Ancient History: Eight Chiranjivi, Sapt-Rishi, Seven Prajapati & Holy Rivers

  Eight Chiranjivi (Immortals):  1) अश्वस्थामा Aswasthama, 2) परशुराम Parshuram, 3) श्री हनुमान Shri Hanuman, 4) वेदव्यास Vedvyas, 5) विभीषण Vibhishan, 6) कृपाचार्य Krapacharya, 7) बलि Bali, and 8) मार्केण्डय Markandey. They were made Chiranjivi either by curse or by blessings, or to fulfil some special purpose. Once I read in one of Pilot Baba books, in which he met to Aswasthama, and Aswasthama told him about Kripacharya. They live another subtle level, as a human has five bodies (1 Annamayakosha, 2 Pranmayakosha, 3 Manomayakosha, 4 Gyanmayakosha, 5 Anandmaya kosha), normal human awareness and manipulation exists at level 1 that is Annamayakosha, Food-body in English. I hope there are lots of immortals than just eight, and their numbers no-one knows. Sapt-Rishi:  1) देवर्षि Devarshi, 2) ब्रह्मऋषि Brahmrishi, 3) महर्षि Maharishi, 4) परमऋषि Paramrishi, 5) राजऋषि Rajrishi, 6) कांडर्षी Kandarishi, 7) श्रुतऋषि Shrutarishi. There are seven stars in sky, they are said to be th...

History Of Indian Currency Rupee

 In my childhood, I saw the Indian Currency Coins which had holes inside them — that time they were demonetized, I think; but few were as a memorial of ancient days when my Nana and Nani had lived. In their times, Paper Currency came, and people thought money lost its significance 'coz Paper Currency had come in market. Around 8-10 years back, in Delhi, I saw people sitting on footpath selling old Currency Coins in high price. I don't know if they are still doing the same thing. Few people love collecting old or out-of-market things. Few Currency Coins that I had were called "Aadha Paisa, Pona Paisa something", they were lost. I'm not at all good in collecting things.

A Woman Who Saved Many Lives

 This is an interesting story, how she didn't care about her life but tried to save as many lives as she could. I think, somebody should make a movie on this story something like " Schindler's List. " Salute to this woman. If we all turn like her, providing selfless service and sensitive to humanity — this world will become a better place.

Shukra (Venus) Shiva Story

 Name of Venus is Shukra, and Shukra is also called “semen.” When Venus shines brightly at early night and early morning, a man feels more vigorous and amorous. Full name of Shukra is Shukracharya, semen is connected with him ‘coz once lord Shiva swallowed him and he came out via “semen.” Sun is also known as a sign of lord Shiva, and in his association Venus eventually disappears (swallowed by) and it happens regularly. So, Venus keeps on appearing and disappearing.

Three Arrows Of Barbareek & Lord Krishna

 Goddess Durga gifted him three arrows, out of which he could win the whole universe. The purpose of them was to mark and hit the target; they war so powerful that escape from them was impossible. When Krishna wanted to test Barbareek for his arrows, and asked him to shoot the all leaves of a nearby tree. What Krishna did, he hid a leaf under his foot — but arrows had to fulfill their task; the leaf under the foot was marked, and when the last arrow came to hit it immediately Krishna pulled his foot, ‘coz they were not simple arrows they were made out of goddess Durga’s power. And at last, when Krishna left his physical body, the coz was, you know? A arrow hit his foot.

Story Of Barbareek

 Bhim’s son was Ghatotkacha, and Ghatotkacha’s son was Barbareek. He was powerful than Arjun, Karn, Bhisma, Dronacharya and other fighters of the Mahabharata. When war was about to happen, he was asked for help. As he could change the result of war by using the powerful arrows — gifted to him by goddess Durga — out of his generosity he thought to help the weaker party; this was the thought that caused to pay a heavy price, price of his own soul. When his thought turned in a promise and everybody knew it. He was told (perhaps by lord Krishna) that no party remained weaker or stronger all the times in a war, as a result he would keep changing sides and would kill both the parties of the war.
