Shatagni Weapon In Hindu Religion

Shatagni, or Shataghni, is a powerful and destructive weapon mentioned in scriptures in Hindu religion. It is mentioned in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. As per Dhanurveda (an upaVeda part of the Vedas), ancient Hindu treatise on weapons, it was something like a catapult – may be a missile. It is believed that Shatagni was a weapon that could kill 100 to 1000 enemies with a single stroke. The weapon is mentioned in the Bala Kanda chapter 1 (5). It is said that the city of Ayodhya had tall walls with standards, surmounted by hundreds of Shatagnis. This means that the weapon was something like a missile to protect the city from invaders. It is not stone set round with iron spikes as claimed by western interpreters. It is clearly stated in many places that the weapon had the power to kill more than 100 people in a single stroke. So it must be some kind of weapon similar to a missile that had to do with fire or some other kind of energy.

Traditional Method To Welcome A Guest As Per Hinduism

Arrival of guest is considered highly auspicious in Hinduism. All Hindu scriptures contain information on how to welcome a guest. A classic example of how a guest is to be welcomed is mentioned in the Bala Kanda chapter 1 (2). Here, Sage Valmiki welcomes Brahma, the creator, to his ashram.

Please note that as per some texts, arghya is a gift. But generally it is taken as water to drink.

Sequel To The Story Of The Hare And The Tortoise

After the tortoise had won the race against the hare, the other animals began to consult him about improving their running speeds. They had not seen what had happened during the race: half of them had been at the start, and the other half at the finishing tape. The first group had seen the hare dashing off into the distance, and the other group had seen the tortoise crawl across the finishing line, and the hare running up second. No one had actually seen the tortoise moving fast, but they came to believe, as the only explanation, that he must have gone into some sort of overdrive during the main part of the race, slowing down when he had passed the hare and was leading by a huge margin. As the animals had no watches, none of them knew just how long the race had taken. No one listened to the hare's story — a loser always has an excuse. The tortoise, at first, used to deny that he had any special powers, but they said so often, 'Oh, that is your modesty', that in the end
