
through time:
"Tat tvam asi" (Thou art That)
Here's a timeless chant that beautifully whispers the truth: We're not isolated beings, but rather, exquisite
threads intricately woven into the grand design of the divine. Let's embrace this cosmic connection and
dance within the tapestry of existence.
Step into the mystical world of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, where ancient wisdom flows like a timeless
river. Among its treasures, behold a renowned shloka, a beacon from the depths of antiquity, nestled within
the sacred texts of the Shukla Yajurveda.
"Aham-Brahmasmi" (I am Brahman)
It's not just any phrase; it's a gem nestled in the Madhu Khanda of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, right
there in verse 1.4.10. Embracing this sacred phrase isn't just about chanting; it's about recognizing ourselves
as threads in the cosmic fabric. Dive into this cosmic wisdom, and you'll uncover a profound understanding
of our interconnectedness with the divine. It's like finding your place in the grand mosaic of existence!
Divine Cosmic Choreography: The enchanting world of the Vedic tradition, where celestial hymns and
mesmerizing shlokas weave tales of cosmic marvels and the divine wisdom that orchestrates the cosmos.
Amidst this treasure trove, nestled within the Bhagavad Gita, lies a profound gem—a shloka that beckons us
to ponder the eternal dance of existence.
"Sahasra-yuga-paryantam-ahaḥ-kalpamasya-kalpate,
Aham-atma-Gudakesha-sarva-bhūtāstha-dhātmanām"
In the cosmic dance of time, a day in the life of Brahma stretches to a grand thousand yugas, matched by a
night of equal length. At the break of his day, the vast multitude of beings emerges into existence, only to
dissolve back into the cosmic fabric as his night descends. It's a majestic rhythm, a breathtaking spectacle
where life's tapestry is woven in the dawn and unraveled in the dusk of the divine.
It's like a cosmic wake-up call! It nudges us to see beyond the surface and recognize that the universe isn't
just sitting still; it's in a constant dance of evolution, guided by cosmic rhythms that go way beyond our
little clocks. And you know what's even more mind-blowing? The Vedas dive deep into this stuff, giving us a
peek into the very essence of reality itself, what they call Brahman. Here's a gem from the Kathopanishad
that sums it up beautifully: [insert shloka]. Let's journey into the depths of understanding together!
(She/Her)

Vasini Jha
"Anādi-anantam-mahataḥ-param-nir-vikalpam-nirākāram-ekam
Nir-guṇam-tam-evam-vidtivā'ti-mṛtyum-eti-nānyaḥ-panthā-vidyate'ayanāya"
The supreme Brahman transcends time's grasp, beyond the vast, beyond the unseen, beyond shape and
formlessness, beyond attributes, the timeless verity. Embrace this, and transcend the confines of mortality.
No path compares. In the enchanting dance of words, we're gently reminded that our journey through the
cosmos isn't just about traversing space—it's a soulful odyssey, a quest to decipher the enigmas of our
existence and the threads that bind us to the divine.
Cosmic Epiphanies Unveiled: The vast expanse of Vedic texts bursts with enthralling narratives, revealing
the enigmatic mysteries of the cosmos. Picture the mesmerizing cosmic ballet of Shiva, known as the Ananda
Tandava, a vivid symbol of both genesis and dissolution. Another jewel nestled within the Brihadaranyaka
Upanishad is a profound allegory that delves into the very essence of the universe's inception. It eloquently
articulates:
"Sā-ekākī-na-ramate-kena-cit | Tasmād-ekākī-na-ramate-dvitīyam-puṣpam-na-praṇudati |
Sā-ekākī-na-ramate-kena-cit | Tasmād-ekākī-na-ramate-tṛtīyam-puṣpam-na-praṇudati ||"
In the dawn of time, there existed solely the One, the eternal essence known as Brahman. Yet, in its solitude,
there was no joy. And thus, it wove forth a second, birthing a world into existence, a canvas upon which to
paint its delight. This captivating tale beckons us to ponder the essence of our being and the cosmic
choreography of creation. It whispers of a universe beyond mere matter, where every atom dances in
reverence to the divine spark within. For in every sunrise, in every quivering leaf, we witness the yearning
of the cosmic soul to unfurl its boundless creativity.
Unveiling Cosmic Synergy: The Vedic tradition honors the synergy between science and observation in
comprehending the physical realm. Yet, it humbly acknowledges their boundaries in elucidating the vast
tapestry of existence. Renowned physicist Jagadish Chandra Bose articulated this sentiment, affirming that
the universe transcends mere mechanistic explanations, pulsating with life and guided by an intelligence
beyond our grasp. In this intricate dance of understanding, science unveils the universe's mysteries, while
spirituality unveils our profound connection to its narrative. A poignant verse from the Ishopanishad
beautifully captures this synthesis, celebrating the marriage of scientific inquiry and spiritual insight.
"Andham-tamah-pravishanti-ye'vidyam-upasate,
Tato-bhuya-iva-te-tamo-ya-u-vidyayam-ratah."
Embrace ignorance, and you'll wander in the shadows; chase wisdom, and you may find yourself lost in an
even deeper obscurity. This verse beckons us to recognize that real enlightenment isn't found in shunning
knowledge or dismissing science but in weaving these understandings together with the timeless spiritual
wisdom of our ancestors.
Embark on Cosmic Enlightenment: Delve into the mystical realms of Vedic wisdom, where the universe
becomes a canvas for transformation. It's not just about stars and planets; it's an odyssey of the soul.
(She/Her)

