Meditation
Meemaansaa
Investigation or analysis. A Sanskrit word meaning "investigation".
It is the name of an Aastik ("orthodox") school of Hindu philosophy
whose primary enquiry is into the nature of Dharm based on close hermeneutics
of the Ved. Its core tenets are ritualism (orthopraxy) , anti-asceticism and
anti-mysticism. The central aim of the school is elucidation of the nature of
Dharm, understood as a set ritual obligations and prerogatives to be performed
properly. The nature of Dharm isn't accessible to reason or observation, and
must be inferred from the authority of the revelation contained in the Ved,
which are considered eternal, authorless (Apaurusheyatwa), and infallible. Meemaansaa
is strongly concerned with textual exegesis, and consequently
gave rise to the study of philology and the philosophy of language. Its notion of
Shabd "speech" as indivisible unity of sound and meaning (signifier and
signified) is due to Bhartrihari
(7th century). There are two Meemaansaa - Poorv Meemaansaa and Uttar
Meemaansaa.
Meen
(1) The last Sign of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac - Pisces. (2) Fish.
Megh Mani
Megh means clouds and Mani means gem, so Megh Mani means the gem which
is born from clouds. Garud Puraan, Chapter LXIX (69) -"Soot Jee
said... "A cloud-grown pearl rarely reaches this mortal globe, and
usually falls to the lot of the celestials. By illuminating the four
quarters of the sky with its native luster, a cloud-begotten pearl, like
the Sun dispels the gloom of a cloudy day. Outshining the combined
effulgence of the fire, the Moon, and the myriads of scintillating
stars, such a pearl, like the dawn of day, can dispel the gloom of even
the darkest night on earth. The whole earth, girdled by the four oceans
containing innumerable gems in the fathomless depths, can not be deemed
as the adequate price of such a pearl, even if she be covered over with
layers of pure gold. A man, born in indigence and of humble parents, but
happening to be the possessor of such a pearl, only through the
transformation of a good deed done in a previous existence, is sure to
be the paramount sovereign of the entire surface of the Earth. Not to
the good deeds of the king alone, but to the better fortune of the whole
humanity, should be ascribed the advent of such a man on earth, and no
evil would ever strike the land to the extent of a thousand Yojan (a
Yojan is about 8 to 9 miles) round the place of his birth."
Menhdee
Hina, or Heenaa, or Henna, also called Menhdee is a temporary body decoration
that looks like a tattoo but isn't. It is fast, easy, painless and most
importantly it is a beautiful form of natural body decoration. It lasts
for about 12 days and then slowly fades away. Centuries of migration and
cultural interaction makes it difficult to determine where particular
traditions began. But there is some historical evidence that henna originated
in ancient India as a ceremonial art form. Others believe that henna was
introduced to India in the 12th century. It's been used for at least 5000
years as a cosmetic and for it's natural healing properties. There's also
documentation that henna was used in ancient Egypt to stain the fingers and
toes of the Pharaohs prior to mummification.
Henna is a small shrub called hawsonia inermis and is found in Eeraan, India,
Pakistan, Egypt, and North Africa. The young leaves and twigs are ground into
a fine paste or powder, then mixed with hot water and applied to fingernails,
palms and hair to give them a reddish-orange color. In order to decorate hands
and feet, henna is processed in a special way and packed in a cone for ease in
decoration. During hot weather, henna acts as a cooling agent when applied to
the palms of the hands and the bottoms of the feet in addition to leaving a deep
reddish-brownish color on the skin. When used as a temporary tattoo henna is
applied to the skin and then left to dry. For darker shades, it should be left
for at least four hours before being brushed off. Once it is flaked or brushed
off, the color left behind will darken over the next 12 hours or so.
