Pancha Bootha Sthalams PANCHA BOOTHA STHALAMS PANCHA BOOTHA STHALAMS Pancha indicates five, Bootha means elements and Sthalam means place. Our Hindus belief holds life as a synthesis of the five basic elements (the pancha Boothams) - Prithvi(Earth), Jala(Water), Agni(Fire), Vayu(Air) and Ether(Space). The Pancha Bootha Sthalams dedicated to Lord Shiva constitute a set of five Saivite temples held in reverence for centuries. Lord Shiva is worshipped as the embodiment of each of the five elements in these vast temples. All these temples are located in South India with four in Tamilnadu and one in Andhra Pradesh. EARTH - Ekambareshwarar - Kanchipuram (Tamilnadu) WATER - Jambukeshwarar - Thiruvanaikaval (Tamilnadu) FIRE - Arunachaleshwarar - Tiruvannamalai (Tamilnadu) AIR - Kalahastheeswarar - Sri Kalahasthi (Andhra Pradesh) SPACE - Natarajar - Chidambaram (Tamilnadu) �Om Namah Shivaaya� Contd..2 -2- EARTH - PANCHA BOOTHA STHALAMS - 1 of 5 - Ekambareshwarar - Kancheepuram Ekambareshwarar temple is in Kancheepuram, at 72kms from Chennai in Tamilnadu. This temple represents the Prithvi (Earth) element among the Pancha Bootha Sthalams. Contd..3 -3- As per the legend, Goddess Parvati once playfully closed the eyes of Lord Shiva, and the entire universe went into darkness. Lord Shiva opened his third eye and gave light to the whole universe. To make her realise the folly of her action Lord Shiva renounced Goddess Parvathi. She then left her abode in 'Kailash' and came down to Kancheepuram. Kamakshi (Goddess Parvati) worshipped Shiva in the form of a Prithivi Lingam (Lingam made out of sand), under a mango tree on the banks of River Kambai. Lord Shiva wanted to test her devotion and caused the river to swell. Kamakshi, embraced the Linga and saved it from getting eroded. Shiva touched by the gesture materialized in person and married her. He is therefore known here as Ekambra Nathar (Ekam + Amram= Lord from the Mango tree). The sthala vriksha (sacred tree of the shrine) is, naturally, the mango tree. This tree is said to be 3500 years old and yields 4 different varieties of mangoes (representing 4 Vedas). Inside this temple, there is also a Vishnu shrine called Nilaathunda Perumal. According to legend, Vishnu’s skin was scorched by the acidic breath of the serpent Vasuki. He came here and prayed to Lord Siva; the cool light of the moon on Siva’s head healed Vishnu’s wounds. The temple is famous for its Kubera sculpture showing the Lord of Wealth on His Fish vehicle. This is installed in 12 spots in the temple representing the 12 zodiac signs. When viewed from an upper place, it is said that the idols combined together looks like OM letter shape. It is believed that devotees praying Kubera here will be blessed with all kinds of wealth. This vast temple has some breathtaking sculptures of deities and characters from Hindu Puranas. �Proud to be A Hindu����� WATER - PANCHA BOOTHA STHALAMS - 2 of 5 - Jambukeshwarar - Thiruvanaikaval Thiruvanaikaval temple is near Trichy in Tamilnadu. This temple represents the Jala (Water) element among the Pancha Bootha Sthalams. As per legend, once Goddess Parvati mocked Lord Shiva’s penance for betterment of the world. Shiva then banished her to earth to do penance, Parvathi in the form of Akilandeswari as per Shiva's wish found Jambu forest (Thiruvanaikoil) to conduct her penance. She made a lingam out of water of river Cauvery under the Venn Naaval tree and commenced her worship. Contd..2 -2- The lingam is known as Appu Lingam (Water Lingam). Later Shiva gave darshan to Akilandeswari and taught her "Shiva Gnana". As Akilandeswari worshipped Lord Shiva in this temple, even today at noon the 'Archakar' (priest) dresses like a female and does Pooja to Jambukeswarar and 'Ko Maatha' (Cow). Annabhishekam to lingam (ablution with cooked rice) is a daily ritual performed in the temple. As per another legend Sage 'Jambu Munivar' got a rare 'Venn Naaval' (Venn – White, White variety if Naaval fruit) and offered to Lord Shiva. The Lord after eating the fruit spitted the seed. Jambu Munivar took it and swallowed as its sacred since it came from the Lord’s mouth. Immediately a 'Naaval' tree began to grow in the Saint's head. After many years Devi Akilandeswari worshiped Lord Shiva under that tree during her penance. Thus as he took abode under the tree on Jambu Munivar he was called as 'Jambukeshwara' and the place is called as 'Jambukeshwaram'. Also thus the 'Venn Naaval' became the 'Sthala Vriksham' (Temple’s Sacred tree). As per yet another legend, there were two Siva Ganas (Siva’s disciples who live in Kailash) by name 'Malyavan' and 'Pushpadanta' but they always quarrel with each other. In one such occasions, 'Malyavan' cursed 'Pushpadanta' to become an elephant in earth and the latter cursed the former to become a spider. Both the elephant and the spider came to Jambukeshwaram and continued their Shiva worship. The elephant collected water from river Cauvery and conducted Abhishekam to the tree. The spider constructed his web over the lingam to prevent dry leaves from dropping on it and prevent Sunlight directly falling on Shiva. Contd..3 -3- Whenever the elephant saw the web, it tore them and cleaned the Linga by pouring water. One day spider became angry and crawled into the trunk of the elephant and bit the elephant to death and killing itself. Lord Shiva, moved by the deep devotion of the two, blessed them here. As elephant worshipped the Lord here, this place came to be known as 'Thiru Aanai Kaa' (Thiru – Holy, Aanai – Elephant, Kaa (Kaadu) – Forest). Later 'Thiruaanaikaa' became 'Thiruvanaikaval' and also 'Thiruvanaikoil'. In the next birth the Spider was born (due to its sin of killing the elephant) as King Kotchengannan Chola and built 70 temples and Thiruvanaikoil is the one among them. Remembering his enmity with the elephant in his previous birth, he built the Lord Shiva 'Sannathi'(Sanctorum) such that not even a small elephant can enter. The entrance on the sanctorum of Lord Shiva is only 4 foot high and 2.5 foot wide. This is also a vast temple having some breathtaking sculptures of deities and characters from Hindu Puranas. �Proud to be A Hindu����� Contd..2 -2- FIRE - PANCHA BOOTHA STHALAMS 3 of 5 - Arunachaleshwarar - Tiruvannamalai Arunachaleshwarar temple is in Tiruvannamalai in Tamilnadu. This temple represents the Agni (Fire) element among the Pancha Bootha Sthalams. Aruna means red or fire and Achala means immovable mount. Since Lord Shiva manifested himself in the form of fire in this place, he is known as Arunachaleshwarar. As per legend, once Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma contested for superiority, Lord Shiva appeared as a column of fire and challenged them to find his source. Brahma took the form of a swan, and flew to the sky to see the top of the flame, while Vishnu became the boar Varaha, and sought its base. The scene is called Lingothbhava, and is represented in the western wall at the sanctum of most Shiva temples. Neither Brahma nor Vishnu could find the source, Vishnu conceded his defeat. Unable to see the crown, Brahma saw a thazhambu flower which had decked Shiva's crown falling down. He asked the flower as to the distance of Shiva's crown whereby the flower replied that he had been falling for forty thousand years. Brahma realizing that he would not be able to reach the crown asked the flower to act as a false witness. Thazhambu flower acting as a false witness declared that Brahma had seen the crown. Shiva became angry at the deception and cursed that Brahma should have no temple on earth and that the thazhambu flower should not be used while praying to Lord Shiva. The place where Lord Shiva stood as a column of fire to eliminate the ego is Tiruvannamalai. Contd..3 -3- As per another legend, Mother Parvathi wanted to get equal half of Lord Shiva's body. She did penance at Pavalakundru in Tiruvannamalai as per the Lord's wish. A demon called Makidasuran disturbed the penance of the Mother. She took the form of goddess Durga Devi and destroyed him on the full moon day of the Tamil Month of Karthigai (Mid-Nov to Mid-Dec) during the auspicious period of pradosham. Lord Shiva presented himself in the form of Fire atop the hill and merged Goddess Parvathi on the left half of his body. To commemorate this event, Karthigai festival is celebrated every year during Karthigai month in Kiruthigai Star. Arthanareeswarar (half man - half woman form of the Lord) presents himself as Jyothi Swaroopa to his devotees on the 10th day of Karthigai Festival exactly at 6pm. The Annamalai Hill was Agni (fire) during Krithayugam, was Manikkam (Emerald) during Threthayugam, was pon (Gold) during Dwaprayugam and rock during Kaliyugam as per the ancient legends. Girivalam (circumbulation of the Arunachala Hill) is done every month on the full moon day by a large gathering of devotees. There are eight lingams around the hill, one in each direction. It is believed that one who does Girivalam gets a lot of spiritual strength and various health benefits. �Proud to be A Hindu����� Contd..2 -2- AIR - PANCHA BOOTHA STHALAMS - 4 of 5 - Kalahastheeswarar - Sri Kalahasthi Sri Kalahasthi temple is situated 36 kms away from Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. This temple represents the Vayu (Air) element among the Pancha Bootha Sthalams. It is also regarded as Rahu-Ketu kshetra and Dakshina Kasi. As per legend, Lord Vayu performed penance for thousands of years to "Karpoora lingam" (Karpoora - Camphor). Pleased by his devotion the Lord granted the following boons as requested by Lord Vayu Vayu will be spread throughout this world. Without Vayu there will be no life.

