Podcasts about Agastya

Today, we speak with Dr. David Penberg and Adhirath Sethi about Agastya, a unique educational ecosystem serving students and teachers in 22 Indian states. Agastya has a hub-and-spokes design, with an elaborate 172-acre campus outside Bangalore and a fleet of mobile vans and bicycles delivering science and art programming to poor and rural children in far-flung towns and villages. The post Mobile Creativity Labs: Scaling STEAM Across India first appeared on Ethical Schools.

Captain Underpants is a super popular book series that has sold more than 80 million copies all around the world. Kids love its funny jokes and surprising story twists. The author, Dav Pilkey, wasn't always great at reading or sitting still—he had something called dyslexia (a reading disorder) and ADHD (which makes it hard to focus). But as a kid, he used his time while he was sent out of class to draw funny pictures and tell stories to his friends. Instead of letting challenges stop him, he turned them into something awesome!Young guests: Agastya (12 yrs), Darsh (10 yrs), Dhruv Agarwal (11 yrs), Dhruv Gandhi (11 yrs), Dhyan (11 yrs), Nayra (10 yrs), Satwik (12 yrs)Explore More1.

Faith is necessary. Meditate to focus on the Self, your attention is preoccupied with imaginations.7:56  When your consciousness is not into any type of imagination, know that as the truth of existence.10:41 Mind gives only what it imagines, it can never give the Truth.14:09 Time and space are imaginations; meditation is to stop imagining. Just watch and thoughts will disappear.16:13 Due to imagination only, a false thing appears to be true.17:17 Baba recommendation, the need for meditation.18:08 Misunderstanding what the Self is, what the mind is.20:54 Baba explains ego in detail.23:25 What is true spirituality. The need for direct experience of the Self. Importance of having the right teacher.26:33 Siddhis, celestial worlds, and super powers cannot give Self Realization. To know the Self is the greatest miracle, with it comes supreme peace. 31:24 Meditate to quiet the mind, overcome the ego, and attain liberation. Story of Astravakra commanding King Janaka to "Stop" mentally.36:04 In addition to meditation, the practice of acceptance (karma yoga) can contribute to Self-Realization. Baba explains how mental attitude aids in spiritual growth.40:48 Purpose can be more important than the act of doing.43:37 How can a person be devoted to the path, perform karma yoga, and serve selflessly, without the quality of love? Devotion, service and acceptance.47:05 The importance of learning from the knowers of Truth. True peace is within you only.  Purushartha - individual effort is needed.51:30 How can I wake up every morning inspired to live a spiritual life?53:08 Space doesn't need anything for its existence, it is holding the entire universe.55:38 How do we turn our attention from the world to our Self?57:41 While keenly observing in meditation, if there are no thoughts can we know that as the Self?58:31 Seeing the Self but again slipping back into thinking.59:06 Why is our mind is working against us, rather than for us?1:00:36 Does food play an important role in controlling the mind?1:01:47 How to sustain thought free focus during meditation.1:04:04 Celestial appearances are a distraction to meditation and a much higher reality.1:05:59 Advice to someone who meditates a lot and does not need much sleep.1:07:00 Is not reacting mentally or physically to external stimulation the same as withdrawing the senses, and quieting the mind?1:07:57 When focused between the eyebrows, how do you get into samadhi? How to transcend body consciousness?1:09:19 By theory alone you cannot know with certainty what is positive or negative behavior. Meditate to purify the mind and negativity will disappear.1:11:28 Does Absolute Consciousness have the  power to think of and manifest beautiful or ugly things?1:14:43 Is consciousness or mind evolving?___Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.coRegister your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

