What is the exact meaning of Moksha (Liberation)?



As we know that Hinduism is the world’s most ancient religion. Here, is a question that how this religion is unique than other religion in the world. Ya, Hinduism is completely unique religion, where other religions like Islam, Christian etc. preaches toward the path or to gain heaven. Here, Hinduism shows path to gain moksha meaning liberation. Hinduism says that there is the presence of heaven in Hindu mythology called as Swarg. It can be gain by doing good deeds in Life. But Hindu Spiritual practitioners doesn’t give much significant to achieve Heaven (Swarga). Because, by doing good deeds in Human life, some will get punya (Outcomes of Good deeds). On getting Sufficient Punya in Human Life, One can reach to Heaven, but on finishing of Punya, that soul will be thrown out from heaven. Hinduism also considers the concept of Heaven (Swarga) and Hell (Narka) on the basis of good and bad deeds in Human Life. When a Soul is get thrown out from heaven or hell, he again took birth on earth for full filling his desire. Again on the basis of deed, that souls achieves Heaven (Swarg) and Hell (Narka). The cycle of birth and death is repeated again and again. The liberation from repeated cycle of birth and death is called as Moskha (The liberation).
Every Hindu has the aim to achieve moksha (Liberation) and they try to achieve it in life. Hindu considers that this living Soul is separated from Supreme Soul (The almighty) and at last, it should be get merged into that supreme soul (Almighty). All living Souls are the pieces of Supreme Soul, so souls shouldn’t be trapped up in birth and death cycle. Undoubtedly, all living souls must do good work and get punya (Outcomes of good deeds). But shouldn’t expect to achieve heaven, because when you having Gold then you will not desire to get copper or any other material. After getting moksha (liberation), no any soul will take rebirth on earth.
The question comes into mind that how to get moksha (liberation) and why living soul take birth and death repeatedly. First, we will discuss why living soul takes birth and death. Due to having many desires in human life, soul has to take birth on earth to fulfill his desire and live all comforts what he has desired. While living soul losses his desires. Then, that soul doesn’t take birth again and get liberated. Living Soul can losses his desire by following the path of spirituality and devotion to supreme soul. Desires of living comfort and facilities can be ended by practicing and mediation. 

Jai Maha Kaal

In Hinduism, Why Arghya (Offering Water) is offered to Baal Surya (Red Sun) in the morning?

In Hinduism, All Hindus used to offer water called Arghya to Lord Surya during morning, mostly to Bal Surya also can be said as Red Sun, when sun arises. Most of peoples and modern science thought that such a kind of activities are like a blind faith. Even Some modern educated Hindus also considered it as blind faith. They says that offering water to Lord Sun is a kind of non-sense thing and they questions that by doing water offering to red sun, will that sun will get that water?. May they think right or they may be wrong. But thinking in scientific way, Hindu rishi and saints were so clever that without any reasons they had not started any religious activities in Hinduism.
As that science has revealed that due to the exposure of morning sun rays human body get Vitamin D and prevents various types of diseases from human body. As in western countries, a trend has started to take regular sun bath to make a healthier life style. But western countries only take sun bath and never thank or not having feeling of respect for Sun.
But Hindu Saints and Rishis were clever, so they preach every Hindus to worship morning Red Sun by offering water or some other way to accept sun rays as blessing to prevent various diseases of skin and bones etc. They had started it as Spiritual activities by connecting with divine faith and to get mental peacefulness for all. Hence, for this Surya Puja (Worship of Sun) has started.
In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that by getting correct exposure of Sun rays can prevent thousands of disease. On earth, Sun is the only the prime source of energy, due to which life is exist on earth. Offering water to Red Sun in the morning is a respect for Lord Sun, in many types of worship, Sun is worshiped. Sun ray has abilities to kill various infectious microorganism.
Offering water to Lord Sun in morning was a compulsory duty for all Hindus to take Sun bath. This was the only Scientific Reason behind this activities. Jai Mahakaal.

If we are helping some one, then other people will help us sometime. If we hate and spread violence in society. Then society people will also do violence with us. Everything come back, this is the cycle of energy. Energy and forces are connncted to every activitity in universe as speaking, thinking, loving, hating, egoing, violeting or any other action. Energy is required to do any action.

What is the correct meaning of Mantra?

Almost in all religion in the world, sound of words or sentence has its own significance in the form of poem, prayer or slogan etc. In Hindu religions, it has a very much importance to sound. Basically words and speeches are used to communicate in society through speaking and writing.

