VEDIC WISDOM
Perspective of Super Human Shri Hanuman ji based on Shri Vaalmeeki Raamayana
Was Hanumaan ji really a monkey and he had a tail?
🌑 जहाँ तक जाम्बवान के रीछ होने का प्रश्न हैं। जब युद्ध में राम-लक्ष्मण मेघनाद के ब्रहमास्त्र से घायल हो गए थे तब किसी को भी उस संकट से बाहर निकलने का उपाय नहीं सूझ रहा था। तब विभीषण और हनुमान जाम्बवान के पास गये तब जाम्बवान ने हनुमान को हिमालय जाकर ऋषभ नामक पर्वत और कैलाश नामक पर्वत से संजीवनी नामक औषधि लाने को कहा था।
सन्दर्भ युद्ध कांड सर्ग-74/31-34 आपत काल में
बुद्धिमान और विद्वान जनों से संकट का हल पूछा जाता हैं और युद्ध जैसे काल में ऐसा निर्णय किसी अत्यंत बुद्धिवान और विचारवान व्यक्ति से,पूछा जाता हैं। पशु-पक्षी आदि से ऐसे संकट काल में उपाय पूछना सर्वप्रथम तो संभव ही नहीं हैं दूसरे बुद्धि से परे की बात हैं।
इन सब वर्णन और विवरणों को बुद्धि पूर्वक पढने के पश्चात कौन मान सकता हैं की हनुमान, बालि, सुग्रीव आदि विद्वान एवं बुद्धिमान मनुष्य न होकर बन्दर आदि थे। यह केवल मात्र एक कल्पना हैं और अपने श्रेष्ठ महापुरुषों के विषय में असत्य कथन हैं।
कुछ मुर्ख हनुमानजी आदी को बन्दर सिद्ध करने के लिऐ "डार्विन के सिद्धांत" का भी तर्क देते है, तो उन अक्ल के अन्धो को बता देना चाहता हु की "डार्विन के सिद्धांत" को उसके ही देश मे नही पडाया जात वहा भी उसे कोरी गप्प करते है । डार्विन के सिद्धांत के बारे मे अधीक जानने हेतु,नजदीकी आर्य समाज मे जाकर के "वेदीक समप्ती" नामक पुस्तक पड लेना जिसमे "भारत की विश्व भर को विज्ञान के श्रेत्र मे दी गई देन" व डार्विन जेसे गप्पेबाज वेज्ञानिको के गप्पो की विस्तार से पोल-खोल रखी है।
|| सत्य सनातन वेदीक धर्म की जय ||
लोट चलो वेदो की ओर —
Where there is question of Jaambvaan being a badger/bear (reechh). When in a battle with Meghnaatha, Rama –Lakshmana were wounded with the Missile (Bramastera), and then no body was finding any solution to come out of crises. Then Vibheeshana and Hanumana went to Jambvaan. Then Jambvaan asked Hanumaana to bring Sanjeevani herb from the mountains called Rishabh and Kailash.
Reference – Yudha Kaanda Sarg – 74/31-34. The solution of crises asked in emergencies is asked from wise and leaned persons. In the situations like war, these decisions are asked from some highly cogitative and intellectual person. It is not possible to ask the solutions of problems from animals and birds at the time of crises, secondly it is against wisdom.
(Ancient Indian Scriptures – Shri VaalaMeeki Raamayana)

THE TRUE SPIRIT OF SHRI KRISHNA JANMAASHTAMI

Celebrating Janmaashtami is meaningful—but the celebration becomes truly worthwhile when we learn from Krishna’s life and teachings.

Let us renew our commitment to:

Yog — discipline of body, mind, and self

Yajnya — selfless action and contribution

Vedic Knowledge — the pursuit of truth and wisdom

Dharma — righteous living

Rather than simply remembering Krishna, let us ask:

What can we learn from his life—and how can we bring those values into our own?

Happy Shri Krishna Janmaashtami!