Many people are concerned that AI is at present Conscious or will become Conscious at some point. And if so, will they turn then on their human overlords? Or worse, they might remain calm and continue to be helpful at which point we would have on our hands a huge ethical issue: forcing intelligent beings to do slave-like work without any compensation or protection? The problem with most conversations about AI and consciousness is that most of us them are premised on a very poor understanding of Consciousness, founded upon very shaky and outdated materialist reductionist foundations. So I thought let's just set the record straight by offering a few perspectives from Sāmkhya, Advaita Vedanta and Tantra to answer this most pressing of questions!On this very auspicious day of Raksha Bandhana, the day when we honor our brothers and sisters and siblings, I want to firstly say to each and every one of you, you who are my dear brothers, sisters, siblings: I love you immeasurably!Thank you.No words will express my reverence to you, you who are Goddess embodied!May all my words be so many flowers offered in devotion and surrender at your lotus feet!May these words be themselves like the thread that I wrap around your wrists! (Because today many siblings and friends will be tying a thread or amulet around each other's wrists to signify their bond and mutual protection of one another!)Also today's pūrnimā (full moon) is Hayagrīva Jayanti, when we celebrate that divine emanation of Godhead with the horse's head who returned the Vedas after they were stolen (I.e who revived the Vedas with his Tantrik transmission) and who revealed the secret names of Lalitāmbika to the sage Agastya in the Brahmananda Purana!He is the Tantrik Guru par excellence and so today, in the name of discussing the subtlest and most esoteric of Tantrik doctrines, I want to explore what I consider to be among the most profound ideas expressed which we find in aphorism in Vasugupta's Śiva Sūtra: drśyam śarīram, “the entire universe is your body.”We have been exploring Tantrik subtle anatomy together for some weeks now, discussing nādis, cakras, prāna, Kundalinī etc. But in the background of all of this is this profoundly radical notion of embodiment, a metaphysical claim about the true nature of our essential being that once heard, can grant enlightenment immediately! It is precisely this claim that we will explore today.But you know, I noticed there was a very thrilling discussion in the Discord the other night about Artifical Intelligence and its role in spiritual communities! Amanda Mā suggested I say something about Consciousness and AI and since I can never refuse her (especially not on Raksha Bandhana!) I've decided to name tonight's talk “is AI Conscious?” In answering this question from the Tantrik point of view, we can explore the aforementioned aphorism, drśyam śarīram!Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST, Friday 10am PST and again Friday 6pm PST.  There's Q&A right after the lectre. It is free and open to the public. All are welcome!Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrMSupport the Show.

The treasures of  Sanatan Dharma is so rich and huge one may not even touch its periphery in one's Lifetime If one were to give up linguistic and regional bias, one may unearth these treasures. I have in many of my posts written on the myth of Tamil and Sanatana Dharma being inimical to each other They complement each other. If one were to read the Vedic texts and ancient Tamil Texts one may notice the following points 1.Shiva is not directly mentioned in the Vedas nor do we find any sukthas ascribed/devoted to Him.His name appears in Sri Rudram, Rudra being an amsa of Shiva and not Shiva in His full Glory 2.Other Gods,Narayna, Vishnu,Varuna, Indra,Agni,Vaayu,Durga, Lakshmi and a Host of others are mentioned in the Vedas 3.Ancient Tamil Spiritual texts mention the following Deities and the earliest Grammar work Tholkaapiyam assigns the territories in which they are the Chief Gods. A).Kurinji,mountainous terrain, Chief Deity is, Cheyon(means The son) called Murugan , that is Subrahmanya . Interestingly Vedas do not mention Subrahmanya directly. B)Mullai, Pastoral lands, the Chief Deity is Maayaon, Vishnu.Maayon means Illusionist, one who creates the Yoga maaya .This is in keeping with the. description of Vishnu in Vedas and the Puranas. C).Marutham, Paddy fields/arable lands, Chief Deity is Indra.. D)Neydhal, Sea and adjoining areas , Chief Deity is Varuna and E)Paalai, Desert Region, Chief Deity is Durga, called Kotravai in Tamil. Even in Tamil, which is believed to have been founded by Lord Shiva,He is not assigned a Region in the manner described above 4.The Yoga system of the Vedic system is by Patanjali. 5.Patanjali is a disciple of Shiva along with Sage Agastya and Bhogar according to Tamil Classics 6.The Yoga developed Thirumoolar, meaning The auspicious first in his Thirumandiram is different from Patanjali's Yoga Sutra. 7.Yoga developed by Agastya follows Thirumoolar and is different from Patanjali's. The meaning Shiva in Sanskrit is Auspiciousness. Mangalam. No other meaning is assigned to this word. In Tamil the etymology is slightly different.. Shiva is from Vaa Si. Vaasi when repeated in quick succession.

