Smaller size PDF of Puranas from Gita Press Gorakhpur (WIP).

Gita Press Gorakhpur has published their books in PDF, digitized scan images in Public Domain. The problem I faced was they are huge in size. You can get those books from here https://archive.org/   search Gita press in the search option. It will show various files. Some are old and some are new. New scanned images are very high in size. e.g. https://archive.org/download/brahma-puran-gita-press-gorakhpur


The PDF is 1GB and _jp2.zip file is 561MB. I downloaded this zip and converted jp2 to jpg files and made PDF 72MB in size. Its good quality and has small size. I will slowly build other PDFs and upload them for others to download. Since the work is still in progress not all PDF are ready to download at present.

Here is link to how to make your own pdf like I did

https://ourinnovativemind.blogspot.com/2022/04/convert-images-in-batch-using-free.html

Convert images in batch using free tools then make PDF from them.

I was trying to collect public domain PDFs published by Gita Press Gorakhpur from archive.org but the sizes of pdfs are huge. They are unnecessarily high in size. Instead of pdf I downloaded JP2 files and batch converted them to jpg in lower quality setting without loosing any readability. Using this saved me huge space. If published PDF was of 2GB mine was <100MB and perfectly readable.


Above was an example to convert images in batch using free tools. Below are steps to do the same.


- Download ImageMagick-7.1.0-29-Q16-x64-static.exe from https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php

- Install it and try to run magick.exe from cmd.exe. cmd can be run from search box in windows 10.

- Put all images in some folder for example IMAGES. Open cmd.exe and change directory to the IMAGES folder. To do this copy address of this folder from file properties or address bar of windows file explorer. Go to cmd and type cd CTRL+V. Now type drive letter with colon. Example cd D:\folder1\folder2\IMAGES and then D:. This will move us inside the IMAGES folder.

- Type dir command and it should list all images. This shows we are inside the IMAGES folder.


Commands to convert images. Suppose images are jp2 files downloaded from archive.org and we want to convert them to jpg format inside JPG folder in IMAGES. Create JPG folder and run below command.


magick.exe mogrify -path JPG -quality 25% -resize 1500x1500 -format jpg *.jp2


quality option can be removed if not required. I needed it to reduce jpg size. Now it will take time and convert images to jpg format in JPG folder. Now convert these all JPGs to PDF with this command. Change directory to JPG folder using command cd JPG.


magick convert *.jpg -quality 25% 1.pdf


quality option can be removed. I just kept it in case various size PDF are to be tested.


To automate the process make a text file batch_convert.bat and paste below text into it.


mkdir jpg

magick.exe mogrify -path jpg -quality 25% -resize 1500x1500 -format jpg *.jp2

cd jpg

magick.exe convert *.jpg 1.pdf


Copy this file into folder which contains all jp2 files. Run this file double clicking it. When everything works fine it creates a PDF file 1.pdf. All jp2 and jpg files can be deleted later if not needed. To change quality of pdf -quality % value in bat file can be increased. If not sure just use 90%. Its default in most of JPG files.


Instead of using image magick we can also use Fast Stone Image viewer from https://www.faststone.org/FSView.erDetail.htm. This is really good image viewer and has batch conversion, rename tools. Go to Tools - Batch convert images to convert images in batch if you don't like ImageMagick. However ImageMagick is fast and has lots of options and works on Linux, Mac, Android etc. Learning to work with it will make you familiar with multiple OSes.

Hair growing herbs mentioned in Atharvaveda. Secret hair loss cure in veda.



Atharvaveda mentions "Shami" plant which is hair health booster and helps grow new hairs (Keshotpaddak). Mantras in screenshot talk about shami of bigger leaf size. This plant is also called Shani plant which is grown by Indians in their garden or pots. It has high religious significance and sacred value. Same emotion reflects in the mantra i.e. "we cut other plants except you".


NOTE:
Mantras in screenshot don't mention which part of shami plant but mostly its leaves are used and they are safe. Please refer to bottom EDIT section for shami fruit warning (hair destroyer).


Anyone can make oil of shami using some base oil like coconut oil. This method makes oil of leaves. First heat coconut oil and put some leaves and cook it until leaves become dark brown. Now filter the oil when it cools. You can try this oil for head massage in tiny amount on day 1. Test very small amount in beginning to check how it affects you. Its safe but just to be more careful i am saying this. Instead of cooking fresh leaves can be made into paste and applied on head in tiny amount. Nature based cure requires patience!. It requires 1-2 months at minimum to start delivering some results. Most people give up soon due to bad habits of expecting quick results created by modern medicines.

