A1 Surendra Kumar Kumawat, 3h Prayagraj has the world's only temple of Lord Hanumanlying down. Prayagraj, the cityof religion, has a unique temple of Lord Hanuman, the god of power, on thebanks of the Sangam. This is the only temple in the whole world, where thereclining idol of Bajrangbali is worshipped. It is a belief that the entire virtue of Sangam iscompleted only after this darshan of Hanuman ji. Behind this belief,the story of the rebirth of Ram devotee Hanuman is attached. After the victoryof Lanka, when Bajrang Bali had reached the point of death due to immense pain.So Maa Janaki gave him hervermilion at this place and blessed him with a new life and to remain healthyand alive forever and said that whoever comes to Sangam bath on this Trivenibeach will get the real fruit of Sangam bath only when he sees Hanuman ji. Willdo The unique statueof Hanuman installed here also has the status of being the Kotwal of Prayag.Generally where in other temples the idols stand straight. The same BajrangBali is worshiped lying down in this temple. According to mythology, after thevictory of Lanka, when Lord Rama came to Prayag after bathing in Sangam to seekblessings from sage Bhardwaj, his most beloved devotee Hanuman fainted at this place due to physicalpain. Seeing Pawan's sonabout to die, Mother Janakigave him a new life with vermilion, the symbol of her honey, and blessed him toremain healthy and incurable forever. There is a tradition ofoffering vermilion to Bajrang Bali because Maa Janaki gave him life withvermilion. It is said about this statue of Hanuman ji that in 1700AD when Aurangzeb was ruling in India, he tried to remove this statue fromhere. About 100 soldiers were employed to remove this statue from the templenear the fort located here. Evenafter trying for several days, the statue could not be moved. The soldiers fellill with a serious illness. In compulsion, Aurangzeb left the statue there. Every devotee whocomes to Sangam reaches here to offer vermilion and have darshan of Hanuman ji.It is said that wishes asked here often come true. On fulfilment ofhealth and other wishes, people come here in a procession with music and musicto hoist the flag to mark the fulfilment of the vow here every Tuesday andSaturday. The devotees get a strange pleasant feeling as soon as they step intothe temple. Devotees believe that such a statue does not exist anywhere in thewhole world. Jai Hanuman....JaiJai Shri Ram...... My note- Thefirst phase of Gaya srardha begins at Allahabad. After sankalpa,Thriveni offerings and on return this Hanumanji is worshipped. Then the journeystarts to Varanasi.

Jay Ram Ji Ki🙏 Q4 What is the story behind why Lord Shivalives in the cremation ground? What power does he have there? A4 Sadhana, MBA from Mumbai, Maharashtra,India19h Lord Shiva meditates not at a physically appealinglocation, but at the ‘Shamshan’ or the cremation ground.He is believed to roam around with ash remains of a body smeared all over hisbody and a garland of skulls adorning his neck. He does so, to put emphasis that everything istemporary and there is something beyond this material physical plane. The idea behind himroaming, smeared in ash remains and a skull garland at the cremation ground –is his way of reminding us of our ground realities. He teaches equanimity andequity. Humans have been devoid of feeling intensity to its purest form. Not becausethey cannot, but they choose not to. Shiva rather than putting in wasted efforton the living chooses to put faith in the dead. Lord Shiva prefers to be with all the beings when theyneed him the most. Samshaan is a place where allbeings are the loneliest; all their loved ones leave them alone over there. Lord Shiva provides all the beingsall the support they need. Lord Shiva is not only there for you when youare alive but he is there with you in Samshaan where you are the loneliest and ***stays with you till you attainMoksha or liberation. Lord Shiva adviceshis disciples that to die is a part of the creation but to curtail life is notright and this can be done by making your life process intense, worthwhile andmeaningful. There is a mentioning in “Shreemad Bhagvat Purana"about Lord Shiva living or residing in Cremation ground or "Smashana"in the (4th skanda Adhaya 4 Shloka 16).This chapter isabout Devi Sati’s entering into fire & Devi Sati's conversation with herfather Daksha about Lord Shiva. Here Sati Devi is actually glorifying LordShiva, by explaining the actual nature of Lord Shiva, unlike what (Daksha)thinks of. This shloka tells us about Lord Shiva sitting or residingor wondering in cremation grounds. किंवाशिवाख्यमशिवंनविदुरस्त्वदन्येब्रह्मादयस्तमवकिर्यजटा:श्मशाने। तंमाल्यभस्मनृकपाल्यवसपिशाचर्येमुर्धभिर्दधतितच्चरणासृष्टम्।।16।। Kim VaShivakhyamShivam Vidurstvdanye BrahmadyasamstamVkirya Jatahha Shamashane ltmmalyabhasmaNrukapalyaVasaPishachhya yer Mudharbhidrdhati Tachhrana Shrustam. Meaning - Its onlyyou who thinks that he is "Ashiva" (Not pure) and nobody else , if itis true then why otherwise Lord Shiva ,who resides in Cremation ground(Smashana) with Bhoot-Pishachhya , Is praised by Lord Brahma & other devatas(Gods)and why would Brahma and other God would have kept the flowers fallen from hisfeet ( Nirmalya) on their heads. As Shiva choosesthe Shamshan, it becomes clearer that he has a very powerful message for all ofus. To experience the intensity of it all we should become the jiva. Throughoutour lives, we only experience the kaya – which is the apparent reality. Weforget that we have rented this body and eventually we will leave it behind. Lord Shiva is the caretaker of the Shamshana It is believed thatonce a body after its funeral is left to burn alone in night, Lord Shiva takesin the dead within him. Hence, it is said this progression shall not betroubled with any human intrusion or else face the wrath of Goddess Kali. My note- ***stays with you till you attainMoksha or liberation. So, the dead isliberated from the status of pithru to Deva/Moksha, at one stage, Brahminsbelieve after srardha at Gaya. Q5 Why are sugary drinks dangerous andwhat are the alternatives?

