Nakshatra, an IIT Delhi graduate, developed a deep interest in astrology after facing significant health crises, including a false diagnosis of blood cancer and a paralytic attack in 2011. Initially skeptical, he became intrigued by the accurate predictions made by an astrologer. This fascination led him to study astrology in depth, and after a decade of learning, he decided to pursue it full-time. His vision is to integrate astrology into the field of data analytics, making predictions publicly available on his Instagram page "THE LOGICAL ASTROLOGER" before events occur. According to Nakshatra, the future is predictable. Through his ongoing research, he aims to elevate astrology to global recognition, striving for India to achieve the same acclaim for astrology that it has for yoga, honoring the wisdom of its ancient traditions. 0:00 Predictions for 2024 4:43 Bharat ki Kundli kya hai? 6:50 Past predictions on India that came true 11:01 Kundli is basically Data Analytics Software 13:34 Free Will Vs Kundli mein likha hai 16:45 How Kundli works & predicts future 20:05 ग्रह of Jyotish Vs Planets of solar system 21:41 Jyotish works on Perceptive reality 27:18 How can Kundli be called scientific? 30:17 How Kundli is defined by one's environment 32:05 Dhruv Rathi & Subjective environment 35:14 Objective environment & ग्रह movement 40:46 How kundli can predict one's marriage 43:09 Astrologers can predict number of marriages? 45:02 Multiple relationships today vs 100 years ago 49:40 If marriage is made in heaven, why Kundli milan? 53:37 Kundli milan in arranged marriages 57:12 In Foreign, no Kundli but still things work fine? 1:00:11 Rape case filed due to Kundli milan 1:04:10 Using wrong Kundli for marriage isn't fraud? 1:07:00 Do remedies & manifestation work? 1:09:45 How Behavioural remedies work 1:13:00 How non Behavioural remedies work 1:15:14 Duryodhan's Kundli & remedies 1:17:30 How can jyotish predict country's kundli 1:19:44 Don't mock jyotish but astrologers can be bad 1:24:32 What can be predicted & what can't be 1:25:30 Analysing Narendra Modi's Kundli 1:29:39 Analysing Kundli of politicians 1:32:43 Manmohan Singh's Kundli 1:33:50 Interesting Story of Modi's Kundli 1:35:54 Future of Modi Sarkar & concept of Muhurat 1:38:15 Ram Mandir muhurat was one of the best 1:40:12 How Modi will behave in 3rd term 1:44:00 Can health/diseases be predicted? 1:47:05 How astrology discovered ग्रह ki qualities?

Situated in Kollum District Kerala, Peruviruthy Malanada Temple is probably the only temple dedicated to Kaurava Prince Duryodhana. In this temple Kaurava prince is being worshipped for many generations. There are many other temples in the vicinity dedicated to Gandhari, Dushala, Karna etc.    There is no idol in this temple, instead there is an empty platform that is worshipped as Duryodhan's throne.    It is believed that during the incognito period of Pandava's exile Duryodhana along traveled all over the world trying to find them. During one such expedition he landed in this village. He was tired and thirsty, and was offered a drink by an elderly woman. Pleased with this Duryodhan rewarded the village with wealth and one hundred acre land.    Even today the tax generated from that land is called Duryodhanan, which means Duryodhan's wealth.    Learn more about your ad choices.

At the end of the Mahabharat war, only three warriors from Kaurava side survived; Kripacharya, Ashwatthama and Kritavarma. Kritavarma was the commander of Shrikrishna's Narayani sena and Duryodhan's friend. Because of Shrikrishna's promise to Duryodhan, he fought for the Kauravas in the great war. On the last day of the battle he accompanied Ashwatthama inside the Pandav camp and helped him in killing the five sleeping sons of Draupadi.  Many years later when Kritavarma taunted Satyaki for the unfair killing of Bhurishrava, Satyaki called him out for killing helpless Uppandavas.

In our third episode we will dive into the life journey of perhaps the most conflicted character of the Mahabharat epic, Karan. He was someone who always wanted to do the right thing but couldn't because of the oath he took. His oath bound him to Duryodhan, who was the antagonist of the story. When we go through the life story of Karan we learn how important it is not to give someone your blind loyalty as this one decision can possibly control your every action. But before we start Karan's journey it's important we explore his past life and the actions he took that finally caught up with him and led to his demise. As always, all stories for this episode will be based on research done over a period of years from various written and folk sources. Minor variations exist between texts and no one author has sole accepted canonship of these religious scripts- I'm simply using the text I am most familiar with. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/indianlegends/message

