Other aspects of Sandhyavandanam:
When a person does a job wholeheartedly, we say that the person does the activity holding his breath. As a matter of fact argayam to be offered holding one's breath.If we do this everyday all evil forces will be 1/4

Charity--Intrinsic benefits of service:
Creating confidence in all sections that they can continue to be in our religion with self respect is through public service which is to be rendered by everyone coming together.I will talk about those /1

services later. Like this all Hindus coming together & undertaking services itself become them fencing for our religion & will ensure it is not a public land.Since all sections of the religion will get the feeling that' this is our own religion this situation that anybody /2

outside our religion can claim them as their own will go away. It is not necessary for us to indulge in counter propaganda & create quarrels to take care of the condition of Hindus & ensure that there is no religious conversion.If our negligence & hardness goes & we undergo /3

a change of heart & include all of our people in service to others, religious conversion will stop.This is the peaceful way for protecting the Hindu society & ensuring it remains intact.Instead of helping others keeping religion as the ulterior motive,we should do it as /4

fulfillment of love & side by side protect our religion.More than offering ceremonial welcome & garlanding me except if all Hindus come together in rendering service & protect our religion that will be the greatest help you will be doing & best way of extending courtesy to me. /5

Charity--Weekly worship:
As you all aware,I have been repeatedly telling that every place must have an association for weekly worship. The object of this is that once in a week people should all assemble & worship in the temple.People of other /1

religions are doing this on their own without anyone having to tell them. It is because of them visible power of such prayer that they get many things including a new free state.But for us the great was we had commanded all over the world & it keeps decreasing day by day. /2

It is only in the thought that only if our people come together at least one day in a week forgetting their crookedness & dissolve their minds in Bhagwan something good will happen to this country.I have been asking people to organise weekly worship groups & this has been /3

followed in many places.These people should themselves take up the public service about which I talked.There is no need for separate organisation. The Thiruppavai, Thiruvempavai group in Mayavaram is carrying out several activities like this on a planned basis.The main 4/

objective of the group is to conduct conferences on these two paavais,distribute free to school children books on this paavais, conduct test for them in these and award prizes in them. /5

Marriage is for practice of Dharma only:
It is not possible for all to become Sanyasi in this world .The sastras extol Grahasthashramam as the backbone of the society since they are expected to live as per Dharma and fulfill the needs of the 1/

brahmachari and Sanyasi. After completing Once brahmacharyam by acquiring and learning good qualities one must marry to perform karm anushtanams. Marriage is included among the Forty samskaras meaning it is also a sacred rite in purifying the Jivan. Just as upanayanam is 2/4

preliminary step in brahmacharyam, marriage is a preliminary step in Grahasthashramam in disciplining the senses and the basis for performing various dharmic duties. Not only practicing worldly matters as per the Dharma, the sastras of grahasthasramam is done in such a 3/

that desire of kama is also fulfilled as per Dharma. Dharma means not exceeding anything but controlling it as per the limit is'not? Same way controlling once sensual pleasure and fulfilling once desire through marriage is known as practicing Dharma in kama. 4/4

The power of Gayatri Mantra:
Those who left Gayathri japam for three generations cease to be Brahmins. Then the street where they live cannot be an agraharam.Same way if yagnas were not performed for three generations they are dhur brahmins, 1/5

de generated brahmins . Though degenerated still the label of Brahmin sticks to them. There are prayaschithams available to regain the status of Brahmin. But if Gayatri japam is given up by three generations then he completely looses the status of Brahmin. He again cannot 2/5

become a Brahmin .He is just a Brahmana Bandhu. That is having Brahmins as relatives .Same way Kshatriya gives up Gayathri japam he becomes Kshatriya _Bandhu.Vysyas becomes Vysya Bandhu.Hence the spark of Gayatri must be developed into a fire .Even though spark by itself 3/5

may not serve any purpose but it has a potential to become big and being useful. Hence at least on Sunday people should chant Gayatri thousand times .Should not eat unclean food at unclean places .Should do prayaschitham for the lapses did so far. Hence forth must take 4/5

care by not taking unclean food and ensure that their body is kept cleaned to retain the power of Mantras.5/5

Meaning of samskara:
After Pralayam unification will happen. Hence efforts to be made to reach there .The sages have laid down forty samskaras and 8 athma gunas for this purpose. When it is said as athma guna and purifying atma through 1/5

Samskaras, it refers to the jivatma as called by dwaithis where jivatma appears to be different than paramatma .ln reality there is only one atma. There is no different atma like jivatma and paramatma .This atma is ever pure .Hence it is wrong to say being purified by 2/5

Samskaras. Atma is nirguna. Therefore calling atma Guna is also wrong. But in reality that nirguna along with Maya has prevented us from knowing that we are that nirguna only . Hence here when atma is referred ,it refers to the jivan as seen by the dualistic principle. 3/5

That atma is impure only . Hence by using Samskaras this has to be purified .This has all dhurgunas. Hence by practicing 8 athma gunas this atma need to be made purified.Once we succeed in this there will be neither any samskaras nor Gunas. There will be an experience of 4/5

self without any difference between jivatma and paramatma. To attain that status only now all the samskaras and the 8 gunas are needed. 5/5

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...

On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.

Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.

This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.

There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.

Starting my 2nd thread on Sringeri Parampara. This will cover the Jagadgurus after Sri Vidyaranya to Sri Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati.

It is really very tough to match the brilliance and achievements of Vidyaranya. After whom came 15 - Chandrashekara Bharati [1386-1389].

The next Acharya was Nrisimha Bharati [1389-1408]. Harihara raya found a town for this Acharya - Narasimhapuram. Acharya helped the king by guiding him in political affairs. He also initiated the kind with mahamantras for spiritual development.

Subsequent Acharyas were
15-Puroshottama Bharati [1408 - 1448]
16-Shankara Bharati[1448 - 1455]
17-Chandrasekhara Bharati II [1455 - 1464]
18- Nrisimha Bharati II [1464 - 1479]
19-Puroshottama Bharati II [1479 - 1517]

20-Ramachandra Bharati [1517 - 1560]. Sadashiva Raya was emporer of Vijayanagara during this time.
21-Nrisimha Bharati III [1560 - 1573]
22-Nrisimha Bharati IV [1573 - 1576]
23-Nrisimha Bharati V [1576 - 1600]

24-Abhinava Nrisimha Bharati [1600-1623]. When he visited Malahanikareswara temple for first time he noticed there was no Vinayaka there so he took piece of turmeric and drew outline of Ganesha on a pillar and offered puja.

I worked in bank liquidity and treasury for the better part of the last decade, and there is one very interesting risk factor from the SVB collapse that I do not think we have ever witnessed before in modern finance, a 🧵:

First, some context. Following the 2008 financial crisis where a massive driver of stress was caused by low quality assets littering the balance sheets of massive institutions, the regulators sought to create a framework to ensure all banks were verifiably sound.

This meant forcing Federally registered banks to conform to capital and liquidity ratios. If they did not comply, they would not be allowed to issue dividends or buy back stocks, hurting the value of their enterprise.

There was the introduction of the concept of RWA, or risk weighted assets. A simple way to think of these ratios is, the riskier your asset base on a weighted basis, the more high quality capital (think cash) you would need to hold to stay in compliance.

Not only were banks required to regularly be in compliance with these ratios as a going concern, but needed to prove they could maintain certain limits when met with a time of stress across a number of incrementally adverse scenarios.

Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. 😂

Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,

OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
📌
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
📌

Now, indulge me to ask you these simple questions.
📍
When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in our lives?

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

#We monitor our performances at work and those of our subordinates...

#We monitor our health,