There are many other rare hair gain herbs or herbal medicine. Rasaut is also another example. Atharvaveda has lots of medicines, herbs etc mentioned which cure even genetic diseases!. Will cover that in other article.

Edit:

Ashtang Hridayam gives property of shami fruit as hair destroyer (keshnashak). This means fruit of this plant shouldn't be used on hairs.



More help regarding hair gain (part of my answer to quora platform)

I have prepared various hair oils by myself and they have helped on curing various issues like chronic dandruff. The oil making formula comes from ayurveda. You can make hair oil at home using any base oil like coconut, sesame (til tail) etc. Below herbs, things, activities help a lot for hair gain.

  • Shami plant leaves for hair gain as mentioned in Atharveda.
  • Banyan leaves (+ other parts too) based oil.
  • Jaborandi oil e.g. wheezal jaborandi oil.
  • Rasaut with coconut oil. Its a rare information and only patanjali uses this ingredient in their hair oil. But their oil has low concentration of it.
  • Shirshasan yoga (inverted pose i.e. standing on head legs upside). Its called king of all asanas and also great for brain. Ensures lots of blood flow to head. Doing this has immense benefits but check if this is ok to do. No high BP issues, neck, head etc injury are there.
  • You can also use derma roller on head skin.
  • I have some more methods which are rare and found them working but i hesitate how they will be taken into consideration by any reader. Like take tooth brush and put oil on head then stroke or press lightly on head skin with the bristles. This is to be taken experimental in nature and done very softly. Just like we break the trunk of tree and it grows new branches body also responds and builds new cells when we apply some hacks. This last point is done with own consent. Don't hurt or damage skin!. Don't want to write anything more about this method. This should be ignored completely if it feels like pseudoscience or stupid.

Most important thing is patience. Most critical things either bad or good are always slow in process and take long time. Body will trigger some genes, then new cellular development will start. It takes months to show noticeable results or may be more than year to show desired results.

Very advanced technology/words mentioned in Vedas


Vedas are flooded with space topic and other such things. Vedas are filled with mantras where they do yagya and make som ras a kind of anti-aging juice, elixir etc.

The rishis are making somras and offering them to devas to come down from sky or other worlds. Devas then come to consume the somras and in return give various valuable resources to humans. From gold to technology etc.

Vedas clearly and in multiple mantras speak of Devas making Planet Earth habitable. However the biggest problem is they use common words for multiple things. For example they use word Indra for Sun, cow for planet. Top part in screenshot it talks about how sun gives light to all planets, holds them with gravitation. Then indra word is also used for devas who have duty to manage human life. Indra finds cow (planet) hiding in dark caves (dark space) and makes it habitable. Vedas give us idea how devas manage life in a solar system and rakshas or asuras trying to ruin life on a planet.


48 mantra in screenshot tells about people doing yagya and making somras for Indra. When offered to Indra he comes down with a sound of a bull. Word horse is used here for spacecraft, bull sound for the sound it generates. Various bright lights are also mentioned in the horse!. Do horses have lights?. While offering somras people could go to heaven as reward.


23 mantra - The Ashwini Kumars have 3 chakra rath which means some kind of craft or vimana. This vimana is invisible.

There are many references to such flying things, heaven, super sonic speed etc. I will continue in next articles.

Earth has entered into Yugant Kaal the most chaotic time and end of kaliyug as per puranas.







The images are from Brahm puran, brahm vaivarta puran etc.


I have read many predictions in various Hindu texts but i couldn't figure out what time frame it matches. Finally i figured it out the end of kaliyuga is near. Various puranas tell about the kaliyug and what will happen in it. The predictions are fragmented and dispersed in various Hindu texts. The predictions are of different stage of kaliyuga. In brahm puran i found prediction of Yugant kaal i.e. the end of kaliyuga.

I figured out current time is the time puranas have mentioned and predicted the events for it.

The shishyas ask Vyas ji about kaliyuga. He starts saying we have come to the time when even small good karma will give big boons but this time is very chaotic. Kaliyuga is the time of adharma i.e. bad karma. Bad karma is the dharma of this yuga. It means good karma will suffer in this time but this suffering will give boon for afterlife. Below are the signs which prove yugant kaal had started.

- Stars will faint. It means the light of stars will diminish. This has already happened and we know in cities stars are barely visible due to multiple types of pollution.