  • Akasha (Space) and Shabda (Sound): Vedic and Acoustical Perspectives
    1 Akasha (Space) and Shabda (Sound): Vedic and Acoustical perspectives M.G. Prasad Department of Mechanical Engineering Stevens Institute of Technology Hoboken, New Jersey [email protected] Abstract A sequential ordering of five elements on their decreasing subtlety, namely space, air fire, water and earth is stated by Narayanopanishat in Atharva Veda. This statement is examined from an acoustical point of view. The space as an element (bhuta) is qualified by sound as its descriptor (tanmatra). The relation between space and sound and their subtle nature in reference to senses of perception will be presented. The placement of space as the first element and sound as its only property will be discussed in a scientific perspective. Introduction The five elements and their properties are referred to in various places in the Vedic literature. An element is the substance (dravya) which has an associated property (of qualities) termed as guna. The substance-property (or dravya- guna) relationship is very important in dealing with human perception and its nature through the five senses. Several Upanishads and the darshana shastras have dealt with the topic of substance-property (see list of references at the end). The sequential ordering of the five elements is a fundamental issue when dealing with the role of five elements and their properties in the cosmological evolution of the universe. At the same time the order of the properties of elements is also fundamental issue when dealing with the perception of elements is also a through five senses. This paper focuses attention on the element-property (or dravya-guna) relation in reference to space as the element and sound as its property.

