In Hinduism #Ahoi #Ashtami is festival dedicated to devi popularly known as Ahoi mata. It is majorly celebrated in northern India on 'ashtami' tithi of krishna paksh in the month of Kartik . Women perform vrat on this day for the wellbeing of their children.

Mothers worship mata Ahoi with utmost fervor and pray for a long, happy and healthy life for their children. After fasting for the entire day they break the fast only after seeing and worshipping the moon or the stars. This day is considered highly important for childless couples

Women who find it difficult to conceive religiously perform the Ahoi Vrat to have a child.This is the reason, this day is also known as 'Krishnashtami’. The holy place of #Mathura is thronged by couples and devotees to take the holy dip in '#RadhaKund .

women keep a garland made of silver or gold coins, belonging to generations of that family, in front of the mata during the Puja. whenever a new member gets added to the family, a coin is added to that garland. Every year, this same garland is used for the Ahoi Puja.

An elderly lady of the family reads out the Katha (story) of Ahoi mata while the other women listen. Holy Kalash filled with water is placed on the left side of the Ahoi mata picture.A Swastika is made on the Kalash, and a sacred thread or Moli is tied around the Kalash.

Poori, Halwa, and Pua, are offered to mata . It is popularly believed that Ahoi Mata is none other than Mata Parvati.
HAPPY AHOI ASHTAMI

In #Hinduism the e concept of #Kuladevata and #Kuldevi is very essential & significant. . Puja of which helps in avoiding all forms of untoward incidents in life. Our #Purvaj or ancestors originated from
from any #Rishi who himself originated from any Devta.

Since Kuldevta and Kuldevi have a direct link with your DNA, they are considered more close to you as compared to other Devtas. In this way they are also your family's first line of defense against negative energies. Regular worship and hom of Kuldevta creates a shield around.

Practice of worshipping them initiated by Our forefathers. Any ceremony is incomplete without their rituals. There are Kuldevta temples where the family has been worshipping for generations .
‘Shri Kuladevatayai Namaha’. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Once the chanting of the Name of the Kuladevata is completed, the Guru Himself comes into the seeker’s life and blesses him with a Gurumantra.

In Hinduism, #Kartik month is considered extremely pious . It is said that #Kartik #Snan is as glorious as Shri Vishnu himself or his pilgrimages. It's nobility is well described in #Padma-Purana' and '#Skanda-Purana'.

As described in our Puranic scripts the month of Kartik provides all four kinds of benefits – religious, economic, good marital life and enlightenment as first narrated by Shri Narayana to Brahma, Brahma to Narada and by Narada to King Prithu for the welfare of mankind.

In this month, devotees worship #RadhaDamodar after bathing in Brahma muhurta. The Hindu month of Kartik is important in many ways among other months. It is also mentioned as a month of lights since #Diwali is celebrated during this period.

The second ritual is worshiping 'Tulsi'. She is having special place in the month of Kartik. Since she is very dear to Shri Vishnu it is very beneficial to worship him with Tulsi leaves and its Manjari . Kartik Purnima is considered to be very important day.

It is believed that Shri Vishnu also incarnated as Matsya on the day of Kartik Purnima.Kartik Purnima is associated with #Prabodhini Ekadashi, which is the period signifying the awakening of Vishnu god. It marks the end of Chatur Maas .

हमारे #सनातन धर्म में #तिलक को बहुत महत्त्व दिया गया है,
इसी कारण हमारे पूर्वज कभी बिना तिलक नहीं रहते थे इतना ही नहीं कई लोग तो बिना तिलक के रात्रि में सोते भी नहीं थे क्योंकि उनका यही मानना था की क्या पता मौत कब आ जाये और कब इस शरीर को छोड़कर यमलोक प्रस्थान करना पड़े।

सनातन धर्म में प्रचलित सभी #परम्परों के पीछे कोई न कोई कारण आपको अवश्य मिलेगा।तिलक लगाने के वैज्ञानिक तथ्य भी है जो लोग तिलक लगाते है उनमे क्रोध की भावना कम होती हैं तथा तिलक मस्तिष्क को ढंडा बनाये रखता है।हमने अपने बड़े बुजुर्गो की तस्वीरों को देखा होगा।

