Durgadas Rathore Jayanti 2024 Date – Birth Anniversary Of Veer Durgadas Rathod

Veer Durgadas Rathore (13 August 1638 – 22 November 1718) was the Rathod Rajput General of Kingdom of Marwar. In 2024, it is the 386th birth anniversary of Veer Durgadas Rathod. His jayanti celebrations are annually held on August 13. He is credited with having preserved the rule of the Rathore dynasty over Marwar, India, following the death of Maharaja Jaswant Singh in the 17th century. In doing so he had to defy Aurangzeb, a Mughal emperor. Durgadas Rathod commanded the Rathore forces during the Rajput War (1679–1707) and played a major role in the Rajput Rebellion 1708-1710 which became one of the main reasons of decline of Mughal Empire. He was elected as the leader of the revolt along with Raja Jai Singh II of Jaipur. He won a number of victories against the Mughals and forced many Mughal officers to pay tribute to him. He rebuilt a large number of temples destroyed by the Mughal army of Aurangzeb. He also gave courage to the Hindus to stand up against the oppression of Aurangze

Mukundamala – Devotional Poem King Kulasekhara

Mukundamala is a short devotional lyric in Sanskrit by King Kulasekhara (8 th – 96 th centuries CE). A verse from Mukundamala cited in a 13 th century CE inscription at Pagan in Myanmar, states that one who does not care for dharma or riches or enjoyment of pleasures should be prepared to accept whatever comes as the result of previous actions. The one constant prayer in Mukundamala is ‘may my mind be engaged in steady devotion to your lotus feet.’ King Kulasekhara is identified with the Vaishnava Saint Kulashekhara Alwar, author of Perumal – Thirumozhi in the Tamil Divya Prabandham, the cannon of southern Vaishnavism. Three verses from the work are quoted in Saduktikarnamrita (composed in 1205 CE) by Sridharadasa of Bengal, referring to Kulashekhara as author. Two other verses are also quoted without being ascribed to Kulashekhara. Yasastilakacampu composed in 950 CE contains a phrase which echoes a verse in Mukundamala. This suggests a date earlier than the 10 th century CE

Chandogya Upanishad Teachings On Meditation

A form of meditation is called upadesha. The pupil goes to a teacher who leads him to the highest form of knowledge. However, mere analysis or listening to the guru is not enough to attain the knowledge of Brahman. Upanishads insist that the teachings be supplemented by meditation. The highest form of meditation is said to be concentration on the truth aham brahmasmi – I am Brahman. This is the absolute Brahman which is one with our inner self. One has to learn this kind of meditation from the right guru. Upanishads give various hints regarding the methods of meditation. Hence, guru’s guidance is very important, for without him we still remain ignorant. Upanishads, however, declare that the heart of man is the sanctuary wherein the Supreme Brahman dwells.
