each of the 700 verses of the Gita is capable of delivering, of winning, of giving the direct and full answer.just as a smartphone has tons of apps, all different, all unique yet wholly complete by themselves.just as a wardrobe has so many clothes and shoes, all different, yet each befitting.just as you have facebook friends and contacts. each unique yet capable.just as Guruji answers someone's query in Satsang. It is a specific question. It is a specific answer. Yet it weaves its magic on all. Satisfies many. each of Sri Sri's answers as if meant for one enlightens all.So it is with the Gita. the verses are weaved together by a magician. they are placed by a divine hand.The verses are interspersed and knitted and dyed and woven. Are made up of cottons and silks, nylons and polyester, wool and acrylic, and every yarn under the sun.the weaving is so deft, smooth, and soft, so cozy, nice and comfortable.that one may miss the hues shades nuances emotions events and truths.But one cannot miss the impact! So one may ask; Who is the Gita for? Who benefits? How benefits?The Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Lord. Who doth the Lord address?The entire creation of course. He addresses every single man woman and child. He addresses every single plant herb and tree. Every piece of matter animate or inanimate. Every ray of energy, no matter whether it is in the visible spectrum or beyond. The Gita is about Life. It is about Dinacharya. About Ritucharya. About what to do when.How to live, how to LOVE.How to be well.How to plan and how to act. What to think and what to speak.About what qualities to nourish. what goals to achieve. About how to meet deadlines and targets. It applies not only to mankind. It also applies to machines and electronics. It applies also to the Natural Laws and to the life-forms we know and do not know. It is a complete textbook. A finely detailed user manual to strengthen one's MIND. Nourish the SOUL. And of course Flex the BODY.

Marma is based on the model of a lighted being or the consciousness that fills all human beings and flows and radiates through our thoughts and emotions, nerves and tissues.Due to 5 factors, viz. 1.lifestyle, 2.upbringing, 3.perceived notions, 4.relationships, and 5. personal set of values, these light beams get scattered away from their normal flow. Some beams lose their amplitude, others lose their direction. Yet others lose their intensity or focus. This is what results in illness, pain, grief, guilt, fear and weakness.Marma Chikitsa or Therapy is a revolutionary technique to normalize and balance the light body. Though mentioned in the ancient texts, in the modern context it is only recently being rediscovered and reapplied. When it came to healing and restoring fitness, the ancients rarely looked at anatomy as a mass of muscle, tissue, bone or organ. Rather, they perceived it as a body of glowing consciousness, and used the time honored techniques of Meditation, Massage, Showering, Walking, soft Touch, Pranayama and Yoga.¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ Thigh and lower anatomy marma points list.¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1-¿¿¿¿¿¿2-¿¿¿¿¿3-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿4-¿¿¿¿¿5-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿6-¿¿¿¿7-¿¿¿8-¿¿¿¿¿9-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿10 ¿¿¿¿¿11 ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ 11 vi¿apa (topmost point in this list)¿ 10 lohit¿k¿a¿ 9 ¿rv¿ (also spelt urv¿)¿ 8 ¿¿i¿ 7 j¿nu¿ 6 indrabasti¿ 5 gulpha¿ 4 k¿rcäira¿ 3 k¿rca¿ 2 talah¿daya¿ 1 k¿ipra (bottommost point in this list)These points are listed in sequence of vertical location top to bottom of anatomy.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ | These are mirrored points in each leg, so a count of 22 points.Note: Marma points Vi¿apa, J¿nu and Gulpha in leg correspond to Kak¿adhara, K¿rpara and Mäibandha in arm resp.-------------------This book presents the Marma section from the Sushruta Samhita, and lists simple ways to get back to peak health and total fitness. -------------------Contains Full Color Plates.Contains Charts for all 107 Marma Points.

The Sri Yantra Bhavana Upanishad is attributed to the Atharvaveda. It is a later Upanishad that illuminates the Bhavana or Deeper Emotions connected to the Sri Yantra, the body of the Mother Divine, and also the body of Divine Yogic Union of Purusha and Prakriti. It expounds the innermost intense feelings of the Soul, its basic desire, and ways and means to connect and unite with the ultimate consciousness. What is a Sri Yantra?

A Sri Yantra designed with accuracy and precision is precious, beautiful and highly benevolent. To begin drawing, use a 2D drafting engineering software e.g. AutoCAD, BricsCAD, nanoCAD, LibreCAD etc.Set the Dimensions precision to four decimal places, e.g., 0.0000With each Line, Angle, or Circle drawn, take the Dimension and see if it matches exactly.Even a slight error shall make the Sri Yantra lose its Beauty and Preciousness.1 Square ABCD, side 200.2 Bisect Square at J,make right angle Triangle JCD with hypotenuse JC = 223.6068, Angle CJD = 63.4349°3 Draw Black Circle with center at J, radius = hypotenuse JC = 223.60684 Extend Square ABCD to a Rectangle ABEF, where longer side AF = BE = 323.60685 Draw Green Circle with center at A, radius = 323.60686 Extend side of Square DC to touch Green Circle at upper point g.

This is just to check if we are going right so far.If both these lengths are Equal, we have found the Apex g for our Triangle T1u.7 Now join A to g, and we get the Side Ag of our Golden Ratio Triangle T1u.Note that Side Ag = radius of Green Circle = 323.60688 Copy and Mirror the Side Ag to get the Side gi of Golden Ratio Triangle Triangle.9 Join points A to i to get Base Ai of Golden Ratio Triangle T1uGolden Ratio Triangle T1u Largest Upwards Apex Triangle is starting Point for Sri Yantra.Dimensions for Golden Ratio Triangle T1u = Agi must be preciselyBaseline length = 400Isosceles Side Length each = 323.6068Isosceles Angle each = 51.82729°-------------Contains Full Color Plates

There is an ancient text in the Vedic tradition that goes by the name of Markandeya Purana. It gives various rituals and customs for family and society to observe and follow, to lead a happy and successful life. These customs are based on observing the life of real people, how they faced difficulties and overcame challenges and vagaries. Written by sage Markandeya (of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra fame) it consists of 137 chapters.Its thirteen chapters from 81 to 93 consisting of 700 verses are called Devi Mahatmya, also as Chandi Path, which is today famous as the Durga Saptashati.Within the Durga Saptashati, there are some verses known as the Devi Stuti or the Tantrokta Devi Sukta. Today it has become a custom to sing the Devi Stuti in a prayerful and soulful manner, that spreads cheer and brings great good fortune to the participants.This book is an attempt to elucidate the deep secrets enshrined in these verses, so that the English medium school children can benefit, thereby this knowledge can spread far and wide and reach every home.----------------¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿ ¿y¿ dev¿ sarvabh¿te¿u cetanetyabhidh¿yate ¿namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namä ¿ 7¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿f1/1 that ¿¿¿¿ f1/1 goddess ¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿ n7/3 residing in all-beings ¿¿¿¿¿ f1/1 consciousness ¿¿¿ 0 thus ¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿iii/1 closely-she supports ¿ ¿¿¿ n2/1 offer bowing down ¿¿¿¿¿ f4/1 to thee ¿¿¿ n2/1 salute ¿¿¿¿¿ f4/1 her ¿¿¿ n2/1 greet ¿¿¿¿¿ f4/1 her ¿¿¿ n2/1 as an act of humble obeisance ¿¿¿ n2/1 felicitation to she ¿----------------Contains Original verses in Sanskrit with a Latin transliteration and a lucid English commentary.
