The fact that the Hindu scriptures are open to interpretation and critique is one of their greatest assets. Some of Lord Ram's actions in the Ramayana have been questioned, and some even question if he deserves the reverence and worship he receives.

Sage Valmiki could have easily polished and edited all of Lord Ram's activities that are subject to criticism today and presented him without any so-called defects.

The grandeur of Hindu scriptures is that they do not preach or impose beliefs or views, but rather encourage the reader to analyze, argue, and come to a conclusion.

This is why, after 1000s of years, they are still relevant.

Vidura neeti & Chanakya neeti – It is a comprehensive book of advice to one & all though it’s taken as a dialogue between the Vidura & King Dhritarashtra. As the story in the epic goes, Pandavas claimed their rightful land from their cousins Kauravas on completion of their exile.

King Dhritharashatra sought Vidura’s direction. This collection called as Vidura neethi contains profound insights which he shares with the king while admonishing him to return the kingdom to the Pandavas. 1/11

This would be just and fair. The message and instructions are very useful and meaningful even today. Since it is part of the famous epic Mahabharatha, the text dates back to three thousand years BC.

Much of the stories, narrations, teachings and lessons from this epic though not well documented yet have survived to the test of time. 2 /11

The questions that rose in the mind of the king then are not different today which rises in any ordinary mortal. Strangely the answers given by Mahatma Vidur continue to enlighten us albeit centuries have passed.

"ஸ்ரீ சக்கரம்" என்னும் "ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம்" எம்பெருமான் ஸ்ரீ மகாவிஷ்ணுவின் பிரதான ஆயுதம்!

அவர் தம் வலது திருக்கரத்தில் ஏந்தியுள்ள ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம், பக்தர்களைக் காக்கவும், துஷ்டர்களை அழிக்கவும் செய்கிறது.

"ஸ்ரீ அனந்தன்" என்ற நாகம், கருடன், ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம் - இம்மூவரும் பகவானை ஒரு நொடி கூட பிரியாது அவரைத் தொழும் ‘நித்யசூரிகள்’.

ஸ்ரீ வைகுண்டத்தில் ஸ்ரீ மஹாவிஷ்ணுவின் இருக்கையாகவும், பாற்கடலில் பாம்புப் படுக்கையாகவும், ஆதிசேஷனாக குடையாகவும், நடக்கையில் பாதுகையாகவும் இருப்பவர் அனந்தன்.

பகவான் மனதால் நினைத்தவுடன், நினைத்த இடத்திற்கு அவரைத் தாங்கிச் செல்லும் வாகனமாகவும், அவரது தாஸனாகவும் திகழ்பவர் கருடன்.

"ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனாழ்வார், ஸ்ரீ கருடாழ்வார், ஸ்ரீ அனந்தாழ்வார்" என இவர்கள் மூவர்கள் மட்டுமே, பகவானை ஆட்கொண்டவர்கள் என்பதால் ஏற்பட்ட சிறப்பாகும் - ஆழ்வார் என்ற அடைமொழி.

AKASA GANGA THEERTHAM - Tirumala, Tirupati

Akasa Ganga Teertha, is around 5 km from the Tirumala main temple, the Holy Water comes out as a natural stream between hill rocks.

This sacred water is used for Srivari's daily abhishekam.

Devotees have to climb down the steps to reach this holy stream.

In the olden days, the priests took turns to carry this holy water all the way from this part of jungle to the temple, but, now TTD has laid water lines into the temple and thus simplified the process.

This Holy Teertha is also mentioned in the Vedas.

It is commonly believed that this Akasa Ganga originates from the Lotus feet of the main deity Sri Venkateshwara Swamy in Ananda Nilayam.

AKASA GANGA THEERTHAM STATED IN PURANAS:-

On the day the Lord had made Akasa Ganga appear in the hills the descendants of Tirumala Nambi perform Abhisheka (bathing) of the Lord with water from Akasa Ganga. This is continued even today.

A holy dip in this sacred stream provides the merit equivalent to performing hundred rituals.
Marriages can be performed here at this holy place.

Donation of Gold is recommend at this Teertha to get auspicious benefits.

1. Shakuni Had No Animosity Against Pandavas, His Real Enemy Was Bhishma

Shakuni was furious that his sister Gandhari was marrying a blind man, and his first adversary was Bhishma, who brought the proposal of a blind man for his sister.

