India as a nation has many states, to be precise 28 states & 8 UT. Off late personally I see many posts across SM that Modi Failed and has to be brought to his knees for having proven unsuccessful.

I request people to understand this toxic narrow-mindedness agenda to overthrow the Hinduist Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government from the power of this country at any cost.

Why out of 28 states we have deaths only in Non-BJP Ruled States? We have the ruling govt. from Maharashtra quoting they had wasted around 5.5 lakhs dose of vaccines and keeping that in mind yesterday ,

the shocking & treacherous truth was exposed in the court that Kejriwal government kept hiding 52000 doses of remdesivir injection and kept talking about only 2500 injections. But the truth came out in court.

Also, Kejri government closed the factory which supply x500-cylinder oxygen daily in Delhi, which is craving for a single drop of oxygen, without any reason’s

SOME OF THE MAJOR KINGS OF SOUTHERN INDIA

A 🧵 u must read

1. Pazhassi Raja

Pazhassi Raja is one of the first freedom fighters of our mother land and I think he is one of the most underrated one.

His battle against the British is the stuff of legends.

1/20

So much so that he was called the lion of Kerala ( Kerala Simham)

Pazhassi Raja aimed to preserve the independence and unity of his kingdom while the British were determined to annex and dismember it.

2/20

His own desire for independence and sense of betrayal by English on their earlier promise to respect his country’s independence.

He was perhaps one of the only single kings who went toe to toe against the largest and richest empires of the world at that time.

3/20

The English force depleted at almost 80% during the war against the Lion of Kerala.

Estimates say that the British had around 15000 troops as a conservative number while Pazhassi Raja had around 3000 with no fortifications like castles.

4/20

And he still gave the British a run for its money for more than 10 years.

Ambedkar’s hatered for #Hindus

“You #Malyalis have done the greatest harm to this country. You sent #SHANKARACHARYA a dedicated expert at logic, on a walking tour (padayatra) to the north to drive away #BUDDHISM from this country.”

- B R AMBEDKAR

AMBEDKAR didn’t even think twice before dishonoring Bhagwaan Shree Ram & building false narrative.

He said, "Maharishi Bharadwaj assembled a few fattened calves for Shri Ram to be slaughtered for feast. So Ram & Laxman were fed with Calve’s Flesh (Veal)."

Valmiki Ramayana doesn’t have any verse as he claimed.

In Ayodhya Kand, Maharshi Valmiki says that, "Maharishi Bharadwaj offered different types of fruits (Kand, Mool), Juices, etc. to Bhagwaan Shree Ram."

So y'all can imagine the level of hatered #Ambedkar had for #Hindus

The One who took avataram of Mathsyam, Koormam, Narasimham, Vaamanam, three
Ramams (Parasu Raman, Bala Raman, Kothanda Raman), Krishnan, and Kalki et

where the swans (male and females) jointly swim on the red lotus flowers, climb to the bank of the river and drop the powders stuck on their
bodies on the flower bed on land.

Along with His appearance, the krupa roopi PiraaTTi (the embodiment of daya-

Science behind Gowtram Genetics - Do you know why every time you sit in a puja the priest asks you for Gowtra? What is Gowtram system? Why do we have this? Why do we consider this to decide marriages? Why should sons carry the gowtram of father, why not daughter?

How/why does gowtra of a daughter change after she gets married? What is the logic? In fact this is an amazing genetic science we follow.
Let's see the science of genetics behind gowtra systems.
The word GOWTRA formed from two Sanskrit words GAU (means cow) Trahi (means shed)

Gowtra means cowshed. Gowtra is like cowshed protecting a particular male lineage.
We identify our male lineage/gowtra by considering to be descendants of the 8 great MahaRishis (Saptarishis + Bharadwaja MahaRishi). All the other gowtras were evolved from these only.

Biologically, human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes (1 from father & 1 from mother) on these 23 pairs, there is one pair called sex chromosomes which decides the gender of person. During conception if the resultant cell is XX chromosomes then the child will be girl,

if it is XY then it is boy. In XY - X is frm mother & Y is frm father. In this Y is unique & it doesn't mix. So in XY, Y will suppress the X & son will get Y chromosomes. Y is the only chromosome which gets passed down only between male lineage. (Father to Son & to Grandson)

Pandit Rameshwar Nath Kao (Kashmiri Hindu)- The Czar of India's Counter Intelligence

A 🧵

In modern times, a well organized intelligence net work is a must for any country for maintaining its internal security and for properly protecting it from foreign aggression.

