It is believed to be having a holy history of two and a half centuries or more. The present temple had been once an altar with its several shrines and densely covered forests. As days pass on the temple acquires more and more sanctity and divinity but by the power of godly entities. The important deities are ‘Nagaraja’, ‘Nagaramma’ and ‘Nagakanya’. The fact is that Sree Vasuki, supposed to be the personification of the power of the Lord Shiva, is worshipped as the Nagaraja. Hence, importance is given to Shiva worship. In addition, the Nagaramma, Nagakanya and the Nagaraja are believed to bless the devotees who come on the holy threshold of the Sanctum - Sanctorum. They represent the Gods who provide good and loving children, progress and fortune and are easily propitiated. A vision back to one century upon the temple, throws light on the miraculous experiences of devotees. It is said that once when a child cried for the plantain fruit brought to the temple by a devotee, her mother tried to convince her that it can be had only after offering it to God. Then she took the child back home. But to everybody’s surprise, next day a fruit could be seen on the threshold of the home with a mark of snake bite (a deep cut with the fang) on it. It is an incident known to almost all the people around. Local Over 5000 RELEVANCE- NO.

The Gita According to GANDHI
The Gita according to GANDHI The Gospel of Selfless Action OR The Gita according to GANDHI By: Mahadev Desai First Published: August 1946 Printed & Published by: Vivek Jitendrabhai Desai Navajivan Mudranalaya Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) www.mkgandhi.org Page 1 The Gita according to GANDHI Forward The following pages by Mahadev Desai are an ambitious project. It represents his unremitting labours during his prison life in 1933-'34. Every page is evidence of his scholarship and exhaustive study of all he could lay hands upon regarding the Bhagavad Gita, poetically called the Song Celestial by Sir Edwin Arnold. The immediate cause of this labour of love was my translation in Gujarati of the divine book as I understood it. In trying to give a translation of my meaning of the Gita, he found himself writing an original commentary on the Gita. The book might have been published during his lifetime, if I could have made time to go through the manuscript. I read some portions with him, but exigencies of my work had to interrupt the reading. Then followed the imprisonments of August 1942, and his sudden death within six days of our imprisonment. All of his immediate friends decided to give his reverent study of the Gita to the public. He had copies typed for his English friends who were impatient to see the commentary in print. And Pyarelal, who was collaborator with Mahadev Desai for many years, went through the whole manuscript and undertook to perform the difficult task of proof reading. Hence this publication. Frankly, I do not pretend to any scholarship.

Title ID: 4173075 ISBN-13: 978-1482548501 ISBN-10: 148254850X published by Jagannatha Vallabha Vedic Research Center phone: +91 94373 00906 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.jagannathavallabha.com © 2011 PAVAN Correspondence address: PAVAN House Siddha Mahavira patana, Puri 752002 Orissa Chapter 10: Vibhuti yoga The Yoga of powers The word vibhuti contains many meanings, such as "powers", "opulences", "glories", "magic". Every living being has some of such "magic powers" - a special ability, or strength, or beauty - but not everyone has the same powers, or a power to an absolute degree. Among the materially embodied beings, such powers are always conditioned by circumstances and exhausted when they are used. Through the correct practice of yoga, a sadhaka can develop special vibhutis up to the level of siddhi ("perfection"), usually listed as being able to become extremely small (anima siddhi), extremely large (mahima siddhi), extremely light (laghima siddhi), reconfiguring the patterns of material atoms (vasitva siddhi), materializing things by attracting atoms from other places (prapti siddhi), controlling the minds of others (isitva siddhi), assuming any shape or form (kamavasayita siddhi), and manifesting all kinds of wonders (prakamya siddhi). Another of such powers consists in entering and controlling the body of another, living or dead (parakaya pravesa). Also, the knowledge of genuine yoga enables the serious sadhaka to control the material elements (such as fire, water, air etc), control the weather (call or dispel storms and lightning, bring or withhold rain, etc), travel in different dimensions and planets without any vehicle, call the dead back into their old body (usually temporarily), and so on.

