The document discusses Tibetan prayer flags and prayer wheels. Prayer flags originated thousands of years ago and were used to appease gods and spirits. They have mantras, sutras, or prayers printed on them in primary colors. The text and designs vary depending on the purpose of the flag. Prayer wheels were invented by a Buddhist master as a way to recite mantras through motion. They have mantras inscribed on them that are recited each time the wheel is turned. Both flags and wheels are used to spread blessings and good fortune through the wind or motion.

Budhism
Buddhism originated in India over 2,500 years ago when Siddhartha Gotama attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. The key teachings of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths about suffering and its causes and cessation, and the Eightfold Path to end suffering. Buddhism spread from India and has divided into three main branches - Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. Buddhism has had a significant influence in many Asian countries through its teachings, monastic communities, and architecture such as pagodas and temples. Modern Buddhism has adapted to different cultures while maintaining the core philosophical beliefs.

Mosque Architecture
This article discusses the changing paradigm of mosque architecture and design over history in relation to social, cultural, economic, and human conditions.

Human body and hindu temple 11
The document compares the structure of the human body to that of a Hindu temple. It discusses how ancient texts like those of Vitruvius first drew comparisons between architecture and the human form in terms of symmetry. Hindu temples in particular were designed to represent the human body, with different structural elements symbolizing parts of the body. However, early temples predated the conception of deities in human form, so the temple structure does not always directly mimic the body. Overall, the temple can be seen as a physical representation of the divine presence, with the human body itself considered a "temple" for the indwelling spirit.

Buddhism has an ancient history and has grown significantly over time:
- 3000 BC saw an estimated global population of 14 million, while the population in 2009 was over 6.7 billion.

Vajrayana
Padmasmbhava, also known as the Guru Rinpoche, brought tantric Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century CE. He combined Indian tantric teachings with the indigenous Bon shamanism of Tibet to create a new form of Vajrayana Buddhism. Vajrayana Buddhism emphasizes ritual, visualization meditation, and the gaining of siddhis or magical powers. It incorporates colorful rituals, chanting of mantras like "Om Mane Padme Hum", and uses of tools like dorjes, bells, and mandalas in elaborate pujas and ceremonies. The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism who teaches from exile in India about bringing wisdom and compassion to the
Human body is a holy temple
The document discusses the symbolism between temple architecture and the human body. It describes how different parts of the temple represent aspects of consciousness and the chakra system. The spire represents the head, the entrance the feet, and the inner sanctum the heart. It views the body as a temple for the indwelling divine spirit. Rituals and the process of moving through the temple guide an inner spiritual worship and evolution towards self-realization.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

chakra yoga - kundalini yoga - awakening
chakra yoga
Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