Vasini Jha
As we gaze into the cosmic expanse, we uncover the reflections of our own infinite potential and sacred
interconnectedness. Through ancient hymns, cosmic tales, and profound teachings like "Aham-Brahmasmi"
("I am Brahman") and "Tat-tvam-asi" ("That thou art"), we're reminded of our divine essence and our
seamless integration into the cosmic dance. It's a harmony of science and spirituality, where the origin story
of the universe is not just a tale but a living, breathing reality.
Join us in this celestial journey, where science and spirit intertwine, and the mysteries of the cosmos become
pathways to self-realization. In exploring the outer reaches of space, we embark on an inner voyage,
unlocking the secrets of our existence and our place in the grand tapestry of creation.

Good evening everyone...!!!
Today I will be taking you to Udayagiri caves in Bhubaneswar....
Udayagiri Caves, formerly called Kattaka Caves or Cuttack caves, are partly natural and partly artificial
caves of archaeological, historical and religious importance near the city of Bhubaneswar in Odisha, India.
The caves are situated on two adjacent hills, Udayagiri and Khandagiri mentioned as Kumari Parvata in the
Hathigumpha inscription. They have a number of finely and ornately carved caves built during the 1st
century BCE. It is believed that most of these caves were carved out as residential blocks for Jain monks
during the reign of King Kharavela. Udayagiri means "Sunrise Hill" and has 18 caves while Khandagiri has 15
caves. The caves of Udayagiri, called lena or leṇa in the inscriptions, these were taken out mostly during the
reign of Kharavela for the abode of Jain ascetics. The most importance of this group was Ranigumpha in
Udayagiri which is a double storeyed monastery. Other important caves include Hathi Gumpha, Ananta
Gumpha, Ganesha Gumpha, Jaya Vijaya Gumpha, Mancapuri Gumpha, Bagha/Byaghra/Vyaghra Gumpha
and Sarpa Gumpha.
B. M. Barua, based on a reading of line 14 of the Hathi Gumpha inscription, declared that a total of 117 caves
were excavated by Kharavela and others on the Kumari hill (Udayagiri). Marshall has counted more than 35
caves in both the hills, while M.M. Ganguli has enumerated only 27 caves. The carvings in Ganesha Gupha
narrate the story of the elopement of Bassavadatta, Princess of Ujjayini, with King Udayana of Kausambi in
the company of Vasantaka. The inscription in jambesvara Gupha tells that it is the cave of Nayaki, wife of
Mahamade. The inscription found in vyaghra Gupha tells that this cave belongs to the city judge Sabhuti.The
Hathigumpha cave ("Elephant Cave") has the Hathigumpha inscription, written by Raja Kharavela, the king
of Kalinga in India, during the 2nd century BCE. The Hathigumpha inscription consists of seventeen lines
incised in deep cut Brahmi letters on the overhanging brow of a natural cavern Hathigumpha in the south
side of the Udayagiri hill. The inscription also refers to the Kharaval's feat of bringing back the status of
Agra-Jina (transl. Rishabhanatha) which was taken by Nanda empire. It faces the rock edicts of Asoka at
Dhauli, situated about six miles away.

