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...

Hello Dear Tweeples,

It’s time of week where I bring you information on one of our Siddhars. Today, we’re gonna look at a Siddhar who was a master astrologer and believed to have hosted the ‘Nava Grahas’. Idaikkadar Siddhar, named after the place he was born ‘Idaikkadu’

Hello Dear Tweeples!

It’s Siddhars time of the week! Last week I shared story of Guru (Machamuni or Yogi Matsyendranath), this week I bring you information on his Shishya.

#Thread on Gorakanathar Siddhar.

@LostTemple7

His origin story is interesting, though I couldn’t verify it’s authenticity, so not sharing the story here. He’s shishya of Machamuni Siddhar and also learnt from Agasthiya Siddhar.

@HelloNNewman @RajiIndustani @Kishoreciyer1

Unlike other Siddhars, he is depicted as either with a Tiger or seated & wearing Tiger skin. While I couldn’t find any explanation for this. My interpretation is as follows:

Tiger is a predator that lurks around and attacks unexpectedly.

Our 5 indriyas and 5 vikitis also similar to Tiger, they lurk around and attacks our thoughts when we’re least expecting. Gorakkar is said to have mastered these aspects, thus to denote this, he shown with Tiger.

@Itishree001 @VarierSangitha @jananisampath

Gorakanathar or Gorakshnath (as he’s known in the Nath Sampraday) is celebrated Guru in both Northern and Southern part of India. He’s one of the NavNath in Nath Sampraday and also 18 Siddhars of Tamil tradition. During his life, he’s travelled Indian subcontinent extensively +

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

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

Pandava Thoothar Perumal (Kanchipuram)

This temple is 49th among the 108 Divya Desams. The temple is approximately 2000 years old, and as per the inscription on Temple walls, Chola King Kulottunga Chola I carried out significant amount of work in rebuilding the temple between +

+ 11th & 12th century CE.

This place was called as Thirupadagam earlier. This is probably only temple in world where Bhagwan Sri Krishna is in the sitting pose at the height of 25 feet.
@RajiIndustani @Kishoreciyer1 @HelloNNewman @devkshetra @sambhashan_in @Krishna_Priiya

Boothath Azhwar, Peyazhwar, Thirumazhisai Azhwar and Thiru  mangai Azhwar were the Azhwars (Vaishnav Saints) who sung about this temple.

As per legend, Sri Krishna went to Kaurava to negotiate on behalf of Pandavas (before Mahabharat war),
@Dharma_Yoddhaa @LostTemple7

thus Bhagwan here is called 'Pandava Thoothar Perumal). King Janemajaya (great grandson of Arjuna) heard story from Sage Vaisampayana about how Sri Krishna showed his Vishwaroopam, when Kaurava tried to humiliate & kill him during His visit as a negotiator (Thoothar).

Sage Vaisampayana advised King Janamejaya (when later wanted to see Bhagwan's Vishwaroopam) to visit Kanchipuram and do penance towards Krishna. It is believed that Sri Krishna appeared before King Janamejaya in 'Pandava Thoothar' form.

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

Please please please take your cyber security seriously even if you don’t consider yourself a high risk person. Here are a few easy things to start with. 1/n

Switch from WhatsApp to Signal and enable disappearing messages. Most of us cannot stop using WhatsApp entirely but at least turn off back ups to Google Drive or iCloud. 2/n

Do not have private conversations using the messaging service on any social media platform like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. 3/n

Switch from Gmail to ProtonMail or any other secure email service provider. 4/n


Switch from Google Docs to CryptPad or RiseUp Pad.

Story of Thumba Poo and Shiva

Thumba poo is a tiny white flower which grows in all areas. These flowers are used for treatment for sinus. Small children who have polyps in Nose are told to crush tumbha leaves and apply in nose part.
There is an interesting story of Thumba and

Mahadeva. Thumba flowers were not taken for Shiva Pooja. Saddened to this Thumba prayed sincerely and Mahadeva appeared before her.
She was surprised that Shiva had appeared before her. Instead of saying that she wants to under his feet always, she said
@SriramKannan77

She said that her feet should be on his head. Shiva accepted her prayers. It is because of this Thumba flower is placed in the head of Shiva Linga.
Shambo Mahadeva
