Decoding Makar Sankranti

Our entire life is linked to two energies – that of the sun (surya) and of the moon (chandra). Surya is the devta of gyan. Its shakti is Gayatri ji, the source of all other shaktis in Creation. Sanatan Kriya details the Surya sadhna, through which one experiences the energy of the sun and its true character is revealed to the practitioner. For general understanding, it is enough to know that the sun is closely linked to our lives. The importance of sun can be gauged to an extent from the role it plays in the physical creation – plants use sunlight to make food and in turn provide nourishment to all beings on earth, the water cycle, the winds, the ocean currents all are regulated by the heating effect of the sun, the planets are held in their respective orbits because of the attraction of the sun, it is sun that brings the change in day and season. Having studied the sun for many years now, I can say with certainty that Surya sadhna is a highly potent practice, which if perf...

मकर संक्रान्ति पर विशेष

सूर्य जब एक नक्षत्र मंडल से दूसरे नक्षत्र मंडल में प्रवेश करता है, तो उस संचलन को संस्कृत में संक्रान्ति कहते हैं। मकर संक्रान्ति से तातपर्य है मकर राशि में सूर्य का प्रवेश। सदियों से हमारे पूर्वज सृष्टि की बारीकियों से परिचित थे। उन्हें तारों और ग्रहों की गति, आकार, माप व् उनके स्थान आदि का सूक्ष्म ज्ञान था। उनके द्वारा,एक वर्ष में बारह संक्रांतियों का अवलोकन इस तथ्य का सबसे उपयुक्त उदाहरण है। वह इन ग्रहों और नक्षत्रों की शक्ति व् उनकी संक्रान्ति से होने वाले ऊर्जा पैटर्न के बदलाव तथा उससे सृष्टि में होने वाले प्रभावों से भली – भांति परिचित थे। सूर्य एक शक्ति है, जो विशेषकर पृथ्वी के प्राणियों के लिए अत्यधिक महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि जीवन तो उन्हीं से संभव है। वह ज्ञान के देवता हैं। इसी कारण ऋषि – मुनि सूर्य का अनुसरण करते थे। उनमें सूर्य जैसा तेज़ दमकता था और वह सूर्य तुलनीय शक्तियों से ओत – प्रोत थे। गीता भी यही कहती है कि आप जिसका अनुसरण करते हैं, वैसे ही हो जाते हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, सूर्य साधक महर्षि विश्वामित्र ने गायत्री महामंत्र से एक समानांतर ब्रह्माण्ड की संरचना कर दी थ...

Importance of Makar Sankranti

The Sanskrit term ‘sankranti’ translates as ‘transference’ and is used to indicate the movement of sun from one constellation to the next through the year…Our ancients had known the nuances of creation, the motion of sun and the planets, shape, size and location of various heavenly bodies millennia ago. The observance of twelve sankrantis in a year is an apt example. What our ancients also knew, and what majority has forgotten, is the science of energy, the shakti of the various heavenly bodies and the changes in energy pattern of creation as they underwent transition. Sun or Surya, is a shakti, which is of especial importance to the dwellers of earth. It is the energy, which sustains life on the planet, something which is uncontested by modern science. The brilliance of the sun is an experience which each one of us has had, so brilliant that it is not possible to look at the bright sun with naked eye. The rishis of yore followed the sun. Gita says, you become what you follow. An...

Longer Brighter days with Makara Sankranti

"Surya is the devta of jnana, of infinite knowledge and secrets of Creation. He is the Guru of Hanuman and the progenitor of the Suryavansha, in which were born heroes like King Bhagirath, King Raghu and Lord Rama.Surya existed before religion, and provides heat and light to every entity on earth irrespective of their religion, race or birth. The Sun knows no religion. Interestingly , a western u niversity recorded the sound of the Sun and found that the sound it emits closely resembles the sound of Aum, the primordial chant. It is sound which manifests as colours which further manifest into the five elements that constitute everything in physical creation. Rishis of Bharatvarsha, tapped into the sound of Creation and thousands of years ago, gave us the mantra Aum. #MakarSankranti  was of special significance in the ancient world, for it corresponded with the onset of the apparent northward movement of the sun ­ uttarayan, in Sanskrit. That it is no superstition is evident fr...

Simultaneous Yagyas worlwide on the occasion of Makar Sankranti

Makar Sankranti marks the day when sun appears to enter the zodiac of makar (Capricorn). Traditionally, the day coincided with the northward movement of sun having reached its southern most point, the phenomenon known as uttarayan in vedic philosophy. It was an extremely potent day, marking a transition in energy. According to vedic tradition the six months of uttarayana are a single day of the gods; the six months of dakshinayana are a single night of the gods. In Mahabharata, Bheeshma Pitamaha, chose to leave his body for the heavenly abode on it this day since it marks the onset of auspicious time. On the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti Dhyan Foundation organises Simultaneous Yagyas worldwide on 14th Jan, 6pm onwards.
