Kashi is known as the city of Lord Shiva — but is it complete without Shakti? In this episode, we explore the feminine divine presence that animates Varanasi through three sacred forms: Vishalakshi, the Shakti Peeth of Kashi; Annapurna, the goddess who sustains both body and spirit; and Manikarnika, where Kali prepares the soul for liberation. From nourishment to release, this episode reveals why Kashi cannot be understood through Shiva alone. To understand Kashi is to understand the union of Shiva and Shakti.

Kashi, the city of light, stands as a testament to creation, destruction, and ultimately, redemption. This ancient city, bathed in the sacred waters of the Ganges, has a story as old as time itself, intertwined with the divine narratives of Shiva Purana. From Lord Brahma and Vishnu's delusion to Kaal Bhairav's wrathful origin, Kashi has witnessed a play of cosmic forces that ultimately underscored Shiva's supremacy as the lord of creation, destruction, and liberation. The city houses the famed Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga, a beacon of spiritual energy believed to be the embodiment of Shiva himself. It is said that death in this sacred city grants moksha, liberation from the cycle of life and death.

Hinduism includes a range of viewpoints about the origin of life, and evolution. There is no single story of creation, due to dynamic diversity of Hinduism, and these are derived from various sources like Vedas, Brahmanas, Puranas; some are philosophical, based on concepts, and others are narratives. And hence the concept of God or The Creator also varies from one tradition to another. But how the idea of God came into being and how did it evolve over time?

The sidereal zodiac is based on stars and the tropical zodiac is based on the sun's position. We will also cover the precession of the equinoxes, which causes the spring equinox to move along the orbit and creates a difference between these two zodiacs over time.

In this episode, we explore the roots of astrology and how it is based on the position of celestial bodies with respect to stars. However, scientific evidence suggests that the gravitational forces exerted by distant stars and planets are not significant enough to have an impact on human personality traits or life events. Studies have failed to demonstrate any patterns or correlations between astrological charts and real-life outcomes. We also discuss the psychological techniques used by astrologers to persuade people of their abilities and how our tendency to seek out patterns can reinforce our beliefs in astrology.

Calculations:

Gravitational force between a person on Earth & planet Jupiter-

G = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2: This is the gravitational constant.

m1 = 70 kg: This is the mass of the person on Earth.

m2 = 1.898 x 10^27 kg: This is the mass of Jupiter.

r = 7.78 x 10^12 meters: This is the average distance between the person on earth and Jupiter.

Plugging these values into the equation, we get:

F = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 x (70 kg x 1.898 x 10^27 kg) / (7.78 x 10^12 m)^2

F = 1.46 × 10^-7 Newtons

Gravitational force between planet Earth & planet Jupiter -

G = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2: This is the gravitational constant.

m1 = 5.97 x 10^24 kg: This is the mass of Earth.

m2 = 1.898 x 10^27 kg: This is the mass of Jupiter.

r = 7.78 x 10^12 meters: This is the average distance between the person on earth and Jupiter.

Plugging these values into the equation, we get:

F = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 x (5.97 x 10^24 kg  x 1.898 x 10^27 kg) / (7.78 x 10^12 m)^2

F = 1.25 × 10^16 Newtons

Gravitational force between a person & a car -

G = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2: This is the gravitational constant.

m1 = 1500 kg: This is the mass of the car.

m2 = 70 kg: This is the mass of a person.

r = 2 meters: This is distance between car and the person

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

F = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 x (1500 kg x 70 kg) / (2 m)^2

F = 1.75 x 10^-6 Newtons

In this episode, we explore the cyclical nature of time in Hindu mythology and its unique differences from other religions. We delve into various time units described in ancient Indian texts, from microcosm to macrocosm, and explain the concept of relativity of time in different realms. We also discuss modern science's definition of time, theories predicting multiverse and the discrepancy between scientific estimates and those described in Hindu scriptures. Tune in to discover the remarkable imagination and intellectual depth of our Indian ancestors as they contemplated time scales spanning trillions of years.

Calculations:

According to Hindu scriptures, we are in Brahma's 51st year's, 1st Kalpa's, 7th Manvantar's, 28th Chaturyuga's, Kalyuga. The Gregorian calendar dates the beginning of this Kalyuga to 3102 BCE. And Brahma's total lifespan is 100 Brahma years. What is Brahma's total lifespan in human years? What is the universe's current age in human years?

Satya Yuga = 1.728 million years

Treta Yuga = 1.296 million years

Dwapara Yuga = 0.864 million years

Kali Yuga = 0.432 million years

Total duration of one Maha Yuga cycle = 4.32 million human years

One day of Brahma (consisting of 1000 Maha Yuga cycles) = 4.32 billion human years

One complete day and night of Brahma = 8.64 billion human years

1 Brahma year = 360 Brahma days and nights

Total age of Brahma (100 Brahma years) = 360 days/year x 100 years x 8.64 billion years/day = 311.04 trillion human years

Total age of the universe (one Maha Kalpa) = 311.04 trillion human years

1 Manvantar = 71 Chaturyugas

1 Kalpa = 14 Manvantar

Current age of the universe = (50 x 2 x 360 x 1000 x 4,320,000) + (6 x 71 x 4,320,000) + (27 x 4,320,000) (4,320,000 x (0.4 + 0.3 + 0.2)) + 5124 = 155.52 trillion human years

We like our ideas of God. We can parse them, explain them, and make our own decisions based on them. In fact, our idea of God is all we really have at all. Since all we really have is our idea of God, it dismantles and debilitates any attempts we might make to lay claim to God, including our claims to faith.

The Vedas are the religious texts which inform the religion of Hinduism. The term veda means “knowledge” in that they are thought to contain the fundamental knowledge relating to the underlying cause of, function of, and personal response to existence. The Vedas are thought to have always existed and were discovered by sages in intense states of meditation, rather than being thought to have been revealed to a specific person or people at a particular historical moment. As a result, Hinduism views the Vedas as Shruti, or "what is heard," as opposed to other texts like Ramayana or Mahabharata that are called Smritis, or "what is remembered."

The Nāsadīya Sūkta after the incipit ná ásat, or "not the non-existent", is known as the Hymn of Creation. It is a collection of 7 Shlokas from the 129th Hymn of the Rig Veda's 10th Mandala. It begins and ends with questions about creation. It does not say that God created the universe, the stars, the sun, the moon, the earth, the plants, the animals, and humans, but rather asks how anyone could know how and when creation occurred, because everything and all beings, including the Devas or Gods, would have appeared only after the universe existed!

The nomadic Huns belonged to the Xiongnu tribe, who inhabited the borders of China as far back as the second century B.C. Another nomadic Yuezhi was forced to migrate from their neighbourhood because of their pressure which ultimately led to the invasions of the Sakas and the Kushanas in India. Later, the Huns themselves migrated to the west, and further dividing themselves into two parts, they proceeded towards the river Volga and the river Oxus respectively. The one threatened the Roman empire and the other Persia and India. By the fifth century A.D. the Hunas became a powerful force in Central Asia and, proceeding towards India, they occupied the north-west.