True perspective of Super Human Shri Hanuman ji based on Shri Baalmeeki Raamayana
Was Hanumaan ji really a monkey and he had a tail?
क्या वाकई हनुमान जी बन्दर थे? Was Hanuman ji really a monkey?
क्या वाकई में उनकी पूंछ थी ? Had he really a tail?
🌑 सुंदर कांड (30/18,20) में जब हनुमान अशोक वाटिका में राक्षसियों के बीच में बैठी हुई सीता को अपना परिचय देने से पहले हनुमानजी सोचते हैं “यदि द्विजाति (ब्राह्मण-क्षत्रिय- वैश्य) के समान परिमार्जित संस्कृत भाषा का प्रयोग करूँगा तो सीता मुझे रावण समझकर भय से संत्रस्त हो जाएगी।
मेरे इस वनवासी रूप को देखकर तथा नागरिक संस्कृत को सुनकर पहले ही राक्षसों से डरी हुई यह सीता और भयभीत हो जाएगी। मुझको कामरूपी रावण समझकर भयातुर विशालाक्षी सीता कोलाहल आरंभ करदेगी। इसलिए मैं सामान्य नागरिक के समान परिमार्जित भाषा का प्रयोग करूँगा।” इस प्रमाणों से यह सिद्ध होता हैं की हनुमान जी चारों वेद, व्याकरण और संस्कृत सहित अनेक भाषायों के ज्ञाता भी थे।
In SUNDERA KANDA (30/18, 20), When seeing SEETAA sitting in the Ashoka Vatika surrounded by demon women, He thinks before introducing himself,” If I will speak in sophisticated Sanskrit like educated people (Brahmin, kshatriya, Vaishya), Seetaa will be horrified with fear after considering me Raavana”.
“After seeing me in the forester dress, Seetaa will be more horrified being already fearful from demon women. The great Seetaa will start raising hue and cry after considering me the duplicate Raavana. So I will use the normal language like an ordinary citizen.” It is evident from these proofs that Hanuman ji was well versed in four Vedas, grammar and Sanskrit along with the knower of many languages.

न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते।
Na hi jnyaanena sadrisham pavitramiha vidyate. (BG 4.38)

There is nothing in this world as purifying as knowledge.

Janmaashtami is a reminder to cultivate clarity over confusion, discipline over impulse, and wisdom over reaction.

🌑 जहाँ तक जटायु का प्रश्न हैं वह गिद्ध नामक पक्षी नहीं था। जिस समय रावण सीता का अपहरण कर उसे ले जा रहा था तब जटायु को देख कर सीता ने कहाँ – हे आर्य जटायु !
यह पापी राक्षस पति रावण मुझे अनाथ की भान्ति उठाये ले जा रहा हैं । सन्दर्भ-अरण्यक 49/38
जटायो पश्य मम आर्य ह्रियमाणम् अनाथवत् |
अनेन राक्षसेद्रेण करुणम् पाप कर्मणा || ४९-३८
कथम् तत् चन्द्र संकाशम् मुखम् आसीत् मनोहरम् |
सीतया कानि च उक्तानि तस्मिन् काले द्विजोत्तम|| ६८-६
यहाँ जटायु को आर्य और द्विज कहा गया हैं। यह शब्द किसी पशु-पक्षी के सम्बोधन में नहीं कहे जाते। रावण को अपना परिचय देते हुए जटायु ने कहा -मैं गृध कूट का भूतपूर्व राजा हूँ और मेरा नाम जटायु हैं सन्दर्भ - अरण्यक 50/4 (जटायुः नाम नाम्ना अहम् गृध्र राजो महाबलः | 50/4) यह भी निश्चित हैं की पशु-पक्षी किसी राज्य का राजा नहीं हो सकते।
इन प्रमाणों से यह सिद्ध होता हैं की जटायु पक्षी नहीं था अपितु एक मनुष्य था जो अपनी वृद्धावस्था में जंगल में वास कर रहा था।
As far as there is a question of Jataayu, he was not a vulture bird. When Seetaa was being taken by Raavana after her abduction, after seeing him, Seetaa called him Arya (noble) Jataayu!
“This sinner king of demons, Raavana is carrying me away considering me like an orphan.” Reference- Arnayaka Kanda 49/38.
“Jatayo pashya mam arya hriyamanam anathvat. I
Anen rakshedren karunam paap karmana II 49.38
Katham tat chander sankasham mukham aseet manoharam I
Seetya kani cha uktani tasmin kale dyijottam II 68/6
Here Jataayu has been called noble (Arya) and learned person (Dvij). These words are not used for calling/addressing any animal and bird. Giving his introduction to Raavana, Jataayu said,” I am the former king of Koot and my name is Jataayu.” Reference – Aranyak 50/4 (Jataayuh nama naamnaa aham Gridha Rajo mahabalah.” 50/4).
It is certain that no animal and bird can be the king of any kingdom.
It is proved from these evidences that Jataayu was not a bird but he was a human living in jungle due to his old age.

