Who's A Guru?

"Guru is Shiva sans his three eyes, 

Vishnu sans his four arms 

Brahma sans his four heads. 

He is parama Shiva himself in human form"~ Brahmanda Puran

Guru is the God, say the scriptures. Indeed, the 'guru' in Vedic tradition is looked upon as one no less than a God. 'Guru' is a honorific designation of a preceptor as defined and explained variously in the scriptures and ancient literary works including epics. The English word 'guru' has its etymological origin in the Sanskrit term. The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English defines it as "Hindu spiritual teacher or head of religious sect; influential teacher; revered mentor".

More Real Than Gods

Aren't gurus more real than the gods? Basically the guru is a spiritual teacher leading the disciple on the path of "god-realization". In essence, the guru is considered a respected person with saintly qualities who enlightens the mind of his disciple, an educator from whom one receives the initiatory mantra, and one who instructs in rituals and religious ceremonies. The Vishnu Smriti and Manu Smritiregards the Acharya (teacher), along with the mother and the father as the most venerable gurus of an individual. According to Deval Smriti there can be eleven kinds of gurus and according to Nama Chintamani ten. According to his functions he is categorized as rishi, acharyam, upadhya, kulapati or mantravetta.

The Guru's Role

The Upanishads have profoundly underlined the role of the guru. Mundak Upanishad says to realize the supreme godhead holding samidha grass in his hands one should surrender himself before the guru who knows the secrets of Vedas. Kathopanishad too speaks of the guru as the preceptor who alone can guide the disciple on the spiritual path. Over time the guru's syllabus gradually enlarged incorporating more secular and temporal subjects related to human endeavor and intellect. Apart from usual spiritual works his sphere of instruction now included subjects like Dhanurvidya (archery), Arthashastra (economics) and evenNatyashastra (dramatics) and Kamashastra (sexology). Such was the ingenuity of the all pervading intellect of the ancient Acharyas that they perpetuated even shastra like thievery. Shudraka's celebrated play Mricchakatikam tells the story of Acharya Kanakashakti who formulated the Chaurya Shastra, or the science of thievery, which was further developed by the gurus like Brahmanyadeva, Devavrata and Bhaskarnandin.

From Hermitages to Universities

Gradually the institution of Gurukula or in-forest-hermitage, where disciples learnt at the feet of guru for long years was evolved. The great urban universities at Takshashila, Vikramashila and Nalanda essentially evolved from these tinygurukulas tucked away in deep woods. If we have to believe the records of Chinese travellers who visitedNalanda at that time, there were more than 1,500 teachers teaching various subjects to more than 10,000 students and monks.

Legends of Gurus & Desciples

There were gurus as well as disciples of different hues to whom references were made in scriptures and literary works. The most popular legend is that of the amazing young tribal boy Ekalavya on being rejected by the ace trainer Dronacharya, raised his statue and with great dedication practised the art of archery and left behind Arjuna, the master archer, who actually learnt the art under the living guru. And the heartless guru asked for his thumb asgurudakshina or fees, and made him inferior before his royal disciple. In the Chandogya Upanishad, we meet an aspiring disciple Satyakama, who refuses to tell lies about his caste in order to get an admission in the gurukula of Acharya Haridrumat Gautam. And in theMahabharata we come across Karna who did not bat an eyelid while telling Parashurama that he belonged to the Bhrigu Brahmin caste just to obtain the Brahmastra, the supreme weapon.

Lasting Contribution

From generation to generation the institution of the guru has evolved various basic tenets of Indian culture and transmitted spiritual and fundamental knowledge. Gurus formed the axis of ancient educational system and ancient society, and enriched various fields of learning and culture by their creative thinking. Herein lies the lasting significance of gurus and their contribution to the upliftment of mankind.

The Sun is not a Nuclear furnace raging at millions of degrees.It is Electric and Cold!

The nuclear furnace myth of the Sun, which was created to support energy baron profits and control, is exposed by Eric Dollard for the sham it is. This invalidates all tokamak fusion reactors based on the idiotic theory that the sun is a nuke furnace. Meaning, that 48 billion dollars of taxpayer money has been wasted on this fraud called nuclear fusion.

This is how the racket is run folks, TPTB fund all of this worthless quackademic psyence in order to keep you paying for energy, which should be pracitically free in all applications.

Their slave system of backwards explosion based technologies insures them that we keep paying for their fuels, fighting their dirty lying wars and enriching the subhuman filth who profit from these demonic world destroying activities.

