Vietnam’s ancient Hindu culture rediscovered

The My Son UNESCO World Heritage site. Photo: Amanda McInerney Officially, Vietnam is an atheist state, but a significant section of the population practises traditional religions; some adhere to Buddhism and there are quite a few Catholics left over from the French occupation.
Hindu ruins - My SonHowever, tucked away not far from Hoi An, is My Son, a UNESCO World Heritage site, once the location of the ancient Hindu Champa civilisation and its majestic complex of temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.
Originally the religious and political capital of the Champa kingdom, the complex was built around the third or fourth century AD, and traces its spiritual roots back to Indian Hinduism. The city was forgotten with the passing of the Cham reign and for centuries sat hidden in the jungle.
Consisting of 70 ruins over 57ha, the site was rediscovered and renovated by the French in the late 1890s, but was subsequently heavily bombed during the Vietnam War, when it was found to be a hiding place for the Viet Cong.
Parts of the site are gradually being reconstructed using the traditional red bricks of the original work, although some of the very early work looks clumsy. Under government supervision, more recent reconstruction and renovation work is now of a high standard, with de-mining of the area being an early priority and still an important consideration for the wider areas around the site.
My Son Vietnam 3The renovations also face less alarming, but no less important, challenges. Modern artisans are having difficulties replicating the unique properties of the construction techniques and are struggling to resolve questions around the firing of the bricks. The brick courses of these ancient buildings seem to be held together with just millimetres of incredibly strong mortar – something else which has yet to be successfully reproduced.
My Son is an extraordinary example of an ancient culture – and one which kept written records. Much was recorded on perishable materials, but a great deal has been preserved on stone slabs or pillars and these have been a precious source of information for scholars and archaeologists.
The My Son site is easily accessible from Hoi An or Da Nang, on Vietnam’s south central coast, via group or private tours. There is little signage on the site, so it is worth going with an informed guide. It is also very well worth going early in the morning to beat the heat and the large buses, both of which arrive towards the middle of the day

BEEF IS DANGEROUS

 Eating beef delivers L-carnitine to bacteria that live in the human gut. These bacteria digest L-carnitine and turn it into a compound called trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). TMAO has been shown to cause atherosclerosis, the disease that leads to cholesterol-clogged arteries that can lead to heart attacks.
- Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemicals formed when muscle meat, is cooked. HCAs and PAHs have been found to be mutagenic—that is, they cause changes in DNA that may increase the risk of cancer. You are also providing a cancerous DNA for your children.
- Women who consume beef are more likely to contract type-2 diabetes.
- Eating beef raises certain iron-constituent levels in brain which would increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
- Grilled beef, which contain high levels of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) will result in worsening of many degenerative diseases, including diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
- Mad cow disease, which is not only fatal but kills you within fourteen months of diagnosis. Mostly it goes without diagnosis and death would be attributed to something else.
- Consumption of beef and processed beef is linked with a substantial increase in the risk of cancer in the lower colon and rectum.
- Beef contains high levels of N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), which are potentially cancer-causing chemicals
- The lean finely textured beef (LFTB), or pink slime is a meat additive contains fatty bits of leftover meat that’s heated, spun to remove the fat, and then treated with ammonia gas to kill bacteria. It’s then shipped off to grocery stores and meat packers, where the slime is added to ground beef (70% of supermarket ground beef contains the additive).