Some specific words, sentence, a letter or any specific sound are considered as mantra and recited in daily. Hindu spiritual followers almost daily chant some word or can be called as mantra to attained the spiritual upliftment. 
Mantra are nothing but sound of some word and sentences. A question arises in mind " what is the exact meaning of mantra and why it is called as mantra". In Hindu religion various kinds of meditations techniques are proposed. One of those meditation technique, chanting of any word / sentence and concentrating mind on the meaning if that word and sentence is a type of concentration. 
In Hindu scriptures, it is specified as the word or sentence, which control the mind and develop the concentration on understanding / meaning of word / sentences are called as mantra. Simple, which can control the mind and not allow to go mind here and there or not allowing mind to get diverted from understanding of mantra word and feelng. In Hindu religion, such meditation techniques are being used from 1000 of year. When no any other religion was in existence.

There are various types of mantra in Hindu religions. All those mantras creat some feeling in mind of reciter of that mantra. Modern psychology also accept that if any person think anything and feels accordingly, then he is attracting that thought to be happen in reality. Yes, thought is a imagination but continuously thinking on any topic. Nature will bring that thought to be happen in reality. Therefore mantra helps to Concentrate on single thought or feeling. After chanting mantra for some time, we get mastery and control over that thought and feeling of that mantra. Such a success in mantra recitation is called siddhi.
In Hindu religion, some of mantras are meaningless but create some specific sound or vibration in environment. Due to this, some feelings are generated in mind. Such feelings go on increasing day by day on reciting that mantra. Such mantras may be of a single letter or more than a single letter. Those mantras are called as Beej mantras like ह्रीं, श्रीं, क्लिं, ऐं, डूं and द्रों.
Thank you.

Why Hindus follows Mrutyu Sutak (Death Ritual Unhygienic conditions) ?

In Hindu scriptures, Death is considered as eternal truth. The things which are made, once those will be get destroyed. The creatures who are born in the earth will be died . Whoever died will reborn again. Hinduism always believe in repeatation flow of energy means rebirth.
Hindu follow some rituals after the death of any Human being. That is called as Mrityu Sutak (Death ritual).

Death ritual are considered for twelve days. After the death of any person in any family, the whole family or dynasty peoples stay separate from society till the completion of death ritual. They don't go to place where society peoples gathered like temple and market. Even they are not allowed to touch society peoples and celebrate the festival during this period. 

Due to such kinds of restriction, any person may think that all these are nonsense and blind faith. But on the basis of scientific evaluation, it should be done. In modern days, to stop prevention of epidemic or flu diseases through environment, patients are treated within some restricted area. Similarly, family or dynasty peoples of death person are restricted due to having doubt that the person died may have some epidemic diseases and peoples around that people also may have infection. Hence, the infection in family peoples of that death peoples are monitored upto 12 days. In olden days, there was no facilities to detect epidemic diseases and hence, such methods was being used to stop prevention of epidemic disease. Then a question arises in mind, then why it is followed for all kinds of death like accidental, endemic diseases and natural death. Here is the answer, in all kinds of diseases, immunity of human body get reduced and there is the probability to be infected by epidemic diseases.
Then another question arises, why it is followed only upto 12 days.  In olden day, the incubation period of any diseases in human body was considered as approximately 12 days ( According to modern science incubation period may be more or less related to various diseases).

Why olden day kings were marrying more than one?

In ancient India, a man could marry with many women. When in current Hindu society, it is not allowed. But it can be read in ancient Hindu scriptures, kings and general peoples were allowed to marry more than one and they were having many children. The question is why such a thing was allowed in ancient time. When the Hinduism is most cultural and civilized religion.
There were many reason to marry with different women. In modern world, it is known as polygamy. First reason is that, in ancient time population of women (female) were more than man (male). Then, it was very difficult to search a capable person for a girl. Girls were on highest peak of sexual desire. Hence, intellectual peoples of that time allowed people of society to follow polygamy to stabilize the social arrangement and want to prevent unsocial activities like rape and malicious relationship.

Second reason for accepting polygamy (Doing marriage more than one) in ancient india was to make a good relationships with enemy and to stabilize the ruling system.
Third reason of polygamy was, by marrying with daughter or Sister of enemy was considered as one of the victory over the enemy by conquering their kingdom. Some time defeated king accept patronage of the victorious king by marrying their daughter or Sister with him to protect his kingdom from destruction.
Fourth biggest reason of ancient king of India were marrying more than one to spread their empire or to full fill the requirement of Army power by the relative king in war. Relative kings were supporting each other in war by supply army and lots of wealth.

Fifth reason is to spread their empire of family, ancient monarchy system was allowing their king or emperor to mary more than one. So the king can provide  more succession to control over the largest empire.
