Tri Murthi and Tri Devi


Hinduism talks about the concept of Trimurthi (a Sanskrit word for three forms).  In chanting parlance, Trimurthi is worshipped as ‘Bhrama-Vishnu-Maheshwara’ and also referred to as the Great Trinity or the Hindu Triad. The concept personifies the cosmic functions of creation, preservation and destruction by the forms of Bhrama, the creator, Vishnu, the preserver and Shiva, the destroyer (or transformer). These three functions are true for everything in the universe from the macrocosm to the microcosm. The three forms are infact manifestation of One person in different forms. The One person is Swayam Bhagavan or absolute God.



Trimurthi is complete with their concepts Tridevi.
Brahma, the creator needs knowledge and wisdom, so his consort is Saraswathi (goddess of learning, arts and cultural fulfilment)
Vishnu, the preserver needs wealth, so his consort is Lakshmi (goddess of wealth, fertility and material fulfilment).
Shiva, the destroyer needs power, so his consort is Parvati (goddess of power, love and spiritual fulfilment).

Thus the Tridevi concept logically falls with Trimurthi concept, which sustains the universe.

Let us thank them for all that we have and pray to them for proper well being of everything in this universe. Let us also play our small part peacefully and wisely in this beautiful universe.

Save Water and Vim Dishwash- Banana Tree - Initial Blog


Why not have your food on Banana Leaves, atleast once a day ? 
It is highly medicinal, saves water and washing items, prevents pollution.
And dispose off the used leaves, etc into a deep pit and you have your own vermicultured compost.
"Get the earthworms back on track and you could prevent earthquakes !"
Do a small amount of research on how to plant the banana sapling (you could even borrow one from your friends). One banana sapling is enough for one home and the banana follows the "Vazhadi Vazhai" proverb - the parent tree gives rise to more saplings before it dies. And after a year or so, you would have something like the below picture.
All the flats, apartments, gated communities, condominiums, etc etc...can share this best practise for everyone's good. Think about it.

A flag similar to the Indian

Two similarly horizontal coloured striped flags - India and Niger --from my facebook page on General Knowledge

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Happy-To-Know/568546309947278

Niger : Independence Day : August 3, 1960 (from France) / Flag adopted day November 23 1959
three equal horizontal bands of orange (top), white, and green with a small orange disk centered in the white band; the orange band denotes the drier northern regions of the Sahara; white stands for purity and innocence; green symbolizes hope and the fertile and productive southern and western areas, as well as the Niger River; the orange disc represents the sun and the sacrifices made by the people
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
India : Independence Day : August 15, 1947 (from Britain) / Flag adopted day July 24, 1947
The circular symbol in the center of the flag, the Ashoka chakra, is the wheel of the dharma, the cosmic law that upholds the order of the universe. At the crux of their faiths, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism all subscribe to the concept of the dharma. In this way the flag speaks to many, but not all, of the religious traditions that are present in India. In addition, the wheel represents motion as a reminder that India cannot oppose change, as forward progress is the key to national success in a quickly modernizing world.
The upper saffron/orange part of the flag is meant to denote courage and selflessness. It is a religiously significant color to the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain religions as it signifies renunciation and the absolution of the ego. It is the color worn in the spirit of detachment by the wandering renunciants, and it is meant to remind political leadership to conduct their work without seeking material gains, but rather for the good of the nation.
White
The white stripe in the middle of the flag is representative of honesty, purity and peace. In Indian philosophy white also represents cleanliness and knowledge. It signifies light and the path of truth to guide India’s national conduct. Politically, the white stripe functions as a reminder to India’s leadership that the ultimate national objective is to maintain a state of peace. This is particularly important due to the bloodshed that surrounded India’s independence and subsequent partition.
Green
The green stripe on the bottom half of the flag represents faith, fertility and prosperity. In Indian philosophy it is considered to be a festive and stabilizing color that represents life and happiness. It demonstrates the value placed on the earth as the ground upon which all life is dependent. In this way the green stripe serves as a reminder to political leaders to protect Indian soil both from external enemies and from internal human destruction.

