Vedic Literature and Its Universal Concepts: Rishi, Devata and Chanda

Rishi, Devata, Chanda, are the three foundational pillars of the four Vedas: Rik,Yaju, Sama and Atharva. Each of these four is collection of mantra and mantra collection is called Samhita. Each Samhita consists of Brahmana, Aranyaka and Upanisad texts and these are interpretive texts of Samhita. Both Samhita and interpretive texts form the vast body of Vedic literature. Samhitas are original texts whereas Brahmana and Aranyaka are their interpretations, and the Upanisads are philosophic texts of the Vedas. Rishi, Devata and Chanda are formative elements of the Vedas. Rishis are the wise scholars who have realized Vedic mantras and handed the same to their disciples which in the long run develop different Sakha or branches of each Veda and such sakha altogether were 1131 and now only 26 sakha with their texts are available. Concept of Devata is suggestive of the theme and the subject matter of Vedic literature. In the Vedas Devatas are representatives of divine entity having certain physical form. The sun, the wind/ Indra and Agni (fire) are three Devata of the space, interspace and the earth. Vedas discusses One Almighty Brahma/ Purusha taking different forms as Devata based on various performances. Each Vedic Samhita and all interpretive literature follow structural pattern and especially Rigveda follows rigid metrical pattern. Each mantra of Vedic literature demands proper understanding of its Rishi, Devata and Chanda in order to capture its true spirit.

Impact of Gayatri Sadhana Camp on Stress and Well-being Parameters: A Mixed-method Study

ABSTRACT Background: Meditation using mantras is widely practiced in India and the world. Among the ancient Vedic mantras, the Gayatri Mantra (GM) holds profound significance. Despite its importance, limited scientific studies explore its effects. However, the research on the comprehensive effect of GM sadhana, including its components as explained in the traditional text, has been underexplored. Therefore, this study explores the effect of GM-based practices in a camp on the stress and well-being indicators of individuals by employing a mixed-method study design. Methodology: The study involved 32 participants (18 males, 14 females; mean age = 50.44 years) attending a residential camp of Gayatri Sadhana. Psychological assessments were conducted using the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, Scale of General Well-Being, Peace of Mind Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale, at the beginning and end of the camp. In addition, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interview schedules to understand the participant’s experiences with the Gayatri Sadhana program. Results:: Result showed a significant improvement in positive affect, general well-being, peace of mind, and a significant reduction in stress and negative affect among all participants (P < 0.01). The qualitative interview responses revealed mental health benefits across various domains. The findings from the standard questionnaire strongly correlated with the qualitative responses from the interview schedule. Conclusion: Gayatri Sadhana appears to possess the potential to alleviate stress and enhance the general well-being of individuals. This study sheds light on the benefits of this ancient mantra-based practice and suggests its relevance in promoting overall well-being.

Agni: The Eternal Flame Guiding Indian Life and Spirituality

This opinion delves into India's profound connection with Agni, exploring its significance as a symbol of divinity, transformation, and guidance. The ancient practice of Yagya, a ritual centered around Agni, has evolved through time, maintaining its relevance in modern India. Agni's teachings are reflected in Vedic mantras and are interwoven into the fabric of daily life through rituals like Balivaishya Yagya. The manuscript discusses Agni's role in 16 Sanskaras, guiding individuals through life's stages while promoting values and virtues. It also explores Agni's metaphysical dimension, manifested as sacred eternal flames or lamps, revered by Yogis and the masses alike. The spiritual essence of Agni is emphasized through practices like Yogagni, Pranagni, and Mantragni. Additionally, Maharshi Aurobindo's perspective unveils Agni's deep symbolism in Vedic hymns as a bridge between humanity and divine realms. Ultimately, the opinion underscores that Agni is not a mere concept, but an integral thread woven into the tapestry of Indian life, continuing to inspire generations to embrace wisdom, virtue, and spiritual growth.

