Hanuman and his importance in Hinduism
आज है अदभूत दिन, कलयुग में आज त्रेता जैसा संयोग
देहरादून। हनुमान कर्म के देवता हैं और बल, बुद्धि, विद्या के प्रतिरूप भी। इसीलिए गोस्वामी तुलसीदास कहते हैं, 'बल बुद्धि विद्या देहु मोहि, हरहु कलेस विकार।' कहने का मतलब यदि मनुष्य को यह तीनों चीजें मिल जाएं तो विकार स्वयं ही दूर हो जाते हैं। कहते हैं पवनपुत्र जैसा कोई नहीं। भक्त तो कई हैं, लेकिन जो बात रुद्रावतार हनुमान में है, वो किसी में नहीं। इसलिए उन्हें कलयुग का देवता कहा गया है। आज इन्हीं हनुमान जी की जयंती है और पंचांग गणना के अनुसार इस मौके पर ठीक वैसा ही संयोग बन रहा है, जैसा त्रेतायुग में उनके जन्म के समय रहा होगा।
ज्योतिषीय गणना के अनुसार हनुमान जी का जन्म एक करोड़ 85 लाख 58 हजार 112 वर्ष पहले चैत्र पूर्णिमा को मंगलवार के दिन चित्र नक्षत्र व मेष लग्न के योग में सुबह 6.03 बजे हुआ था। आचार्य डॉ.संतोष खंडूड़ी के अनुसार इस बार चित्र नक्षत्र सोमवार शाम 3.13 बजे से आरंभ हो गया और बुधवार सुबह 5.08 बजे तक रहेगा। वह बताते हैं कि हनुमान जयंती पर चंद्रग्रहण भी पड़ रहा है, लेकिन यह देश में कहीं भी नहीं दिखाई देगा। इसलिए ग्रहण का सूतक भी नहीं माना जाएगा।
च्योतिषाचार्य डॉ.सुशांतराज बताते हैं कि हनुमान जयंती पर शनि अपनी उच्च राशि तुला में विराजमान है। इस दौरान सुबह 6:11 से दोपहर 1:12 बजे तक राजयोग रहेगा। बजरंगबली की इस योग में पूजा विशेष फलदायी मानी गई है। च्योतिषीय दृष्टि से देखें तो जिनकी कुंडली में मंगल की महादशा व अंतर्दशा चल रही हो, उनके लिए इस दिन पूजन का विशेष महत्व है।
अष्ट सिद्धि नव निधि के दाता-
हनुमान जी बुद्धि एवं बल के प्रदाता हैं। वह अष्ट सिद्धि व नवनिधि के दाता हैं। उत्तरकांड में श्रीराम हनुमान को प्रज्ञा, धीर, वीर, राजनीति में निपुण आदि विशेषणों से संबोधित किया गया है।
यह हैं अष्ट सिद्धियां-
अणिमा- देह को अणु समान रूप देना।
लंघिमा- शरीर को भारहीन करने का गुण।
महिमा- शरीर को अत्यंत बड़ा बना लेना।
गरिमा- देह का भार बढ़ा लेना।
प्राप्ति- वस्तु की कामना पर वह तत्क्षण प्राप्त हो।
प्राकाम्य- इच्छित वस्तु दीर्घकाल तक स्थायी रूप में रहे।
ईशित्व- नेतृत्व की क्षमता प्राप्त करना।
वशित्व- समस्त इंद्रियों पर नियंत्रण करना।

Biggest victims of Islam
1) People who claim to know god and speak in his name are the worst enemies of reason, rationality and honesty.
2) A lot of violence has taken place in the name of god, and islam was, is and will be the worst offender. No religion misuses god's name as much as does islam.
3) Muslim leaders want that muslims should remain semi-ignorant and emotional. Such people can be easily misused for fascism. Islam is an ideology that satisfies several criteria of fascism and totalitarianism.
4) Islam is also an instrument of arabic imperialism upon non-arabs.
5) Because of these basic defects and deficiencies in islam this ideology (=islam) can be maintained only with the help of many lies and manipulations and intimidations. Anything that exposes these lies causes muslims to become emotional and even violent. Muslims are thus the biggest victims of islam.

How does smoking affects on Health?
Smoking harms nearly every organ of
the body. Some of these harmful effects are immediate. Find out the health
effects of smoking and what happens to your body when you quit. Click on a body
part icon or title to learn more.
Effects on Brain -- Become addicted.
Nicotine from cigarettes is as
addictive as heroin. Nicotine addiction is hard to beat because it changes your
brain. The brain develops extra nicotine receptors to accommodate the large
doses of nicotine from tobacco. When the brain stops getting the nicotine it’s
used to, the result is nicotine withdrawal. You may feel anxious, irritable, and
have strong cravings for nicotine.
Head and Face --
Ears
Hearing loss. Smoking reduces the
oxygen supply to the cochlea, a snail-shaped organ in the inner ear. This may
result in permanent damage to the cochlea and mild to moderate hearing loss.
Eyes
Blindness and night vision. Smoking
causes physical changes in the eyes that can threaten your eyesight. Nicotine
from cigarettes restricts the production of a chemical necessary for you to be
able to see at night. Also, smoking increases your risk of developing cataracts
and macular degeneration (both can lead to blindness).
Mouth
Cavities. Smoking takes a toll on
your mouth. Smokers have more oral health problems than non-smokers, like mouth
sores, ulcers and gum disease. You are more likely to have cavities and lose
your teeth at a younger age. You are also more likely to get cancers of the
mouth and throat.