Divine Grace Is The Highest Gift Of Them All By: Kamlesh Patel Dec 23, 2021, 15:08 IST It's the season of gifts and giving all over the world, from Deepavali, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year, to Pongal and Sankranti, and it continues until spring.  Actually, the timing of the gift really depends on the call of the giving heart or the hour of need of the receiver. The best gift is one which has the intention of purity behind it. That would show the state of joy or peace of the receiver, which matters most. A cup of cool water to a thirsty man in a desert is more precious than gifts of jewels or millions of dollars to a wealthy man. Now, how do we evaluate a gift? The capacity of the giver is more relevant than the material value of the gift. Saints like Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur, Babuji, admired a few rupees donated by a needy woman more than millions from billionaires. What gives life to the gift? It can only be love! The intention and attitude associated with the thought and the gesture are equally valuable., there is the story of Shabari, the tribal woman who gave half-eaten fruits to Ram and Lakshman, the sons of King Dashrath. This old woman would bite into each fruit to ensure that it was sweet and safe before offering it to them. Her loving hospitality worked as a balm to relieve some of their pain of separation from Sita. In the Mahabharat, when Krishn chose to stay with Vidur, instead of Duryodhan, Krishn happily ate the banana peels offered by Vidur's wife. She did this because she was so lost in love and adoration for Krishn. When Vidur pointed out her absent-mindedness, Krishn said, “The superb taste of these banana peels is not present in the banana.” O'Henry's ‘The Gift of the Magi' is also very inspiring. The wife, Della, sells her beautiful hair to buy a gold strap for her husband Jim's wristwatch. Jim sells his watch to buy a beautiful comb for Della's luxuriant hair. Neither of them could use the gift received from the other, but it filled their hearts to the brim with gratitude. Isn't forgiving the best gift? Miraculously, it turns out to be a double gift, it works for the giver and receiver. It has the potential to usher in a new heaven on earth by saving the world from hatred. Babuji Maharaj, the founder of the Heartfulness movement, adds that besides forgiving, if we also express our gratitude for the lessons learnt, perhaps that is the greatest in gift giving. However, only the one who has received divine grace can do it easily. The Divine's grace is the highest gift. It can happen in the presence of a divinised personality and not because one is deserving, meritorious or has earned it. While planting a sapling today is a splendid gift to future generations and there are other noble ways to give, like contributing to your favourite charities or performing acts of service, we need to continue aspiring for the highest, too! That's my wish for you. May that grace from the Divine descend on you in your act of giving and gifting. The writer, also known as Daaji, is the Heartfulness Guide.

What is the meaning of the name Krishna and Keshav? What does the name Mahakali mean? Why didn't Krishna accept gifts and food from Duryodhan? Did Krishna really eat tasteless bhaji at Vidurji's place? With whom Krishna arrived in Kauravsabha ( court of the King Dhrutarastra )? Why did Duryodhan try to capture and imprison Krishna? What did really happen when Duryodhan tried to capture and imprison Krishna? What was the message of Kunti ( Mother of Pandav ) to Krishna for her sons? Does Satyug and Kaliyug really exist? What is Kunti's belief about differnt Yug ( Satyug, Kaliyug, Tretayug and Dwaparyug )? What is the meaning behind Kunti's story of Vidula and his son Sanjay? What is the meaning of all different colors of Indian national flag? Was Samrat Ashok really great? Why is Samrat (King) Ashok's understanding of Dharma not mature? In this episode ( sixth part of the first verse of the first chapter of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta ), I am going to answer the above questions in relation to the discussion of the word 'Yuyustva' ( Desire for War ). Besides we will talk about the meaning of the last verse of Geeta since its related to the current discussion of Dharma and Dharma-Yuddha.