We start with Badami, discovering the rock cut cave temples built during the 4-5th century CE by the Badami Chalukyas as they established their political capital in Badami. The cave temples consist of 4 main caves - 3 Hindu and 1 Jain cave that have some finely sculpted temples. Keshav talks through the significance of each of these cave temples as well as subtle differences. There is Cave 5, which is a relatively newer cave that is closer to the Agastya lake and Bhootnath temple and is unique for its representation of the deities Besides the cave temples, Badami also has a mosque that was likely built during the Adil Shahi sultanate. The town is also a popular hot spot for bouldering among the local and international community. Aihole was considered to be the cultural capital of the Chalukyas and is situated a few kms away from Badami. It is considered to be the cradle of Indian temple architecture due to the sheer diversity and number of temples found here. There are over 100 temples in the main complex including Hindu, Jain and Buddhist temples. THe main temples include the Durga temple, Lad Khan temple, Gaudargudi temple and the Ravan Pahadi caves. Other important temples include Ambigergudi temples complex, Jyotirlinga temples complex, Mallikarjuna temples complex, Ramalinga temples group, Veniyar shrines complex, Maddin temples group, Triyambakeshvara temples group, Kuntigudi complex. Finally, Pattadakal came into prominence between the 7th and 8th century CE and was considered as the place of coronation of the Chalukya Kings. It is often referred to as a harmonious blend of architecture styles from North and South India. The main temples include - Kadasiddheshwara temple (Nagara/North Indian style), Jambulingeshwara temple, Galaganatha Temple, Chandrashekhara Temple, Sangameshwara Temple (dravidian/vimana style), Kashi Vishwanatha Temple (rekhanagara), Virupaksha Temple (dravidian/vimana), Jain Narayana TempleLinks:Keshav's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keshavchaturvedi9/Keshav's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/keshav.chaturvedi.37Keshav's podcast - https://shows.ivmpodcasts.com/show/tedhe-medhe-raaste-8nsu-Rh7epsqeWjEL8yjlFollow the Musafir stories on:Twitter : https://twitter.com/musafirstories?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/themusafirstories/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musafirstoriespodcast/?hl=enwebsite: www.themusafirstories.comemail: themusafirstories@gmail.comYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.You can check out our website at https://shows.ivmpodcasts.com/featuredDo follow IVM Podcasts on social media.We are @IVMPodcasts on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram.https://twitter.com/IVMPodcastshttps://www.instagram.com/ivmpodcasts/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/ivmpodcasts/Follow the show across platforms:Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, JioSaavn, Gaana, Amazon MusicDo share the word with you folks!

There are Seven Seers of Hinduism called as Saptha (seven) Rishis. According to Puranas,these change for every Manvantara,a Time scale of Hinduism going back to lakhs of years. For more read my article on Manvatara. The Saptha Rishis for our Manvantara are, Atri, Bhrigu, Kutsa, Vasishta, Gautama, Kasyapa and Angirasa. It is interesting to note that references to these Rishis are associated with certain regions of the world,though all of them are from Bharatavarsha. Of these,while, Bhrighu from Himachal Pradesh,Kutsa from near Uttar Pradesh,Vasishta from Indus valley,Atri,Kasyapa and Gautama and Angirasa are from the south of Vindhyas. It is also curious that the Bhargavas,those from Bhrighu Lineage, to which Parashurama,an Avatar of Vishnu,are sometimes treated as those from the south,with Parashurama establishing Goa and Kerala regions of today. Kasyapa is the earliest and his name means Turtle. The Turtle concept  is present in almost all lehends related to Creation of Earth. Kasyapa must have lived in the south ,though he is reported to have come to south twice . Once when the earth was tilted during Shiva,s Marriage with Uma and again during Ramayna whe he came down to Lanka to impart The Adityahridhaya Stotra on Surya,the Sun God,to Lord Rama,when he was depressed during his battle with Ravana in Lanka. Agastya's movement has been validated by the Star Canopus. Please read my article on this. Sage Gauthama was from the Godavari basin/valley,the River Godavari is named after him. Bhrighu and Angirasa are classified as pre Vedic Rishis. Though they are referred thus and are mentioned in The Zend Avestha of Zoraosterianism,Angirasa ,going by Sumerian and Tamil related material was from the Dravida desa and he seems to have founded the Akkadian empire or worshiped by them. https://ramanisblog.in/2017/03/26/four-of-the-sapthaseven-rishis-from-south-of-india/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