An idea - Robots for military

Everyone wants to become a world citizen, and however governments are still financing border security (I suppose India's is 2.5% of its GDP). If military is all that important, why not look into using robots and other technologies - it may not be more costly than nuclear 'spendings'. Robots can fight militants and miscreants. Why waste precious human lives ?? Terrorist outfits might outdo governments in this area soon !

          Info : Total military spending by the world countries in 2012  = $ 1 756,000,000,000

Lord Hanuman’s ‘Chiranjeevi’ness

Hanuman Jayanthi was celebrated in April all round the country.Lord Hanuman’s star is Moolam.


Lord Hanuman is a Chiranjeevi [Chiram (long) + Jeevi (life)], which in earthly sense means death-defying personality.
[Hinduism notes 7 such chiranjeevies, and some scriptures add more]. This does not mean that Hanuman did not get Moksha [right to live in the Kingdom of God] - he did receive Moksha, and he decided to stay in this world. Whether he is in the Spiritual World (God's Kingdom) or here in this world, he has the same activity. When it was time for Lord Rama to depart to Vaikundam, many of his entourage wanted to accompany Him. However, Hanuman requested from Rama that he would be on the earth to listen to Rama Nama rather to His various other names as Vishnu in Vaikundam. Sita accorded him that wish and granted that his image would be installed in various public places, so that he could listen to people chanting Rama's name. Sita also bestowed that Hanuman would be ever-youthful, vivacious, dynamic and immortal.

Let us also join Hanuman in spreading the name of Ram and spirituality and live in this material world amicably.

Jai Sita Ram. Jai Hanuman.

Foreigners - caution when you visit temples

Hi All Foreigners in India, welcome. I see many of you visiting temples. But, I like to point out to you, that you need to be careful that you do not do the
below DONT'S in temples.
1)Never visit temples within 12 hours of having non vegetarian / alcohol / drugs. It takes 12 hrs for your body to digest these. Remember, your body has to
be respected and maintained as a temple, to make it energy receivable when you enter temples.
2)Ladies, do not visit temples starting 7 days from your menstrual flow.
3)All, do not wear shorts / trousers / anything that shows most of your body. Ideally, men can be bare chested but rest of the bodies covered. Ladies have to
be covered as much as possible. And all of you wear simple clothes. Actually, the body should not be shown split, so even avoid pants if that is possible.
Dhotis / sarees are best.
4)Ladies should not prostate by completely falling on the ground. Some of their body parts should not touch the ground.
5) No slippers or any dirt. Do not talk much inside temples. Maintain silence. Do not eat within premises. Do not throw wastes. Avoid shooting pictures as
much as possible. Avoid cellphones and other electronic / electrical gadgets that can affect the energy vibration.
Caution: Indian guides allow you all this,since they do not want to anger you and make as much money as possible. Some temple authorities might be strict in
rules - that is handful. Many do not follow and turn blind eyes to the mistakes, either out of fear or to get maximum benefit.
Most Indians do not follow these rules either.
This is for the benefit of all humans - follow these, else you will get bad energy vibrations and end up in spoiling the temples by passing on bad energies.
These will result in calamities in the world.
You may not believe me - you can very well ask any gurus / swamijis if you are visiting them.
Always take head baths before you visit temples (that is why you would see tanks in almost all temples).The body has to be a temple - not just the mind and
intellect. The body + mind + intellect needs to be pure to have your soul pure - these 3 house your soul.
Also, each and every rule has a scientific reason and all these were taken into consideration so nicely by our ancestors - nothing without a reason.
All the best and may God bless you.
I am a mere observer and none to force things on you. If you do not follow, the nature will take its own course. Nature is made by God using energy and if
this energy deteriorates, the nature is spoiled and some times behind repair. Also energy travels. So, energy vibrations in one place can affect some far
away place. So, take my warning and take some steps to save the nature and world.
And reason why not many know / think these are superstitions is ignorance. All these have been forgotten through history and only a few whose upbringing is
good or have used their brains to realize and seek truth know.
The above is just a small part of the truth.....keep searching.
