Cause for Cyclone and Rain

S.B.5.22.12

Text 12: Some 1,600,000 miles above this group of stars is the planet Venus, which moves at almost exactly the same pace as the sun according to swift, slow and moderate movements. Sometimes Venus moves behind the sun, sometimes in front of the sun and sometimes along with it. Venus nullifies the influence of planets that are obstacles to rainfall. Consequently its presence causes rainfall, and it is therefore considered very favorable for all living beings within this universe. This has been accepted by learned scholars.

ŚB 5.22.13

Translation

Mercury is described to be similar to Venus, in that it moves sometimes behind the sun, sometimes in front of the sun and sometimes along with it. It is 1,600,000 miles above Venus, or 7,200,000 miles above earth. Mercury, which is the son of the moon, is almost always very auspicious for the inhabitants of the universe, but when it does not move along with the sun, it forbodes cyclones, dust, irregular rainfall, and waterless clouds. In this way it creates fearful conditions due to inadequate or excessive rainfall.

Text 14: Situated 1,600,000 miles above Mercury, or 8,800,000 miles above earth, is the planet Mars. If this planet does not travel in a crooked way, it crosses through each sign of the zodiac in three fortnights and in this way travels through all twelve, one after another. It almost always creates unfavorable conditions in respect to rainfall and other influences.

Victory of Hiraṇyākṣa Over All the Directions of the Universe

ŚB 3.17.5

vavau vāyuḥ suduḥsparśaḥ
phūt-kārān īrayan muhuḥ
unmūlayan naga-patīn
vātyānīko rajo-dhvajaḥ

Translation

There blew winds which were most uninviting to the touch, hissing again and again and uprooting gigantic trees. They had storms for their armies and clouds of dust for their ensigns.

Purport

When there are natural disturbances like blowing cyclones, too much heat or snowfall, and uprooting of trees by hurricanes, it is to be understood that the demoniac population is increasing and so the natural disturbance is also taking place. There are many countries on the globe, even at the present moment, where all these disturbances are current. This is true all over the world. There is insufficient sunshine, and there are always clouds in the sky, snowfall and severe cold. These assure that such places are inhabited by demoniac people who are accustomed to all kinds of forbidden, sinful activity.

Saturn is the Only Planet Strong in this Horoscope, So let's understand about Saturn from Srila Prabhupada Books.

Planetary position during the Victory of Hiranya Kashipu over the universe

ŚB 3.17.4

सहाचला भुवश्चेलुर्दिश: सर्वा:
प्रजज्वलु: ।
सोल्काश्चाशनय: पेतु: केतवश्चार्तिहेतव: ॥ ४ ॥

sahācalā bhuvaś celur
diśaḥ sarvāḥ prajajvaluḥ
solkāś cāśanayaḥ petuḥ
ketavaś cārti-hetavaḥ

There were earthquakes along the mountains on the earth, and it appeared that there was fire everywhere. Many inauspicious planets like Saturn appeared, along with comets, meteors and thunderbolts.

Purport

When natural disturbances occur on a planet, one should understand that a demon must have taken birth there. In the present age the number of demoniac people is increasing; therefore natural disturbances are also increasing. There is no doubt about this, as we can understand from the statements of the Bhāgavatam.

 

ŚB 3.17.14

ग्रहान् पुण्यतमानन्ये भगणांश्चापि दीपिता: ।
अतिचेरुर्वक्रगत्या युयुधुश्च परस्परम् ॥ १४ ॥

grahān puṇyatamān anye
bhagaṇāṁś cāpi dīpitāḥ
aticerur vakra-gatyā
yuyudhuś ca parasparam

Translation

Ominous planets such as Mars and Saturn shone brighter and surpassed the auspicious ones such as Mercury, Jupiter and Venus as well as a number of lunar mansions. Taking seemingly retrograde courses, the planets came in conflict with one another.