And then she jumped.
It was the year 1323 CE.
Srirangam was attacked by the Delhi Sultanate during the Tamil month of Vaikasi. Nearly, 12,000 residents
of Srirangam island had laid down their lives fighting to protect the temple. The forces attacked the temple
and Lord Ranganatha's jewels and the temple gold were taken away. The forces also wanted to seize the
murti of Vishnu. They searched for the murti but the Vaishnavite Acharya, Pillailokacharya had taken the
murti away and fled to Madurai. (The murti of Vishnu, called Namperumal that left Srirangam in 1323
returned back only in 1371).
and Lord Ranganatha's jewels and the temple gold were taken away.

It was the year 1323 CE.:
Unable to locate the murti, the Sultanate forces killed the temple authorities and later launched a massive
hunt for Pillailokacharya and Namperumal. Fearing that the forces would capture the Acharya and the idol,
Vellayi, a temple dancer performed a dance before the commander of the forces thus gaining time for
Pillailokacharya to escape with the image. Her dance lasted for hours together and finally she took the
commander to the eastern gopuram and pushed him down. After killing him, Vellayi jumped to her death
from the tower of the eastern entrance chanting the name of Ranganathar. Hailing Vellayi's sacrifice, the
chief of Vijayanagara forces, Kempanna, who drove away the Sultanate forces, named the tower after her.
The gopuram continues to be painted white in her memory and now called as Vellai Gopuram.
Lest we forget.

The Konark Sun Temple complex has ruins of many subsidiary shrines and monuments
around the main temple. Some of these include:
Mayadevi Temple: Located west- been dated to the late 11th century, earlier than the main temple. It
consists of a sanctuary, a mandapa and, before it, an open platform. It was discovered during excavations
carried out between 1900 and 1910. Early theories assumed that it was dedicated to Surya's wife and thus
named the Mayadevi Temple. However, later studies suggested that it was also a Surya temple, albeit an
older one that was fused into the complex when the monumental temple was built. This temple also has
numerous carvings and a square mandapa is overlain by a sapta-ratha. The sanctum of this Surya temple
features a Nataraja. Other deities in the interior include a damaged Surya holding a lotus, along with Agni,
Varuna, Vishnu, and Vayu.
Vaishnava Temple: Located southwest of the so-called Mayadevi Temple, it was discovered during
excavations in 1956. This discovery was significant because it confirmed that the Konark Sun Temple
complex revered all the major Hindu traditions, and was not an exclusive worship place for the saura cult as
previously believed. This is a small temple with sculptures of Balarama, Varaha, and Vamana–Trivikrama in
its sanctum, marking it as a Vaishnavite temple. These images are shown as wearing dhoti and a lot of
jewelry. The sanctum's primary idol is missing, as are images from some niches in the temple. The site's
significance as a place of Vaishnavism pilgrimage is attested to in Vaishnava texts. For example, Chaitanya,
the early 16th-century scholar and founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, visited the Konark temple and prayed
on its premises.

Kitchen: This monument is found south of the bhoga mandapa (feeding hall).
It, too, was discovered in excavations in the 1950s. It includes means to bring water,
cisterns to store water, drains, a cooking floor, depressions in the floor probably for
pounding spices or grains, as well several triple ovens (chulahs) for cooking. This structure may have been
for festive occasions or a part of a community feeding hall. According to Thomas Donaldson, the kitchen
complex may have been added a little later than the original temple.
Well 1: This monument is located north of the kitchen, towards its eastern flank, was probably built to
supply water to the community kitchen and bhoga mandapa. Near the well are a pillared mandapa and five
structures, some with semi-circular steps whose role is unclear.
Well 2: This monument and associated structures are in the front of the northern staircase of the main
temple, with foot rests, a washing platform, and a wash water drain system. It was probably designed for
the use of pilgrims arriving at the temple.
A collection of fallen sculptures can be viewed at the Konark Archaeological Museum, which is maintained
by the Archaeological Survey of India. The fallen upper portion of the temple is believed to have been
studded with many inscriptions. The temple was in ruins before its restoration. Speculation continues as to
the cause of the destruction of the temple. Early theories stated that the temple was never completed and
collapsed during construction. This is contradicted by textual evidence and evidence from inscriptions. The
Kenduli copper plate inscription of 1384 CE from the reign of Narasimha IV seems to indicate that the temple
was not only completed but was an active site of worship. Another inscription states that various deities in
the temple were consecrated, also suggesting that construction of the temple had been completed. A non-
Hindu textual source, the Akbar-era text Ain-i-Akbari by Abul Fazl dated to the 16th century, mentions the
Konark temple describing it as a prosperous site with a temple that made visitors "astonished at its sight",
with no mention of ruins. 200 years later, during the reign of the Marathas in Odisha in the 18th century, a
Maratha holy man found the temple abandoned and covered in overgrowth. The Marathas relocated the
temple's Aruna stambha (pillar with Aruna the charioteer seated atop it) to the Lion's Gate entrance of the
Jagannath Temple in Puri.
Texts from the 19th century do mention ruins, which means the temple was damaged either intentionally or
through natural causes sometime between 1556 and 1800 CE. After the Sun Temple ceased to attract the
faithful, Konark became deserted, left to disappear in dense forests for years. According to Thomas
Donaldson, evidence suggests that the damage and the temple's ruined condition can be dated to between
the late 16th century and the early 17th century from the records of various surveys and repairs found in
early 17th-century texts. These also record that the temple remained a site of worship in the early 17th
century. These records do not state whether the ruins were being used by devotees to gather and worship, or
part of the damaged temple was still in use for some other purpose.
Aruna Stambha: In the last quarter of the 18th century, the Aruna stambha (Aruna pillar) was removed
from the entrance of Konark temple and placed at the Singha-dwara (Lion's Gate) of the Jagannath temple

