We discussed India's 1.4B people earlier this week, but China also has 1.4B ppl

Why?
Is it a coincidence these 2 population giants are neighbors?
Why do most of its 1.4B ppl live east of the red line?

It's also due to an accident:

 Let's zoom in
94% of Chinese live east of the Hu Line!
• In the North China Plain, the red area in the northeast
• The Sichuan Basin, that red circle in the middle
• Small dots along the coast
• The regions between these 3

Why?
Let's look at China's topography. Does something pop out?

Ppl are where it's flat
Flat➡️+ppl
Mountains➡️-ppl
Why?

Because of food.
Fertile soil = 🌱=🧑‍🤝‍🧑
The more fertile, the more food, the more ppl.

So why are these areas so fertile?
Plants grow with 3 ingredients:
1. Water
2. Heat
3. Fertile soil

To have so many ppl, you need all 3 to be perfect. So how does China have these perfect conditions?
1st, water:
These are the main rivers of China.
The Yangtze and Yellow rivers are the longest in Asia, and Yangtze's discharge is only 2nd to the Ganges'

Both of them reach the sea through the North China Plain.
The Yangtze also serves the Sichuan Basin.

That makes them hyper fertile!
Such huge rivers on flat plains frequently flooded, bringing their sediments (=fertile soils) to the region.
Another benefit of flat plains: ppl can +easily build canals for trade & irrigation. The Chinese have been building them for thousands of years!

The Chinese Grand Canal connects the Yellow & Yangtze rivers and was started over 2500y ago!
The result is that the North China Plain and the Sichuan basin have flat, well irrigated, well fertilized land—and wherever it's slightly hilly, it has been terraced
The Pearl River delta serves Hong Kong, Macao, Shenzhen and Ghuangzhou, which together have a bigger population than Germany
And where do these 3 rivers start? In Tibet and the other mountain ranges caused by the collision between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates!
As we saw in the thread about India, these mountain ranges catch all the rains coming from the monsoon, which become rivers like the Ganges, but also like the Yellow, Yangtze, and Pearl rivers!
https://t.co/fsqPp6O64a
But most of the water they catch is not from the Indian monsoon... It's from the Chinese monsoon!

This map shows rains in China. You can see the Hu Line ~between green and yellow!

Why is this the extent that rains reach?
Because the moist wind comes from the Pacific & South China Sea, and travels towards Eurasia until it's stopped by mountains.
This is the same process as in India. In summer:
• The hot ocean air fills with moisture
• But land air heats faster, so it goes up
• The vacuum is filled with sea air
• Which empties its water on the land
• And mountains condense all remaining water from the wind
But the South China Sea and Pacific are farther north than the Indian ocean. How come that air is still warm enough for a monsoon? Because warm sea water comes from the warmer south!
And why is that? Because of the rotation of the Earth, causing the winds and ocean gyres
OK so now we know why China is:
🌡️Hot: It's reasonably south + bathed by warm waters thanks to the Earth's rotation
🌧️Humid: Monsoons come from the warm sea, rain on the east until they reach the mountains, and drop the rest of water, which becomes rivers
🌱Fertile soil: The rivers bring sediments and water, good for irrigation
➖Flat, which helps for dropping sediments, easier irrigation, and easier farming

But why is it so flat?
Part of it is rains and rivers carving the soil and dropping sediments for millions of years.

But part of it is... Tectonic plates!

The Pacific Plate is going below the Eurasian Plate, and as it does, it flattens the surface!
Summary
🌏rotates➡️Hot sea & coast
🌏Hot Eurasian Plate vs Pacific Plate➡️Monsoon➡️🌧️
+Flat
🌏Eurasian Plate hits Indo-Australian plate➡️Mountains➡️stop water➡️rivers
Rivers➡️flat regions+sediments+irrigation
Flat➡️irrigation+farming

➡️Heat+🌧️+flat+rivers+sediments➡️🌱➡️🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧑‍🤝‍🧑
Back to the top Qs:
• It's not a coincidence that India and China both have 1.4B ppl. The same mechanics are at play! Land-sea temperature difference and tectonic plates hitting Eurasia
• Most ppl live east of the Hu Line because of flatness, rain & rivers

#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.

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.


It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.


So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.


A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.

You can lose 40 pounds of fat,

And be in incredible shape in 4 months.

All you have to do is follow these 11 simple guidelines:


· Preparation meets expectations

What do you expect to be feasible for you? Can you let go of the things that got you here?

Never treat such an endeavor as a sprint. It's a marathon.

Set realistic goals.

There's only ONE shortcut to get there faster: DO THE WORK!

· Avoid processed food

Eating highly processed foods for just two weeks can lead to weight gain and body fat increase.

Eat real food.

Get 90% of your calories from single-ingredient nutrient-dense

· Studies indicate that a high-protein diet is essential for stimulating muscle growth and losing fat.

0.73–1 gram of protein per pound (1.6–2.2 g/kg) of body weight per day is best for maximizing muscle gain and losing that stubborn fat.

· Never trust your gut

Weigh and track your foods. Timestamp your eating habits.
Compare prices between going out and prepping at home.

This will give you actual numbers and the right education to move forward from being unaware to being actually aware.

Dr. Anandibai Joshi

Upon her birth on 31 March 1865 she was named Yamuna, after the holy river. Her parents Gunputrao Amritaswar Joshee & Gungabai Joshee came from a long lineage of wealthy landlord family in Kalyan of Bombay Presidency, whose wealth was now waning.


Anandi was the sixth of 10 children, & had 4 brothers (only two of which survived) & five sisters. Her father was particularly fond of her, as she was a bright child with an inquisitive mind. Being an educated man himself, Ganpatrao assured that his daughter was taught Marathi.

As was common practice she was married at a tender age of 9, to Gopalrao Joshi, a 29 year old widower who worked as a postal clerk in the same city. After marriage her husband named her ‘Anandibai’ (which means ‘Joy of my heart’).

Gopalrao was man ahead of his times with reformist ideas & had married Anandibai on the condition that he would be allowed to educate his wife.

He even tried to enroll Anandi in a missionary school, but did not succeed. Despite being the supportive husband, Gopalrao had his flaws.

He was a strict teacher & would sometimes resort to beating if Anandi slacked in her studies.

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991." https://t.co/DAEgchNyTP


OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Dalton School...Dalton School...rings a

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.

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.

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.
