People say 4000 years ago some say 5k some say 7 which more correct??

So for the last 2 years I have been through different diseases that range for months. Once a disease gets cured after a few weeks, another takes its place.

I started my upasana of chanting Hanuman Chalisa 2.5 years back and haven't stopped a day. In the last 2 years, I have got everything I wanted. A good paying job with great company culture, a girl who is spiritually inclined and loved by my parents, friends for a lifetime. In short, I have everything that an Indian middle class boy could ask for. But these diseases don't let me enjoy my life to my fullest.

When it happened earlier, I used to think it was because I wanted things for myself and Hanumanji is clearing out the bad karma from my life. Now, I don't want anything more, why doesn't it stop.

Now some people will say that this is just your bad karma and you have to go through it and I get that. The thing is that it has been happening for so long that it's just frustrating at this point.

I want to reduce my frustration but everytime a new challenge is thrown at me. I have been reading Hanuman Bahuk for the last 1.5 years yet it just doesn't stop.

Is there any way that I don't get affected by it so much? I have brought calmness at different parts of my life and I have made peace with some of my lifelong diseases. Just when I get used to one disease, a new one punches my face. I just don't know how to calm my mind like a yogi. Can anyone help?

Why does God value our adoration so much? In most religions it is somehow described that one should not be much affected by the things around you and just align yourself to the worship and praise of God, through good will or good actions or by prayer or meditation.

I get the purpose of goodwill and good actions as it benefits the environment of the person and creates a more harmonious society, but I question to why God is keen on our attention

I am not sure if it was a real experience or if I was hallucinating, but I saw a blue-skinned figure with long black hair and golden jewelry sitting at the corner of my bed and watching me with a peaceful smile. Her upper body was slightly turned towards me. Her posture looked calm and alert, as if she was waiting for me to wake up.

I woke up, saw her and fell asleep again.

Does anyone know what this could mean? Has it happened to you before?

As a European without any ties to Hinduism, I don't want to offend anyone. Please correct me if I said something offensive or used wrong terms.

I frequently imagine my isht Dev and me lying in a calm forest or dancing or swinging in an enchanted garden. I feel calm and peace thinking about it. Is it stupidity?

According to Panini, Shudras included all those who had skills (crafts, labor, artisanal work, and practical skills.).

(Hence, most of the architecture of India we admire today was built by them, of course theoretical/principle framework might be provided by Brahmins.)

Shudras were classified into two subgroups: 1. Aniravasita (not excluded from society) 2. Niravasita (excluded from society)

I think this exclusion was mostly profession related.

It is possible that the so-called Dalits were Shudras as well.

Can separated girls (not yet divorced), widows, married women, or women in general touch shiv ling ji ? Why or why not..

I just lost my dad a year+ ago n my uncle stopped my mom from doing so. I am 33yrs of age, no one has ever stopped us but I can't say I go daily but I truly want to understand the theory behind this now considering there are so many videos n photos circulating of women or couples hugging the shivlingam during abhishekam

Bowing to the Purushottam of this universe, amongst all months, the refuge of the rejected, the one who accepted what the world discarded : Shri Mahavishnu … Shri Ganeshaaye Namah.

Among all concepts in Sanatan Dharma, perhaps Adhik Maas is one of the most well known topics for people of previous gen. People casually translate it as “extra month” and move on, without realising that hidden inside this concept is can be used for mere increasing the punya only ..or may be something more

. This post will talk about the month in a very unusual OC way that may be offensive and controversial but it's needed. We all know all types of bhakti and daan punya jaap is a lot more worth in this hindu month. We know so many donations of things used in summer like water , fruits , umbrella, shade , dairy etc is a lot more valuable

. Anybody can look up it's value on YouTube. There are good videos from Rajendra Das Ji , Tulsi Tapovan Channel, Devki nandan ji , premanand ji ..but below is my take also. Time will fail me if I quantify it.

Part 1

Astronomically, the lunar and solar calendars slowly drift apart. To restore alignment and balance, an additional month is inserted into the cycle. Thus comes Adhik Maas.This month was once neglected and considered inauspicious for major worldly celebrations. It was called Mala Maas : the discarded month, the unwanted month, the month nobody wanted association with. No deity accepted rulership over it. No prestige was attached to it. It stood isolated.

And perhaps this is where Sanatan Dharma quietly reveals one of its deepest truths.

The rejected month approached Bhagwan Vishnu in sorrow. And it is said that Mahavishnu himself accepted this abandoned month, gave it shelter, dignity and his own name :

Purushottam Maas.

Understand the magnitude of this symbolism carefully before reading further. If the court of the lord was filled with only good souls, his court would be empty coz heavens will be fulfilling. His name is karuna nidhaan. He forgives also, yet never forgets.