in Puri by a Maratha Brahmachari named Goswain (or Goswami). The pillar, made of
monolithic chlorite, is 33 feet 8 inches (10.26 m) tall and is dedicated to Aruna, the
charioteer of the Sun god. A stone wheel is engraved in the walls of the temple. The
temple is designed as a chariot consisting of 24 such wheels. Each wheel has a diameter of 9 feet, 9 inches,
with 8 spokes.

Good evening everyone....
So I continued my exploration of chennai...
Sri Velleeshwaran temple, Mangadu, Chennai: The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and derives its name
from being worshiped here by Sukra (Vellee in Thamizh) - the planet Venus. Lord Sukra is the guru of the
Asuras. Special poojas are hence offered by devotees on Fridays - the day dedicated to Venus. This temple
forms part of the Navagraha temples around Chennai. Devotees offer white field beans (Mochai) as a special
offering signifying the cereal in relation to Sri Sukra. According to the legend, when Goddess Sri Kamakshi
performed tapas here in Mangadu, Lord Shiva came down to earth to give darshan to Her and then marry
Her. It is said that Sri Sukra worshipped Lord Shiva here. When Sri Kamakshi came here to have darshan of
Lord Shiva, she saw Sri Sukra worshiping the Lord. The Goddess went back as She did not want to disturb the
penance of Sukra.
Later, Lord Shiva directed the Goddess to come to Kanchipuram and married her there. As Sri Sukra
worshipped Lord Shiva here, the Lord came to be known as Sri Velleeswarar and also as Sri Bhargaveswarar.
This temple is Sukra Sthalam among the Navagraha Temples of Chennai (or Thondai Mandalam). Sri Sukra
blesses people with wealth, prosperity, good family, vehicles, fame and social status. Also there is another
story stating that once when lord Shiva's where closed by Maa Parvati's hands, the whole world was in
darkness which gave Lord Shiva a little discomfort. Hence, Maa Parvati was asked to do thapas in forest of
mango trees(Mangadu). Maa Parvati does a severe penance through which Lord Shiva gives darshan to
Goddess Parvati. The architecture from which it belongs to can be described that it belonged to the pallava
period which would have been renovated by Cholas, Vijayanagar kings. This temple is not much known to
the outer world. It is almost 1500 - 2000 year old temple.

1236TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF ADI SHANKARACHARYA
1236TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF ADI SHANKARACHARYA
Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti is observed as birth anniversary of Indian Guru and philosopher Adi
Shankara. Adi Shankara was born in Kalady which is situated in Kerala during 788 C.E. and he was
disappeared at young age of 32 in year 820 C.E. Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti is observed on Panchami
Tithi during Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha month and currently falls between April and May.
Shankaracharya consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanata (अद्वैत वेदान्त) and revived it at a time
when Hindu culture was on decline. Adi Shankara, along with Madhava and Ramanuja, was instrumental
in the revival of Hinduism. These three teachers formed the doctrines that are followed by their
respective sects even today. They have been the most important figures in the recent history of Hindu
philosophy.
