[Sage Mrukandu prayed Lord Shiva for a son. Lord Shiva asked him whether he wanted an intelligent son who will live only for 16 years or a foolish son, who will live for one hundred years. The sage chose the former. A son was born to him and was named as Markandeya. This boy became a very great devotee of Lord Shiva. On his sixteenth birthday, he entered the sanctum sanctorum of the lord and embraced him. Yama, the lord of death came to take away his soul. Lord Shiva killed Yama. Then the boy Markandeya sang the following stotra. This prayer is supposed to ward of all evils, remove fear of death and realize all wishes.] Atha nyasam (now the Introduction) Om Sri Ganesaya Nama.

It is in Rudram and it is as follows: Tryambakam yajaamahe sugandhim pushti-vardhanam | Urvaarukam iva bandhanaan mrityor muksheeya maamritaat || We salute and respect, Him who is naturally scented, Him who looks after his devotees by mercy, And Him who has three eyes. And pray and request, To move us away from the catch of death, Like the cucumber from its stalk, And firmly put us in the path of salvation.

Myths and legends about god Ganesh

Myths and legends about god Ganesh

POEM: ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

POEM: ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEAREll the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. 

Parde Mein Rehne Do

[LyricsMasti] Lyrics of Parde Mein Rehne DoParde Mein Rehene Do, Pardaa Na Uthaao

Pardaa Jo Uth Gayaa To Bhed Khul Jaayegaa
Allaah Merii Taubaa, Allaah Merii Taubaa 
Mere Parde Mein Laakh Jalwe Hain
Kaise Mujhse Nazar Milaaoge
Jab Zaraa Bhii Naqaab Uthaauungii
Yaad Rakhanaa Kii, Jal Hii Jaaoge
Parde Mein Rehene Do, Pardaa Na Uthaao

Husn Jab Benaqaab Hotaa Hai
Vo SamaaN Laajavaab Hotaa Hai
Khud Ko Khud Kii Khabar NahiiN Rahatii
Hosh Vaalaa Bhii, Hosh Khotaa Hai
Parde Mein Rehene Do, Pardaa Na Uthaao

Haay Jisane Mujhe Banaayaa Hai,
Vo Bhii Mujhako Samajh Na Paayaa Hai
Mujhako Sajade Kiye HaiN InsaaN Ne
In FarishtoN Ne, Sar Jhukaayaa Hai
Parde Mein Rehene Do, Pardaa Na Uthaao

Meat-eating and Vegetarianism - Teachings of Swami Vivekananda by Topic- Frank Parlato Jr.

Meat-eating and Vegetarianism

About vegetarian diet I have to say this - first, my Master was a vegetarian; but if he was given meat offered to the Goddess, he used to hold it up to his head. The taking of life is undoubtedly sinful; but so long as vegetable food is not made suitable to the human system through progress in chemistry, there is no other alternative but meat-eating. So long as man shall have to live a Rajasika (active) life under circumstances like the present, there is no other way except through meat-eating. It is true that the Emperor Asoka saved the lives of millions of animals, by the threat of the sword; but is not the slavery of a thousand years more dreadful than that? Taking the life of a few goats as against the inability to protect the honour of one’s own wife and daughter, and to save the morsels for one’s children from robbing hands - which of these is more sinful? Rather let those belonging to the upper ten, who do not earn their livelihood by manual labour, not take meat; but the forcing of vegetarianism upon those who have to earn their bread by labouring day and night is one of the causes of the loss of our national freedom. Japan is an example of what good and nourishing food can do. (Complete Works, 4.486-7) All liking for fish and meat disappears when pure Sattva is highly developed, and these are the signs of its manifestation in a soul: sacrifice of everything for others, perfect non-attachment to lust and wealth, want of pride and egotism. The desire for animal food goes when these things are seen in a man. And where such indications are absent, and yet you find men siding with the non­killing party, know it for a certainty that here there is either hypocrisy or a show of religion. (Complete works, 5.403)

Ajanta - Cave 2 - 6 Blog by Swamini Atmaprajnananda SaraswatiPranams, swaminiji, 

please accept my heartfelt thanks , inexpressible admiration , and inexplicable awe that i have been silently feeling at the monumental series of magnanimous presentations on temples and sculptures, in the speaking tree, ie in the web world , 

i can not really guess the amount of sustained efforts, mental and physical, and sacrifice,
not less than a tapasya over the years, not less than the efforts of shilpis 
on this not often traveled path of spirituality, ie of capturing the ''solidified'' divine glories on the eye of camera, by physically being in the vicinity there, 

surely it is an adventure rich with discoveries, sharing with the world, for now and for long future for historians, students, artists, architects, and spiritual seekers, opening the eyes for a world , a very little of which was only known thru casual reading in the class rooms and magazines, or heard by word of mouth . now it is made available to see on the pc screen. just clicking the key board., great gift , readers are lucky for this galore of great gifts, thanks once again