1/12

After the massive Chinese aggression in 1962, a need was felt to have an agency to gather foreign intelligence so that our nation should not be caught unawares in future about any such misadventure by our neighbouring countries.

2/12

The man who gave a concrete shape to this idea with solid foundation was Pt. Rameshwar Nath Kao, popularly known as Ramji among his friends and colleagues.

3/12

R.N. Kao started his career by joining the Imperial Police in 1940. Kao’s first assignment as the assistant superintendent of police was to provide VVIP security and he was direct incharge of the security ring of Jawahar Lal Nehru.

4/12

Due to the failures of Sino-Indo war, This was the guy handpicked by Indira Gandhi to start R&AW (Research & Analysis Wing) in 1968. Kao spent nine years as the founder of RAW (1968–77).

1971 Indo-Pak War had two wings, intelligence and army.

Statue of Equality (Ramanuja) Muchintal, Hyderabad, Telangana

The Statue of Equality is a monument in India dedicated to the 11th-century Vaishnavaite Sage Bhagavad Ramanuja, commemorating 1000 years since his birth. It was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji in 2019.

In 2014, Sri Chinna Jeeyar came up with the idea to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Sri Ramanuja's teachings by building the Statue of Equality. The statue is constructed on an estimated 34 acres in Hyderabad, India.

It consists of a 216 foot tall statue of Ramanuja and is surrounded by 108 Divyadesams (model temples) and includes an educational gallery. The project budget is 1000 crore rupees.The foundation stone for the Statue of Equality was laid by Chinna Jeeyar.

The statue was built by Aerosun Corporation in China before being shipped to India. It is made of panchaloha, a combination of gold, silver, copper, brass and titanium. The statue relies on donations to fund its construction.

The temple is located on the 27,870 square metre second floor with a 120 kg statue of Ramanuja, representing the years he lived, meant for daily worship. The 1,365 square metre third floor including a Vedic digital library and research center.

Bhitargaon Temple, Kanpur, U.P.

Bhitargaon Temple was Built in the 5th century during the Gupta period.

It is the oldest remaining brick/terracotta Hindu shrine with a roof and a high shikhara.

Its upper chamber did sustain some damage in the 18th century.

These are some rare pics of 1857 & 1875.

The temple is built on a square plan with double-recessed corners and faces east. There is a tall pyramidal spire over the garbhagriha.

The walls are decorated with terracotta panels depicting, Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.

Good that this temple is still here otherwise pissfuls would have claimed bricks were invented by Mughals, also known as invaders.

Why do we light a lamp?

Close to every Indian home a lamp is ignited daily before the altar of the God. In some houses it is lit at dawn, in some, twice a day – at dawn and dusk – and in a few it is maintained endlessly - Akhanda Deepa.

@AhamPricchami @varshaparmar6

All auspicious functions begin with the lighting of the lamp, is often maintained right through the occasion.

Light symbolises knowledge, and darkness - ignorance. The God is the "Knowledge Principle" (Chaitanya) who is the source, the invigorator and the illuminator of all knowledge. Hence light is worshiped as the God himself.

Knowledge removes ignorance just as light removes darkness. Also, knowledge is a lasting inner wealth by which all outer achievement can be accomplished. Hence, we light the lamp to bow down to knowledge as the greatest of all forms of wealth.

Why not light a bulb or tube light? That too would remove darkness. But the traditional oil lamp has a further spiritual significance. The oil or ghee in the lamp symbolises our vaasanas or negative tendencies and the wick, the ego.

