The secret of Bhaagvat Dharm is known to only 12 people - Brahmaa Jee, Devarshi Naarad, Bhagvaan Shankar, Sanat Kumaar, Kapil Dev, Swaayambhuv Manu, Prahlaad, Janak Jee, Bheeshm Pitaamaha, Raajaa Bali, Shukdev Jee, and I (Dharm Raaj). Bhaagvat, 6/1

(Bhaagvat, 5/8) To the east of Meru Parvat is Indra's Devadhaanee Puree, to the south is Yam Raaj's Sanyamanee Puree, to the west is Varun's Nimlochanee Puree, and to the north is Chandramaa's Vibhaavaree Puree

Muhoort - a period of 1 hour and 48 minutes.  a lucky moment.  Horaa.  a period of time

According to our scriptures, 'the time taken to tear apart the softest of petals of a lotus' is called 'TRUTI'

100 Truti make 1 Lub
30 Lub make 1 Nimesh
27 Nimesh make 1 Guru Akshar
10 Guru Akshar Make 1 Pran
6   Pran Vighatikaa make 1 Ghatikaa or Dand
60 Ghatee make 1 day and night

That means, in a day and night, there are 17,49,60,000,00 Truti altogether, we may just wonder about the genious of our ancient sages and Rishi, because today, in spite of having facilities of modern laboratories and equipments, the modern science could identify 1 (one) second as the shortest division of the time. Thus, according to Western science, there are 86,400 seconds in a day and night, whereas in Indian science, a day and night consists of 17,49,60,000,00 Truti.

According to another system, the division of time has been made as follows :

60 Tatpar = 1 Paras
60 Paras = 1 Vilipta
60 Vilipta = 1 Lipta
60 Lipta = 1 Ghatikaa (Dand)
60 Ghatikaa = 1 Day & Night


Therefore, it is clear that there are 46,65,60,000,00 Tatpar in a day and night.

Whosoever does not win Kaam (lust and desires), Krodh (anger), Lobh (greed), Moh (intense love), Mad (pride) and Matsar (intense pride) - these six enemies, he has to do many actions in spite of his unwillingness to do any Karm." Bhaagvat 6/1

Adharm is of five types - Vi-Dharm, Par-Dharm, Aabhaas, Upmaa, and Chhal. Whatever action is done with Dharm and wisdom, but still hinders his own Dharm is called Vi-Dharm. When somebody else tell the Dharm for somebody else is called Par-Dharm. Paakhand is called Updharm or Upmaa. Misinterpretation of Shaastra is called Chhal (deception). When a human being accepts an action of another Aashram with his own will that is called "Aabhaag". Thus everybody should do his actions according to his own Aashram and nature. 
[Bhaagvat 7/8}

Upanishad say - "This body is like a chariot, Indriyaan are horses, Man (mind) is rein, all pleasures are paths, wisdom is the driver, 10 Praan are Dhuree (axle), Dharm and A-Dharm are two wheels of the chariot, and Jeev is the rider. Omkaar is the bow of the rider, Jeev is arrow, and Paramaatmaa is the aim. So control this chariot, take the Gyaan sword from Guru and destroy all your enemies, and leave this body to join Paramaatmaa."
[Bhaagvat, 7/8]

There are three types of A-Dwait - Bhaav A-Dwait, Kriyaa A-Dwait, and Dravya A-Dwait. As the cloth is a form of thread, in the same way action is also cause. Thinking unity in all is called Bhaav A-Dwait. All Karm, done by mind, speech and body, are done in Paramaatmaa only, thinking thus is called Kriyaa A-Dwait. All people's aims and pleasures are the same, so not discriminating between one's own and others, is called Dravya A-Dwait.
{Bhaagvat, 7/7]

[Yayaati to Devayaanee] Dear, all kinds of materials, grains, gold, animals, women cannot satisfy a man who has limitless desires. Enjoyment of pleasures does not satisfy desires.
