  • The Vedic culture was very much in tune with nature and fundamental elements of creation. Did you know the number of directions and their significance as per the Vedic teachings?
    In this short vlog, I've explored the cardinal and ordinal directions as described in the Vedas.
    Have a blessed day 🙏
    Below are the Sanskrit and English versions of the Mantras for these directions:
    East
    पूर्वदले ॐ इन्द्राय नमः। pūrvadale om̐ indrāya namaḥ |
    South-East
    आग्नेयदले ॐ अग्नये नमः। āgneyadale om̐ agnaye namaḥ |
    South
    दक्षिणदले ॐ यमाय नमः। dakṣiṇadale om̐ yamāya namaḥ |
    South-West
    नैॠत्यदले ॐ निॠर्तये नमः। naiṝtrtyadale om̐ niṝrtaye namaḥ |
    West
    पश्चिमदले ॐ वरुणाय नमः। paścimadale om̐ varuṇāya namaḥ |
    North-West
    वायव्यदले ॐ वायवे नमः। vāyavyadale om̐ vāyave namaḥ |
    North
    उत्तरदले ॐ कुबेराय नमः। uttaradale om̐ kuberāya namaḥ |
    North-East
    ईशान्यदले ॐ ईशानाय नमः। īśānyadale om̐ īśānāya namaḥ |
    Upward direction
    ऊर्द्वदले ॐ ब्रह्मणे नमः। ūrdvadale om̐ brahmaṇe namaḥ |
    Downward direction
    अधोदले ॐ आदिशेषाय नमः। adhodale om̐ ādiśeṣāya namaḥ |
    Inward direction
    ॐ आत्मने नमः। om̐ ātmane namaḥ |
    "Thus I offer my salutations to the directions and their guardians":

    Namaste. Excellent video. What are you chanting at 2:57, 3:43, 5:58, 6:33, 8:49, 10:16, 11:42, 12:57, 16:15? Are these invocations? Should they be chanted at the beginning of a meditation?

    • @KYGYoga
      @KYGYoga  3 роки тому +3

      These are chants saluting the energies in the different directions.. You could chant them before meditation.

      Sairam 🙏🏼An octagon shaped room is unique and represents the 8 directions.. Of course you can use that room.. Be mindful of which direction you face. Ideally you would want to face East or North East for meditation/prayer

    Namaste Sunderji, Appreciate your time and effort to educate us significance of directions. I have experienced ill effects of placing the alter in South East, subsequently a Pundit from India visited our house advised us to move alter to North East, then on I noticed positive changes manifest in our life. Houses are build to suit building code and size and shape of land. Vastu / directions may not be considered. We just use the provided spaces to suit us without any knowledge of effects of directions, especially, our work stations, beds, alters, cooking stove..!! Thank you for the knowledge share it is indeed very valuable information.