  • Yin-Yang, the Five Phases (Wu-Xing), and the Yijing 陰陽 / 五行 / 易經
    Yin-yang, the Five Phases (wu-xing), and the Yijing 陰陽 / 五行 / 易經 In the Yijing, yang is represented by a solid line ( ) and yin by a broken line ( ); these are called the "Two Modes" (liang yi 兩義). The figure above depicts the yin-yang cycle mapped as a day. This can be divided into four stages, each corresponding to one of the "Four Images" (si xiang 四象) of the Yijing: 1. young yang (in this case midnight to 6 a.m.): unchanging yang 2. mature yang (6 a.m. to noon): changing yang 3. young yin (noon to 6 p.m.): unchanging yin 4. mature yin (6 p.m. to midnight): changing yin These four stages of changes in turn correspond to four of the Five Phases (wu xing), with the fifth one (earth) corresponding to the perfect balance of yin and yang: | yang | yin | | fire | water | Mature| |earth | | | wood | metal | Young | | | Combining the above two patterns yields the "generating cycle" (below left) of the Five Phases: Combining yin and yang in three-line diagrams yields the "Eight Trigrams" (ba gua 八卦) of the Yijing: Qian Dui Li Zhen Sun Kan Gen Kun (Heaven) (Lake) (Fire) (Thunder) (Wind) (Water) (Mountain) (Earth) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The Eight Trigrams can also be mapped against the yin-yang cycle, represented below as the famous Taiji (Supreme Polarity) Diagram (taijitu 太極圖): This also reflects a binary numbering system. If the solid (yang) line is assigned the value of 0 and the broken (yin) line is 1, the Eight Trigram can be arranged to represent the numbers 0 through 7.