प्राचीन काल में गाधि नामक एक राजा थे।उनकी सत्यवती नाम की एक पुत्री थी।राजा गाधि ने अपनी पुत्री का विवाह महर्षि भृगु के पुत्र से करवा दिया।महर्षि भृगु इस विवाह से बहुत प्रसन्न हुए और उन्होने अपनी पुत्रवधु को आशीर्वाद देकर उसे कोई भी वर मांगने को कहा।

सत्यवती ने महर्षि भृगु से अपने तथा अपनी माता के लिए पुत्र का वरदान मांगा।ये जानकर महर्षि भृगु ने यज्ञ किया और तत्पश्चात सत्यवती और उसकी माता को अलग-अलग प्रकार के दो चरू (यज्ञ के लिए पकाया हुआ अन्न) दिए और कहा कि ऋतु स्नान के बाद तुम्हारी माता पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर पीपल का आलिंगन...

...करें और तुम भी पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर गूलर वृक्ष का आलिंगन करना। आलिंगन करने के बाद चरू का सेवन करना, इससे तुम दोनो को पुत्र प्राप्ति होगी।परंतु मां बेटी के चरू आपस में बदल जाते हैं और ये महर्षि भृगु अपनी दिव्य दृष्टि से देख लेते हैं।

भृगु ऋषि सत्यवती से कहते हैं,"पुत्री तुम्हारा और तुम्हारी माता ने एक दुसरे के चरू खा लिए हैं।इस कारण तुम्हारा पुत्र ब्राह्मण होते हुए भी क्षत्रिय सा आचरण करेगा और तुम्हारी माता का पुत्र क्षत्रिय होकर भी ब्राह्मण सा आचरण करेगा।"
इस पर सत्यवती ने भृगु ऋषि से बड़ी विनती की।

सत्यवती ने कहा,"मुझे आशीर्वाद दें कि मेरा पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करे।"तब महर्षि ने उसे ये आशीर्वाद दे दिया कि उसका पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करेगा किन्तु उसका पौत्र क्षत्रियों सा व्यवहार करेगा। सत्यवती का एक पुत्र हुआ जिसका नाम जम्दाग्नि था जो सप्त ऋषियों में से एक हैं।

Sir M. Visvesvaraya - The Man behind Hindustan Aeronautics Limited

From Aden to Hyderabad, Sir MV's civil engineering contributions are spread across the country and abroad.

Contrary to the popular belief, the main reason behind Bengaluru's rise to fame as the scientific & high-tech industrial hub is not really the climate, but mainly the strategic planning & tireless efforts by visionaries, who had long ago realized the importance of education &

role of industries in overall prosperity. One such example is that of the establishment of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in which Sir M Visvesvaraya had played a crucial role, and how his efforts helped the city become the hub for aerospace research.

Way back in the mid 1930s, Sir M Visvesvaraya (Sir MV) had undertaken an extensive industrial tour to Europe & USA (at his personal expense) and soon after his return, came up with detailed proposals on setting up modern industries including automobile & aircraft factories in 🇮🇳

As expected, the British Govt immediately rejected all his proposals, but Sir MV was hopeful and started preparing the groundwork so that he wouldn't waste any time when opportunity would knock at the door in future.

Amongst the twenty-four Ekadashi’s of a year, Varuthini Ekadashi falls on the eleventh day of dark fortnight Krishna Paksha of the month of Vaisakha (April-May).

FIRST INDIAN COMPANY THAT STARTED TO DEVELOP & MANUFACTURE THE VACCINE PRODUCTS

A 🧵

Inspired by the Swadeshi revolution of the early 20th century, a young boy named Narendranath Dutta decided to dedicate his life for the national cause, but didn't know where to start.

1/14

Despite being born & brought up in a very poor family, he had great human values (He was the son of a Sanskrit teacher), and by the time he finished schooling, he had realized the importance of healthcare and its role in national development.

2/14

That's how he chose to pursue his higher education in medicine, and thanks to his hard work, he had managed to secure a medical seat with scholarship.

3/14

But the scholarship was only for the college fees, which forced him to explore additional income in the form of part-time jobs apart from his full time study.

4/14

Such was his humility that he actually agreed to work as a coolie at a nearby shipyard every night, and by sunrise, he would be back in the hostel to freshen up, and spend the whole day attending medical college.

Legend of venkateshwara:

Ramanuja asked ananthazhwar to raise a flower garden for lord tirumala hill. Ananthazhwar abided by the request and went upon raising a garden. He took the help of his pregnant wife who found it difficult to do the manual labor from time.