The month which the world looked down upon became associated with the Supreme Himself.

The abandoned became sacred.

The ignored became exalted.

The rejected found refuge in Bhagwan himself.

Please look around and see .... many people today secretly live exactly like Adhik Maas.

Feeling unwanted. (Me)

Behind in life. (Me)

Discarded.

Emotionally isolated.

Spiritually exhausted.

Useful only when productive.

Loved only when successful.

Seen only when performing.

And perhaps this month exists to remind humanity:

What society ignores is not automatically abandoned by God.

But now comes the harder part in my eyes.

Modern society understands only one type of “adhik” :

more.

More salary.

More status.

More followers.

More networking.

More beauty.

More validation.

More consumption.

More possessions.

More influence.

More control.

More stimulation.

More noise.

More proof that “I matter.”

There is nothing wrong with desires of material gain and prosperity - our own dharma needs artha. But when the motive is just artha - that's problematic. Entire civilizations today are running on endless psychological hunger disguised as ambition. Sure we must work for and on selves but we must take the greater good of mankind too

Nobody knows how to stop anymore. May be this month can help.

Human beings today are consuming information faster than wisdom can process it, consuming pleasure faster than the nervous system can regulate it, consuming relationships faster than emotional depth can develop, consuming desires faster than gratitude can stabilize the mind.

Everybody wants expansion. Very few want burden of the expansion that comes with it. The crown 👑 always takes a toll.

And perhaps the saddest part of modern life is this :

Human beings no longer know how to simply exist with themselves.

We know how to consume.

Consume content.

Consume noise.

Consume people.

Consume pleasure.

Consume outrage.

Consume stimulation.

Consume spirituality itself like fast food.

But quietly, slowly, dangerously … we have forgotten how to just sit with our own soul without distraction.

People cannot eat without screens anymore. (Me)

Cannot sleep without noise. (Me)

Cannot travel without headphones. (Me)

Cannot pray without checking notifications.

Cannot sit in silence for ten minutes without reaching for dopamine.

Cannot process grief without posting about it.

Cannot experience loneliness without immediately escaping into reels, gossip, porn, work, shopping, validation or artificial connection.

And then people wonder why inner peace feels impossible.

I think because the nervous system was never designed for this level of constant psychological invasion.

Modern civilization has made overstimulation look normal and inner stillness look abnormal.

The result?

Millions of people who are externally functional but internally collapsing.

Successful but emotionally dead.

Connected to thousands but unable to trust even one person fully.

Married but lonely.

Rich but unable to sleep peacefully.

Religious publicly but spiritually hollow privately.

Laughing in groups but silently exhausted when alone.

And perhaps this is the real disease Adhik Maas is trying to expose ... That the adhik is phalit (useful and realised) only when your foundation is solid and good. Only when you are solid. only when you have the spine to judge urself as the SUM TOTAL OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE. Not just by what you earn , own or lack ..

Not lack of success.

Not lack of relationship.

Not lack of achievement.

Part2

But lack of relationship with self. Why we think adhik means external excess only and not self improvement?????

This is exactly where Adhik Maas becomes terrifyingly relevant in my eyes for all us today

Because while modern humans obsess over what becomes “adhik” outside them, almost nobody pauses to examine what is becoming “adhik” inside them.

Is my anger becoming adhik?

My ego?

My greed?

My lust?

My dishonesty?

My jealousy?

My emotional numbness?

My addiction to stimulation?

My cowardice?

My selfishness?

My inability to sit silently with myself?

My habit of using people emotionally while pretending to love them?

My tendency to consume everything and contribute nothing?

Or…

Is my patience becoming adhik?

My empathy?

My loyalty?

My discipline?

My humility?

My courage to stand for truth?

My gratitude?

My ability to forgive?

My ability to control rage?

My ability to help without advertisement?

My ability to sit with another human being’s pain without turning it into gossip?

My ability to spread light wherever darkness exists?

Because eventually one horrifying truth becomes visible :

Whatever becomes adhik inside a human being eventually shapes destiny outside.

A man does not collapse suddenly.

Poison simply became adhik slowly.

A family does not break suddenly.

Neglect became adhik slowly.

A society does not decay suddenly.

Hypocrisy became adhik slowly.

And similarly, no saint becomes luminous overnight either.

Bhakti becomes adhik slowly.

Seva becomes adhik slowly.

Satya becomes adhik slowly.

Tapasya becomes adhik slowly.

People keep saying:

“Later I will rest.”

“Later I will heal.”

“Later I will pray properly.”

“Later I will repair my marriage.”

“Later I will apologize.”

“Later I will spend time with parents.”

“Later I will become spiritually serious.”

“Later I will become emotionally healthy.”

Sure, we all do it ... But keep in mind that t life is not standing still while you postpone yourself.

