Flamingos

Thousands of flamingos migrate to Mumbai every year between the months of October & March before flying out around June.

They arrive from the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat and Sambhar Lake in Rajasthan, some even from Iran and Israel.

A census by the Bombay Natural History Society in January 2019 had counted 1,21,000  flamingos in Mumbai then.

Besides the Navi Mumbai creek, environmentalists have noticed a huge flock of flamingos at Thane Creek, Uran, Panju Island and Vasai, as well.

One major problem is obviously the destruction of wetlands. This thread isn't about that.

From around 2016 onwards, the local fishermen started spotting injured and wounded flamingos mainly in the parts of Uran, ( Raigad) and Palghar (infamously famous).

Flamingos with broken legs, broken body parts, clipped wings, etc. The aim is to make them handicapped. Once they become handicapped, it's easy to capture them and sell their meat. They are considered to be a great delicacy.

And most of these are killed and sold as 'special chicken meat'.

Flamingos are our guests and in India, we believe in अतिथि देवो भवः!

Murlidhar Devidas Amte was the eldest son of Devidas and Laxmibai Amte. His father Devidas was a powerful bureaucrat with the pre-independence British administration and a wealthy landowner in the Wardha district.

Being the first child of an affluent family, Muralidhar was never denied a single thing by his parents since childhood.

His parents lovingly called him ‘Baba’ and the name stuck with him. At a very young age, Baba owned a gun and used to hunt wild boar and deer.

Later, he went on to own an expensive sports car, cushioned with panther skin.

Baba studied law and earned his LLB degree from Law College in Wardha. He set up a law practice in his native town which soon became successful.

One day, he stumbled upon a a bundle of rags which was moving. On closer inspection, he was a human in his last stage of leprosy. Rotting mass of human flesh, only holes instead of nostrils, no trace of fingers or toes.

At first, Baba fled in fear; later, he returned, realizing that the only way to mitigate the fear he felt was to replace it with love. It was a turning point in his life.

He had no idea about leprosy and its treatment.

#SnanaJatra

Jagannath Bhagwan symbolises Bhagwan Krishna/Bhagwan Vishnu. He is the Ishtadevta/Kuldevta for many.

After all who's he? Jagannath is a combination of two words - Jagat (world) and nath (Bhagwan/master); in short Bhagwan of the Universe.

He's also known as "Sarbam Rahasyam Purusottamasya” which denotes the origin of Purusottama Jagannath is mysterious and enigmatic.

His black face represents the void and he dwells in Mahashunya.

He's a simple crude wooden idol with two wooden stumps as hands, conspicuous absence of legs with two big round eyes indicating sun and moon emerging from a big black face which symbolizes the Universe. He is worshiped as the Daru-Brahma.

The word Daru is derived from Da-Dukha or sorrow and Ru-to give.

During the #SNANAPURNIMA , 108 copper and gold pots are filled with water from suna kuan (golden well) and kept on the bhoga mandap. These vessels are brought to snana bedi on this day.

This ritual is called Jalad Hibasa. The dieties are first offered red powder, & then taken to #snana bedi, their bodies covered with silk clothes. Pouring of water is accompanied by chanting of Pavamana.

Jassa Singh - The man who rebuilt Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple)

In 1762, Punjab was fighting for freedom. Ahmad Shah Abdali (Durrani) was the karta dharta of Punjab in those days.

1762 was known for Sikh genocide/massacre as 25k - 30k sikhs (expected either 1/3rd or half the population of Sikhs) were slaughtered at Kup.

Ahmad Shah Durrani was part of a long line of conquerors that invaded Punjab since Mahmud of Ghazni in 1001.

Ahmad Shah then marched to Sri Harmandir Sahib & blew it up using gunpowder without leaving a single brick intact.

Too sprinkle salt on their wounds he filled the holy tank with the carcasses of dead cows. (Can Sikhs of today forget this?)

This boosted Ahmad Shah's confidence.

Around Diwali, he decided to finish off the Sikhs at Lahore with his 50000 Afghan soldiers.

The Sikhs were waiting to take revenge. They charged the Afghans with their war cry "Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguruji ki fateh" and forced Ahmad Shah to draw off his army.

Once in 1761, Ahmad Shah was returning triumphant after winning the third battle of Panipat against Marathas. He was taking his booty of 22000 hindu and muslim women to be sold in Afghanistan.

Jassa Singh rescued these women and gallantly escorted them to their families.
