Maitravaruna In Hinduism – Birth Of Sage Agastya and Sage Vasistha From Single Pot

Maitravaruna is a term for Sage Agastya and Sage Vasistha in Hinduism as they were born from a single pot. Mitra and Varuna are two different celestial. When joined, these two names become Mitravarunau (dual form). The offspring of these gods is called Maitravaruna. According to Devi Bhagavata (Skandha VI), King Nimi of the Ikshvaku dynasty wanted to perform a yajna with Vasistha as the chief priest. The yajna was to last for 500 years. Vasistha, who had already to the request of Indra to be the chief priest at a similar yajna, asked the king to postpone the ritual. The king, however, had his own way. He got the yajna performed with Gautama as the priest. This ritual, too, lasted five hundred years. Vasistha returned to the palace of Nimi after completing the ritual of Indra. He came to know that the king had already completed the yajna. He was made to wait for the king who was asleep. Vasistha felt insulted and cursed Nimi that he would be bodiless.

Mahodadhi And Puri Jagannath Temple – Ancient And Hindu Name For Bay Of Bengal

 Mahodadhi is the ancient and Hindu name for Bay of Bengal. The world famous Puri Jagannath Temple is located on the north of Mahodadhi. It is said that the Darubrahma (the divine log) was first spotted here floating at Bankimuhana near the seacoast. Another belief in Hinduism is that the fossilized hip bone of Sri Krishna which was stuffed into a log and thrown in the Arabian Sea at Dwaraka; it ultimately came floating to Puri.

We find various descriptions of creation and its origin in the Upanishads. The theory of creation in the Upanishads is twofold: Physical origin of universe, and Divine origin of universe.
