Yoga in its earliest form back to 3100 BC, if not earlier. And Mohenjo-Daro as well, obviously.

Yoga meditation can thus be safely dated to have its origins as early as 5000 years ago, if not earlier. And to have originally been associated with a peaceful, mother goddess type of understanding.

Indian #carnelian #beads with white design, etched in white with an alkali through a heat process, imported to Susa in 2600–1700 BC. Found in the tell of the Susa acropolis. Louvre Museum, reference Sb 17751. These beads are identical with beads found in the #Indus Civilization site of Dholavira [ #Gujarat].

The next significant way that the #Veda is not like the #Bible is because it does not really use a chain of descent from #Adam.

In fact prior to its founders it says humanity went back "for ages and ages".

Its origin, #Ayodhya, is not modern Ayodhya, it may not be an actual place, may be a symbol, such as, evidently from Atharva Veda, a yogic symbol of the #human #body. Grammatically, ayodhya is an adjective, similar to #Invincible.

aṣṭācakrā navadvārā devānāṃ pūrayodhyā
tasyāṃ hiraṇyayaḥkośaḥ svargo jyotiṣāvṛtaḥ

Eight-wheeled, nine-doored, is the impregnable stronghold of the gods;
in that is a golden vessel, heaven-going (swarga), covered with #light

—Atharvaveda 10.2.31 —Translation by William Dwight Whitney

The #Mystical #Power of Nepalese #Rudraksha #Beads

Introduction:
One of the most renowned and mysterious gemstones, Rudraksha beads, are found in Nepal, a country rich in #ancient customs and spiritual practises. Hindus place great religious significance on these heavenly beads made from Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree seeds, which have been treasured for ages by #spiritual seekers and believers. We explore the history, meaning, and spiritual benefits of Nepalese Rudraksha beads in this essay.

Origin and Authenticity:
In the foothills of the #Himalayas, where the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree flourishes in the pristine natural environment, Nepalese Rudraksha beads are predominantly sourced for their origin and authenticity. Due to their genuineness and true spiritual vibrations, these beads, known for their outstanding quality, are much sought after. The power and purity of the Rudraksha beads found in this area are a result of the hallowed soil, unpolluted air, and peaceful energy of #Nepal.

Symbolism and Spiritual Significance:
Hindu mythology has a strong connection to rudraksha beads, which are thought to be a gift from Lord #Shiva. The words " #Rudra" and "Aksha," which both signify tears in #Sanskrit, are combined to form the word "Rudraksha." Rudra is another name for Lord Shiva. These beads are revered as precious objects and are linked to wellbeing, spiritual development, and heavenly protection. Rudraksha beads are said to promote harmony, calm, and inner transformation when worn or used during meditation.

Types and Mukhi (Facets):
A distinctive feature of Nepalese Rudraksha beads is the quantity of Mukhi, or facets. Each Mukhi represents a distinct deity and has unique characteristics and advantages. The rarest and most potent bead is a single Mukhi, but greater Mukhi counts, like five, six, or even 21 Mukhi, are also possible. Each Mukhi is thought to provide a unique blessing and align with particular chakras, promoting spiritual development and overall wellbeing.

Healing and Therapeutic Properties:
In addition to being valued for their spiritual importance, rudraksha beads are thought to have healing qualities. According to legend, the beads give off uplifting vibrations that are claimed to balance the wearer's energy, soothe the mind, and reduce tension. They are known to increase focus, sharpen memory, and advance general physical and mental health. Additionally, many practitioners employ Rudraksha beads in Ayurvedic treatments and complementary medical procedures.

Care and Maintenance:
The right maintenance is necessary to keep Nepalese Rudraksha beads pure and effective. It is important to gently wipe the beads with a soft cloth to maintain them clean and free of dirt or contaminants. When not in use, the beads should be kept in a tidy, sacred location. The Rudraksha beads are thought to have additional spiritual and healing benefits when worn when regularly chanting or meditating.

Conclusion:
Rudraksha beads from Nepal represent #divine #protection, spirituality, and all-around wellbeing. People looking for spiritual growth and connection highly value them because of their rich history, mystical significance, and healing effects. Nepalese Rudraksha beads continue to captivate the hearts of believers and serve as a potent reminder of the fundamental connections between spirituality, nature, and the human soul, whether worn as a spiritual adornment or used for their healing abilities.
