Just before going to “List of interesting (astonishing) facts about Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma) | List of Interesting facts about Lord Sri Vishnu“, let us have some brief information.
Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) is existing since the ‘adi kalam‘ (Grand unknown period) and will stay until the ‘ananta kalam‘ (Grand infinite period).
Lord Sri Vishnu is the founder of this divine and grand Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
No one knows since when Lord Sri Vishnu is existing. Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) is as old as Lord Sri Vishnu himself.
Note : In this post wherever Lord Sri Vishnu name is used, that also means:
Lord Sri Hari or Lord Sri Narayana or Lord Sri Krishna or Lord Sri Rama or any avatar(s) of Lord Sri Vishnu.
Firstly Lord Sri Vishnu with the prayers Goddess of Sri Lakshmi Devi created Lord Sri Brahma Deva from his ‘nabhi‘ (Divine navel).
Later, Lord Sri Brahma Deva created several ‘manasa putras‘ (Divine children from his mind) including Lord Shiva.
Then Brahmanda (Universe) and others planetary things were created by Lord Sri Brahma Deva as per the instructions by Lord Sri Vishnu.
Thus the creation started. After every Kalpa, a new Lord Sri Brahma Deva is created by Lord Sri Vishnu.
Thus, again the new Lord Sri Brahma Deva will create all the new planetary and related items in each Kalpa.
Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) is a cyclic way of existing and there is nothing like end like Qayamat or Great Tribulation time in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
Now, let us know what is the correct meaning of ‘Aham Brahmasmi’:
Here ‘Aham’ means ‘I am’ and ‘Brahma’ means ‘Parabrahma / Bhagavan / God’ and ‘asmi’ means ‘yes’.
This means Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) himself is telling that “I the Parabrahma” (God).
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) knows anything and everything and He is inside everybody and everything as antaryami (Divine presence).
But everybody and everything is not Him. Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is known as “antaryami”.
This is because, Lord Sri Vishnu is present inside anything and everything, but anything and everything is not “Parabrahma / Lord Sri Hari / Lord Sri Vishnu”.
But few people have understood the meaning of this in an opposite way.
These people think themselves as “Parabrahma”, means they think everybody can become “Parabrahma” which is a pure stupidity.
Sanatana Dharma is existing since known age and no one knows the date time frame of the starting point of the Hinduism / Sanatana Dharma.
As per Hindu granthas (divine books), just one Kali Yuga has a total time span of 4,32,000 years.
Similarly one Dvapara Yuga has a total time span = 2 * Kali Yuga = 2 * 4,32,000 = 8,64,000 years.
Likewise, one Treta Yuga has a total time span = 3 * Kali Yuga = 3 * 4,32,000 = 12,96,000 years.
Thus, one Satya Yuga / Krita Yuga has a total time span = 4 * Kali Yuga = 4 * 4,32,000 = 17,28,000 years.
Total of the above, that is, Kali Yuga + Dvapara Yuga + Treta Yuga + Satya Yuga = One Maha Yuga = 43,20,000 years.
Unlimited number of Maha Yugas has passed until date.
For more information on the “Hindu measurement of time“, you can visit this below link:
Even Brahma Deva has a life span. That is, after one Maha Kalpa, Lord Sri Vishnu changes Brahma Deva also.
We should note that Brahma Deva is a padavi (rank / position) and not the name of that Devata (Demigod).
After that Lord Sri Brahma Deva completes his 100 years as per his planet (Satya Loka planet),
he will be changed and a new Lord Sri Brahma Deva will start his duty as per the instructions of Lord Sri Vishnu.
To know “Who is next Brahma Deva” and other details, you can visit this below link:
Similarly Goddess Sri Sarasvati Devi, Lord Sri Rudra Deva (Lord Shiva), Goddess Sri Parvati Devi, Lord Sri Indra Deva, Lord Sri Surya Deva, etc. will be changed as per the time frame.
