Thief of Joy!

Received this story on WA, do read it full and let me know if you experienced this in life.

I was Cycling this morning and I noticed a person about half a km ahead.

I could guess he was Cycling a little slower than me and...

If anyone believes tht Cong is out of pic in Indian polity, cos they have no presence in many states, then you're being naive.

A party, which has been in the corridor of powers for more than 70 yrs, cannot be disposed off in mere yrs.

@anexcommie @Kishoreciyer1 @shreekanth2020

Today's #CongressToolKit proves my belief, tht Cong has other things in mind. If they cannot be King, they wanna be Kingmaker.

If they cannot be part of government, they merely contest to cut into votebank of other parties (which is almost always BJP).

@rspcharya

Congress has, in all these yrs created coteries tht has its tentacles in almost all fields & departments.

Since the time India got independence, Congress has been setting one narrative after another. And ppl have been falling for it, year after year.

@HelloNNewman @rspchary

be it making ppl believe tht it was efforts of MKG and erstwhile Congress tht India got independence. Or tht it's MKG, Nehru and after him, his family is wht makes Congress.

Be it calling Indira is India or Sonia as 'mother of India'.

@JumbuTweeple

Does it really surprise us, tht they have yet again devised #toolkit to set a narrative?

But credit to them where it's due, they identified Modiji as a potential thorn on their side as early as 2002. And there again they set a narrative.

@SriRamya21 @RajeAiyer

First, let me start by wishing everyone a very Happy Onam.

On this auspicious occasion, let me introduce you all to one of the prominent temples in Vaishnava belief. We're gonna look at Trivikrama (‘Conqueror of Three Worlds’) temple in Thirukovilur town in Villipuram district.

Bhagwan in this temple is also known as ‘Ulagalantha Perumal’ (one who measured the worlds).

This temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams and has third tallest Gopuram in the state, first and second being SriRangam and Srivilliputthur respectively. @RajiIndustani @wataboutery

The temple is believed to have been built by the Medieval Cholas, with later contributions from Vijayanagar kings and Madurai Nayaks. Moolavar here is said to be made of ‘Tharu-wood’ and said to be the tallest vigraha in country (not sure about this).

@HelloNNewman @desi_thug1

It is mostly in Shiva temples that we see Mother Vishnu Durga in the prakaras. Deities other than Vishnu and Vishnu tattvas are not generally seen in Vaishanava temples. In Thirukkovilur temple, Lord and His beloved sister Durga (maya form of Lord Vishnu) are in shrines nearby.

Of the Pancha Krishna sthalas or five great temples of Lord Krishna, Thriukkovilur is the first. The others are: 2) Tirukannapuram, 3) Tirukannangudi, 4) Tirukannamangai and 5) Kapisthalam. Bhagwan Krishna, made of Saligrama graces the devotees from a shrine on the right side of+

Hello Dear Tweeples! Wishing you all on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and Bhagwān Parashuram Avtaran Diwas!

On this occasion, let's look at one of the imp aspect of humans - EQ (Emotional Quotient).

@anexcommie @shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman @GunduHuDuGa

Am not sure how many of us are aware the vital role EQ plays in shaping us who we're. I read somewhere tht the EQ amongst humans have considerably gone down over yrs while imp is given to IQ.

Let me share a real life story.

@RajeAiyer @SriRamya21 @Speakwithsense1 @wataboutery

A young man in his thirties used to stand on the footpath opposite the famous Tata Cancer Hospital at Mumbai and stare at the crowd in front- fear plainly written upon the faces of the patients standing at death’s door; their relatives with equally grim faces running around...

These sights disturbed him greatly..

Most of the patients were poor people from distant towns. They had no idea whom to meet, or what to do. They had no money for medicines, not even food. The young man, heavily depressed, would return home.

@krithikasivasw @NandiniVenkate3

‘Something should be done for these people’, he would think. He was haunted by the thought day and night.

At last he found a way-

He rented out his own hotel that was doing good business and raised some money.

@rspchary @rsankaras @Kishoreciyer1

Warm wishes, dear Tweeples on #ThiruvalluvarDay and a Happy Maattu Pongal!

Not sure how many of you know, but today is #ThiruvalluvarDay. A day dedicated to Thiruvalluvar (Valluvar) – a Tamizh poet & philosopher.

@HelloNNewman @RajeAiyer

There’s not much information available about Thiruvalluvar, in fact, it is not known whether his name was indeed ‘Thiruvalluvar’. It is believed that he used to live in Mylapore (in Chennai).

@VedicWisdom1 @Mahadevangini

So, why is Thiruvalluvar such a celebrated author? Someone about whom no verifiable information is available, apart from work exalting him. It is because of his work - ‘Tirukkuṟaḷ’ (a collection of couplets on ethics, political and economical matters, and love) is +

@shri_v

+ well known and probably the only non-religious book that has maximum translations (41), though I was able to find list of only 35 languages.

The earliest reference to Thiruvalluvar is found in works called ‘Thiruvalluva Maalai’ (Garland of Thiruvalluvar).

@hathyogi31

This is of utmost significance because this anthology contains fifty-five verses, each written by different poets praising the ancient work of ‘Kural’ and its author ‘Valluvar’. This work is believed to be of poets spanning centuries beginning from around 1st century CE, +

Suprabhātam, dear friends & family!

We often find ourselves in a testing situation and at times feel lost. One of my teachers told me tht only 5% of our worry is caused by actual problem, rest 95% is how we're gonna react. Found this wonderful story tht exemplifies this msg.

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

@anexcommie

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. @shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman @rspchary

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. @wataboutery @RajeAiyer

He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”

“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.

“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” @Bhaktirassagar

EVOLUTION OF CROWNS

The ancient Indian kings called a head crown as a Mukut and it would mostly constitute of a golden ornamental headgear like an oval cap with gems.

Sometimes it would also include a halo circle to show the divinity of the king

1/7

As it was considered that kings were appointment by the gods themselves. Example the kings of mewar considered themselves to be the ‘Diwan of eklingji')

But in most cases very few Mukut with halo effect have been found.

2/7

Samudragupta in the gupta era coin. You can see the helmet like headwear on him.

Till gupta era the solid golden head wear was used in most days of the monarch.

But since the onset of 8th century it reduced in usage and was now used only as a ceremonial headwear.

3/7

Whereas earlier the Maharaja had to wear the mukut whenever his court was in session.

Still mukut was being used prominently for ceremonial activities till recent times.

Maharaj Dahir of Sindh👇

4/7

But as times past the style of headwear also changed.

The kings mostly wore turbans ordained with pearls and gems while rarely anyone wore a true Mukut after 16th century.