- Among domestic animals number of cow will reduce and omnivorous will rise. We know people have more dogs etc in home than rural average in past times. However even in times of low resources Indians had culture to give food to both dogs and cow. 1st chapati to cow & last one to dog.

- Chandaal people will live in cities and wise people will live away from the cities. Chandaal are the people who have no understanding of what to eat and don't have any good skills. They eat anything from dogs to other weird things.

- 2yr old cattles will be exploited for work etc. This is about animal abuse and cruelty by humans for maximum possible benefits. We can see this happening in slaughter houses etc businesses.

- Skand puran says actors/(नट) will be more valuable to humans than real activists.

- People will be ok with who are 99% bad but 1% good but will hate 99% good but only 1% bad. Unforgiving attitude i.e. no acceptance of fact that nothing is perfect meanwhile accepting the worse as normal!. (Read this probably in Ling puran. Can't remember right now).

- Climate will get disturbed and rain will be irregular. Some places will face extreme cold and some places will face extreme hot. Stones (heavy ice pieces?) will fall from rain.

- "Prithvi vasundharaheen ho jaegi". Earth will become severely polluted/damaged, will have reduced life quality. This will make creatures on Planet very weak in strength. I think the vayu balance will also get damaged. Vayu balance means the balance of various energy fields like magnetic field, electric field, gravitation field etc.

- Humans will be adharmic in nature and will easily tend towards bad karma and compromise.

- Most people will be money minded. Will think of business everywhere even if business is not their skill or interest. One such example is buying selling lands, house etc.

- Health and beauty will fall. Females will be having hairs as only good quality body part. It means skin quality will fall early-stage in life than what it had remained in past 1000+ years.

- "Naari maya rachne wali hongi" - women will use too much beautification. 

- Only wife will remain as someone to trust, care etc. Means relationship will degrade and only few people will be worthy of bondage and care.

- Special sign of yugant kaal is more women than men. I don't know if it means actual population ratio or ratio of men women in workplace etc. If this is about population then birth rate of females will increase and death rate of males will increase.

- Pooja path, rituals which are not mentioned anywhere in dharma will be done every home.

- People will think of themselves highly knowledged and will act according to it.

- Even very little achievement will make humans egotistic.

- Brahmins will eat what shouldn't be eaten and will to rituals for the non deserving adharmic people just for money.

- The teertha sthals (pilgrimage) will indulge in business and just money making.

- Age of humans will reduce to 30. They will become very weak due to various illness.

- Many people will be autistic or mentally weak. Lots of humans will posses wasteful stuff and will have worse mentality and will die in short time.

- Even hard to understand topics will become easily understandable in kaliyuga. Or hard to get knowledge will be easily accessible. Computer, Simulation, internet etc?

- None will study or learn for knowledge.

- All the 10 directions(4 directions + 4 cross directions + up + down) will be flipped. I think they are talking about shifting/flipping of Earth's energy fields like magnetic field etc or Earth having shakes, tremors etc which can be assumed to feel like directions have lost their meanings.

- People will excessively think and desire of sex etc.

- Bad people, kings (or countries) will destroy each other.

- Extreme weather and big wars will happen.

- Tonned milk (fat extracted milk) will be the standard.

- Cow's ability to produce milk will fall. Due to illness, no food etc reasons.

- Even those living in the forest will suffer from heavy taxes.

- Most people will loose almost all of their wealth just in construction of house.

- More such predictions about fall of humanity are there. More prediction of portable packaged food etc is mentioned in many other purans.

- Skand puran also says most of world will be "Left" (communism?) doninated.

- Women will abandon men who lack money. After this phase kaliyug will proceed further and will cause health issues to women. By this time men will abandon Women with poor health and probably beauty also.

- When end of yugantkaal will reach situation will become so worse that most humans will die, fall ill and would be in bad situation to even eat barely fresh food. They will be forced to eat raw kandmool.

- Lots are also mentioned but i haven't collected screenshots of most.

 It simply means what humans have forced upon animals will be their state. Drink polluted, eat polluted, hurt each other at scale of insanity. Lust of money etc will reach maximum. But this is the nature of life. Everything has to die, become ugly at end. Same is the fate of life on Earth. But after this the new flipped Yuga cycle will begin. Means Earth will move towards dwapar yuga and things will become good the way they become bad.

Clean energy will rise, spirituality will rise. Humans will come to know death is not the end and life exists beyond Earth and this whole universes is full of life and like a family. Intergalactic civilization is already in existence however not everyone can know it easily.

More is there to write but after edits or in new articles.