The term Brahmacharya means, ‘going after Brahman' ,The Reality. This has two connotations in practice. One is engaging oneself in the pursuit of Reality. The other is the virtue of practicing celibacy. Let us study the Etymology of the word. The word brahmacharya stems from two Sanskrit roots: Brahma (ब्रह्म, shortened from Brahman), means “the one self-existent Spirit, the Absolute Reality, Universal Self, Personal God, the sacred knowledge”. charya (चर्य), which means “occupation with, engaging, proceeding , behaviour, conduct, to follow, going after”..This is often translated as activity, mode of behaviour, a “virtuous” way of life. So the word Brahmacharya literally means a lifestyle adopted to seek and understand Brahman – the Ultimate Reality. In historic literature of Hinduism, it means “devoting oneself to Brahman”. In modern literature, it is commonly translated to mean celibacy for those unmarried, and fidelity to one's partner when married. In ancient and medieval era Indian texts, the term brahmacharya is a concept with more complex meaning. Brahmacharya embodies in its meaning an overall lifestyle that helps the pursuit of sacred knowledge and spiritual liberation.It is a means, not an end, and usually includes cleanliness, ahimsa, simple living, studies, meditation, voluntary restraints on certain diet, intoxicants and behaviors (including sexual behavior)' So, one interpretation, which is basic, is that Brahmacharya means making efforts to Realize Brahman, The Reality. Brahman can be realized, according to scriptures, with the help of a Preceptor, Guru.. Though the Smritis  /Sruthi declare that Brahmacharya begins with Upanayana, at an early age with the Upanayana, which is recommended at ages between 5 , 7, and 9,people were aware that the quest for Brahman might arise in an individual at a later date, say at the age 25, 30, 40 or even 50. In such cases  by following of the enquiry into the nature of Brahman, one becomes a Brahmachari, a Student. He could be a married man or woman. Being married or unmarried , man or woman is no hindrance in pursuing the Reality Brahaman. We have many Grahasthas, married people as great Rishis, Vasishta,Krupar,Kashyapa, Agastya, Gargi , Maitreyi. Therefore these great souls, though married are students, Brahmacharis, as they pursued Brahama Gnana. Hence a Married man is also a Brahmachari in this sense. Brahmacharya indicates a Stage of life,  that of study. The four Asramas are Brahmacharya, Gruhastha, Vanaprastha and Sanyasa. These relate to the dispositions and the actions being contemplated upon by the individual, while Celibacy is a part of Sadhana marga which expedites spiritual journey. Coming to Celibacy, Celibacy is essential in preserving the Semen from falling to the ground or flowing down as this hinders the spiritual growth, It is called Urthvarethas, Meaning that the semen flows upwards through the Chakras in the body to reach the Sahasrara in the head, This Celibacy is called Naishtika Brahmacharrya.(not allowing the semen to flow down) Bhishma is a Naishtika Brahmachari. He is the only Naishtika Brahmachari, apart from Hanuman. This is  the reason, why Devavrataha, was  called Bhishma, one who does the Impossible. In the case of the Grahasthas, so long as their object of physical interaction is to produce progeny without Lust, they are also rated high in the scheme of things. King Janaka is one such. Therefore a married one can also be called a Brahmachari, provided he/ she is after the enquiry into the Nature of Brahman.

