Krishna and Shrila Prabhupada

Acharya Prabhakar said that on Shri Krishna Janmashtami in 1954, he had to go to Delhi. When he returned to Jhansi, he took a little rest, woke up at 1:00 am and heard Shrila Prabhupada ecstatically playing mridanga in the temple room. Prabhupada was chanting in total bliss. Acharya Prabhakar went upstairs and saw Shrila Prabhupada bouncing around the temple room performing kirtan. Prabhupada was wearing a kadamba flower garland that went all the way down to his feet. Kadamba flowers are very rare in Jhansi and when they are available they are usually the size of a golf ball.But the ones Prabhupada was wearing were big, the size of tennis balls. And he said that the atmosphere right down to the atoms in the room was not material, aprakrita. The place was surcharged with the fragrance of the heavenly planets. Acharya Prabhakar wanted to ask Shrila Prabhupada, “Where did this garland come from? It is not available from the market.” But Shrila Prabhupada would not answer. His Divine Grace just kept on performing kirtan, bouncing round the room and chanting. The next morning Acharya Prabhakar asked Shrila Prabhupada, “Where did you get the garland, why did it have such a rich fragrance, and why were you feeling so blissful?”Shrila Prabhupada told him, “I was chanting to Krishna and feeling some love for Him. And He appeared and gave me this garland. I went to touch His feet and He disappeared. Because of that I was dancing around the temple room.” Shrila Prabhupada started crying.

Chaturvedis' of Mathura

'''Talking about History''' Chaturvedi is an Indian family name (chatur = four, vedi = one who has learned the Vedas). A brahmin family name indicating that the title bearer's forefathers were proficient in all of the four Vedas (including the vedic branch one is born into). This was considered a significant achievement and an elevated social status. Legend has it that it takes 16 human lives for one to master the four vedas, the holy books of unlimited knowledge. If one were to master all the vedas in one human life, that was indeed a super human achievement and therefore the title Chaturvedi. Chaturvedis are also known as Mathur Chaturvedis. People who belonged to Mathura and know as 'Mathura Ke Choubey'. Among the Mathura ke Choubeys, there is one classification as 'Mithe'(sweet) and another as 'Kadwe'(bitter).

हिन्दू धर्म व भारतीय संस्कृति में मांगलिक चिन्हों का विशेष महत्व है। स्वस्तिक, ऊं, गणेशजी आदि कुछ ऐसे चिन्ह है। जिन्हें बहुत शुभ व मंगलमय माना गया है। इसीलिए शादी हो या अन्य कोई कार्यक्रम इन सभी चिन्हों को पूजन में जरूर किया जाता है। सभी मांगलिक चिन्हों में से स्वस्तिक सबसे कल्याणकारी चिन्ह है। इस चिन्ह को सौभाग्य का प्रतीक माना जाता है। जिन्हें शुभ कार्यो में आम की पत्तियों को आपने लोगों को अक्सर घर के दरवाजे पर बांधते हुए देखा होगा क्योंकि आम की पत्ती ,इसकी लकड़ी ,फल को ज्योतिष की दृष्टी से भी बहुत शुभ माना जाता है। आम की लकड़ी और स्वास्तिक दोनों का संगम आम की लकड़ी का स्वस्तिक उपयोग किया जाए तो इसका बहुत ही शुभ प्रभाव पड़ता है। यदि किसी घर में किसी भी तरह वास्तुदोष हो तो जिस कोण में वास्तु दोष है उसमें आम की लकड़ी से बना स्वास्तिक लगाने से वास्तुदोष में कमी आती है क्योंकि आम की लकड़ी में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा को अवशोषित करती है। यदि इसे घर के प्रवेश द्वार पर लगाया जाए तो घर के सुख समृद्धि में वृद्धि होती है। इसके अलावा पूजा के स्थान पर भी इसे लगाये जाने का अपने आप में विशेष प्रभाव बनता ह
