52. Why Lord Chandra Deva loved his wife Rohini more than other wives?
Answer: Chandra Deva’s wives (Nakshatras) names are as given below:
Ashvini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha, Poorva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Svathi, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyeshta, Moola, Poorvashada, Uttarabhadra, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Poorvabhadra, Uttarabhaadra, Revati.
Among these, Chandra Deva’s most lovable and favorite wife is Rohini.
This is because, Bhagavan Sri Krishna chose this Rohini nakshatra (zodiac sign) to be as his ‘janma nakshatra’ (birth star) and thus, in this nakshatra Bhagavan Sri Krishna was born as per his own wishes.
This is the main reason. Chandra Deva is a great Vaishnava and ardent follower of Bhagavan Vishnu / Sri Krishna. That’s why Chandra Deva loved Rohini more than his other wives.
53. What are the 14 lokas names as per Hinduism?
Answer: As humans doing the right Dharma is the only cure. If we do the right Karma, we may again born as humans. If we do better Karmas, we may get the higher planets like:
Satya loka – This is the place of Sri Chatur Mukha Brahma, where each person’s atman is released from the inevitability of rebirth (but still moksha might not yet received).
Tapa loka – Ayohnija devadasis live here.
Jana loka – The sons of the god Brahma live here.
Mahar loka – Enlightened and ‘jnani’ (knowledgeable) people such as Markandeya live here.
Svar loka (Svarga Loka) – This is the place between the Sun and the Polar Star, the Heaven (Svarga Loka) of the Sri Indra Deva. In English it can be called as Heaven or Paradise, where all the 330 million Hindu Devatas / Demigods live here.
Bhuvar loka (or Pitru loka) – It is the place between Earth and the Sun. Semi-divine beings live here. Sri Surya Deva also live here.
Bhur loka – This is the Mother Earth place.
We the Hindus teach that it is one of billions of inhabited worlds in the universe. This shows the Hindu belief in the multiverses. This is the middle loka of all the 14 lokas.
Similarly if we do Adharma, we may get some other life in our next life, may be an animal or a tree or an insect or we may get to go to lower planets like:
Atala loka – Atala is ruled by Bala, who is a son of Maya. Maya possesses mystical powers.
Vitala loka – Vitala is ruled by the god Hara-Bhava, who is a form of Lord Shiva.
Sutala loka – Sutala is the kingdom of the demon king Bali. After Lord Vamana pushed Bali into deep ground, he was informed to stay in this loka by Lord Vamana.
Talatala loka – Talatala is the realm of Maya. Lord Shiva is also here under the protection of Maya.
Mahatala loka – Mahatala is where many nagas (sarpas / serpents) live.
Rasatala loka – Rasatala is the home of the demons called Danavas and Daityas.
Patala loka (or Naga-loka) – This is the lowest realm. It is the region of the nagas, ruled by Vasuki a King serpent. This is the same serpent which is place around the neck of Lord Shiva.

54. Why Mahakumbh Mela at Prayag is celebrated once in 12 years?
Answer: Since unknown time, we Hindus are celebrating the Great Mahakumbh Mela at Prayag once in every 12 years. This is based on Brahaspati / Guru graha (Planet Jupiter) movement.
Anyone who knows about the movement of Brahaspati / Guru graha (Planet Jupiter) should know that, this graha / planet takes 12 Earth years to complete one full rotation around the Sun and definitely there is influence of this Planet Jupiter on Earth.
Now, let me know who is forward in Science & Technology since unknown time.
