Dear ones,

I have come across an amazing information on a shloka from Hanuman Chalisa which I would like to share with all of you. What the modern scientists are declaring now was established in our old scriptures.

In Hanuman Chalisa, it is written:

“Yug sahastra yojan per Bhanu!
Leelyo taahi madhur phal janu!!

1 Yug = 12000 years
1 Sahastra = 1000
1 Yojan = 8 Miles

Yug x Sahastra x Yojan = par Bhanu
12000 x 1000 x 8 miles = 96000000 miles

1 mile = 1.6kms

96000000 miles = 96000000 x 1.6kms =
96000000 miles/1536000000 kms to Sun

NASA has said that, it is the exact distance between Earth and Sun (Bhanu).
Which proves Hanuman ji did jump to Planet Sun, thinking it as a sweet fruit (Madhur phal)..

Is it not amazing how accurate and meaningful our ancient scriptures are?… How rich is our heritage, is a matter of pride for all Indians. Unfortunately barely it is recognized, interpreted accurately or realized by any in today’s time…

I have received an amazing information on Gayatri Mantra which I would like to share with one and all.

*Dr.Howard Steingeril, an American scientist, collected Mantras, Hymns and invocations from all over the world and tested their strength in his Physiology Laboratory…

Hindus’ Gayatri Mantra produced 110,000 sound waves / second !
This was the highest and was found to be the most powerful hymn in the world. Through the combination of sound or sound waves of a particular frequency, this Mantra is claimed to be capable of developing specific spiritual potentialities.

The Hamburg university initiated research into the efficacy of the Gayatri Mantra both on the mental and physical plane of CREATION…

The GAYATRI MANTRA is broadcast daily for 15 minutes from 7 P.M. onwards over Radio Paramaribo, Surinam, South America for the past two years, and in Amsterdam, Holland for the last six months.

“Om Bhoor Bhuwah Swah,
Tat Savitur Varenyam,
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi,
Dhiyo Yo Nah Pra-chodayaat !”

It’s meaning: “God is dear to me like my own breath, He is the dispeller of my pains, and giver of happiness. I meditate on the supremely adorable Light of the Divine Creator, that it may inspire my thought and understanding.”

This is great information worth circulating and sharing with one and all.

Response from Shri Ravi Trehan

Dear Lalit,

May Param Pujya Guruji shower his blessings on you and your framily.

I do not know how your query escaped our attention, hence the delay in responding to it.  You have posed a very apt question – what is the significance of lighting 5 diyas at 5 places on Diwali evening.  It has both a scientific as well as a spiritual explanation.  Scientifically speaking, for various reasons, tremendous amount of pollution is created in the atmosphere.  Lighting diyas with mustard oil at different places helps in dissipating the pollution, eradicating its harmful effects and cleaning the atmosphere for well-being of human race and the living organism.

There are strong spiritual and human aspects to it also.  Nature has bestowed upon us bountiful gifts for the sustenance of human life on planet earth.  It is a call to express our gratitude to these benevolent gifts of Nature and to inculcate a sense of dedication and selfless service.

1.  Nal – water tap:  Water is a life source.  Without this essential gift of Nature, it is impossible to imagine life on planet earth.  The inherent qualities of water are coolness, purity, transparency, continuous flow and ability to change its course when it comes across any obstacle, so on and so forth.   If we imbibe these qualities, we can attain fulfilment of life.  By lighting a diya at nal (water tap), we are expressing our gratitude to this wonderful gift of Nature.
2. Tulsi :  Here is another priceless gift of Nature which has tremendous  medicinal values and finds a prominent place in the courtyards of many Hindu homes.  It is regarded a very sacred plant.  In Yayurveda, shyam varan tulsi has been equated with Sanjeevani booti. Scientific research has revealed that large scale plantation of Tulsi creates a thick ozone layer which protects mankind from various diseases (specially cancer) and dispels many ailments. The rightful usage of its various parts help in eradicating number of diseases.  As a normal practice in Hindu homes, diya is lit at  Tulsi plant during the entire month of Kartika. 
3.  Peepal:   Lord Krishna says in Bhagvad Gita that among the trees, I am Peepal.  From times immemorial, Hindus have regarded Peepal as a most holy tree and have been offering jal (water) to it and lighting diyas round the year, especially on Saturdays.    Peepal tree emits oxygen during the day and carbon dioxide after the sun set.  Lighting diyas of mustard oil at Peepal tree nullifies the effect of carbon dioxide.
4. Chauraha – road crossings:  Firstly, pollution is maximum at the crossings.  Lighting  mustard oil diyas at chaurahas (road crossings), minimise the pollution.  Secondly, at some crucial junctures of life, for some reason or the other, we find ourselves at the cross roads looking for help and guidance.  Metaphorically speaking,  lighting of diyas at the crossings is an effort to enlighten the path and extend a helping hand to the needy.  Imbibe the feelings of love and compassion for co-travellers in the path of life.
5. Shamshaan Ghaat – Cremation ground:  This is the ultimate destination of life’s journey and an abode of  Lord Shiva.  A visit to the cremation ground is a reminder of the ultimate end of our gross body.  We must always remember that death is inevitable. So live this life like a spectator with a sense of detachment from the material world and be one with the Lord.  Furthermore,  like a multitude of  living beings, there are multitude of wandering souls.  Lighting diyas at the cremation ground also gives solace to the wandering souls and generates positive energy for their salvation.

And finally, such is the configuration of planets and stars on Diwali day  that they emit intense cosmic energy.  Lighting of diyas with mustard oil at different places also generate positive energy.  The fusion of these two energies have a tremendous positive effect for the welfare and wellbeing of all living organism.