- The beef you buy from stores is pumped full of hormones to make it grow faster and antibiotics to prevent disease. No one really knows what a combination of several chemicals, hormones and antibiotics will do to you. (The same situation applicable for all food items, but it is proven that some chemicals specific to beef are very dangerous)
- Laboratory results have shown that dioxin is present in beef. Dioxin will make us vulnerable to a wide range of effects, including cancer, depressed immune response, nervous system disorders, miscarriages, and birth deformities. Dioxins are potent human carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, reproductive disruptors and immune disruptors.
- Beef eating girls are more prone to be obesity.
- Beef contain protein that controls a growth hormone called IGF-I, which aids in body growth. Very high levels of IGF-I have been associated with an increased cancer risk.
-Ayurveda says beef has ability to increase Pitta and it can cause the body to become excessively acidic –especially if you are predominantly a Pitta type. In hot countries like India, it can cause congestion, leading to a variety of problems such as heart disease and skin disorders.
- Fear in animals during slaughter results in unnaturally high amounts of hormones that cause dramatic reduction of vitality and sexual potency in humans who eat the meat. When animals are killed, the pain and death stress induces hormonal release to the muscles, which are loads of chemicals corresponding negative emotions as well.
- People are addicted to beef for a couple of reason. First, eating meat increases eating desire due to purin in the meat. Second, people say they feel more energized due to high artificial hormone in the meat.
There are much more scientific studies that prove the dangers of beef eating. All scientific studies of various reputed international research institutes - references are available in all libraries. Do you need any further scientific evidences to ban yourself from eating beef?
Oh, yes. The human angle. When you kill a cow for meat, remember that it stays dead. All animals should have just as much right to live as humans do. The nature does not exist simply to be used or consumed by humans, but that humans are simply one species amongst many. Human beings are not inherently superior to other living things.
As a child, in all likelihood, you drank cow's milk. I'd bet anything your first coloring book had outlines of cows on its pages. Has a cow ever done one mean thing to you?
By supporting cow slaughter, you are forbidding a calf of its mother's love and care. From locking animals in tiny cages, to slicing parts of their bodies off, to genetically selecting them to grow so obese and so fast that many become lame, it’s by far the biggest cause of animal suffering in the world.
It’s sometimes so easy to forget that the steak on your plate was part of a living creature. But the path from livestock to entrée can be fraught with unbelievable animal cruelty. Leaving cows and other animals off your plate is easier than ever. You can now get tasty veggie burgers at numerous restaurants, including Burger King, Johnny Rockets, McDonalds and Ruby Tuesday.
Can't we eat cruelty-free, non-violent food ?
You can say many other food items are also bad. But here the question is not about other items, it is about beef. Other foods are equally bad and not beneficial for human beings is not a valid argument to substantiate beef eating.
And, I am not buying any argument that human can eat beef. As I know we are descended from apes. Their diets consist of nuts, fruits and berries. There is nothing in the human anatomy that endows us to kill other animals with our bare hands (like other animals do) without assistance from weapons. (http://udaypai.in/?p=8 ) Ask yourself - when you see a cow on the side of the road, do you salivate? Do you daydream about killing a cow with your bare hands and eating them raw?
The Bible compares the killing of cow to murdering a man: “He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man.” (Isaiah 66.3)
Albert Einstein said: "Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
The Worldwatch Institute says, “In a world where an estimated one in every six people goes hungry each day, the politics of meat consumption are increasingly heated, since meat production is an inefficient use of grain—the grain is used more efficiently when consumed directly by humans. Continued growth in meat output is dependent on feeding grain to animals, creating competition for grain between affluent meat-eaters and the world’s poor.”