Naga Worship in Jammu & Kashmir
[VOLUME 4 I ISSUE 4 I OCT. – DEC 2017] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 Naga Worship in Jammu & Kashmir Meenu Chib Scholar of PHD (History Department) University of Jammu. Received Oct. 27, 2017 Accepted Dec. 01, 2017 Origin: Naga worship most properly referred to as Naga cult in India is one of the oldest and wide spread forms of religion1. There is indication of snake worship in Egypt, Greece, and even in ancient Harappan culture of India2. The evidence of their worship can be traced with the help of various sources like the Harappan figurines, the Vedic literature, Puranas, Epics, Buddhist literature. There is evidence to suggest of veneration of snakes by Indus valley people. Naga worship existed in the Rigveda and various passages of Atharvaveda refers to the group of serpents and one referring to six serpents as the wardens or protectors of six quarters represented as a charm to win the favor of the serpent of all the region under heaven. Various Puranas like MatsyaPurana, PadmaPurana etc., also glorified the cult. Even in Buddhist literature, they were represented as animals or supernatural beings and had been depicted in various Jataka stories as listening to the sermons of Lord Budhha3. Even Alexander had noted the worship of snakes by Indians. Since he had conquered only the North Western regions, such worship, as noted by Arrian, must have been a feature of Punjab and the lower regions of Kashmir4. Even Chinese pilgrims Fa-Hian5 and Yuan Chwang6 refer to Nagas many a time.

PEEFACE TT is with grateful acknowledgment that I dedicate this volume to my friend and colleague. Professor C. C. Uhlenbeck, Ph.D., who, as my guru at the University of Amsterdam, was the first to introduce me to a knowledge of the mysterious Naga world as revealed in the archaic prose of the Paushyaparvan. In the summer of the year 1901 a visit to the Kulu valley brought me face to face with people who still pay reverence to those very serpent-demons known from early Indian literature. In the course of my subsequent wanderings through the Western Himalayas, which in their remote valleys have preserved so many ancient beliefs and customs, I had ample opportunity for collecting information regarding the worship of the Nagas, as it survives up to the present day. Other nations have known or still practise this form of animal worship. But it would be difficult to quote another instance in which it takes such a prominent place in literature folk-lore, and art, as it does in India.

The Song Celestial Or Bhagavad-Gita 67 Fifth Avenue
The Song Celestial or Bhagavad-Gita (From The Mahabharata) Being a Discourse Between Arjuna, Prince of India, and the Supreme Being Under the Form of Krishna Translated from the Sanskrit Text by Sir Edwin Arnold, M.A., K.C.I.E., C.S.I. New York Truslove, Hanson & Comba, Ltd. 67 Fifth Avenue 1900 Dedication TO INDIA So have I read this wonderful and spirit-thrilling speech, By Krishna and Prince Arjun held, discoursing each with each; So have I writ its wisdom here,--its hidden mystery, For England; O our India! as dear to me as She! EDWIN ARNOLD PREFACE This famous and marvellous Sanskrit poem occurs as an episode of the Mahabharata, in the sixth—or “Bhishma”—Parva of the great Hindoo epic. It enjoys immense popularity and authority in India, where it is reckoned as one of the “Five Jewels,”— pancharatnani—of Devanagiri literature. In plain but noble language it unfolds a philosophical system which remains to this day the prevailing Brahmanic belief, blending as it does the doctrines of Kapila, Patanjali, and the Vedas. So lofty are many of its declarations, so sublime its aspirations, so pure and tender its piety, that Schlegel, after his study of the poem, breaks forth into this outburst of delight and praise towards its unknown author: “Magistrorum reverentia a Brachmanis inter sanctissima pietatis officia refertur. Ergo te primum, Vates sanctissime, Numinisque hypopheta! quisquis tandem inter mortales dictus tu fueris, carminis bujus auctor,, cujus oraculis mens ad excelsa quaeque,quaeque,, aeterna atque divina, cum inenarraoih quddam delectatione rapitur-te primum, inquam, salvere jubeo, et vestigia tua semper adore.” Lassen re-echoes this splendid tribute; and indeed, so striking are some of the moralities here inculcated, and so close the parallelism—ofttimes actually verbal— between its teachings and those of the New Testament, that a controversy has arisen between Pandits and Missionaries on the point whether the author borrowed from Christian sources, or the Evangelists and Apostles from him.