Purport

The entire universe is moving under the three modes of material nature. Those living entities who are in goodness are called the pious species — pious lands, pious trees, etc. It is similar with the planets also; many planets are considered pious, and others are considered impious. Saturn and Mars are considered impious. When the pious planets shine very brightly, it is an auspicious sign, but when the inauspicious planets shine very brightly, this is not a very good sign

Birth of Saturn

ŚB 8.13.10

सावर्णिस्तपती कन्या भार्या संवरणस्य या ।
शनैश्चरस्तृतीयोऽभूदश्विनौ वडवात्मजौ ॥ १० ॥

sāvarṇis tapatī kanyā

śanaiścaras tṛtīyo ’bhūd
aśvinau vaḍavātmajau

Translation

B 6.6.41

छाया शनैश्चरं लेभे सावर्णिं च मनुं तत: ।
कन्यां च तपतीं या वै वव्रे संवरणं पतिम् ॥ ४१ ॥

chāyā śanaiścaraṁ lebhe

kanyāṁ ca tapatīṁ yā vai
vavre saṁvaraṇaṁ patim

Translation

 Distance between Saturn and Earth

ŚB 5.22.16

तत उपरिष्टाद्योजनलक्षद्वयात्प्रतीयमान: शनैश्चर एकैकस्मिन् राशौ त्रिंशन्मासान् विलम्बमान: सर्वानेवानुपर्येति तावद्भ‍िरनुवत्सरै: प्रायेण हि सर्वेषामशान्तिकर: ॥ १६ ॥

tata upariṣṭād yojana-lakṣa-dvayāt pratīyamānaḥ śanaiścara ekaikasmin rāśau triṁśan māsān vilambamānaḥ sarvān evānuparyeti tāvadbhir anuvatsaraiḥ prāyeṇa hi sarveṣām aśāntikaraḥ.

Translation

Situated 1,600,000 miles above Jupiter, or 12,000,000 miles above earth, is the planet Saturn, which passes through one sign of the zodiac in thirty months and covers the entire zodiac circle in thirty Anuvatsaras. This planet is always very inauspicious for the universal situation.

ŚB 5.22.17

तत उत्तरस्माद‍ृषय एकादशलक्षयोजनान्तर उपलभ्यन्ते य एव लोकानां शमनुभावयन्तो भगवतो विष्णोर्यत्परमं पदं प्रदक्षिणं प्रक्रमन्ति ॥ १७ ॥

tata uttarasmād ṛṣaya ekādaśa-lakṣa-yojanāntara upalabhyante ya eva lokānāṁ śam anubhāvayanto bhagavato viṣṇor yat paramaṁ padaṁ pradakṣiṇaṁ prakramanti.

Translation

Situated 8,800,000 miles above Saturn, or 20,800,000 miles above earth, are the seven saintly sages, who are always thinking of the well-being of the inhabitants of the universe. They circumambulate the supreme abode of Lord Viṣṇu, known as Dhruvaloka, the polestar.

Purport

Śrīla Madhvācārya quotes the following verse from the Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa:

jñānānandātmano viṣṇuḥ
śiśumāra-vapuṣy atha
ūrdhva-lokeṣu sa vyāpta
ādityādyās tad-āśritā

“Lord Viṣṇu, who is the source of knowledge and transcendental bliss, has assumed the form of Śiśumāra in the seventh heaven, which is situated in the topmost level of the universe. All the other planets, beginning with the sun, exist under the shelter of this Śiśumāra planetary system.”

 Influenced by Evil Planets Progress is Very Slow

ŚB 7.4.37

न्यस्तक्रीडनको बालो जडवत्तन्मनस्तया ।
कृष्णग्रहगृहीतात्मा न वेद जगदीद‍ृशम् ॥ ३७ ॥

nyasta-krīḍanako bālo
jaḍavat tan-manastayā
kṛṣṇa-graha-gṛhītātmā
na veda jagad īdṛśam

Translation

From the very beginning of his childhood, Prahlāda Mahārāja was uninterested in childish playthings. Indeed, he gave them up altogether and remained silent and dull, being fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Since his mind was always affected by Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he could not understand how the world goes on being fully absorbed in the activities of sense gratification.

Purport

Prahlāda Mahārāja is the vivid example of a great person fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 8.274) it is said:

sthāvara-jaṅgama dekhe, nā dekhe tāra mūrti
sarvatra haya nija iṣṭa-deva-sphūrti

A fully Kṛṣṇa conscious person, although situated in this material world, does not see anything but Kṛṣṇa, anywhere and everywhere. This is the sign of a mahā-bhāgavata. The mahā-bhāgavata sees Kṛṣṇa everywhere because of his attitude of pure love for Kṛṣṇa. As confirmed in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.38):

premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena
santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti
yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