HINDU TEMPLES ARE ROOTS OF SANATAN DHARMA

Are Hindu temples anti-Sanatan Dharma?
Harindran Nair and his friend came to visit me after reading my article on 'Ancient Hindu temples - Some incredible facts' (http://udaypai.in/?p=598). They were agitated young Hindus who want to form sort of association to protect Hindus and Temples in India. Existing Hindu organizations have gone soft, they say.
"Hari - what's it that you want to save? Sanatan Dharma, Hinduism, Temples or Hindus?" I asked.
"Brother, our temples have been the center point of Hinduism and all Hindus for thousands of years, so we have to consolidate all Hindus under each temple...”
"Hmmm - I have confusion here. You said all Hindus."
"Yes - everybody - all castes..." he said, "because we only consider this land as Punyabhoomi (sacred land)"
"Hari, have you heard of Gandhiji's Vaikom temple entry Satyagraha and subsequent the historic Temple Entry Proclamation signed by Maharajah of Travancore on November 12, 1936? Till then, lower caste Hindus were not allowed inside the temples. That means, nearly 70 % of population was not allowed to go inside ancient temples. Are they not Hindus? And what about atheists and nastiks? They are also Hindus. So, how can temples represent all Hindus?"
Their face became red. "Don't you go to temple? Are you not supporting temples? Don't you know its significance? There are various scientific reasons and facts behind going to temples. All modern scientists proclaim the science behind temple construction..."
"Hari, I go to temple, all temples - that's our tradition. I love it. But I don't need any scientific backing to follow my tradition of going to temple. I don't need neo-modernists approval for my temple visit. Even if it is termed as superstition, I will continue going to temple..."
"Then why are you not in favour of consolidation of Hindus under temples?"
"Your idea is just opposite to Sanatan Dharma and you are imitating Semitic concepts, that's why"
"I don't understand...."
"Simply put, Sanatan Dharma is all about following of Shodasha Samskaras (16 rituals or sacraments) and Varnashrama-dharma (duties performed according to the system of four varnas -social divisions - and four ashrams -stages in life. The temple visit is not mandatory anywhere"
On the contrary, in Semitic religions you MUST go to Church or Mosques and your life thus get bonded to those institutionalized religion...Your birth, marriage and death are related to those institutions.
For us, it is just the other way around. If somebody is born or died in your house, you are not supposed to enter the temple for 7-14 days depending upon the Varna that you follow. Today, people imitate Semitic concepts and conduct marriages in temples. Our ancestors maintained marriage as was a family-community function. Today, temples allow marriages inside the premises, as this would fetch extra revenue.
Semitic god's abodes are prayer halls. Our temples were never ever made for prayers. Only one or two priest can hardly enter into sanctum sanctorum (garbha griha). There is no space for more than 2-3 people to stand in front of this sacred enclave. Temple is NOT a prayer hall.
Puranas say that those who wanted to please any god, went to forest for deep meditation or penance (not to temple) hence the god would make appearance and grant them boon.
Take for instance any rituals (havan, yajna, homam or yagam), we don't keep god's idol there. When you perform Ganapathy homam (ritual to please the god), you invoke (Avahanam) the divine powers that removes obstacles and after the pooja we do disperse (visarjan) that power. There was no temple pooja in any of our traditional ceremonies - be it upanayana (sacred thread ceremony of all Varnas) or wedding or house warming, whatever... In short, temple had less or no relevance in sanatan dharma.
Our Dharma sees divinity in each and every thing in this universe. The entire universe is indwelt, enveloped, covered by the Supreme Being (Ishaavaasyam idam sarvam). God is not confined in a temple.
"Then why are temples for? Why did you say you are temple follower?"
"Kshetra means field or sphere of action. Bharat Kshetra means the divine field named India. Kuru Kshetra is the field where Mahabharata War was fought. India was divided into many Kshetras - Jagannatha kshetra (Odisha), Bhaskara kshetra (Karnataka), Parasurama kshetra (Keralam), Sri Rama kshetra (Tamil Nadu), Sreenivasa kshetra (Andhra Pradesh), Mumbadevi Kshetra (Maharashtra), Vanga (Bongo) Kshetra (West Bengal) etc. . . .”
"Oh...I didn't know that..."
"Please try to learn before making sweeping statement about temples and Dharma. Our ancestors lived peacefully in villages observing Varnashrama Dharma. You can't and never will find such perfect system of way of life for human beings in this universe. Those who learnt would agree that. There was equal respect for all Varnas. They didn't want to consolidate powers into people with vested interest. So they had established the concept of Grama devatha (Village Deity) in each village. They declared the village belonging to Grama devatha. (This system was later destroyed by the British. But even today, legally entire land belongs to the deity - The deity is a juristic perpetual minor)
The land and its contents were belonged to the Grama devatha who was the presiding deity or guardian deity (patron deity) in Hindu villages, towns and cities. The villagers were totally surrendered to the deity and do their respective jobs without any expectations (Nishkama Karma). There was no exploitation or selfishness. The village king would be a slave of the devatha (For instance, Adiyen, Ramanuja Dasan).