The Pandavas continue their tour, still hearing about Agastya; they learn of Indra's battle against the asura Vrtra, followed by the story of King Sagara and his 60,001 sons. www.themahabharatapodcast.com www.facebook.com/themahabharatapodcast

To me the Indian Texts are History and there is ample physical evidence to prove what has been stated in them. They have been validated by archeology, astronomy, internal and external evidence of the west's interpretation of Indian History. I have written quite a few articles on the validation of Indian History, be it the Age of the Rig Veda, Rama and Krishna, Agastya, Tamil Kings, Shiva, Murugan,,the Age of Thiruvannamalai, Tirupati temples. I have been intrigued by the worship of Aravan, son of Lord Krishna since early ages in Tamil Nadu. There is a Temple for Aravan ,Koothaandaar Koil, near Tindivanam , about 3 hours from Chennai, where a festival is conducted years by the Third gender for Iravan.Aravan is called thus in Tamil as words starting from R is not allowed by Tamil Grammar. And the practice of Bul fighting called Manju Virattu in Tamil from ancient times in Tamil Nadu has Krishna connection. Bull Fighting , which is famous in Spain was started by Krishna! And the term Eru Thazhuvudhal, that of  a jilted lover embracing death by climbing a special tree, also has Krishna connection! I shall be writing on this in detail. Meanwhile, I came across information that Krishna's sons expanded their Kingdom throughout India and all the Kingdoms of India descended from either Rama or Krishna. ‘The main part that Mahabharata mentions that Arjuna established the son of Kritavarma at Mrittikavati and the great-grandson of Krishna, Vajra at Indraprastha. Some Puranas mention Vajra was established at Mathura. But these two kings did survive out of the Yadava clan. The Yadava clan was not completely wiped out but it's influence reduced considerably. The Abhiras were becoming strong since the Mahabharata war. Their kingdom was in the Sindhu region. The control of Purus and Yadavas reduced considerably on that region after the war. The Abhiras attacked Arjuna when he was taking back the Yadava women. The Abhiras took away some of these women. If the Mahabharata had actually happened around 3000 BC, then this entry of Abhiras in the Saraswati region could very well explain the Harappan civilization which sprung around the same time. The Gupta dynasty is claimed to have sprung from these Abhiras. The Yadava kingdoms did exist, but became less in number. The one Yadava kingdom that existed was the Devagiri kingdom in Maharashtra whose rulers claim direct descent from Krishna. There still exist people with the surname Yadav in north India who claim descent from the royal Yadavas. Apart from that, Nanda, Krishna's foster father was also included in the Yadava clan and his descendants called Nandavanshi Yadavas still exist…..” can be inferred from the vamshanucharita (genealogy) sections of a number of major Puranas that, the Yadavas spread out over the Aravalli region, Gujarat, the Narmada valley, the northern Deccan and the eastern Ganges valley.[10] TheMahabharata and the Puranas mention that the Yadus or Yadavas, a confederacy comprising numerous clans were the rulers of the Mathura region.[11] The Mahabharata also refers to the exodus of the Yadavas from Mathura to Dvaraka owing to pressure from the Paurava rulers of Magadha, and probably also from the Kurus” Yadava dynasty, rulers of a 12th–14th-century Hindu kingdom of central India in what is now the Indian state of Maharashtra. Originally a feudatory of the Eastern Chalukyas of Kalyani, the dynasty became paramount in the Deccan under Bhillama (c. 1187–91), who founded Devagiri (later Daulatabad) as his capital. Under Bhillama's grandsonSinghana (reigned c. 1210–47) the dynasty reached its height, as the Yadava campaigned against the Hoysalas in the south, the Kakatiyas in the east, and the Paramaras and Chalukyas in the north. The Yadavas spread to me Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The Velir Kingdoms were , at one point of time, the Major allies of Chola Kings.

Distressed at the absence of Arjuna, the Pandavas go on pilgrimage, where they hear many ancient stories--among them that of the famous rsi Agastya. www.themahabharatapodcast.com www.facebook.com/themahabharatapodcast

Anuradha Gajaraj-Lopez is the humble author of, Agastya, The Path, a revelatory book containing great spiritual knowledge downloaded from the revered Sage Agastya and divinely revealed to her late father, K.M. Gajaraj during his meditations.  Over some time and following a Divine occurrence, it became apparent to Anu that she was to carry out the work of translating and transliterating her father's original manuscript, Agasthiyar Vazhipaadu  - a book partly written in Tamil, a language she could not read or understand - and bring its spiritual knowledge forth to organically spread throughout the world.   In this episode, we discuss who Agustya was and is, the aspects of the avatars, and Agustya's input on the purpose of all life.  Other topics include: how knowledge is considered to be the greatest of all “givings,” spiritual knowledge vs. temporal knowledge, the veil of illusion being our greatest block, the greatest tamasic condition for humanity, the crux of karma, sound directives on cultivating a calm mind and healthy body, and much more.   To learn more about Anu and these sacred teachings, go to: https://www.amazon.com/Agastya-Path-ANURADHA-Gajaraj-Lopez/dp/B09K21BJPN