Face
Smoker’s face. Smoking can cause
your skin to be dry and lose elasticity, leading to wrinkles and stretch marks.
Your skin tone may become dull and grayish. By your early 30s, wrinkles can
begin to appear around your mouth and eyes, adding years to your face.
Effects on Heart
Smoking raises your blood pressure
and puts stress on your heart. Over time, stress on the heart can weaken it,
making it less able to pump blood to other parts of your body. Carbon monoxide
from inhaled cigarette smoke also contributes to a lack of oxygen, making the
heart work even harder. This increases the risk of heart disease, including
heart attacks.
Sticky
blood
Smoking makes your blood thick and
sticky. The stickier the blood, the harder your heart must work to move it
around your body. Sticky blood is also more likely to form blood clots that
block blood flow to your heart, brain, and legs. Over time, thick, sticky blood
damages the delicate lining of your blood vessels. This damage can increase
your risk for a heart attack or stroke.
Fatty
deposits
Smoking increases the amount of
cholesterol and unhealthy fats circulating in the bloods, leading to unhealthy
fatty deposits. Over time, cholesterol, fats, and other debris build up on the
walls of your arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries and blocks normal
blood flow to the heart, brain, and legs. Blocked blood flow to the heart or
brain can cause a heart attack or stroke. Blockage in the blood vessels of your
legs could result in the amputation of your toes or feet.
Effects on Lungs --
Scarred Lung
Smoking causes inflammation in the
small airways and tissues of your lungs. This can make your chest feel tight or
cause you to wheeze or feel short of breath. Continued inflammation builds up
scar tissue, which leads to physical changes to your lungs and airways that can
make breathing hard. Years of lung irritation can give you a chronic cough with
mucus.
Emphysema
Smoking destroys the tiny air sacs,
or alveoli, in the lungs that allow oxygen exchange. When you smoke, you are
damaging some of those air sacs. Alveoli don’t grow back, so when you destroy
them, you have permanently destroyed part of your lungs. When enough alveoli
are destroyed, the disease emphysema develops. Emphysema causes severe
shortness of breath and can lead to death.
Cilia
Respiratory Infections. Your airways
are lined with tiny brush like hairs, called cilia. The cilia sweep out mucus
and dirt so your lungs stay clear. Smoking temporarily paralyzes and even kills
cilia. This makes you more at risk for infection. Smokers get more colds and
respiratory infections than non-smokers.
DNA--
Cancer
Your body is made up of cells that
contain genetic material, or DNA, that acts as an “instruction manual” for cell
growth and function. Every single puff of a cigarette causes damages to your
DNA. When DNA is damaged, the “instruction manual” gets messed up, and the cell
can begin growing out of control and create a cancer tumor. Your body tries to
repair the damage that smoking does to your DNA, but over time, smoking can
wear down this repair system and lead to cancer (like lung cancer). One-third
of all cancer deaths are caused by tobacco.
Stomach and Hormones--
Belly
Bigger belly. Smokers have bigger
bellies and less muscle than non-smokers. They are more likely to develop type
2 diabetes, even if they don’t smoke every day. Smoking also makes it harder to
control diabetes once you already have it. Diabetes is a serious disease that
can lead to blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, and amputations.
Lower
estrogen levels
Smoking lowers a female’s level of
estrogen. Low estrogen levels can cause dry skin, thinning hair, and memory
problems. Women who smoke have a harder time getting pregnant and having a
healthy baby. Smoking can also lead to early menopause, which increases your
risk of developing certain diseases (like heart disease).
Erectile Dysfunction--
Failure
to launch
Smoking increases the risk of
erectile dysfunction—the inability to get or keep and erection. Toxins from
cigarette smoke can also damage the genetic material in sperm, which can cause
infertility or genetic defects in your children.
High
white blood cell count
When you smoke, the number of white
blood cells (the cells that defend your body from infections) stays high. This
is a sign that your body is under stress—constantly fighting against the
inflammation and damage caused by tobacco. A high white blood cell count is
like a signal from your body, letting you know you’ve been injured. White blood
cell counts that stay elevated for a long time are linked with an increased
risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.
Longer
to heal
Nutrients, minerals, and oxygen are
all supplied to the tissue through the blood stream. Nicotine causes blood
vessels to tighten, which decreases levels of nutrients supplied to wounds. As
a result, wounds take longer to heal. Slow wound healing increases the risk of
infection after an injury or surgery and painful skin ulcers can develop,
causing the tissue to slowly die.
Weakened
immune system
Cigarette smoke contains high levels
of tar and other chemicals, which can make your immune system less effective at
fighting off infections. This means you’re more likely to get sick. Continued
weakening of the immune system can make you more vulnerable to autoimmune
diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. It also decreases
your body’s ability to fight off cancer!
Muscles and Bones ---
Tired muscles
Muscle deterioration. When you
smoke, less blood and oxygen flow to your muscles, making it harder to build
muscle. The lack of oxygen also makes muscles tire more easily. Smokers have
more muscle aches and pains than non-smokers.
More
Broken Bones
Ingredients in cigarette smoke
disrupt the natural cycle of bone health. Your body is less able to form
healthy new bone tissue, and it breaks down existing bone tissue more rapidly.
Over time, smoking leads to a thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density.
This causes bones to become weak and brittle. Compared to non-smokers, smokers
have a higher risk of bone fractures, and their broken bones take longer to
heal.