The best of first agriculture produce would be submitted to the deity. (Today, I have seen people buy the smallest, cheapest coconut to break in the Ganapathy temple. They also put soiled currency notes in Bhandara)
The entire wealth of the village was stored in the temple as gems, jewelry etc. (this was the soft target for invaders from the Middle East).
According to ancient travellers to India, they were all living happily, peacefully and healthy (Remember the average longevity during Vedic times was 120years!). So there could be NO social system that can be better than this. During the period of Krishnadevaraya regime, gems were openly sold in heaps, on the roadside. So you can imagine how much rich our ancestors were.
"That means, though purpose was different temples..."
"Yes - its purpose was totally different. It was not for prayer and worship the way we do it now. Do you know the significance of idols of those deities?"
"Yes, I know, it was concentrated energy centre and radiate energy to the devotees" Hari's friend said.
"I don't know about such energies...May be science is not yet developed...But those idols were most powerful, but for different reasons...Those were not just idols!"
"What?"
"Those idols (Vigraham) of the dieties were made up of unique and sacred combination of Panchaloham (five metals), Sapthaloham (Seven metals) and Navapashanam (an amalgam of nine poisons). All of them have unbelievable medicinal values! In some places, they had used very special stones (Sila) like Anjana, Saligrama, Dvararvati etc make idols."
For instance, the idol of the Lord Muruga in Palani and idol of Ayyappa in Sabrimala were made up of navapashanam. When they perform Abhisheka (ritual of pouring) on the idol with milk or ghee, the outcome would be rare Ayurveda specialty medicine. And I remember a priest saying, during full moon day (Pournami), Navapashanam idols would sweat as if it is a human! (In 1950 a mysterious fire broke to destroy the Sabarimala temple and the original idol is vanished. Nobody knows who stole the idol.)
"So whenever you hear that temple celebrates its Puna Prathista ( Idol- re-installation) - be it known to you that the sacred idol is going abroad and new marble and granite statue will take its place. Given a choice, what will you do - protect those ancient temples and help building new concrete structure with marble statue in it which has no relevance to Sanatan Dharma?"
"We didn't know this much details..." Hari said.
According to independent historians thousands of temples are destroyed by invaders and evalangalist to steal wealth and sacred idols (Some put the count to 125,000).
"Why was majority not allowed inside the temple?" his friend asked.
"Temples didn't have any space inside to contain the public - it was not a public prayer hall. In fact, only less than one percent of Brahmins were allowed inside the Garba Griha. And only poorest Brahmins would go for pooja till 1970s. Because, the only remuneration for a temple priest was mostly just one time food. (Now, priests are rich) So, only person who perform everyday pooja and the king who kept the entire wealth inside the temple were among those few who need to go inside. Others had no business there..."
Some temples had mandap (pillar hall) for art performance and Vedic or other skills learning - those who were doing it also can go in. Are you admitted to any buildings without permission? So, why do you single out temples? There was huge ground outside the temple where everybody can play and celebrate festivals. Just like any ideologies or concepts, this system may have mis-used by people with vested interests.
"So, you mean to say there is no energy or miracles inside the temple?" his friend repeated the question.
Some people claim there are mysterious powers in these temples. Others say, it has some sort of positive energy - I don't know about both. But I also can make true claim of miracles that happened in life by performing poojas in a temple - I can vouch it as it is my personal experience. But individual experiences are not an empirical evidence for science. A more plausible explanation is that temple provides psychological security.
However, such mysterious power or energies (if exists) come with huge responsibility. The priest should perform all rituals and customs based on the sacred scriptures, for which he needs to have purity of body, mind and self, sattvik in nature and keep the quality of karma. The chief priest of a famous temple went on record admitting to the High Court that he doesn't even know Sanskrit!
It is said: 'Archakasya prabhavena sila bhavathi sankara, Archakasya aprabhavena siva bhavati sila' (Even a stone becomes god by dedicated rituals done by a priest. And by improper rituals, even the god itself will become a stone)
The enemies of Sanatan Dharma are traders and illegal brokers - those who built or convert temples into cut-throat business centres. They are driving the gods out of the temple. "Do you want to consolidate Hindus under those crooks?" I asked him.
The only way to protect our temple culture is to create awareness among the public (irrespective of caste and religions) regarding the importance of Sanatan Dharma and Grama Devathas. Let the powerful Grama Devathas be back. Let out land be a heaven and punya bhoomi

