Dargah of Jalaluddin Rawan Was a Shiva Temple

 Dargah of Jalaluddin Rawan in Sulibhanjan, Khuldabad, Maharashtra, was a Shiva Temple.

It's clear, that the so called Dargah of Jalaluddin Rawan is built on a Shiva Temple. The Yoni part of Shivalingam is visible in the open ground of dargah.

The temple complex is 800 years old which was a part of Devgiri, Capital of Yadavas.  Jalaluddin Ganj-e-Rawa came from persia and decided to live here. The name of lake, Pariyon ka Talan is evidently a later name.

भगवान श्री कृष्ण : मैं ही ईश्वर हूँ।

Image
भगवान श्री कृष्ण ने भगवद गीता में अनेक बार कहा है कि वे ही परमेश्वर हैं। शायद ही किसी भी शस्त्र मैं किसी ने ऐसा कहा हो। इस ज्ञान को उन्हों ने कभी गुप्त रूप से और कभी सीधे-सीधे कहा है। प्रस्तुत हैं कुछ श्लोक जो इस बात की पुष्टि करतें हैं।    भोक्तारं   यज्ञतपसां   सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् ‌  । सुहृदं   सर्वभूतानां   ज्ञात्वा   मां   शान्तिमृच्छति   ॥ BG5.29 मुझे   समस्त   यज्ञों   तथा   तपस्याओं   का   परं   भोक्ता ,  समस्त   लोकों   तथा   देवताओं   का   परमेश्र्वर   एवं   समस्त   जीवों   का   उपकारी   एवं   हितैषी   जानकर   मेरे   भावनामृत   से   पूर्ण   पुरुष   भौतिक   दुखों   से   शान्ति   लाभ - करता   है  | योगिनामपि   सर्वेषां   मद्गतेनान्तरात्मना   । श्रद्धावान्भजते   यो   मां   स   मे   युक्ततमो   मतः   ॥ BG6.47  और   समस्त   योगियों   में   से   जो   योगी   अत्यन्त   श्रद्धापूर्वक   मेरे   परायण   है ,  अपने   अन्तःकरण   में   मेरे   विषय   में   सोचता   है   और   मेरी   दिव्य   प्रेमाभक्ति   करता   है   वह   योग   में   मुझसे   परम   अन्तरंग   रूप   में   युक्त   र

The Principle Of Al-Takiyah In Islam

Image
We should know about an important principle of Islam called as “Al-Takeyya”. There are many non-Muslims who are fooled into believing (by the Muslims) that Muhammad and Islam talk highly of them. They also proclaim to the non-Muslim world that Islam wants to have cordial relations with them. These are all lies. Islam allows Muslims to lie for religion. It is a binding principle of Islam and is called “Al-Takeyyah” (Al-Takiyah). Muslims use this principle to lie to the infidel unbelievers and tell that Islam is a religion of peace . Let me explain it fully. Like most religions, Islam in general, forbids lying. The Quran says, "Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies." (Quran 40:28). However, unlike other religions, within Islam there are certain provisions under which lying is not simply tolerated, but actually encouraged by Allah. This point is proven by many incidences in the life of Muhammad. He often lied and instructed his followers to do the same

Beef and the Environment

Beef  and the Environment ·         Giving up beef will reduce carbon footprint more than cars, says expert from  University of Oxford.  ·         “The US and Europe alike are using so much of their land in highly inefficient livestock farming systems, while so much good quality cropland is being used to grow animal feeds rather than human food. ” ·         Study shows red meat dwarfs others for environmental impact, using 28 times more land and 11 times water for pork or chicken. ·         Beef production results in five times more climate-warming emissions than chicken or pork.   Beef’s environmental impact dwarfs that of other meat including chicken and pork, new research reveals, with one expert saying that eating less red meat would be a better way for people to cut carbon emissions than giving up their cars. The heavy impact on the environment of meat production was known but the research shows a new scale and scope of damage, particularly for beef. The popular

Lord Krishna: I am god

Image
Lord Shri Krishna says multiple times in Bhagvad Gita directly and sometimes indirectly that "I AM THE SOURCE OF ALL". In no other scripture has anybody claimed this. There are a few selected verses for readers to read and make their own judgment on the subject.     भोक्तारं   यज्ञतपसां   सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् ‌  । सुहृदं   सर्वभूतानां   ज्ञात्वा   मां   शान्तिमृच्छति   ॥ Bg 5.29   —  A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries. योगिनामपि   सर्वेषां   मद्गतेनान्तरात्मना   । श्रद्धावान्भजते   यो   मां   स   मे   युक्ततमो   मतः   ॥ Bg 6.47   —  And of all yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself and renders transcendental loving service to Me – he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is t

COWS & SPIRITUALITY

Image
Kingdom of God:   Various religions of the world mention about the “kingdom of God”. Vedic texts give elaborate descriptions of It. Scriptures like Bhagwad Geeta, Bhagwad Puran, Garg Samhita and Brahma Samhita are some of them. In the spiritual realm, the Lord is engaged in herding the spiritual cows, as stated in the Hindu scriptures: cintamani-prakara-sadmasu kalpavriksha- lakshavrteshu surabhir abhipaalayantam lakshmi-sahasra-sata-sambhrama-sevyamanam govindam aadi-purusham tam aham bhajami [Brahma-samhita] “Lord Krishna is situated in a spiritual abode made of transcendental gems. In that abode he is surrounded by millions of desire fulfilling trees  (kalpa-vriksha),  and he takes pleasure in tending the divine cows. He is always being served with great reverence and affection by hundreds of thousands of devotees. To that Supreme Lord, who is always trying to satisfy the senses of the cows, and who is the original person, I offer my worship.”   The great

Vaishnav Culture of Bishnupur, West Bengal

Image
Vaishnav Culture & Major Temples of Bishnupur, Bengal. Madan Gopal Temple Deities  From around 7th century AD till around the advent of British rule, for around a millennium, history of Bankura district is identical with the rise and fall of the Hindu Rajas of Bishnupur. The ancient Rajas of Bishnupur trace back their history to a time when Hindus were still reigning in Delhi, and the name of the Muslims was not yet heard in India. Indeed, they could already count five centuries of rule over the western frontier tracts of Bengal before Bakhtiyar Khalji arrived. Adi Malla was the founder of the Malla dynasty. In 695 AD, a prince of one of the royal families of northern India made a pilgrimage with his wife to the Jagannath temple at Puri. He left his wife who was about to give birth to a child in the care of a Brahmin here. The wife gave birth to a son. When he was 15 years old he had no equal as a wrestler in the territory all around. It was this that earned him the name of Adi