#Thread

In addition, there is another legend that states that Hastinapur's ancestors destroyed the entire clan of Gandhara. This is one of the reasons Shakuni vowed to end the Kuru line entirely.

So, you see Shakuni poisoning Duryodhana against the Pandavas to start a war and end the Kuru line by killing each other.

2. Shakuni Had 2 sons - Uluka & Vrikaasur

Shakuni's family was never given much attention because he is mostly seen in Hastinapur. However, it is true that he had two sons, Uluka and Vrikaasur.

Ulo-ok or Uluka wanted to return his father to Gandhara before the Pandavas came from Agyatvas, but Shakuni- did not go back because he wanted to sit and start the Kurukshetra war.

The ultimate sacrifice of Panna Dhai!

#LongThread

Panna Dhai, a 16th-century Rajput woman of the Kheechee tribe, nursemaid to Udai Singh, the fourth son of Maharana Sangram Singh I (SANGA) (1509-1527). Her name, Panna means emerald, and dhai means a wet nurse in hindi language.

She had been given charge of young Udai, breastfeeding him virtually from his birth in 1522, along with her own son Chandan (also known as Moti), who was of similar age and Udai’s playmate.

However, the second and third decades of the 16th century were troubled times, and events moved rapidly. Sanga died of wounds sustained at the Battle of Khanva (1527) against Mughal emperor Babur. Sanga’s eldest son Bhoj Raj had been killed in battle in 1521.

Three of his other sons died during his lifetime. Then his eldest son succeeded to the throne as Maharana Ratan Singh II (1527-1531). However, when he died after ruling only four years, the vile-tempered Vikramaditya II succeeded to the throne at the young age of 14.

Maharani Bhavani was very pious in her personal life. She passed her life in a strict disciplined way.

She conducted the administrative work skillfully. As a Maharani she was an impartial judge. Rani Bhavani had a very hard time during the fag end of her life. The Zamindari (estate) incurred serious loss due to the change of the revenue policy of the company.

In spite of being the owner of a large Zamindari (estate), she had to depend on the stipend of the government in the later part of her life. The amount of this stipend gradually decreased and became Rs. 1000/- only in the end.

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.

Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.

But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

Keep dwelling on this:
Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.

The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains

(20) (Fig. 2D). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.

Bharat: Advancement of earth’s earliest civilization

Glorious Vedic Architecture and Temple

Architecture in India was an extremely rich form of expression and highly developed science, with a deep heritage of spirituality in it. #FreeHinduTemple

The centre of all architectural development was the temple and temple or Mandir was the earthly home of God, and like the launching pad for the devotee’s consciousness to soar toward the Divine and the spiritual world.

The murti or deity of the Divine would be placed in the temple sanctum, around which all temple activity would revolve.

Such buildings were often elaborately decorated with stone, wood, plaster, etc. and carved or cut to depict the stories from the Puranas or other sacred texts

Temples were always the centre of religious, social and educational activities, practically more so in
ancient times than today.

During a span of more than two thousand years, various dynasties were known for constructing glorious temples,

some of which include the Mauryan, Ashoka, Gupta, Satavahana, Chedi, Chandella, Chalukya, Solanki, Pallava, Shola, Hoysala, Vijayanagar, and others.

Many of these temples remain beautiful architectural wonders today.

What does Gold- Backed mean?
The Chinese Elders have been accumulating gold for hundreds of years. They are gold-rich. Some of their gold was loaned to the Central Banking System so that it could fund the rebuilding of Europe after the many war-torn years from World Wars I and II

BTW they never returned it but used it to start their financial empire to enslave humanity. This is the Central Bank Banking System./2

Maybe this is why one of the conditions to use their gold for the QFS is the demise and full disclosure of the Central Bank banking system before the RV can take place./3

The Elders have caves of hidden gold and are now using it to gold-back the currencies in the QFS for every country in the world. It is important to understand that the QFS and the money it is about to release is all brand-new currency./4

It was designed by the Alliance to fund the new financial system that will reset all Currencies of the world to Gold-Backed currency./5

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.

One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing
— Tom Clark (@prospect_clark) November 2, 2018

Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