“I worship the primeval Lord, Govinda, who is always seen by the devotee whose eyes are anointed with the pulp of love. He is seen in His eternal form of Śyāmasundara, situated within the heart of the devotee.” An exalted devotee, or mahātmā, who is rarely to be seen, remains fully conscious of Kṛṣṇa and constantly sees the Lord within the core of his heart. It is sometimes said that when one is influenced by evil stars like Saturn, Rāhu or Ketu, he cannot make advancement in any prospective activity. In just the opposite way, Prahlāda Mahārāja was influenced by Kṛṣṇa, the supreme planet, and thus he could not think of the material world and live without Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is the sign of a mahā-bhāgavata. Even if one is an enemy of Kṛṣṇa, a mahā-bhāgavata sees him to be also engaged in Kṛṣṇa’s service. Another crude example is that everything appears yellow to the jaundiced eye. Similarly, to a mahā-bhāgavata, everyone but himself appears to be engaged in Kṛṣṇa’s service.

Prahlāda Mahārāja is the approved mahā-bhāgavata, the supreme devotee. In the previous verse it was stated that he had natural attachment (naisargikī ratiḥ). The symptoms of such natural attachment for Kṛṣṇa are described in this verse. Although Prahlāda Mahārāja was only a boy, he had no interest in playing. As stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.2.42), viraktir anyatra ca: the symptom of perfect Kṛṣṇa consciousness is that one loses interest in all material activities. For a small boy to give up playing is impossible, but Prahlāda Mahārāja, being situated in first-class devotional service, was always absorbed in a trance of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Just as a materialistic person is always absorbed in thoughts of material gain, a mahā-bhāgavata like Prahlāda Mahārāja is always absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa.

CC Madhya 4.133

kṣīra laha ei, yāra nāma ‘mādhava-purī’
tomā lāgi’ gopīnātha kṣīra kaila curi

Translation

Holding the pot of sweet rice, the priest called, “Will he whose name is Mādhavendra Purī please come and take this pot! Gopīnātha has stolen this pot of sweet rice for you!”

Purport

The difference between the Absolute Truth and relative truth is explained here. Lord Gopīnātha has openly declared herein that He is a thief. He had stolen the pot of sweet rice, and this was not kept a secret because His act of stealing is a source of great transcendental bliss. In the material world, theft is criminal, but in the spiritual world the Lord’s stealing is a source of transcendental bliss. Mundane rascals, who cannot understand the absolute nature of the Personality of Godhead, sometimes call Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa immoral, but they do not know that His seemingly immoral activities, which are not kept secret, afford pleasure to the devotees. Not understanding the transcendental behavior of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, these rascals slur His character and immediately fall into the category of miscreants (rascals, lowest among men, demons and those whose knowledge is taken away by the illusory energy). Kṛṣṇa explains in the Bhagavad-gītā (7.15):

na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ
māyayāpahṛta-jñānā āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ

“Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons do not surrender unto Me.” (Bg. 7.15)

Mundane rascals cannot understand that whatever Kṛṣṇa does, being absolute in nature, is all-good. This quality of the Lord is explained in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.33.29). One may consider certain acts of a supremely powerful person to be immoral by mundane calculations, but this is not actually the case. For example, the sun absorbs water from the surface of the earth, but it does not absorb water only from the sea. It also absorbs water from filthy sewers and ditches containing urine and other impure substances. The sun is not polluted by absorbing such water. Rather, the sun makes the filthy place pure. If a devotee approaches the Supreme Personality of Godhead for an immoral or improper purpose, he nonetheless becomes purified; the Lord does not become infected. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.29.15) it is stated that if one approaches the Supreme Lord even out of lust, anger or fear (kāmaṁ krodhaṁ bhayam), he is purified. The gopīs, being young girls, approached Kṛṣṇa because He was a beautiful young boy. From the external point of view, they approached the Lord out of lust, and the Lord danced with them at midnight. From the mundane point of view, these activities may appear immoral because a married or unmarried young girl cannot leave home to mix with a young boy and dance with him. Although this is immoral from the mundane viewpoint, the activities of the gopīs are accepted as the highest form of worship because it was Lord Kṛṣṇa whom they approached with lusty desires in the dead of night.