The Sun's energy comes from the Creator's still magnetic light Universe and not another dimension. The Magnetic light Universe controls all motions of our Electric Universe which gives form to Atoms, Suns, Galaxies and everything else in Creation. The magnetic Universe is dimensionless, zero temperature and zero curvature. It is the fulcrum from which sex divided electric conditions of male and female spiraling wave forms create the illusion of the 3d Comsic Light Cinema which man calls the Electric Universe, aka "Maya".

The many absurd claims about the Sun's temperature being 30 million degress in the corona and 15 million degrees inside are therefore false. Since there is no heat in space it is impossible for the Corona to be 30 degress, let alone 30 million degrees. The quacks who claims these high temps reason that it is the mythical process called "nuclear fusion", which generates the x-rays which orginate in the Sun. However, your dentists use electrical methods to create x-rays which do not require these insane temps quackademicians dream up to make them appear to know something about the Sun. Nuclear fusion is fraud concocted by the mythematicians of quackademia and does not even exist!

Heat does not travel to the Earth through the immense cold of space, it is created here as the electric wave forms coming from the sun strike matter creating an Actinic effect on Earth, moons and planets of our Solar System, which we call heat and light.

Viktor Scauberger speaks on the true properties of our Sun:  Page 78, "Living Energies" by Callum Coats

And this is perhaps the moment to drop Viktor Schauberger's bombshell! Viktor considered the Sun to be a cold, dark body, expressing this view in the introductory remarks to "Questions for Science" in his book Our Senseless Toil published in 1934, in which he states:

Since the very beginning of time the Sun has stood above everything, staring down in icy silence at the frenzied activities of humankind, who regard it as a fiery orb. How could it be otherwise, such is their direct mental approach towards life! The closer we approach this source of light and heat, the colder and. darker its face will become. The nearer we are to it, the brighter the stars will be and as its light diminishes, heat, atmosphere, water and life will also disappear.....

We shall therefore examine the two claims of darkness and cold more closely. Let us begin with the aspect of darkness, for there is some evidence to support his view that, without any atmosphere, no stars would be visible."

Ayurveda: Ancient wisdom for a healthful life - Dhanvantari God of Ayurveda

“Thousands of years before modern medicine provided scientific evidence for the mind-body connection, the sages of India developed Ayurveda, which continues to be one of the world’s most sophisticated and powerful mind-body health systems. More than a mere system of treating illness, Ayurveda is a science of life (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realizing their full human potential.

The two main guiding principles of Ayurveda are 

1.) the mind and the body are inextricably connected, and 

2.) nothing has more power to heal and transform the body than the mind. Freedom from illness depends upon expanding our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body. This process isn’t as complicated as it may sound. For example, when you meditate you effortlessly enter a state of expanded awareness and inner quiet that refreshes the mind and restores balance. Since the mind and body are inseparable, the body is naturally balanced through the practice of meditation. In the state of restful awareness created through meditation, your heart rate and breath slow, your body decreases the production of “stress” hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, and you increase the production of neurotransmitters that enhance wellbeing, including serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins.

Meditation is just one of the most powerful tools the ancient Ayurvedic physicians prescribed for balancing the mind and body. Ayurveda also offers many other practices for expanding self-awareness and cultivating your innate state of balance. Here are a few of the most important aspects of the Ayurvedic approach and suggestions for applying them to create perfect health in your own life:

* Understand your unique mind-body type and the specific needs that derive from it. 

Ayurveda is a personalized approach to health, and knowing your mind-body type allows you to make optimal choices about diet, exercise, supplements, and all other aspects of your lifestyle. You can learn more about Ayurvedic mind-body types and find out how to identify your own individual type here.

* Eat a colorful, flavorful diet. 

Next to breathing, eating is our most vital bodily function. To create a healthy body and mind our food must be nourishing. Ideal nutrition comes from consuming a variety of fresh foods that are appropriately prepared and eaten with awareness. A simple way to make sure that you are getting a balanced diet is to include the six Ayurvedic tastes (sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and astringent) in each meal. Doing so will ensure that all major food groups and nutrients are represented. When you include all six tastes, you will also notice that you feel satisfied and that the urge to snack and overeat will diminish. You can find more information on the six tastes here.

http://www.chopra.com/community/online-library/tips/the-six-tastes

Along with the six tastes, filling your plate with the colors of the rainbow promotes a long and healthy life. You can literally ingest the information of the universe into your biology. Foods that are deep blue, purple, red, green, or orange are leaders in antioxidants and contain many nutrients that boost immunity and enhance health.

