"Christmas is a time for community, but in this cursed pandemic our communities are far flung things. We are however blessed to be able to reach out to one another across vast distance..."

(Transcript in replies.)

Transcript:

A hard year lies ahead beyond this week of muted celebrations. The country has, thankfully, just about steered clear of a no-deal Brexit, but that doesn't ease all of the concerns many of us have.
The long-dangling axe of austerity still hangs over many lives, with poverty rife despite the best efforts of famous footballers, and the pandemic remains a deeply unpredictable thing.
For the year ahead I think there are certain priorities. First, to strive to try to build greater trust in our communities.

Second, we need to carry that trust forward into building a movement - and movements - for change.
While I know traditionally people speak of building a movement, of building a singular monolithic greatness to sweep all before it and carry the day for all, I do mean both.
I am unsure whether it matters which movement - at this time - you join or support. What matters is that the movement you trust is a compassionate community first and foremost: for its members but also for outsiders.
For myself, this means Harmony. And I hope many of you will join me.

Regardless of whether you do or or do not - Christmas is a time for community, but in this cursed pandemic our communities are far-flung things.
We are however blessed to be able to still reach out to one another across vast distance and say: I love you. I support you. I stand with you in solidarity.
And to you, one of my communities, I wish a very merry Christmas... and regardless of reality, hope for a more beautiful year in 2021 than any of us can see coming.

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed

Some bats & pangolins carry viruses related with SARS-CoV-2, found in SE Asia and in Yunnan, & the pangolins carrying SARS-CoV-2 related viruses were smuggled from SE Asia, so there is a possibility that SARS-CoV-2 were coming from