Vedic Methodology That Highlights the Benefits of Sunlight between Twilight and Sunrise/Sunset

Memory destroying diseases such as dementia do not have effective medication. Various approaches including Infrared (IR) and Near-Infrared (NIR) therapies have been partially successful with potential side effects. Laser or LED based Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been relatively better in treating various diseases including Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, finding the appropriate wavelengths and intensities for the therapies continue to create challenges. We have calculated the intensity, energy, and power delivered by Sunrays in the region [IR + Red] during the Twilight to Sunrise and Sunset to Twilight timings (time of interest) to the retinae of closed eyes, opened eyes, and to the skin of humans. Based on the intensity, energy, and power these Sunrays in the region [IR + Red] during the “time of interest”, we propose that these Sunrays in the region [IR + Red] can help humans use NIR therapy to mitigate TBI, mitigate wide range of neurological and psychological conditions, improve alpha rhythm, treat visual diseases, be good for skin, reduce aging, eliminate wrinkles on face, promote tissue regeneration, reduce swelling, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, non‐thermally induce cytocidal effects in cancer cells, induce cell killing of cancer cells. Our methodology is extracted from Vedic Mantras.

Role of Agnihotra in Maternal and Child Healthcare: A Narrative Review

ABSTRACT Ayurveda, the Traditional Indian system of medicine with a philosophical background, has a holistic approach to health. Yuktivyapashraya chiktsa (rational treatment by use of drugs), Satvavjaya chikitsa (psychotherapy), and Daivavyapashraya chikitsa (celestial therapy) are the methods of treatment adopted in Ayurveda. Daivavyapashraya chikitsa includes the wearing of gems, chanting of mantras, and performances of homas (fire oblation rituals) which have great results but lack scientific documentation. Agnihotra is advised as a part of garbhasamskara therapy, but its scientific benefits are not documented. These therapies revive normal functioning of the mind, build sattva guna, and remove obstacles from rajas. Agnihotra, also known as homa therapy, yaga, yajna, or sacrifice, is one of the rituals of ancient Vedic traditions. This study aims to review the earlier studies on Agnihotra and illuminate the scientific benefits of Agnihotra rituals and further relate their application as rakshognavidhi (preventive measures) in pregnant women (grabhini), postnatal women (sutika), and in infants (bala). This review covers the concepts of “Agnihotra,” “Mantra,” “Maternal and child health,” “Preconception care,” “Postpartum care” with the hope to evoke more studies and scientific evidences in this area. There were 13 articles selected from PubMed central and two articles from the Cochrane database. These reviews pay attention to the clinical trials and the scientific effect of the ingredients used in the rituals of Agnihotra with their benefits. Agnihotra rituals are practiced by chanting Vedic mantras. The scientific aspects of Agnihotra rituals and their application as rakshognavidhi in pregnant women (grabhini), postnatal women (sutika), and infants (bala) were analyzed with references for the antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial factors that cause sterilization effects. The ingredients such as cow dung cakes, ghee, and rice grains used in these rituals are antimicrobial and hence cause sterilization of the environment. The combined result of all ingredients practiced at the prescribed time produces positive vibrations that enrich electromagnetic radiation and cosmic energy. Such rituals are beneficial for maternal and child health because they maintain physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Divorce under Muslim Law