* Get abundant restful sleep.

According to Ayurveda, sleep is the nursemaid to humanity. During sleep, our body repairs and rejuvenates itself. A lack of restful sleep disrupts the body’s innate balance, weakens our immune system, and speeds up the aging process. Human beings generally need between six and eight hours of restful sleep each night. Restful sleep means that you’re not using pharmaceuticals or alcohol to get to sleep but that you’re drifting off easily once you turn off the light and are sleeping soundly through the night. If you feel energetic and vibrant when you wake up, you had a night of restful sleep. If you feel tired and unenthusiastic, you haven’t had restful sleep. You can find a more detailed sleep routine here.

http://www.chopra.com/community/online-library/tips/how-to-get-restful-sleep

* Live in tune with nature.

The phrase “living in tune with nature” has a precise meaning in Ayurveda: having healthy desires that match what you actually need. As nature made you, what you need and what you want shouldn’t be in conflict. When you’re in balance, you naturally desire only that which nurtures your health and life. You flow in harmony with your body’s natural rhythms, getting restful sleep, feeding your senses with experiences, tastes, touch, aromas, sounds, and sights that uplift and nourish you. When you slip out of tune with nature, your desires become non-nurturing and you may crave junk food, neglect to sleep and exercise, and indulge in compulsive behaviors. Overtime, a little imbalance can become a disorder and then a disease, bringing on more stress and neglect.

* Exercise: Tune in to your body

You can make choices that keep you in harmony with your inner intelligence and rhythms by tuning into your body’s messages. The body always expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing a certain path or behavior, ask your body, “How do you feel about this?” If your body sends a signal of physical or emotional distress, pay attention and consider a different choice. If your body sends a signal of comfort and eagerness, you may proceed. Whereas the mind lives in the past and the future, the body resides in the now and never doubts itself. It knows the truth and will guide you towards the most evolutionary choices.

* Strengthen your digestive power.

As Ayurveda teaches, good health is dependent upon our capability to fully metabolize the nutritional, emotional, and sensory information that we ingest. When our digestive energy, known as agni (fire), is robust, we create healthy tissues, eliminate waste products efficiently and produce a subtle essence called ojas. Ojas, which may be envisioned as the source of our vitality, is the basis for clarity of perception, physical strength, and immunity. On the other hand, if our agni is weakened, digestion is incomplete and lead to an accumulation of toxic residue known as ama. The buildup of ama in the body mind leads to obstructions in the flow of energy, information, and nourishment, and is the basis of all disease.

Here are a few Ayurvedic practices to strengthen your digestive fire:

―Always sit down to eat (don’t eat in front of your computer or TV or while you’re driving).

―Eat in a settled atmosphere and not when you’re upset.

―Don’t eat until you’re definitely hungry.

―Dine at a moderate pace. Don’t gulp down your food or eat too slowly.

―Minimize raw foods, which are much harder to digest than cooked ones.

―Include all six tastes at each meal.

―Drink hot water with ginger throughout the day.

―Practice some form of moderate exercise on a regular basis.

―Perform a daily oil massage with herbalized oil that balances your mind-body type. Find instructions for a self-massage here.

―Spend time in the quiet of meditation every day.

―Use detoxifying herbs such as triphala, ashwagandha, guggulu, brahmi, ginger, turmeric and neem.

Take it easy.

The Ayurvedic approach is about aligning with the infinite organizing power of nature rather than struggling or trying to force things to go your way. This principle is embodied by the Law of Least Effort. When you observe nature, you will notice that grass doesn’t try to grow; it just grows. Birds don’t try to fly; they just fly. Flowers don’t try to blossom; they just blossom. Nature functions with effortless ease, frictionlessly and spontaneously. It is intuitive, holistic, non-linear, and nourishing. You will expend least effort when your actions are motivated by love, because nature is held together by the energy of love. When you chase after status, money, power, or accolades, you waste energy, but when your actions are motivated by love, your energy expands and accumulates. So take it easy and be guided by love.”

പൂജ്യത്തിന്‍റെ (Zero) അവകാശി ആര്?

പൂജ്യം കണ്ടുപിടിച്ചത് ഇന്ത്യക്കാര്‍ ആണെന്നതിൽ നാം ഏറെ അഭിമാനിക്കുന്നവരാണ്. എന്നാൽ ആരാണ് പൂജ്യം കണ്ടുപിടിച്ചത് എന്നതിൽ ഇന്നും അവ്യക്തത നിലനില്കുന്നുണ്ടോ...?, 

പൂജ്യത്തിന്റെ അവകാശിയായി നാം പഠിച്ചതും കുട്ടികളെ പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നതും ആര്യഭട്ടന്റെ പേരാണ്.