A Story from Panchatantra similar to the present story of Delhi

'Long ago, there lived a cunning  jackal. One day, driven by hunger, he strayed into a village in search of food. On seeing him, a group of dogs ran after him.

Terrified, he dashed into the house of a dyer and accidentally fell into a tub of blue dye. The jackal was stained blue from head to toe.

Later, when he got back to the jungle, all the animals stared at him in shock. They had never seen such a strange and beautiful animal before. Seeing everyone confused, the jackal thought of an idea.

He proclaimed that he was sent to rule over the animal kingdom and guard its animals. The animals fell for it and proclaimed him king.

The jackal, as king, then appointed the lion as his advisor, the tiger as his guardian, and the elephant as his doorkeeper. But, his work was not done.

For fear of being recognized, he drove all the jackals out of the forest. The new king then ordered his subjects to hunt for him and do his bidding. The animals used to bring all kinds of fruit and meat for him and the blue king lived a life of luxury.

One day, as the blue king was enjoying himself, a pack of jackals passed by and began howling. Unable to control his natural instinct, the blue king rose up and howled to glory.

Hearing his cry, the jungle animals realized that they had been fooled. At once, they chased the traitor out of the forest and the cunning jackal never returned again.

Archaeological Excavations prove veracity of Mahabharata War around

Archaeological Excavations prove veracity of Mahabharata War 
**********************************************************************
Kurukshetra is the place where the epic Mahabharata war fought for 18 days, more than >25000 years ago.Bhagavadgeetha describes Kurukshetra as ‘Dharmakshetra‘ – a place where ‘Dharma‘ is restored.The location of the battle was Kurukshetra in the modern state of Haryana in India.
The battle was fought for throne of Hastinapur, which is now located between Meerut and Mawana in uttar Pradesh and is now a forgotten village, but excavations in 1952, revealed the existence of vidurka – tilla (vidura’s palace), Draupadi – ki – rasoi (Draupadi’s Kitchen) and Draupadi Ghat, along with copper utensils, iron seals, Ornaments made of gold and silver, terracotta discs and several oblong shaped ivory dice used in the game of chauper (ancient game in which Duryodhana, with help of his maternal uncle Sakuni, defeated Yudhishtir and sent his brothers along with Draupadi to forest exile for 13 years).
Hastinapur’s Sankrit name suggests that it embodies the might of elephants (Hasti = Elephant).Hastinapur is styled around the elephant motif, a fortified, heavy ominous dark stoned capital.In archaeological excavations around hastinapur, about 135 iron objects which included arrow and spearheads, shafts, tongs, hooks, axes, and knives were found, which indicate the existence of a vigorous iron industry.
There are indications of brick – lined roads and drainage systems, and an agro – livestock based economy. The painted grey ware (PGW) of Hastinapura has been assigned to 2800 BCE and beyond.

According to the Matsya and vayu puranas a heavy flood on the river Ganga destroyed Hastinapur and Nichakshu, the fifth king after parikshit (Arjuna’s grand son) who ascended the throne after kurukshetra war, shifted his capital to kausambi, 50 kilomters from prayagraj.Evidence of devastation by the Ganga is still visible in the thick clay soil.
Excavations in Kurukshetra, now in Haryana, yielded iron arrow and spearheads dated by Thermoluminence Test to 3100 BCE.Sage Veda Vyas also mentions in Mahabharata about usage of atomic weapons from both sides killing millions of soldiers and kings within 18 days.Present excavations at kurukshetra find that the stones at that place were exposed to radioactive energy thousands of years ago.
The site of drowned Dwaraka near Cambay,Gujarat’s seashore (at present Dwaraka) also has artifacts dating back to >5000 years old.

LUCKNOW was Lakshmanpur

'Lucknow carries a name after Lakshman as Lakshmanpura

The Lucknow city was named as Lakshmanpura after the younger brother of Rama. Till 11th century the area was known as Lakhanpur/Lakshmanpur. [1,2] The other names during the process of time were Lakhanvati, then Lakhauti and finally Lakhnau.[3] The legends states that Ramchandra of Ayodhya, the hero of the Ramayana, gifted the territory of Lucknow to his devoted brother Lakshman after he had conquered Lanka and completed his term of exile in the jungle. Therefore, the original name of Lucknow was Lakshmanpur, popularly known as Lakhanpur or Lachmanpur where Lakshman had a beautiful palace. Lakshman Tila, a place in lucknow still exist. So large was Ayodhya that the city of Lakshmanpur was described as its suburb. The area is among the most ancient Vedic cities. 

After 1350, Lucknow and other parts of Awadh region were ruled by the Delhi Sultanate, Sharqi Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Nawabs of Awadh, the British East India Company (EIC) and the British Raj.  The name of Awadh (Aoudh) is derived from Ayodhya. In ancient period, Ayodhya was the capital Kosal Province. [4] Dakshina (Southern) Kosala was stretched till current Odisha region. The Kosala Kingdom was ruled by the Ikshvaku kings, who were famous for their conquests and the protection of Dharma. The last important king of Kosala was Prasenjit.

वेद में गौमाँस भक्षण का स्पष्ट विरोध, Beef forbidden in VEDAS

 वेद में गौमाँस भक्षण का स्पष्ट विरोध
ऋग्वेद 8.101.15– मैं समझदार मनुष्य को कहे देता हूँ की तू बेचारी बेकसूर गाय की हत्या मत करना, वह अदिति हैं अर्थात काटने- चीरने योग्य नहीं हैं.
ऋग्वेद 8.101.16– मनुष्य अल्पबुद्धि होकर गाय को मारे कांटे नहीं.
अथर्ववेद 10.1.27–तू हमारे गाय, घोड़े और पुरुष को मत मार.
अथर्ववेद 12.4.38 -जो(वृद्ध) गाय को घर में पकाता हैं उसके पुत्र मर जाते हैं.
ऋग्वेद 6.28.4–गायें वधालय में न जाये
अथर्ववेद 8.3.24–जो गोहत्या करके गाय के दूध से लोगो को वंचित करे, राजा तलवार से उसका सर काट दे

ऐसे में मीडिया वाले भारत विरोधी प्रचार का झंडा हमेशा क्यों उठाये रहते है और
क्यों विदेशी मजहबों की गुलामी करते है ये समझ नहीं आता ।