Your parents are aging meanwhile.

Your body is aging meanwhile.

Your nervous system is hardening meanwhile.

Your habits are becoming destiny meanwhile.

Your children are learning from your emotional patterns meanwhile.

And death is still walking towards everybody silently meanwhile. For you and me. It can't be avoided, like thanos.

This is why Adhik Maas feels so spiritually heavy to many people.

One day “later” ends.

And perhaps this is why our traditions place such enormous importance on naam jaap, daan, satvikta, Bhagavad Gita, Vishnu Sahasranama, Ekadashi, introspection, restraint and simplicity during this month.

Not because Bhagwan needs rituals. Humans do.

This month is almost like a divine multiplier for karma and consciousness itself. A spiritual acceleration zone.

Almost like existence saying:

“If you genuinely wish to change direction, I will amplify your effort.”

Will you , will i ? The cheat code has been activated. Your one effort will be worth 10 in terms of punya. the same move suddenly gives thousand times more experience points.

The same mantra.

The same daan.

The same prayer.

The same attempt to control anger.

The same effort to forgive.

The same attempt to wake early.

The same effort to reduce lust.

The same effort to help somebody quietly.

The same act of feeding someone hungry.

The same genuine apology.

The same hour of naam jaap.

But will we do it ? Is it easier to donate money and food rather sit withself and do our own manthan to find out demons and vishh ?

This is also why many texts place restrictions and disciplines during Adhik Maas. There are specific avoidances, behavioural codes, dietary disciplines and sankalpas mentioned deeply within Purushottam Maas Mahatmya and related kathas.

And if one takes sankalp properly, those maryadas should absolutely be respected seriously and not treated casually. Discipline gives structure to consciousness.

But beyond all rules, perhaps the deepest hidden teaching of Adhik Maas is this fr me :

Human life cannot survive on endless expansion alone.

Even machines require maintenance.

Even fields require resting seasons.

Even rivers require cleansing.

Even the body requires sleep.

Then why does modern man think the soul can survive endless stimulation without spiritual repair?

People today want:

better careers,

better relationships,

better bodies,

better luck,

better mental health,

better children,

better marriages,

better destiny.

And that's good.

But almost nobody asks:

“Am I becoming internally capable of holding these blessings without corrupting them? While I want more .. is my utensil to hold the old safe ???

Because wealth without emotional maturity becomes arrogance.

Power without ethics becomes oppression.

Pleasure without restraint becomes addiction.

Knowledge without humility becomes ego.

Freedom without discipline becomes self-destruction.

And perhaps if Atma is truly eternal…

if every atom truly contains Mahavishnu…

if consciousness itself is divine in origin…

then the dharma of a human being cannot merely be survival and consumption.

It must also be contribution. To light and hope in this world. To positivity. To gyaan. To bhakti. To society.

In this world filled with blood, bone, greed, doom, loneliness, comparison, emotional starvation and silent suffering…

one extra act of kindness matters.

One extra hungry person fed matters.

One extra moment of patience matters.

One extra apology matters.

One extra attempt to understand somebody’s pain matters.

One extra effort to control lust and ego matters.

One extra effort to remain loyal to spouse, family, nation, principles and dharma matters.

One extra diya of hope lit in somebody’s darkness matters.

That too is Adhik.

And perhaps that is the real hidden meaning of Purushottam Maas :

Before demanding more from the world,

become more worthy internally first.

And may be in this journey... We can find that truly good .. the daivatva .. the divine in us .. and may be there lies the real key to peace .. and the real key to be in the path of becoming .... Or meeting the purushottam - the best among all ...

Ofcourse this is my own opinion and interpretation about this holy time window. I see hollowness around me when I see dharma today. In houses and temples.

So this was from the eternal hollowness that I have inside me ... May be somewhere there in that blackhole darkness .. someday may be prabhu will come and light the eternal lamp in it so my soul can find it's way back home at his lotus feet

Please use this month and do good deeds

Sitaram 🌞🦋✨

So my sister converted to be a Muslim. We talked a lot about what happens after we die. She believes she will go to heaven. I thought the idea of heaven and hell sounds ridiculous. I said I follow Sadh.guru who speaks about rebirth and nirvana or mukti. She said that sounds just as ridiculous as believing in heaven and hell.

What do you think? Anyways believing in either thing is just a belief. But what sounds more ridiculous to you? In Muslim heaven you are 33 years old for eternity. You can only do good things and you will be with all your loved ones who also made it to heaven. I also heard something about a river of wine and virgins. So what will you do in heaven? Just drink wine, make love all day and be with your loved ones for eternity. Who could do that for eternity? I mean eternity?? A million years. A billion years. Sounds ridiculous to me.

Is it just Atman = Brahman?
