#Fire (#Agni) is the mouth,

#Vishvamitra is the #Rishi and #Gayatri is the metre.

1-One of the most important houses in the #BirthChart is the 5th House

In #WesternAstrology, the 5th House is the House of the #InnerChild – signifying #Creativity, #Play and #Leisure.

No wonder, #Children are seen from this house. (1/8)

2-#Romantic relationships and gambling activities are also seen from the 5th House.

1-To define God is to deny #God.

You can give the definition to a finite object.

How can you define limitless or the #Infinite Being

..who is the source and ultimate cause for everything? (1/15)

#संस्कृतिबोध

2-If you define God you are limiting the limitless one, you are confining Him with concepts of mind.

God is beyond the reach of the gross mind,

..but He can be #realized through #Japa and #meditation

..with a pure, subtle and one-pointed mind. (2/15)

3-#Manasika #Puja (mental worship) is more powerful than external Puja with flowers, etc.

Arjuna thought that Bhima was not doing any kind of worship.

He was proud of his external worship of Lord #Shiva.

He offered plenty of Bilva leaves. (3/15)

1-A constant question I receive from people is

..what is the significance of empty houses in a #BirthChart?!

Does an empty house in your chart mean, that no action will happen there?

And are these meaningless?! (1/8)

#Astrology.

2-Or does it mean that every house should have one planet?!

This is how #Astrologers look at it

Most charts have a handful of empty houses.

No chart has all the houses filled up with #Grahas. (2/8)

You will realize the spiritual benefits. (1/13)

1-How does #HouseInterpretation happen in #Astrology?

Practitioners opine about two schools of thought.

From the #vantage of the house as well as that of the #planet or #Graha. (1/10)

2-When a #Graha occupies a particular #House –

..D area signified by that house is experienced through the ‘Flavour’ #Personality and #attributes of that very Graha.

Let’s say someone has his or her #Mercury in the #Ascendant or the first house (2/10)

...in the world and to be confident about himself,

..he or she needs to work on his #communication – an area clearly governed by Mercury. (3/10)

Life-Size Stone Sculpture of Goddess #Saraswati.

Dated: 1200AD-1300 A.D

The goddess has been conceived as four-armed standing on a lotus pedestal and carrying lotus, book, rosary and a pot in her hands.

1/1

#HistoryEncyclopedia #SculptureOfIndia #History

Along with the rosary, the lower right hand displays 'varada mudra', gesture of release. Elaborately bejeweled with a wider range of ornaments than usually seen in her contemporary images, especially the ornaments on her arms, the delicate string on the back of the palms.

2/2

Goddess has been modeled with an exceptionally soft & delicate figure, fingers, long, sharp & with pointed nails being most attractive & striking. Besides the lyre-playing devotee females and the donor couple, royal beings or a rich trader and his wife.

@meenakshisharan

They couldn’t deny that the Veds were the ancient most texts!
They couldn’t accept that German, Greek, Latin languages had their origin in Sanskrit!
To give expression to their political aspirations, they fabricated ‘Aryan invasion theory’! #SaraswatiUntold

https://twitter.com/saraswatiuntold/status/1236892508883304448

In 1848, German scholar, Friedrich Max Muller settled in Oxford, introduced in 1853, term Aryan applied to Indian languages & Race! Germany & England used Aryan invasion theory to propagate that Rigvedic people were descendants of Europeans,so our culture,language came from them!

Macaulay understood- knowledge of Brahmins would be a hinderance in converting Hindus, hired impoverished Max Muller to translate & interpret Veds in a way that🇮🇳elite would choose Bible over Veds, used #Hindu intellectual strength against their own self!

स्कन्द पुराण में महादेव ने पार्वती जी को सरस्वती नदी की उत्पत्ति रोचक कथा सुनायी: ऋषि और्व्व के तेज़ से प्रचंड वाडवग्नि जन्मी जिससे सम्पूर्ण ब्रम्हाण्ड के जल जाने का भय था, ब्रह्मा जी ने अपनी पुत्री सरस्वती को वाडवग्नि को सिंध महासागर तक ले जाने का कार्य सौंपा।
#SaraswatiUntold

सरस्वती तब वाडवग्नि लेकर पश्चिम समुद्र की ओर चलीं #SaraswatiUntold सरस्वती के इसी प्रयास का नाट्य रूपांतरण है। प्राचीन काल में शास्त्र पाठ को नृत्य के माध्यम से भी दर्शाया जाता था, #Saraswati के पुनर्जीवन के लिए हमने भी यही माध्यम चुना और नृत्य नाटिका, सरस्वती अंटोल्ड की रचना की।