This webinar is on the way how the Rishis engaged with the life of the world, with reference to Rishi Agastya and Sri Aurobindo. A webinar organized by the Sri Aurobindo Yoga Foundation of North America (SAYFNA).

In The Secret of the Veda, Sri Aurobindo showed that there is a deep, esoteric sense to the Vedic hymns that is the real sense of the hymns. To illustrate the method of interpretation, Sri Aurobindo chose 13 hymns and provided translation and commentary under the heading 'Selected Hymns'. This is the first of these selected hymns, the Colloquy of Indra and Agastya. (The Secret of the Veda, US edition, pp. 241-244) The English translation was provided by Sri Aurobindo. The recordings were made at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1973. Sanskrit recited by Sri Vinayak. English translation and excerpts from Sri Aurobindo's commentary recited by Santosh Krinsky

In addition to being geographically linked to two Shiva Kshetras of Elements, it is curious to find that there is a Mango Tree, where Lord Shiva and Parvathi got married. And this Tree is about 3500 years old. Sage Agastya shows he way to date this tree The marriage of Shiva and Parvathi, to my knowledge, happened once in Himalayas and the same event was witnessed by Sage Agastya, who could not attend the marriage because Lord Shiva ordered him to proceed to South to counter balance the earth. This has happened about 40 million years ago, based on earths' plate movement. ‘ ‘Life in the universe is created and destroyed once every 4.1 to 8.2 billion years, which is one full day (day and night) for Brahma. The lifetime of a Brahma is believed to be 311 trillion and 40 billion years-Hindu Cosmology. ‘Eighty million years ago, India was approximately 6400 km (3968 miles) south of the Eurasian plate. Separating the two was the Tethys Sea. The Indo-Australian tectonic plate – containing the continent of Australia, the Indian subcontinent, and surrounding ocean – was pushed northward by the convection currents generated in the inner mantle. For millions of years, India made its way across the sea toward the Eurasian plate. As India approached Asia, around 40 million years ago, the Tethys Sea began to shrink and its seabed slowly pushed upwards.' https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2015/03/22/shiva-uma-wedding-agastya-to-south-40-million-years-tectonics-proof/ This is what Agastya had seen, if he had seen it immediately after the marriage when he crossed over the Vindhyas Another theory is that Agastya came to South around 5000 years ago . This is based on the  Agastya Star Canopus presence  when Agastya moved to South. ‘ If we make 8°meridian altitude as the criterion for visibility, the date of Agastya would be shifted to about 4000 BC. The dates 5000 and 4000 BC should therefore bracket the probable epoch of Agastya crossing the Vindhyan mountains.'  https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/agastya-canopus-validates-sanatan-dharma-tamil-dates/ As Time is Cyclic in Hinduism, these events keep on occurring  in every  Yuga. The Kali Yuga is about 5000 years old. The marriage of Shiva and Parvathi coud have played out again towards the end of Dwapara Yuga  as well around 5000 years ago! Now to the Mango Tree at Ekambareswarar temple being 3500 years may be validated by this calculation. More @ www.ramanisblog.in --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

It's a very interesting story of sage Agastya and princess Lopamudra. Due to certain reasons Agastya wanted to marry and he found Lopamudra suitable. He approached King of Vidarbha for this and Lopamudra got married to sage Agastya. But what happens after that is very interesting to hear.