ആര്യഭട്ടനാണ് എ ഡി 5 ആം നൂറ്റാണ്ടില്‍ തെറ്റു കുടാതെ കൂട്ടുകയും കുറയ്ക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിരുന്ന ആദ്യത്തെ വ്യക്തി എന്നത് എല്ലാവരും അംഗീകരിക്കുന്നത് തന്നെ. അതുകൊണ്ട് മാത്രം പൂജ്യം കണ്ടുപിടിച്ചത് ആര്യഭട്ടനാകുന്നതെങ്ങനെ എന്ന സംശയം ബാക്കി നില്കാൻ കാരണം അഥർവ വേദമാണ്. 

BC 1400 മുതൽ ഉണ്ടെന്നു പറയപെടുന്ന അഥർവ വേദത്തിൽ ശതച്ചമരം എന്ന ക്രിയ പറയുന്നുണ്ട്. നൂറില്‍ നിന്നും കുറയ്ക്കുക എന്നാണ് അതിനര്‍ഥം അതിനു വേണ്ടി നിഖിലം നവ ദസ് കരമ ദശത്: എന്ന സുത്രവക്യമാനു ഉപയോഗിച്ചിരുന്നത്. അതായത് 98 x 97 പോലുള്ള 100 നോട്‌ അടുത്ത് വരുന്ന സംഖ്യകൾ തമ്മിൽ ഗുണിക്കാൻ 100 ൽ നിന്നും 98 നെയും 97 നെയും കുറച്ചു ചരമങ്ങൾ കണ്ടെത്തുകയും (100 - 98 = 2. 100 - 97 = 3) അവ 100 ൽ നിന്നും കുറയ്ക്കുക (100 - 3 - 2 = 95). പിന്നെ ചരമങ്ങൾ ഗുണിച്ചെഴുതുക (2 x 3 = 06) 98 x 97 = 9506. ഇത് BC 1400 മുതലെങ്കിലും അഥർവ വേദത്തിൽ ഉണ്ടെന്നുള്ളത് ആര്യഭട്ടനും സമ്മതിക്കുന്നതുമാണ്. അപ്പോൾ പിന്നെ പൂജ്യം ഇല്ലാതെ അഥർവ വേദത്തിൽ ശതവുംദശവും ഒക്കെ എങ്ങനെ ഉണ്ടായി...?, 

എ ഡി 5 ആം നൂറ്റാണ്ടില്‍ ആര്യഭട്ടൻ പുജ്യം കണ്ടുപിടിക്കുകയും പൂജ്യം ഇല്ലാതെ വേദകാലഘട്ടത്തിൽ (BC 1400 ന്റെ മദ്ധ്യത്തിൽ) 10 ഉം 100 ഉം 1000 വും ഒക്കെ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു എന്നുമാണോ നമ്മുടെ തലമുറ ഇനിയും പഠിക്കേണ്ടത്...?

അഞ്ച് ലക്ഷം രൂപയ്ക്ക് ഒരു വീട്

കേരളീയ ശൈലിയില്‍, ചൂടു കുറയ്ക്കുന്ന സാങ്കേതിക വിദ്യയിലുള്ള നിര്‍മാണത്തില്‍ അഞ്ച് ലക്ഷം രൂപയ്ക്ക് ഒരു വീട്. രണ്ട് ബെഡ് റൂം, സ്റ്റഡി റൂം, ഹാള്‍, അടുക്കള, ബാത്ത്റൂം തുടങ്ങിയ സൗകര്യങ്ങള്‍. ഇന്‍റീരിയറിന് ജിപ്സം പ്ലാസ്റ്ററിങ്, പെയിന്‍റിങ്, ഫ്‌ളോറിങ്, ഇലക്ട്രിക്കല്‍, പ്ലംബിങ് സാനിറ്ററി ഫിറ്റിങ്സ് എല്ലാം ഉള്‍പ്പടെയാണ് അഞ്ചുലക്ഷം രൂപ. കൂടുതല്‍ അറിയാന്‍ വീട് പ്രോഗ്രാം കാണുക. ഞായറാഴ്ച രാത്രി 7.30ന്. വീടിന്‍റെ മുന്‍ എപ്പിസോഡുകള്‍ക്ക് >> http://goo.gl/9GJxCA
