Trilokapathagamini is one among the numerous names of Ganga. Trilokapathagamini means flowing in three worlds. Ganga crossed over from heaven to earth and then to the underworld or patala. Thus, she flowed in the three worlds. Ganga flowed in the heavens and King Sagara and his seven generations performed intense austerities and tapas to bring Ganga down to earth. King Bhagirath, great grandson of King Sagara, succeeded in attaining the boon to bring Ganga down to earth. As the torrential flow of Ganga could destroy the earth, Shiva caught the river on his matted locks before releasing her to flow on earth ( you can read the story here ). Ganga then followed King Bhagirath from mountains to plains to the sea. From there, Ganga River reached the nether regions or Patala where she became the liberating waters for the sons of Sagara.

Karna only makes a single request that he should be cremated at a spot where no cremation has taken place. Sri Krishna ful...

Agnihotra in Hinduism is an ancient fire sacrifice or yajna dedicated to Agni, the Hindu fire god. In the Agnihotra ritual a small fire is made with dried cow-dung cakes. Some grains of rice and ghee (clarified unsalted butter) are offered into the fire exactly at sunrise and sunset to the accompaniment of two simple mantras. The offering is made to three fires - garhapatya, ahavaniya and dakshina. Only the head of the family who has installed three fires after the agni-adhana ritual (of kindling fire by the friction of two wooden sticks) is eligible to perform agnihotra. After agnihotra, either all the three fires are kept aglow in the house by the performer and his spouse throughout their life, or garhapatya (the domestic fire) is kept burning, and the other two are lit from it at each agnihotra performance.  As per the Mahabharata, it is the best Vedic yajna. It is simple Vedic ritual to be performed daily by the head of the family and his spouse.  There is also a...