  • Possession and Deployment of Nuclear Weapons in South Asia an Assessment of Some Risks
    Special articles Possession and Deployment of Nuclear Weapons in South Asia An Assessment of Some Risks This paper examines some of operational requirements and the dangers that come with the possibility that in the foreseeable future India and Pakistan may deploy their nuclear arsenals. The authors first describe the analytical basis for the inevitability of accidents in complex high-technology systems. Then they turn to potential failures of nuclear command and control and early warning systems as examples. They go on to discuss the possibility and consequences of accidental explosions involving nuclear weapons and their delivery systems. Finally some measures to reduce these risks are suggested.

  • The Capabilities and Potential Effectiveness of India's Prithvi Missile Z

Reprints available directly from the publisher Published by license under Photocopyingpermitted by license only the Gordon and Breach Publishersimprint. Printed in India Bringing Prithvi Down to Earth: The Capabilities and Potential Effectiveness of India's Prithvi Missile z. MianO, A.H. Nayyarb and M. V. Ramanac - Prelude: The following paper was written prior to Pakistan's test of the Ghauri missile in April 1998 and also India and Pakistan's May 1998 nuclear weapon tests. In recent years, the development, testing and ambiguous deployment status of India's short range Prithvi missile has caused great concern in Pakistan, and accelerated the missile race in South Asia. This paper summarizes the open literature descriptions of Prithvi and assessesthe military effectiveness of Prithvi if it is used with conventional warheads in attacks on Pakistani airfields, command centers, and radar installations. It is shown that the current accuracy of Prithvi is such that a very large number of missiles would be needed to damage or destroy such targets. Given India's large air force, the small number of Prithvi missiles that have been ordered by India's armed forces, and the much larger number of missiles required to pose a significant additional military threat to Pakistan, the justification for Prithvi is obviously open to question. It is suggested that the induction of Prithvi with its present limited capabilities may be largely a result of institutional pressure from India's Defense Research and Develop- ment Organization, which is responsible for the missile program, rather than demand from the armed forces.

  • An Analytical and Comparative Study of Indian and Chinese Cosmologies
    AN ANALYTICAL AND COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INDIAN AND CHINESE COSMOLOGIES S. MAHDIHASSAN* ABSTRACT To understand Chinese Cosmology in terms of the Indian system we have to look upon Cninese elements as symbols of the qualities they incorporate. The elements rearranged with the corresponding qualities would be : As elements: Fire. Water, Metal, Earth and Wood. As quali- ties: Hot, Cold, Dry, Moist, and Wind. Nothing can be drier than a metal hence dryness is symbolized as Metal. Subsoil is invariabry moist, hence moisture is symbolized as Earth. Wood is fresh - wood, like a cutting which transplants another life- form. It is potential life, like an egg, or better still here cosmic egg, the source of all creation. Its content is wind, like pneuma in Greek philosophy. Life-breath, the source of cosmic move- ment, cosmic existence, in fact cosmic soul. Life-energy is creative energy and Akasha as container would have cosmic soul as content. This makes wind (as cosmic) = Akasha, 1. A problem in comparative cosmology: By cosmology is understood a system of interpreting the universe III terms of few irreducible factors called Cosmic elements. Now \\ hatever exists in the universe can be either a form of matter, like star, stone and plant, or a form of energy, like heat and light. Further we must recognize entities as being independent of others, like stone as matter and heat as energy. Then what is merely relative, like heat and cold, these would be one and same entity, which concentrated would be called heat and reduced would be felt as cold. Thirdly there would be hypothetical entities logically justifiable but not knowable.

  • Ahara Chikitsa
    Ahara chikitsa - AshtangaHridayam It means that you should not eat full stomach, but leave a little space for proper digestion to - Eat to 1/2 capacity of stomach, drink to 1/4 and leave 1/4 for air TYPES OF RASAS ​ According to the Ayurveda, there are six tastes. All the food substances which we are eating will be having any of these tastes or their combinations. • Madhura (Sweet) • Amla (Sour) • Lavana (Salty) • Tiktha (Bitte) Katu (Pungent) • Kashaya (Astringent) Taste is a quality of every substance. Each substance may have one or more tastes which is perceived when the substance comes in contact with the tongue. The first clearly recognizable taste is known as the Pradhana Rasa (the primary taste) and the remaining taste which is recognized later and mildly is Anurasa (the secondary taste). Each taste is more strengthening to the body in their order of precedence.