उनकी तस्वीर में वे सदैव मस्तक पर तिलक लगाया करते थे।आज हिन्दुओं के घर से तिलक लगाने की परम्परा लुप्त हो चुकी है । परंतु हिन्दू परंपरा के अनुसार ललाट (माथे) को सुना नहीं रखना चाहिए।किसी प्रकार का तिलक या टीका अवश्य लगाना चाहिए।

सभी विभिन्न तिलकों में एक नाम आता है , #गोपी चंदन।
वैष्णव तिलक गोपी-चन्दन से लगाया जाता है।इस तिलक को देखते ही #भगवान श्री कृष्ण का स्मरण होता है। यह तिलक मानव शरीर को शुद्ध कर बुरे प्रभाव से रक्षा भी करता है।

#गर्ग संहिता के अनुसार जो मनुष्य प्रतिदिन गोपी-चंदन का वैष्णव तिलक धारण करता है। उसे एक हजार #अश्वमेघ यज्ञों तथा राजसूय यज्ञों का फल प्राप्त होता है। गोपी-चंदन से वैष्णव तिलक धारण करने वाला पापी मनुष्य भी भगवान कृष्ण के धाम, गोलोक वृन्दावन को प्राप्त होता है।

मोक्ष की नगरी #काशी के कण कण में विराजमान हैं भगवान #शिव । यहां की संस्कृति और परंपराओं में शिव के विराट व्यक्तित्व की झलक दिखाई देती है। मतस्य पुराण के अनुसार भगवान शिव स्वयं मरते हुए व्यक्ति के कानों में #तारक मंत्र का उपदेश सुनाते हैं और #मोक्ष प्राप्त हो जाता है।

अर्थात उस व्यक्ति को जन्म और मृत्यु के चक्र से मुक्ति मिल जाती है। शिव-पार्वती का ये पावन स्थान मन्दिर बारह ज्योतिर्लिंगों में से एक है। ऐसी मान्यता है कि एक भक्त को भगवान शिव ने सपने में दर्शन देकर कहा था कि गंगा स्नान के बाद उसे दो शिवलिंग मिलेंगे और जब वो

उन दोनों शिवलिंगों को जोड़कर उन्हें स्थापित करेगा तो शिव और शक्ति के दिव्य शिवलिंग की स्थापना होगी और तभी से भगवान शिव यहां मां पार्वती के साथ विराजमान हैं| बाबा की आज्ञा से यहाँ मन्दिर का निर्माण हुआ ।

मंदिर के ऊपर के सोने के छत्र को ले कर यह मान्यता है कि अगर उसे देख कर कोई मुराद मांगी जाती है तो वह अवश्य ही पूरी होती है। रानी अहिल्या द्वारा मंदिर का जीर्णोद्धार कराने के पश्चात इंदौर के महाराज रणजीत सिंह ने मंदिर पर सोना लगाने का कार्य किया था ।

#गंगा किनारे बसा यह शहर कई बार तबाही और निर्माण का साक्षी बना है, जिसका असर काशीनाथ मंदिर पर भी पड़ा।परंतु जहाँ देवाधिदेव महादेव स्वयं बैठे हो वहाँ सिर्फ़ कल्याण होता है .. नकारात्मक शक्तियाँ दूर रहती हैं।

MAHARAJA CHHATRASAL BUNDELA was the great Bundela King who revolted against the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
Chhatrasal Bundela was born in year 1649 CE in Maur Hill of Bundela region to Champat Rai and Lal Kunwar. He was the descendent of Rudra Pratap of Orchha.

His ancesters were the vassals of Mughal Emperor. He drew inspiration from his father and revolted against the alien rule of Mughals. He was just 12 yrs old when his parents died in fight against the Mughal Army of Aurangzeb in 1661.

When his beloved father attained martyrdom in the year 166, the young Chatrasal was present in the last battle of his father against the Mughal and from these valiant campaigns,..

..he gathered the courage to free Bundelkhand from Aurangzeb’s rule.
He joined the Mughals initially, and was recommended by the Rajput King Mirza Jai Singh to be recruited in the Mughal Army in order to support their Deccan Campaigns.

But serving the alien rule of Mughals which brought chaos and misery to Bundelkhand was unacceptable for Chatrasal Bundela and his father’s incessant struggle against the Mughals kept the fire of independent Bundelkhand alive in his heart.

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.

She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.

At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".

EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.

Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.

Do you know?

Multiverse is mentioned in several of Hindu Scriptures.

In 1927 came a theory named 'Big Bang' which was a scientific effort to provide some explanation about how our Universe came into existence. It suggested that Universe started as a tiny, hot and dense...