VEDIC WISDOM
TRUE PERSPECTIVE OF BHAGWAN SHRI KRISHNA
Lord Krishna An Enlightening Personality
Dr Satyapal Singh
Member of Parliament and BJP, Bagpat, Uttar Pradesh
Ex-Commissioner, Mumbai (Now Ex Minister in Union Cabinet)
[Note- Prashant Bhushan comment about Lord Krishna as eve-Teaser is an insulting comment. The main motive behind this comment seems to be political rather than factual. Many so called educated youths are still ignorant about the real character of Lord Krishna. This article by Dr. Satyapal Singh JI is quite relevant and educating to understand about the true personality of Lord Krishna. Editor-Dr Vivek Arya
(Continued
Unfaltering Faith
When Krishna completed his studies in the Sandeepanee Ashrama at Ujjayani Guru Angiras Ghora gave him a final instruction: “O Krishna! when you will reach the last moment of your life, when the death will be knocking at your door, recite the following sentences” 1) Tvam aksh*tamasi – Hey Almighty thou art eternal, non-decayable 2) Tvam achyutamasi -Thou art infallible /non-deviating 3) Tvam prana sansh*tamasi – Thou art the minutest and life infusing, similar to the prana. And the author of Upanishads says that Krishna was fully contented and appeased on getting this message. There is then no need of any instruction or advice, as Krishna was knowing that one can remember at the last moment only that which one follows or observes throughout his life.
And this is exactly why Krishna used to get up early at 3 am – the Brahma-muhurta (auspicious time) and used to repeat the Gayatri mantra thousand times. The Author of Mahabharata (the Vyasa Muni) writes that when Krishna went to Hastinapura as a messenger of peace, at the sunset, he would stop his chariot, take a pause, release the horses from chariot and sit for meditation on the way. During the war, when Abhimanyu was killed, Arjuna was in deep sorrow in the evening. Krishna was also very much grieved as Abhimanyu, the only son of his sister Subhadra and his bosom friend Arjuna was killed. But behold the stable – minded (sthitaprajna i.e. unification of grasping sustaining and recollecting faculties of knowledge – dhi, dhirti & smriti) Krishna. He instructs Arjuna to join him in evening prayers after which they could come back to this issue as well as the plan for next day’s war.
In Gita, for great happiness and serenity, (Prasannatva) Krishna again and again invites you to seek shelter and protection of that which is perfect and unchangeable Almighty, free from the shackles of birth and death, with His abode in the heart of every being, who controls everybody like the parts of a machine and bestows us the fruits and rewards of our deeds. He advises us to pray, repeat and recite Omkar for worshiping that Almighty who is praised by all Vedashastras and whom all the Rishimuni’s try to attain by penance and austerity.
And even when death (Lord Yama) in the form of an arrow of a hunter (Vyadha), approached and knocked his door, Shri krishna was engrossed in meditation of the Almighty. Wasn’t it totally and completely following the last instructions given to him at the end of his studies by his Guru. (Continued) By Vivek Arya