As regards Mantra , we have explained at length in our Article – Dhan Teras, posted on the Blog on October 12 & 31, 2013.  However, for your ready reference, it is being repeated as follows:

Do japa of the following Lakshmi mantra and thereafter apply tilak at the holy feet of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, while reciting the mantra:

“Aum Hring, Kling, Mahalakshmi Namah”

How many times to recite this mantra,  is left to your option.  Minimum one mala and maximum 5, 11malas (however, more the merrier).

I welcome your question and appreciate your inquisitiveness. Let me, at the very outset, clarify that it has no religious or spiritual sanctity. It is purely a scientific phenomenon. In this cosmos, we have nine nakshatras and they emit cosmic energy. We live and survive because of cosmic energy. Like all living organism, human body receives cosmic energy, which is a source of regular and adequate flow of life force, eradicates ailments and ensures good health. Continue reading →

Revered Guruji, who was a manifestation of Shiv-shakti, would recommend good use of the gifts of nature,  like  jal  and vanaspati (laung, elaichi, kali-mirch etc.) to rid people of their problems.  Nature has provided medicinal values in all these items, but revered Guruji groomed his shishyas in the path of sadhna and made them capable of multiplying the medicinal values by sanctifying (blessing) these items with the power of sacred mantras to relieve people of their physical and mental problems.

But the effect of mantra-power depends upon the karmas of people.  The length of time required by an individual to derive the maximum benefit of the mantra power depends on the goodness or badness of that person. Continue reading →

We live and keep ourselves alive because of cosmic energy. Due to fluctuations in the cosmic energy, certain deficiencies occur in the human body which create numerous problems. Copper, being a good conductor, plays an important role in keeping these fluctuations under control. Just as electricity is generated in a power house and through the distribution transformer and copper cable it reaches the meter in our house and we are able to make good use of the electrical equipment / gadgets. To safeguard these equipments/gadgets, we install a voltage stabilizer. In the same manner, kara, made out of copper wire, blessed with sacred mantras, receives cosmic energy, stores it and distributes/transmits it to the human body at required intensity, so that various gadgets/limbs of our body are able to perform the desired functions. Kara is worn as a protective measure to safeguard our body and to maintain its normal functioning. Continue reading →

On The Auspicious Occasion Of Janmashtami

Bhagwad Gita is a Divine Song which has come out directly from the Divine ‘mukh’ of Lord Krishna. It does not project any religion, nor does it relate to any particular caste, colour, creed, sect or community. Vedas (Rig Veda, Saam Veda, Yayur Veda and Atharva Veda) are the most ancient scriptures which were written by Bhagwan Ved Vyasa as per the knowledge imparted to Him by Lord Brahma. Upnishads are said to contain the knowledge of Vedas. Shastras are derived from Upnishads. And Bhagwad Gita is the extract of all the above holy scriptures and expound the philosophy of life. As such it belongs to the entire humanity. Continue reading →

Ham raat guzaar aiye, kis khuab ki bahon mein. Whether it was a good dream or a bad dream, is another story. What we see and experience in a dream state, seems to be happening in reality, but the moment we come out of the dream, we realize that it was merely an illusion and not a reality.

Nature and material world are composed of five tatvas. What relates to nature (like human body and material objects) are temporary, ever-changing, destructible and mutable while the soul derives from God and is, therefore, unborn, eternal, everlasting and primeval. The human body and the material world, because of their very nature, are prone to decay, but the soul is incorruptible. This material world is not real and the unreal has no permanent existence. The soul and God are real, are part of each other and the ultimate truth, and the real never ceases to be. This reality of both has thus been perceived by the seers of truth.

We practically observe every day this changing world with a naked eye and what we see with our own eyes does not need any proof. In this destructible and unstable dreamland, nobody belongs to you nor can any material object be yours forever. Everything is subject to change – relationships, objects, insatiable desires, actions, circumstances, situations. Change is the very essence of life in this material world. What existed yesterday, does not exist today; what exists today, will not be so tomorrow and the never ending wheel of time will continue to revolve. Our own body changes every minute. Modern scientists maintain that in seven years the whole body changes and that not even a drop of old blood remains. Our close relatives, our loved ones who were so very dear to us, our friends on whom we relied implicitly, left us. So much so, we did not even realize when our childhood, our youth left us quietly. But one existence, i.e. jeevatma, that kept watching these changes as a spectator, is the only real, stable and permanent entity. It is a law of nature that the one who takes birth, grows, changes, decays and, over a period of time, will be destroyed. In such a situation, any attempt made to establish a permanent relationship in this temporary world is a mirage.

The irony is that we try to establish our identity with the unreal and thus get caught in the web of “I, me and mine” and land ourselves into problems. What is important for us to do is to play our role assigned to us by the Almighty in as best a manner as possible, relinquishing all attachment to it. The reality is that you are not the body but a soul, which is an inseparable part of the Supreme Soul, and you have to go back to Him one day, sooner or later. So let us live this life with awareness and understand WHO AM I?

On a Mahashivratri more than 25 years ago I had gone to Gurgaon with family in my Fiat car. As usual we got very late after standing for hours and hours in the serpentine queue and came back after mid night after having Aloo and Nimbu Chai Prasad. As soon as we reached home, both my children—Nikku & Mini , wife–Jyotsna and mother started having vomits and dysentery. So many times they went to toilet in half an hour that whole house was stinking. My father who had not gone to Gurgaon contacted Dr. Sangh in ESI Hospital, Continue reading →

It is not possible to fathom Brahman by any one limited to the perception of senses. To know HIM man has to transcend his senses. That is why we can only tell aboutPUJYA GURUJI in segments and fragments. It is difficult even to say, if we can tell all about HIM through compiling from each of the disciples. Well, it is a venture to make revelations with my own limitations. Continue reading →
