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...

OM: The Sound of Creation

Ever thought about it…What was there when there was no Creation? Imagine a time when there was no time. Time too was created. After time came OM in the form of Dhwani, sound. Creation began with the sound of Om. From Om emerged all sounds, which further manifested into the dimension of colours and the five elements. The reverse process—from elements to colours to sounds to the eternal Om, opens doorways to the shaktis of Creation. The closer a shakti is to Creation, the closer is its sound to the eternal Om.  A Western University recorded the sound of the SUN and found it to be a continuous loop of unending Oms. “And Sun powers all life on earth. Also, Sun has no religion.” Manifestation of OM  in a vedic havan performed by Dhyan Foundation volunteers  Now to get an experience of OM you can... Look up the night sky, fix your gaze at any one point and without shifting your gaze start rotating from right to left. After a while stop, close your ey...

The Solar Secret of Cells

Isn’t it amazing to see that even teenagers today are suffering from premature graying and resorting to lacing their bodies with chemical-based cosmetics in a bid to make their face glow and hair shine? On the other hand, our rishis of yore not only had a great physique but also had glowing complexions, shiny mane and a healthy body till the very end; they did not age. What was it that they did, that was so different? Had they found the fountain of youth? In truth they simply understood the principles that govern the creation. The good news is that they have left this reservoir of gyan on anti-ageing in the form of yogic techniques like the Sanatan Kriya , the practice of which brings a being in harmony with nature. To understand the process of ageing, we must start from the cell. The body (during its inception) for the first half-an-hour is just one cell; so actually all of us in those 30 minutes are just one cell and then that one cell multiplies forming the whole body. H...

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...
