Need a bigger picture, cant make it out. Something about beauty and love.

Both of those have mistakes, so don't make the tatoo. I don't know how to write in devanagari here on the computer, so I can't help you further.

There is some information in this article: http://www.remedyspot.com/news/health-and-ayurveda/ayurvedic-health-retreats-in-south-india-r172 They recommend Arya Vaidya Shala in South India as well as a couple others.

The color of things change constantly all around us. Even on the elemental level you are looking at a product created by mixing ingredients, like flour is used to make bread. Elements are not the fundamental units of matters existence. You must first break matter down to its smallest unit of existence.

You will have to cite the original statements of Madhva for people to answer your questions properly. Though I am not an expert on dvaita, there are countless descriptions in shastra of changing bell metal to gold. The concept that one metal canot be changed into another appears to be something only you are arguing, unless you can provide an exact sanskrit quote from Madhva where he says this. Further transformation of matter is not even in question here. All matter transforms. This is a universally accepted truth. Everything we use is a transformation of matter. The food you eat is a transformation of matter. Where are the original ingredients in your dosa? You can no longer see them. The clothes you wear, you can no longer see the cotton plant. The metal items you use, you can no longer see the rough stones that were transformed into iron. Everywhere in life there is transformation of matter form one state to another. Jada Jada Bheda speaks nothing about there being no transformation in the qualities of one material particle to another state. It simply states that one particle of matter is real and distinct from another particle of matter. Just as one atma is distinct from another atma, in the same way one particle of matter is distinct from another particle of matter.

Even if you convert one element to another, the essential building blocks of the element remained in their individual state, different from each other. Thus jada-jada bheda remains. If you have a bunch of lego blocks you can build many things with them. You can build a car, and then you can take the same legos, rearange them and build a house. The essential building blocks of individual legos remain different form each other, even though you can convert the lego car into a lego house. When we see one item being converted into another, it means we are not seeing the essential building block that makes up that matter. We are only seeing the external manifested product.

MP3 of Aditya Hridayam is in the downloads sections:

Chandra-loka is the celestial planet of the moon where higher beings reside. You can find a bit here: http://www.kamakoti.org/kamakoti/details/skandapurana37.html?PHPSESSID=70aeed497c6dfa4d2c6b0203621275ff "The next is of Chandra Loka which is the epitome of coolness, happiness, health and mental peace. Chandra was the son of Sage Atri who performed Tapasya for three thousand Divya Years to Brahma who not only blessed the Sage to beget Chandra but even brought up the child. Having come of age, Chandra too did Tapasya to Bhagavan Siva at the Avimukta Kshetra Kasi and set up a Siva Linga called Chandrasekhara. Siva was pleased with Chandra’s worship and adorned the best ‘Kala’ (feature) of Chandra on His head; later on Daksha Prajapati cursed Chandra to disappear but the best Kala of Chandra retained on Maha Deva’s ‘mastak’ (head) is revived every Purnima night but gradually wanes day by day till Amavasya and grows gradually again grows there after in the ensuing fortnight. With the blessing of Mahadeva, Lord Vighneswara gave Chandra the responsibility of ‘Beejas’ (seeds), ‘Aushadhis’ (Medicines), Water and of Brahmanas. Mondays are the days dear to Chandra and worship to him, especially if coinciding with Amavasya, has far reaching benefits of good health, mental peace, ‘Dhanya Vriddhi’ or plentiful foodgrains and stay at Chandra Loka after life."

Do a search in google for Amar Chitra Katha comic books.

He was a muslim fakir who hindus respected because of his spiritual powers.

Which state are you in? Many of the holy places have become picnic spots or tourist spots with lots of pollution and disturbance. There are still a few isolated places that remain untouched where sadhus can stay and do tapasya. There is a mountain in Orissa which is connected with the sapta rishis in a mystical way. It contains the saptarishi gateway which higher beings use to travel between their realm and ours. It is hard to stay there and do sadhana as it is remote, etc., but some sadhus are there.

You can perform sadhana at their peethams. There are many holy places linked to the Saptarishis, some well known and some only known among sadhus. Performing dhyanam and sadhana at their own places opens the link to them.

I believe the correct site is shiva.org
