I did not know that Ganesha had a sister as depicted in the show. Can anyone share some information about her. Is she younger or older to Ganesha?

Ashok Sundari's story-she is a boon recived from the Kalpvriksh,Parvati then chooses a groom for her-Nahush

then as she grows up to become a beautiful maiden,she is attacked by an asur she curses the Asur that he will die at the hands of Nahush

the Asur attempts to kill Nahush,and thinking he is dead tries to attack Ashok sundari again when Nahush comes and saves he, Nahush kills the asur and marries Ashok Sundari

AS is supposed to be very brave,but other than she isnt involved in the Ganesha issue

the Ashoks undrari story is different from the Gujrathi story-there the girl is reborn

here she isnt

Ashoka sundaris story ends with her getting married to Nahush.

She is elder then ganesh.

hi...
could someone pls enlighten on the topic of japa mala esp sphatik.

can a person gifts someone a japa mala esp sphatik? i have heard that one shouldn't gift japa mala - is this right? if so, what are the consequences?

is it ok for girls to wear sphatik mala or should it only be used for japa?

can anyone use this mala to do any japa or particularly it should be used to japa Goddess?

thank you so much for time.

Sphatik japa mala is used for Devi's mantra japas. Gifting a newly purchased Japa mala is ok but the one in use by a person, should not be gifted, as it contains power of Japas done on it.

Sphatik is a semi precious Gem stone, like all other Gem stones even Sphatik's mala, pendatant can be worn.

A japa mala becomes a japa mala only after it has been used for japa. Otherwise it is just another ornament .

A the time of purchasing, (you have to ensure that the sphatiks are genuine- there are lot of fakes also being sold) it is just a mala- necklace. Only by repeated usage for japa does it acquire spiritual properties. There are also rules on how a japa mala should be made: the kind of thread inside (it should not be plastic thread,) there should be no other gems/metal, etc. Ensure that these rules are followed so that the mala becomes efective

You can gift it to someone -provided it is newly purchased. No harm there. You can gift it after it has been purchased and put on a diety's idol as offering. You cannot gift it after you have worn it on your body. In case you gift it after having worn it, it can at best be use as necklace- not for japa.

Cases where a japa mala can be gifted: A japa mala that has been used for japa is loaded with spiritual power. It is not gifted in a trivial manner. A Guru who has used it / worn it may give it to his/ her shishya. What I mean is, if the japa mala is going to be handed over to another person, it should be given / received in a proper manner.

Yes, I would say anyone can use the sphatika mala for japa. If you begin to read the scriptures with a microscope, the rules of what women should not do are far more that what women should do. So, we need not follow all that too strictly.

Ravan's father was a human being and his mother was a rakshasa.So who is ravan actually,a human being or a rakshasa?In almost all the stories,i have read that ravan is a rakshasa.Is it because of his evil deeds that he is called a rakshasa or there's some other reason?

AFAIK, Because he was born to a rakshashi woman, he acquired the physical / mental characteristics of a rakshasha and the asuric qualities in him remained predominant.

But since he was born to a brahmin father, automatically his gotra and jaati were that of a brahmin. Technically, he was a brahmin, but practically a rakshasha.

Hence, after his killing, Rama had to expatiate his sin of brahma hatya.

This is my understanding. Other explanations welcome.

My doubt is have anyone read Oath of vayuputras is sati dead in this book or even parvati introduced if somone have read it