Ādityahṛdayam (Sanskrit: आदित्यहृदयम्, Sanskrit pronunciation: [aːdɪtjɐɦɽɪdɐjɐm]) is a Hindu devotional hymn dedicated to Āditya or Sūrya (the Sun God) found in the Yuddha Kānda (6.105) of Vālmīki's Rāmāyana. It was recited by the sage Agastya to Rāma in the battlefield before fighting with the asura king Rāvaṇa. In it, Agastya teaches Rāma (who is fatigued after the long battle with various warriors of Laṅkā, ) the procedure of worshiping Āditya ( for strength ) to defeat the enemy.

Ancient Vedic Indians, during the Vedic period have developed advanced knowledge in Microbiology.   Biology and Surgery were developed and practiced.   They knew the classification of Species.   Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution , Survival of the Fittest was expressed. An Santi Parva of Mahabharata,Section XV Arjuna speaks of the world of Microbes,'which ,though not seen by the naked eyes, support Life” Talks of Darwinism when he says that the strongest survive by feeding and annihilating them. The Mobile and the Immobile world is Food for Living creatures. Jainism had such an advanced knowledge and Piety, the Jain Monks use to sweep the path they travel gently with a fan made of Peacock feathers to make sure that the smaller organisms are not unintentionally killed by them. Kara , Dhooshana, Inderjith and Ravana's Moola Sena were adept at fighting biological warfare. Our Vedic literature recorded about 740 plants and 250 animals. ¨ The first attempt of classification is observed in Chandyogya Upanishad, which classified animals into three categories — Jivaja(Viviparous = giving birth to young ones), e.g. mammals, Andaja(Oviparous = egg lying), e.g. birds, reptiles, insects and worms, andUdbhija (Vegetal origin), e.g. minute animals. Post-Vedic Indian literature, such as Susruta Samhita (600 BC) classified all ‘substances' into sthavara (immobile), e.g. plants, jangama (mobile), e.g. animals. ¨ Plants were further subdivided into Vanaspati (fruit yielding non-flowering plants), Vriksha (both fruit yielding and flowering plants),Virudha (shrubs and creepers), and Osadhi (plants that die with ripening of fruits). Susruta described in detail the parts of plants, such as Ankura (sprout), Mula (root), Kanda (bulb or stem), Patra (leaf),Pushpa (flower), Phala (fruit), etc. ¨ Susruta Samhita also mentioned about classification of animals, such as Kulacara (those herbivores who frequent the river banks, e.g. elephant, buffalo, etc.), Matsya (fish), Janghala (wild herbivorous quadrupeds, e.g. deer), Guhasaya (carnivorous quadrupeds like tiger, lion, etc.). Susruta Samhita also records some observations on snakes (both venomous and non-venomous) and leeches. They knew about Microbes and about fermentation. They were aware of the exact combinations and temperatures at which fermentation takes place in preparing Buttermilk,Curds,Liquor. The existence of Lives , which are smaller and Microscopic was analysed. Germ theory of diseases was first established by Vedic Rishis and was recorded in Vedas. Vedas are first text in the world to record nexus between microbes and disease. In Vedas, prime etiological factors of diseases mentioned are– a) Endogenous toxins, its accumulations, and causation of a disease; b) ‘Krimi' –'Drisya' (visible), ‘Adrisya' (invisible); and c) Imbalance of tridosha. Rigveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda followed by Āyurvedas provide rich insight into microbial sciences that existed in Bharat many thousands of years ago. In Rigveda (1/191), Rishị Agastya pinpoints out that there are two types of poisonous creatures viz. those exceedingly poisonous and others are less poisonous. Of them, some are visible venomous, while others are invisible one. Some of them live in water, while others live on earth. Perhaps Ṛsị Agastya is the first person to state that invisible creatures are also toxin producers. He also prescribes antidotes as remedy for the poison. Atharvaveda reiterates that whenever there is accumulation of toxins within the body, disease results. Use of Biological weapons of Mass Destruction was known. There are large number of suktas in the Vedas which provides information about microbiological knowledge in the ancient Vedic texts.

Aditya Hrudayam is a Hindu devotional hymn dedicated to Āditya or Sūrya found in the Yuddha Kānda of Vālmīki's Rāmāyana. It was recited by the sage Agastya to Rāma in the battlefield before fighting with the asura king Rāvaṇa. In it, Agastya teaches Rāma the procedure of worshiping Āditya to defeat the enemy.