Q7 Why is Jagannath idol changed every 12years? A7 Santosh Kumar Sahoo, 8h We came to knowthat the crowd in the temple is less if one visits in the early morning, say at6.30am to 7.00am. Accordingly we visited the temple with a long cherisheddesire to have a darshan & pay our homage to the Lord Jagannath,personifying Lord Krishna, his elder brother Lord Balabhadra & sisterSubhadra along with the young guide cum panda through the southern gate. Wevisited the main temple Of the deities followed by other temples of god &goddesses, the Anandabazar, the vast kitchen, & lastly we visited a place called,“Koili Baikuntha" onthe north of the temple. You are to buy tickets @ Rs.5/ each for entry to theopen place surrounded by tall fence, is known as the Koili means " burialground" for the Trinity & the word, Baikuntha means the heaven.During theNabakalebar the old images are buried here and the new images are also carvedhere . Nabakalebara is afestival observed in the Shree Jagannath Temple at Puri at a predefined timeaccording to Hindu Calendar. Naba means new and Kalebara is body. Lord Shree Jagannath adorns anew body during Nabakalebara. It is the re-embodiment of Lord Jagannath,Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and Sudarshan when they relinquish their oldbodies and assume a new one. However,the Brahma padartha (soul-substance) remains the same. The soul orthe Brahma is transferred from the old idols to their new bodies in a highlytechnical and conspicuous manner at the dead of night very secretly. The year of Nabakalebara is when the full moon occurstwice during the month of Ashadha. Every three yearsin the Hindu calendar, a lunar month is excluded from the calculation tomaintain a balance between lunar and solar years. This period is calledMalamasa. A year withan extra month (adhimasa) is considered auspicious for the ceremony, whichtypically occurs every twelve to nineteen years. The three deitiesundergo the process of Nabakalebara in the year in which the adhimasa falls The deities are carved from a special type of neem wood, known as daru brahma.Preparations for the ceremony begin in the month of Chaitra. The most recent ceremony was on29.05.2015, 19 years after the 1996 ceremony. "TheNabakalebara niti is observed in a gap of 12 to 19 years. Most of the Nabakalebars are performed after a gap of almost 19 years asin 1912, 1931, 1950, 1969, 1977 and 1996. The Brahmapadartha (soul-substance) remainsthe same. The soul or the Brahma is transferred from the old idols to their newbodies & this is going on from long long back. The making of newidols are done in a sacred manner obeying all the formalities in theBaikunthadam, on the other hand the bodies of old idols are buried in theburial ground i.e., at Koili, observing all the formalities. Never miss to visit Koili baikuntha , when you are inLord Jagannath Temple, Puri . My note- Aninformative answer about the details of changing the physical bodies ofjagannatha, but why it is done is not clear fromthe answer. Q8 How long does it take for liquids toturn into urine? A8 Dr.Faizan Rasheed, MBBS, MD, Medicalspecialist Apr 24 The Process of Urine Formation: Urine is the liquidwaste product that is produced by the kidneys as a result of the body'smetabolic processes. It is made up of water and dissolved substances, such asurea, creatinine, and salts that are filtered from the blood by the kidneys. The process of urine formationinvolves several steps, each of which plays an important role in regulating thebody's fluid and electrolyte balance. Step 1: Filtration The first step inurine formation is filtration. This occurs in the glomerulus, which is anetwork of tiny blood vessels located in the kidneys. Blood flows into the glomerulus,where it is filtered to remove waste products and excess fluids. The filteredfluid, known as filtrate, then enters the renal tubule. Step 2: Reabsorption Once the filtrate enters the renal tubule, it begins toundergo reabsorption. This process involves the reabsorption of water and otheressential substances, such as glucose, amino acids, and electrolytes, from thetubule back into the bloodstream. This helps tomaintain the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. Step 3: Secretion The final step in urine formation is secretion. Thisinvolves the secretion of waste products and excess ions, such as hydrogen ionsand potassium ions, into the renal tubule. These substances are then eliminatedfrom the body in the urine. The Timeframe for Urine Formation: The amount of time it takes for liquids to turn intourine can vary depending on several factors, such as the amount and type offluid consumed, as well as the individual's hydrationstatus. On average, ittakes approximately 1-2 hours for the kidneys to produce urine after consumingfluids. However, the rateof urine production can vary depending on the body's needs. For example, during times of dehydration, the kidneys may produce lessurine in order to conserve water. On the otherhand, when an individual consumes large amounts of fluids, the kidneys mayproduce more urine in order to eliminate excess fluids from the body. Conclusion: In summary, urineformation is a complex process that involves several steps, includingfiltration, reabsorption, and secretion. The amount of time it takes for liquids to turn intourine can vary depending on several factors, but on average it takesapproximately 1-2 hours for the kidneys to produce urine afterconsuming fluids. Understanding the process of urine formation can helpindividuals better understand their own hydration needs and maintain a healthyfluid balance in their body.