Only Lord Sri Vishnu and Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi doesn’t changes.
In that Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi is completely dependent on Lord Sri Vishnu, as only Lord Sri Vishnu is the ‘Sarvottama’ (Supreme).
Draupadi Devi is the amalgamation of five divine women and not a single entity:
Draupadi Devi = Goddess Sri Bharati Devi + Goddess Sri Parvati Devi + Goddess Sri Sachi Devi + Goddess Sri Shyamala Devi + Goddess Sri Usha Devi.
As said, Draupadi Devi is the amalgamation of these five divine women (Devis).
Goddess Sri Bharati Devi is the consort of Sri Vayu Deva (Bhima).
Goddess Sri Parvati Devi is the consort of Lord Shiva.
Goddess Sri Sachi Devi is the consort of Lord Sri Indra Deva (Arjuna).
Goddess Sri Shyamala Devi is the consort of Lord Sri Yama Deva (Yudhishthira).
Goddess Sri Usha Devi is the consort of Lord Sri Ashwini Kumars (Nakula & Sahadeva) (Originally they are called as Nasatya and Dasra).

Drona takes birth from a pot (Drona). In Sanskrit, Drona means a pot. His father was Maharishi Bharadwaja.
Drona or Dronacharya was an avatar of Bhrihaspati (Guru of the Devatas / Demigods).
Drona or Dronacharya’s son Ashwattama was an avatar of Lord Shiva.

Meaning of Veda Vyasa:
Lord (Sage) Sri Veda Vyasa Ji is an avatar of Lord Sri Vishnu.
Name ‘VedaVyasa‘ means, Veda + Vyasa = Vedas + dividing. He is the one who divied all the Hindu granthas (divine books) like Vedas, Puranas etc.
This is done as the people of Kali Yuga are most less knowledgeable people and don’t have the capability to understand the Hindu granthas easily.
Thus Lord (Sage) Sri Vedavyasa Ji has divided the granthas and given us in more simpler way, so that the people of Kali Yuga should be able to understand all the Hindu Texts.
Another meaning of ‘Vyasa‘ in Sanskrit is diameter.
Sanskrit is the root, mother of all languages and the most amazing language on earth:
Sanskrit’s correct pronunciation is ‘Samskrutam or Samskruta‘.
Sanskrit is the bhasha / language known as ‘Devanagari‘, means, this language is spoken by all the Devatas (Demigods) and Lord Sri Vishnu himself.
Here Devanagari = Deva + nagari = Devatas (Demigods) + place. This is the language spoken in the place where Devatas (Demigods) live.
Sanskrit is existing since unknown age. This bhasha / language has the same age as ‘Hindu Sanatana Dharma‘ and no one is aware of the exact age of this language.
Sanskrit is the base and root language of all the languages around the world.
In every language Sanskrit is either directly involved or indirectly involved.
Sanskrit’s words are not just words, these form a whole sentence. Every alphabet in Sanskrit is a word.
For example – Mahabharata = Maha + bharata = Great + Bharata.
Another example – Ramayana = Rama + ayana = Rama + staying.
In Hinduism there is only one Bhagavan / God.
It is only in the modern days people have started to give that Hinduism is not monotheist, but rather it is polytheist.
This is the creation by the Europeans who had came to India and who imagined themselves that they were ruling our country for around 300 years or so.
But they were never were able to rule the great ‘Bharata Varsha‘ (India). It was only their imagination.
In Hinduism, there is only Bhagavan (God), that is, Bhagavan Lord Sri Vishnu is the Bhagavan (God) and all others are his family members.
Starting from Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi, Lord Sri Brahma Deva, Goddess Sri Sarasvati Devi, Lord Sri Rudra Deva (Lord Shiva),
Goddess Sri Parvati Devi, Lord Sri Indra Deva, Lord Sri Surya Deva, etc. all follow Lord Sri Vishnu’s instructions and are called as Devatas / Demigods.
