#CopycatChristianity

New thread, replacing my earlier one, and this will now get pinned in my TL. Will also present this as a Tamil thread.

என் பழைய இழைக்கு பதிலாக இப்புது இழையை சமர்ப்பிக்கிறேன் - தமிழிலும் இவ்விழை பதிவு செய்யப்படும்

#CopycatChristianity

I will acknowledge "my" source. Please pardon me if the original source is you - let me know & I will acknowledge you too

யார் மூலம் விவரம் வந்ததோ, அவர் பெயரை இங்கு பதிவிடுவேன். நீங்கள் இவ்விஷயத்திற்கு மூலாதாரம் என்றால், உங்கள் பெயரையும் பதிவு செய்யத் தயார்

#CopycatChristianity

This thread will list out all that Christianity has subsumed within itself

கிறிஸ்துவம் தன்னுள்ளாக்கிக் கொண்ட பற்பல விஷயங்கள் எல்லாம் குறித்து இவ்விழை விவரிக்கும்

#CopycatChristianity

I will group them in lists as convenient

எப்போது சரி என்று படுகிறதோ அப்போது பட்டியலிடுவேன்

#CopycatChristianity

Christianity (X) is a religion of appropriation (ROA), and this thread will demonstrate that it isn't a religion of love (ROL)

கிறிஸ்துவம் ஒரு கபளீகரம் செய்யும் மதம் என்பதை நாம் அறிய வேண்டும் - அது ஒரு நேசத்தின் மதம் இல்லை என்பதை இவ்விழை நிரூபிக்கும்

Good morning Tweeple

This thread (daily with one verse update) is a Yagna of sorts. This will be on the famous Skanda (Kanda) Shashti Kavacham.

Kavacham (Kavach) is a shield - and the recitation of this hymn, daily, is sure to keep the chanter blessed, protected & provided for!

It contains 244 verses, of which the first 4 declare the hymn's benefits & the next 2 are an invocation of protection (kaappu).

Written by Balan Devarayan, a saint about whom much isn't written in Tamil history. But this one hymn carries his name forever, much like Morya!

(குறள் வெண்பா)

துதிப்போர்க்கு வல்வினை போம் துன்பம் போம்

நெஞ்சில் பதிப்போர்க்கு செல்வம் பலித்துக் கதித்தோங்கும்

நிஷ்டையும் கை கூடும் நிமலனருள்

கந்தர் சஷ்டி கவசம் தனை

(காப்பு)

அமரரிடர் தீர வமரம் புரிந்த

குமரனடி நெஞ்சே குறி

Prayer

Thuthiporkku val vinai pom, thunbam pom

Nenjil pathiporkku selvam palithu kadithongum

Nishtayum kai koodum

Nimalar Arul kanthar sashti kavacham thanai

Kaappu … Protection

Amarar idar theera amaram purintha

kumaranadi nenjeh kuri.

For those who pray this hymn (dedicated to Lord Muruga), their insufferable eternal karmic consequences will be wiped off!

Even those intolerable sufferings will vanish!

For those devotees who fervently pray & commit this to memory, riches & spirituality will increase!

I don't owe any farmers anything.

They didn't give me anything free

They make me pay their full costs plus middlemen margins

They are stupid enough NOT to get out of middlemen clutches

They believe/d they were my Annadatas

OTOH

I pay my taxes honestly

I pay my GST for goods I buy

I used to pay inflated and higher-than-GST taxes for all things pre-GST

I don't have room to make black money

Hell

I don't even have a way to do cash transactions

I don't get free water

I don't get free electricity

I don't get free protestors

I don't get free fertilizers

I don't get loan waivers

I don't get loan write-offs

I don't get their-kind-of subsidies

I don't owe farmers anything

I go on to say that they owe me everything

I die as a consumer, they die rotting amidst their produce

I don't have any sympathy for farmers, in addition to what I have for any sincere honest worker in the economy, in fact, much lesser

I don't like farmer-politics

I can't help it if farmers were stupid

I can't help it if farmers won't understand basic market economics

I can't help farmers if they believe they deserve my sympathy, empathy and money

I need relief from these entitled rent seeking parasites

@HelloNNewman @BramhaAham @aparnaAD2 If I can't hire somebody who can replace me, I'm fearfully autocratic or abysmally mediocre

If I don't groom someone to replace me, I'm awfully mortal or painfully paranoid

If I don't surround myself with smarter folks, I'm myself doltfully dufferesque or arrogantly idiotic