Lord venkateswara having seen the trouble of the lady assumed form of a young lad and helped her out. On one occasion wen this came to the notice of Ananthazhwar later was furious and he hit the lad with a crowbar.

The lad(small boy)disappeared out wen Ananthazhwar visited the god in tirumala, he found lord was bleeding from the chin,the realised that it was lord who had helped his wife and regretted his behaviour.

He applied raw camphor (karpuram)from the wound. Lord venkateswara was impressed with Ananthazhwars devotion and not only forgave him but also told him that he would display the raw camphor forever as a mark of lords chin to this day during the rituals.

Even today u can see ananthazhwans crowbar wen u enter the temple hanging on right side.

Rani Chennamma of Kittur was one of the first women rulers of India who fought against the might of the British Empire in 1824. Rani Chennamma was born in 1778 in a small village of Kakati in Belgaon distt of the State of Karnataka.

She was born into the Lingayat Community to a man named Dhulappa Desai. From a very young age she was trained in horse riding,sword fighting, archery and diplomacy. At a very young age of 15 yrs, she was married to the King of Kittur and became the Queen of Kittur.

It is said that King of Kittur Mallasarja was once moving around in the neighbouring kingdoms to find support to fight Tipu Sultan. It is then, when he came across Chennamma and he immediately got attracted to her sheer confidence and bravery.

Rani Chennamma and King Mallasarja had a son together who died very soon after the death of King Mallasarja in 1816. As the Queen of Kittur, Rani Chennamma immediately adopted Shivalingappa as her son and declared him the heir to the throne of Kittur.

This did not go well with the British East India Company who was enforcing the Doctrine of Lapse those days, according to which the adopted children of the Indian rulers were not allowed to become their heirs and if the native rulers did not have children of their own, their...

Pai was disappointed when the participants couldn’t name the mother of Hindu god Ram. His disappointment only increased when one of them answered a toughie about a Greek god. And that was the moment Amar Chitra Katha (ACK) was born.

KRISHNA ELLA - THE MAN BEHIND COVAXIN

This whole article is written by Dev Kumar Sir.

On the border between Tamilnadu and erstwhile Andhra , lies the temple town of Thiruthani, one of the six famed abodes of Lord Muruga. Krishnamurthy Ella was born in 1969,

in an agricultural family to middle class parents. No one could have imagined his trajectory.

Perhaps because of his background, Krishna wanted to study agriculture. His father wasn’t pleased - he told his son “Nobody becomes a farmer by just studying agriculture” .

Unfazed, Krishna joined University of Agricultural sciences in Bangalore. His passion and hardwork earned him a gold medal. Unlike “ordinary” gold medalists, he wasn’t content to get a job.

Nevertheless he supported himself after undergrad by working briefly in the agricultural division of Bayer Pharma. He longed for more. He got a rotary scholarship which enabled him to move to the US, to do his PhD in University of Wisconsin.

The scholarship was the wind under his wings. There was no looking back.

His speciality was molecular biology.

While in the US, he met Suchitra, an economics graduate and married her.

Average Indians in US would dream of a green card for themselves.

UNKNOWN EVENTS OF INDIA

How Egypt helped Bharat to recapture back Goa from the Portuguese in 1961 and end the European colonial stronghold in Goa

Dec 1961 : When India blitzed Portuguese-held Goa, both USA & Portugal moved a ceasefire resolution in the United Nations (UN)

The Soviets used the power of VETO against the resolution and Egypt blocked the Portuguese Navy at Suez Canal.

Why??

Using the 'Bay of Pigs' incident as a perfect smokescreen, India planned to take back Goa from Portugal.

Portuguese Prime Minister Salazar was furious and he ordered the Portuguese soldiers in Goa to fight to the last man. The Portuguese soldiers started planting mines in Goa.

Salazar then dispatched the Portuguese Navy towards India.

Salazar's plan was simple.

If the Portuguese Navy crossed the Suez canal & engaged in a small skirmish with the Indian Navy, then the NATO forces could be called for help. (Since Portugal was a founding member of NATO)

1) Under the terms of the 1899 Anglo-Portuguese Treaty, Britain was obliged to come to Lisbon’s assistance if any Portuguese colony was attacked.

2) Article 5 of NATO states that an attack on one member of NATO is an attack on all of its members
