"Wheel of Dharma" or "Wheel of Law"), is one of the Ashtamangala symbols [1] that has represented dharma, the Buddha's teaching of the path to Nirvana, since the early period of Indian Buddhism. [2][note 1] Contents 1 Etymology 2 History 3 Usage 3.1 Buddhist usage 3.2 Beyond Buddhism 4 Notes 5 References 6 Sources 7 Further reading 8 External links Etymology The Classical Sanskrit noun dharma is a derivation from the root dh ṛ, which has a meaning of "to hold, maintain, keep", [note 2] and takes a meaning of "what is established or firm", and hence "law". It is derived from an older Vedic Sanskrit n-stem dharman- , with a literal meaning of "bearer, supporter", in a religious sense conceived as an aspect of Rta.[4] The word chakra derives from Proto-Indo-European * kʷek ʷlos , and its cognates include Greek kyklos , Lithuanian kaklas , Tocharian B kokale and English "wheel," as well as "circle" and "cycle." [5][6] * kʷek ʷlos is derived from the root * kʷel- , a verb that meant "to turn.".

  • Ashtamangala Deva Prasna
    www.BhaktivedantaCollege.org Ashtamangala Deva Prasna Copyright © 1996-1999 Shyamasundara Dasa [This is a popular article and has been published several times with slight editorial differences. It first appeared in an anthology of Astrology called Lessons in Hindu Astrology (1997). It then appeared in Diamond Fire Journal (1997) and again appeared in the Indian Vedic Astrology monthly magazine Express Star Teller (May 1999)] On the morning of July 23, 1982 I found myself outside a Durga temple on the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, South India. I was gathered with six of the most learned astrologers of the area, including my teacher Krishnan Potti, an author (in Malayalam) of over a dozen books on astrology, to do Ashtamangala Deva Prasna. The setting was lush with many fruit-bearing coconut and banana trees as well as the heady and intoxicating aroma of Champaka and Jasmine flowers. Incense wafted in the breeze outside as everyone in attendance: the temple managers, brahmanas (priest caste), pujaris (temple priests), and local congregation waited for the astrologers to begin the Ashtamangala Deva Prasna (hence forth ADP), a specialty of what could be called the Kerala school of astrology. Ashtamangala refers to two things: first of all it refers to a method of numerology which will be referred to later on; secondly it refers to eight (ashtha) auspicious (mangala) items that are used in this type of divination. These items are: ghee lamps (brass lamps with a wick in clarified butter), mirror, gold, milk, yogurt, fruits, book, and white cloth. Deva Prasna is a special kind of Prasna (Prasna--question, horary astrology) specifically dealing with temple matters.

It is essential to maintain the analytical standards of each formulation for a quality production of these medicines. Ghruta Murcchana is a unique pharmaceutical process prior to the preparation of Ghruta formulations. Ashtamangala Ghruta is a formulation indicated for the treatment of all types of fever. Both Murcchita Go-Ghruta and Ashtamangala Ghruta are prepared according to the standard operative procedure mentioned in the classics. The present study was focused on analytical studies of Murcchita Go-ghruta and Ashtamangala Ghruta, which was carried out separately on the basis of classically illustrated organoleptic tests, modern physico-chemical parameters like Loss on Drying at 1100C, Refractive index at 400C, Ester value, Saponification Value, Acid Value, Iodine Value, Peroxide Value and HPTLC etc.

  • Manavala Mamuni Thiruvarasu
    Sri: 2 the fearful howls of jackals. In place of the aroma of the smoke The Need of the hour - Sri Manavalamamunighal from the sacred fires in the Brahmin settlements, there was now the stink of raw meat spreading amid shouts of drunken Thiruvarasu Project : Restoration of the soldiers”. [Professor M.R. Sampathkumaran (1988) Sri Acharya’s Thiruvarasu and his ideals Manavala Mahamuni in Historical Context, in "Sri Ramanuja Vani"] The task of restoring SriRangam back to its former glory would have been beyond most. Yet mortals do what they can; genius does what it must. Within thirty years, Sri Manavalamamunighal had re- stored Srirangam to its former architectural, intellectual, cultural and spiritual magnificence. His achievements peaked from 1432-1433 when he faithfully embellished Nampillai's Idu lecture. Lord Ranganatha, listening awestruck and mesmerized, then accepted Sri Manavalamamunighal as His acharya: "Srisailesa dayapatram dhibhaktyadi gunarnavam ACTION COMMITTEE Yatindra pravanam vande Ramyajamataram munim" [I offer my respects to Sri Manavalamamunighal, the H.H.Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana receptacle of Srisailesa's (Tiruvaimozhi Pillai's) grace.
