#long_thread

इन्द्रकृत महालक्ष्मी स्तोत्र के अनुसार

नमस्तेऽस्तु महामाये श्रीपीठे सुरपूजिते।
शङ्खचक्रगदाहस्तेमहालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते॥

श्रीपीठ पर विराजित व शंख चक्र और गदायुक्त हों।

नमस्ते गरुड़ारूढे - गरूड़ पर बैठी हई हों। Image
पद्मासनस्थिते देवि- कमल आसान पर विराजित हों।

श्वेताम्बरधरे देविनानालङ्कार भूषिते।
जगत्स्थिते जगन्मातर्महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते॥

सुन्दर श्वेतवस्त्रों और विभिन्न अलंकार आभूषण आदि से सुसज्जित हों। Image
तत स्फुरत्कांतीमतिविकासि कमलेस्थिता ।
श्रीर्द्देवी पयसस्तस्मादुत्थिता धृतपंकजा।।
पद्मपुराण

जब माँ लक्ष्मी क्षीर सागर से प्रकट हुईं तो वो खिले हुए कमल पर विराजमान और हाथ में कमल लिए हुए थीं। Image

Story of a British officer who claimed he was saved by Lord Shiva!

#Long_Thread

Hinduism abounds with legends of miracles; superhuman deeds of gods born as humans; and mortals claiming to have been visited by one of the various Hindu deities.
But the following story is unique.

A Hindu sights a Hindu god in his dream or has a vision of a god in real life, that’s believable because the person reveres that god. But a Christian claiming to see a Hindu god who ends up saving the man’s life…that’s unheard of.
Lord Shiva – The Saviour

It was 1879, and the British were ruling India. An officer in the British Army, Lt. Col. Martin of Agar Malva, was leading the army in the war against Afghanistan.

Col. Martin would regularly send messages about his well-being to his wife.

A VERY UNIQUE & STRANGE SANSKRIT SCRIPTURE..!!
In straight order it narrates story of Shri Rama whereas in reverse order, the story is of Shri Krishna..

#दक्षिण_भारत_का_ग्रन्थ
सीधा पढ़े तो #रामायण और उल्टा पढ़े तो कृष्ण #भागवत की कथा...
कांचीपुरम के 17वीं शदी के कवि #वेंकटाध्वरि रचित ग्रन्थ "#राघवयादवीयम्" ऐसा ही एक #अद्भुत_ग्रन्थ है।

इस ग्रन्थ को
‘अनुलोम-विलोम काव्य’ भी कहा जाता है। पूरे ग्रन्थ में केवल 30 श्लोक हैं। इन श्लोकों को सीधे-सीधे
पढ़ते जाएँ, तो रामकथा बनती है और
विपरीत (उल्टा) क्रम में पढ़ने पर..
कृष्णकथा। इस प्रकार हैं तो केवल 30 श्लोक, लेकिन कृष्णकथा के भी 30 श्लोक जोड़ लिए जाएँ तो बनते हैं 60 श्लोक।

पुस्तक के नाम से भी यह प्रदर्शित होता है, राघव (राम) + यादव (कृष्ण) के चरित को बताने वाली गाथा है ~ "राघवयादवीयम।"

उदाहरण के तौर पर पुस्तक का पहला श्लोक है....

धुळे येथील भारताचे एडिसन
डॉ. शंकर आबाजी भिसे
( २९ एप्रिल १८६७ ते ७ एप्रिल १९३५ )

दोनशेच्यावर निरनिराळे शोध लावणारे, चाळीसहून अधिक शोधांचे एकस्व संपादन करणारे आणि शतकापूर्वी भारतीयांच्या नावानं नाक मुरडणाऱ्या अमेरिकेन लोकांमध्येच मानाचं स्थान मिळवणाऱ्या
डॉ. शंकर आबाजी भिसे यांचा २९ एप्रिल १८६७ हा जन्मदिन.
भारताचे एडिसन म्हणून ओळखल्या जाणाऱ्या या महान शास्त्रज्ञाचा जन्म मुंबईमध्ये एका मॅजिस्ट्रेटच्या घरात झाला. 'आयुष्यात भाकरीची भ्रांत सुटायची असेल तर त्यासाठी सरकारी नोकरी हा एक चांगला पर्याय आहे.
असा विचार असलेल्या कुटुंबात जन्माला आलेला हा शंकर पुढे महान शास्त्रज्ञ होईल, असं कोणालाही वाटलं नव्हतं. पण शाळेत असताना एकदा त्यांच्या वाचनात युरोपीयन शास्त्रज्ञांनी भारतीय शास्त्रज्ञांबद्दल केलेलं विधान आलं. त्यात युरोपीय शास्त्रज्ञांनी भारतीय शास्त्रज्ञांवर ताशेरे ओढले होते.