When Jayadratha was killed by the clever plan of Krishna, when that terrible incident happened, Duryodhana was pacing up and down in the night and he was thinking, “What is this? The clouds just came and then went! I am not a weather-man. This Krishna is just too much.” Gandhari, his mother was thinking, “I must protect my son. This is cheating. With Krishna on their side, Pandavas will get victory.” Gandhari thought, “I have my siddhi.” So she said, “My dear Duryodhana, come and see me in the night without any clothes. When you stand before my eyes, I will take off the blindfold and by the force of my siddhi over the years, I will make you so strong that no one can touch you.” So in the dead of night, (because one has to be very late to walk around with no clothes) Duryodhana decides to come out and he walks. Everything is quiet and he makes a turn and who does he see? He sees Krishna. Duryodhana is thinking, “Of all the people in the world, why should I see this personality?” Krishna saw him and starts smiling. Duryodhan became ruffled. He said, “why are you smiling?” Krishna said, “why you think I am smiling? Grown up man with no clothes walking in the dead of the night. Are you mental?” Duryodhana becomes embarrassed and he says, “No no. I am just going to see my mother.” Krishna says, “Your mother! You are going to see your mother with no clothes on? Where have you learned your etiquette? Some decency is required. At least wear some gumcha or something and go to see your mother. I know you had a bad day in the battlefield but that does not mean you have to become mental.” So what happens now? Duryodhana thinks, “Yes, it is very bad. I am very much embarrassed.” He tells himself and checks himself. “I am going to wear my gamcha now. Once Krishna goes, and I stand before my mother, I will take it off. Then everything will be alright.” So he goes before his mother. Gandhari says, “Are you ready son? Is everything okay as I told you?” He says “Yes.” She opens her eyes and sees him. She goes all the way down and she sees the gamcha. At the end of it, Duryodhana's thighs could not be strengthened because they were covered. Gandhari tells Duryodhana, “I gave you just a simple instruction to take off your clothes and stand.” He said, “I met Krishna.” Gandhari thought, “why of all people must my son meet Krishna? In the night, the Pandavas were very happy and they must have all gone to sleep. Why is this Krishna roaming around?” She asks, “What did Krishna tell you?” He said, “Krishna told me just wear a gamcha and it is not right to walk around without any clothes. Mother, I agreed to Him and I told myself I will remember at the right point, this instruction that I should remove my clothes.” But Gandhari realized with an air of resignation that no matter what she planned for her son, the truth is Krishna in a very simple and cheeky way was teaching her something that, “Gandhari, whatever plans you have for your son, is not within My line of vision. It is not going to help. You are only going to be disturbed.” But till the end of the war, Gandhari could not accept this. Even though Gandhari was a very virtuous lady.

The Srimad Bhagwad Gita is one of the cores of Indian spiritual books that was a guiding light for the selfless heroes during the dark days of our fight for Independence. The 700-year-old Hindu Text is always there for a person who is trying to figure out his or her place in the world. Gita states every person on this earth was once a part of the spirit of the Universe and the mortal plane where one must discipline him or herself and achieve their dharma. The aim of the Gita is to help a person achieve moksha and reunite their spirits with the spirit of the universe, Brahma. Gita is the narration of the conversation between Arjuna and his sarathi Lord Krishna. Arjuna seeks counsel from Lord Krishna when he faced with the dilemma of going to war against his own family. Chapters covered in this path are 1. Dhritarashtra & Sanjay. 2. Commentary on Mahabharat. 3. Guru Drona and Duryodhan. 4. Sound of the conchshell. 5. Arjun amongst Kith & Kin. 6. Arjun in Distress.

The question asked was if some light could be shed on the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. In answer to this question, Om swami says that if the gist has to be given, then, it can be said that Arjun was foolish, adamant, ill-tempered and egoistic, but, he was also surrendered to God and he chose God above everything else. Due to this, he got saved, as God stood by him. Duryodhan also had all these negative traits but he was not surrendered. For him, fame and riches mattered much more than God. Om Swami says that surrender is that quality in a person, which, like a brilliant sun can burn all the negative traits of a person into ashes. To take care and look after the well-being of a person who has only doubts, is next to impossible as neither can they be a student nor a teacher. When Arjun realized who Krishna actually was, he felt very remorseful of how casually he had treated Krishna and he begged for forgiveness and tells him that henceforth he would do exactly as he was instructed by him. Om Swami says, that actually if you see, there was no conversation between Krishna and Arjun. It was between Arjun and God(Bhagawan). In Bhagavad Gita, whenever Krishna speaks, it has been written as God says and not as Krishna says, as it can be difficult for people to surrender to Krishna, but it is easier surrendering to Bhagawan. He says, that when someone is surrendered, how can there be any questions? And if someone is not then what is the use of questions? For then, they are just looking for more questions to ask and not for answers. He says that the Bhagavad Gita or the conversation between Arjun and Krishna was solely for the benefit and welfare of humanity. Listen to the full discourse to get a proper insight of the topic.

हम देखेंगे कि किस तरह से दुर्योधन ने पांडवों के खिलाफ अपना बदला उन्हें जुए के खेल में हरा कर लिया। हम भगवान कृष्ण का एक और चमत्कार भी देखेंगे और देखेंगे कि किस तरह से अंत में पांडव और कौरवों के बीच में लड़ाई होते होते रह गई।

A conversation between Duryodhan's wife, Bhanumati and daughter Lakshmana. A heart to heart talk between a mother and a daughter on as to how the scriptures wrote and how the world saw Duryodhan in contrast to how a wife saw him. A different perceptive on Duryodhan's persona.