But these things cannot be understood by nondevotees. One must understand Kṛṣṇa in tattva (truth). One should use his common sense and consider that if simply by chanting Kṛṣṇa’s holy name one is purified, how then can the person Kṛṣṇa be immoral? Unfortunately, mundane fools are accepted as educational leaders and are offered exalted posts for teaching irreligious principles to the general populace. This is explained in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (7.5.31): andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ. Blind men are trying to lead other blind men. Due to the immature understanding of such rascals, common men should not discuss Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes with the gopīs. A nondevotee should not even discuss His stealing sweet rice for His devotees. It is warned that one should not even think about these things. Although Kṛṣṇa is the purest of the pure, mundane people, thinking of Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes that appear immoral, themselves become polluted. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore never publicly discussed Kṛṣṇa’s dealings with the gopīs. He used to discuss these dealings only with three confidential friends. He never discussed rāsa-līlā publicly, as the professional reciters do, although they do not understand Kṛṣṇa or the nature of the audience. However, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu encouraged the public chanting of the holy name on a huge scale for as many hours as possible.

 

 

6 Wonderful Benefits of Drinking Water from Clay Bottle

Earthen pots or clay pots which were used to store and cool drinking water in earlier times is not just this, there was a whole science behind the logic and that science is no more a surprise in these modern times. Apart from the goodness, these clay bottles also take us back in old times and memories; pure nostalgia which we are sure is connected with our lives someway or somehow. Technologically, we may be moving forward in our life and we are leaving old ways of living to adopt modern comforting lifestyle. This comfort comes with a price of health, truly undebatable, but that’s how it is and here we are switching again to be healthy through simple earthy ways. 

No wonder why we are moving back to adopt our traditional and healthy ways of drinking and cooking in earthen pots. These earthen pots for water or the matkas, surahis are surely a rich inheritance from our rural or countryside culture. Now let’s take you to the logic part where you will know these Wonderful Benefits of Drinking Water from Clay Bottle.

So here, read out these 6 wonderful benefits of drinking water from Clay Bottle. 

Helps in improving metabolism

Water stored in clay bottles keeps our metabolism intact. When our metabolism is working properly, half the battle is already won, so those who are facing digestion issues, poor metabolism or acidity issues can give their body this magical healing through this water. Water stored in clay bottles is also beneficial for those who are having weight issues or those who are fighting against obesity.  

Water in clay bottles is completely chemical free, unlike plastic bottles which have BPA. This chemical BPA which is the root cause of several health diseases like cancer also increases the chances of obesity. One more fact associated with drinking water from clay bottles is that earthy properties of clay retains testosterone levels in our body. Also, it is scientifically a fact that drinking water from plastic bottles reduces the levels of testosterone in our body. 

Beautifully Handcrafted and Rural empowerment

Another fact which is truly important as well is that these clay bottles come in beautiful shapes and forms. You can find beautiful earthy designs with rustic feel of unbeatable nostalgia. So, here is the goodness of clay captured in the beautiful handcrafted pitcher. By using these handcrafted pitchers or bottles, we are also contributing our due to rural empowerment.

Naturally cool water

Clay bottles also keep water naturally cool and let’s tell you why this happens? Clay is porous, which means it has tiny holes which may not be visible through eyes but can be seen through microscope. So these tiny holes help water to percolate and infuse energy from heat to form gas and get evaporated. Thus, water cools down eventually in these clay pots.

Apart from this, the water stored in refrigerators is too chilled and may feel good to drink in summers, but then it gives our throat a tough time. Whereas water stored in clay bottles is at perfect temperature levels, it hydrates properly, gives a cooling effect and is gentle on throat too. You can have this cool water stored in clay bottles without any guilt.

Self alkaline water system

Drinking water from clay bottles helps to prevent acidity and other gastric problems, but how? Clay has alkaline properties which mean it retains higher PH levels (more than 7) and our body especially our stomach is acidic in nature while clay has alkaline properties. So, basically water from these clay bottles retain PH level in our body, keeping digestive problems, acidity or gastric problems away and we feel more hydrated and fresh.

Easy to handy/Easy to Carry

Clay Bottles are environment friendly and comparatively cheaper. You can carry them easily and dispose them (if required) without any guilt as they are pretty pocket friendly.  

Have Healing Power

Clay is well stocked with minerals and electromagnetic energy of earth which heals our body and mind. When we store water in these clay bottles it automatically adopts those properties. Thus, we can say that we are drinking this power packed liquid which is rich mineral water with healing properties.

Even people who do not go to the temple can still see the lord near their houses, just in front of their house even if they are not interested in Jagannatha even if they are not a devotee of lord Jagannatha, lord Jagannatha visits the houses even atheists, poor beggars, even untouchables, he does not make any distinction he sees the good qualities in us, he visits almost all the houses, and there is no partiality whether one is rich or poor lord Jagannatha, is the father of all the living entities, he is impartial.