In this paper we are going to talk about the major trends and specific categorization among marriages and kinds of divorces set to have been adopted in our country. We as a citizen of India has a democratic and liberal sect of notion to present ourselves in our society of in a specific community, we have all the general rights to live our life freely or to have a right decide for us what is wrong or correct for the beneficial mirror. All these aspects include many things and one is marriage and the marriage is somewhere deeply linked and end to a point called dissolution point or in legal terminology known as Divorce. According to the national bureau of economic research, it is mentioned that the marriage rates have also been falling and the rate of divorce is increasing. One of the basic reasons is the present mindset and notion to see a particular relation through a different angel. The societal review is somewhere different it covers the longevity or gap between the individual who ultimately result separation. Majorly it could be about any mental, physical, economical perspective of a particular person to see the idea. If we compare it with foreign culture specially the European countries you will notice that the concept of divorce is quite common in those areas, they see it as a behavior of compatibility and matching the vibes if they are not compatible with other, they just get themselves separate and create an infinite and broad apprehension of living life. But in Asian country like India, Pakistan, it is something out of mind, there was no idea of process of this creation in general but in laws it is somewhere embedded. In ancient times the togetherness of two individual or their bond was said unbreakable till death and after life also. In Hindu community the concept is called Seven Lives, where the bride and groom tale 7 vows keeping the holy pyre as the witness, they are called married in front of their families and around sacred fire lit for the purpose amidst the Vedic mantras. But according to Muslims there was a marriage loophole which is called separation, the law does not bound individual for unnatural circumstances. It is mentioned in Muslim law, the nature of Muslim marriage is nothing, but a contract and a contract can be repudiated. We can analyze that the defining character of a marriage in changing, the new trends are evolving, the productivity of a marriage is changing, the modal of a family is finding ways to survive. We in this paper are going to interpret and analyze those relative and important point and cover all the underrated images to be seen. We are going to talk about visual and psychological agenda of od 21st century people and their perspective to marriages and divorce along or side by side through evaluation and critical demography of mind of a particular individual or group as well. Psychologist says it is the changing age profile or husband and wife also a point of dissolution for example in the matter or fertility.

Education System in Vaikhanasa Tradition

Vishnu began in public temples even before the Christian era. 'Bhitargaon' and the 'Deogarh’ monumental temples in the North are dedicated to Vishnu built during Gupta period in the 4th or 5th Century AD. Many temples have been built in subsequent periods by Kings and Vishnu tradition followers. Daily worship is done to him from the Vedic period. Temple worship took the Vedas as its principles, and was followed in two divisions known as Vaishnava and Saiva. Advaita, Dvaita, Visistadvaita, Idol worship were practiced. Saiva Agamas and Vaishnava Agamas are being followed in almost all the places in our country. As per Vaikhanasa sutra, those who are well versed with all the samskaras are eligible to do the pooja in Vaikhanasa Agama temples. Agama is based on Vedic mantras and one becomes eligible to read the Agama only after getting Upanayana Samskara. Further, the learner should attain at least a minimum of 9 years to have a good grasp of Agama Sastras and communicate the significance of Agama sastras to others.

Application of Kirlian Captures and Statistical Analysis of Human Bioelectricity and Energy of Different Organs

Bioelectricity occurs inside a living organism. It is nature through which living beings survive. It is a phenomenon through which organisms live and is also parallel to electrophysiology. Bioelectric potentials are generated by many biological processes. Bioelectric potentials are very like electrical potentials, which are generated by batteries. The bioelectric potential in a cell membrane has a potential of about 500 milli volts. Cells use their potential to control metabolic processes. But some cells use them differently for psychological functions. Cells allow the potential to be between inside and outside to discharge current to the nerves. The transportation of sodium ions is also involved in production of action potential, the ancient Indian vedic yajna, mantra, and meditation science has been proved effective to increase this bioelectricity. In this manuscript, the authors examined the different energy distribution of subjects on different organs.

Retrofitting a Vedic Origin for a Classical Hindu Goddess


 
 
 Many Hindu deities as known from classical sources (i.e, from the epics, Purāṇas, and later religious literature and iconography) have a very slender profile in the Vedic texts, appearing in only a few passages and often represented in ways that seem peripheral to their full, classical personae. Ritualists and devotees steeped in that older literature took pains to connect those deities to Vedic mantras and rites, in order to validate them with the prestige of venerable orthodoxy as well as to provide a basis for Brahmin priestly roles in their worship. The case of the goddess Durgā is particularly striking in this respect, since her Vedic “footprint” is so small. This study carefully examines the Durgā Sūkta and related materials to show how Taittirīya and Ṛgveda Brahmins went about supplying a Vedic liturgy for Durgā worship. This account complements the one recently proposed to show how Atharvan priests in the service of rulers drew on Atharvavedic traditions to present Durgā as a patron goddess of arms and military strength.