...something that expanded rapidly from the singularity with a big explosion or Big Bang from which formed the galaxies, stars and the rest of the Universe.
However, the science in our Vedas explained these concepts since millennia. Rig Veda mentions Hiranyagarbha and Brahmanda..

...Visphotak which talks about a similar theory.
The concept of Parallel universes may be novel to the modern scientists but it rests very comfortably in ancient Hindu Cosmology. The Puranas are replete with descriptions of many worlds whose inhabitants are ruled by kings in...

...the human plane and Gods in a higher plane. The many Gods in turn belong to many different worlds and planes of existence. At the highest level of hierarchy are the trinity namely Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesha, ruling the divine Kingdoms. Brahma is the creator who dreams...

...the Universe into being, which is maintained by Vishnu. What Humans perceive as reality is in fact the dream of Brahma, misled by matter. Brahman( not to be confused with Brahma) is the ground of all reality & existence. Brahman is uncreated,external, infinite & all-embracing.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YAJNA

Fire is, of course, one of the greatest discovery of mankind. Our control over the fire dramatically changed the entire human habits; earlier it was used to cook food, protection from animals and to stay warm.

Among the many applications of fire, one is Yajna (यज्ञ, yajña); also called as Havana (हवन) or Agnihotra (अग्निहोत्र).
Yajna is elaborately described in Yajurveda. In Yajurveda, Yajna is the greatest among all works (Karman). One can purify his /her soul by performing Yajna.

In Vedic culture, it is thought that the holy fire is the mediator between Gods and us; when the offerings are made to Yajna with chanting mantras, it directly reaches the Gods, who bless the people with rains, food, health, and good luck.

According to Apastamba Sutra, the definition of Yajna is Vedic sacrifice; an act by which we surrender something for gods e.g. grains (Anna), pulse, milk and milk product (ghee, butter, curd) fruits, plant juice (soma), etc.

As we said; Yajna is the contact medium for gods and

to seek their blessings.

There are many types of Yajna performed by Hindus for e.g.,

1. Rajsuya Yajna
2. Ashwamedha Yajna
3. Chaaturmasya Yajna
4. Vaajpey Yajna
5. Purushmedha Yajna
6. Sarvamedha Yajna

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:

He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party

So, on the subject of bonkers hyperbolic pretzeling over the Bell judgement, Grace 'destroy books I don't like & make inappropriate jokes about sterilising teenage girls' Lavery has some thoughts.

Tell me why my feminism is wrong Grace.

Oh

Well, if anyone thought the Bell judgment was going to make TRAs reconsider making massively overblown claims with no evidence backed up with nothing but a thick wadge of emotional blackmail.... HAHAHA, no one thought that.

A high court in the UK made a delimited judgment about teenager's ability to consent to puberty blockers. This puts all trans people everywhere in the world at risk.

Because if any human anywhere has any thoughts that deviate in any way from the rote line dictated by

the trans rights movement, this puts all trans people everywhere in mortal danger.

Let's be honest Grace. It doesn't put trans people at risk. It puts trans ideology at risk. Because trans ideology depends on the idea of innate gender identity, and the trans child is the

necessary material evidence of the ontology of gender identity.

That is, children are being medicalised to provide evidence to underwrite adults identities.

Nothing to see here.

Shocking fact: Millennial men are less likely to work than any other age and gender demographic in America.

Today, there are 500,000 young men missing from the U.S. workforce.

Research suggests video games & improved leisure tech plays a role in the problem. 👇 Thread:

Following the 2007 to 2009 recession, 25 to 34 year old men exited high school with fewer middle-skill job opportunities than years prior.

During this time, we saw an increased number of men living with parents & choosing unemployment over lower paying jobs.

It's estimated that 24M millennials live w/ their parents.

1 in 4 living in their parents’ home neither go to school nor work.

What's more surprising? 9 in 10 who lived with their parents a year ago are still living there w/ no plans to leave.

Economists are calling millennial men a lost generation.

According to economist David Dorn:

“If you get to the point where you’re turning 30, you’ve never held a real job and you don’t have a college education, then it is very hard to recover at that point.”

Economists suggest this choosiness is a generational trait.

Forbes interview w/ a high school educated man:

"I’m very quick to get frustrated when people refuse to pay me what I’m worth."
“People feel that they have choice nowadays, and they