Six Principles--the principles of beauty In The Analysis of Beauty Hogarth implements six principles, which independently affect beauty. Although he concurs that those principles have an effect, he is not determinate on their specific influence. 1 The first principle of beauty Hogarth describes is ..fitness, which is not in itself a source of beauty, but can be described as a material cause of it. Though the account of fitness on the total beauty of an object is only moderate, it is a necessary cause. Fitness does not necessarily imply purpose. However, improperly implied forms cannot be the source of beauty. It is in this that the necessity of fitness must be seen: if not accounted for, a form cannot readily be assumed beautiful. 2 The second major principle of beauty is ...variety. It is the source of beauty, which Hogarth shows us by the contrary notion of "sameness": "sameness", a lack of variety, offends the senses. "The ear is as much offended with one even continued note, as the eye is with being fix'd to a point, at the the view of a dead wall." In contrast, our senses find relief in discovering a certain amount of "sameness" within a varietal experience. 3 The third notion of ...regularity is understood as a form of "composed variety": it only pleases us when it is suggestive to fitness. 4 Similar to this notion in effect is.... simplicity, which enhances the pleasure of variety in that it pleases the eye. The variety which causes a beautiful experience should, so to speak, be tempered by simplicity. On the other hand: simplicity without variety at best does only not displease. 5 ...Intricacy is a strange principle in that it does not directly follow from the formal behaviour of a beautiful object. Hogarth means by this the habit which causes us end up in the whirling game of pursuit, when bit by bit discovering the beauty of an object. Intricacy arises from the love of this pursuit. Every difficulty in understanding or grasping the object enhances the pleasure of overcoming it, in order to continue the pursuit. There is a direct connection here to the Line of BeautyHogarth dictates, along which every image is built up. Though the movement of our eye is discrete in itself, the movement of our "Mind's eye" follows a duplicate course of the line, a principal ray of light moving along with the line of sight. The continuous movement of our "Mind's eye" triggers the notion of intricacy. 6 ..Quantity, finally, is associated with the notion of the sublime which, when Hogarth's book appeared, was not yet entirely distinguished from the apprehension of beauty. Hogarth thus does not speak of sublimity, but of greatness. He recognizes a great quantity to have an aesthetic effect on the beholder without the necessity of a varietal or fitting form. This should not be exaggerated, as that might lead to absurdities .unquoteRishi Vasanth

Six Principles--the principles of beauty

In The Analysis of Beauty Hogarth implements six principles, which independently affect beauty. Although he concurs that those principles have an effect, he is not determinate on their specific influence.

1 The first principle of beauty Hogarth describes is ..fitness,
which is not in itself a source of beauty, but can be described as a material cause of it. Though the account of fitness on the total beauty of an object is only moderate, it is a necessary cause. Fitness does not necessarily imply purpose. However, improperly implied forms cannot be the source of beauty. It is in this that the necessity of fitness must be seen: if not accounted for, a form cannot readily be assumed beautiful.

2 The second major principle of beauty is ...variety.
It is the source of beauty, which Hogarth shows us by the contrary notion of "sameness":
"sameness", a lack of variety, offends the senses. "The ear is as much offended with one even continued note, as the eye is with being fix'd to a point, at the the view of a dead wall."
In contrast, our senses find relief in discovering a certain amount of "sameness" within a varietal experience.

3 The third notion of ...regularity
is understood as a form of "composed variety": it only pleases us when it is suggestive to fitness.

4 Similar to this notion in effect is.... simplicity,
which enhances the pleasure of variety in that it pleases the eye. The variety which causes a beautiful experience should, so to speak, be tempered by simplicity. On the other hand: simplicity without variety at best does only not displease.

Introduction

It is customary to perform Panchaayatana puja daily among Hindu homes. It is a
daily worship of the five deities viz., Ganesha, Shiva, Shakti, Vishnu and
Surya (The Sun). Surya occupies a special status among these five deities
because He is the only Pratyaksha Devata i.e. He is the only one Deity who is
visible to the naked eye not based on any Anumanam (inference) or any other
means of knowledge like Sabda etc.

The objective of
another prescribed daily ritual, Sandhyaavandanam, is the worship of Surya during
the Morning, the Mid Day and the Dusk. The Gayatri mantra recited during this
ritual is the most sacred invocation to the Sun God praying for a Good Day
similar to the modern “Good Day to You” type.

Worship of the Sun God
or Suryopasana is as ancient as Hinduism itself having its origin from Vedic
times. Hence numerous hymns addressed to Him are found in all the four Vedas -
e.g. Saura   Sukta of the Rg Veda, Aruna Prashna of the Taittiriiya
Aranyaka, Surya Namaskara mantras, Surya Upanishad of Atharva Veda etc. These
hymns describe the celestial body as the source of energy and sustainer of all
life on the planet earth.

They portray the Sun
as the store house of inexhaustible power and radiance. The Sun god is also
referred to as Aditya. The origin of the worship of the Sun in India is thus
several centuries old.

Suurya is usually
equated with Brahman as "asaavaadityo brahma", meaning the Sun is the
icon of Brahman.

Rig Veda says "Surya
Atma Jagatastasthushashcha" meaning the Sun God is the Soul of
all beings, moving and non-moving.

References to the Sun
worship are also found in the Puranas. The famous Aditya Hridayam is a part of
the Yuddha Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana wherein Sage Agastya initiates Rama into
Sun worship to bolster up His spirits while facing Ravana in the battlefield.
We find references to Surya in the Mahabharata also.

Mayura, who lived in
the court of Harshavardhana composed the Surya Satakam in
praise of Surya and is believed to have been cured of blindness.

Surya Upanishad

One of the famous Vedic Hymns in praise of the Sun God is Surya Upanishad which
finds place in the Atharva Veda. It is reproduced below in its transliterated
form from the original Sanskrit together with its free English translation.
