Historical Gurdwaras of Hazor Sahib

1. Gurdwara Nagina Ghat ⠀
A rich merchant’s expensive nagina (precious stone set in gold) was thrown by Guru Gobind Singh Ji into Godavri River. The merchant thought Guru Ji did not know the value of the nagina. Mahraj read his thought and

 asked him to take out the nagina if it was so valuable. It is said that when he entered the river he was surprised to see the river bed full of precious stones. Purged of his false pride, he fell at Guru Ji’s feet. It was also from this place that Mahraj shot an arrow revealing
their Tap Asthan (meditation place) of Satyug, Sachkand Shri Hazor Sahib.⠀

2. Takht Sri Sachkand Abchalnagar Hazor Sahib. One of the 5 Takhts of Sikhs. Despite being the site where Kalgidhar Patshah Ji left their physical body from, their presence is felt strongly here.
3. Bunga Mai Bhago Ji
In compound of Takht Sri Hazor Sahib Ji, this Bunga is built in memory of Mai Bhago Ji. Housing weapons believed to be of Mai Bhago Ji and 40 Mukte. The two Angitha Sahib of Pyare Bhai Daya Singh ji and Pyare Bhai Dharam Singh Ji are also situated here.
4. Gurdwara Hira Ghat⠀
When Guru Gobind Singh Ji first came to Nanded from Punjab, they pitched their tents right here on the back of Godavri River. It was also here where it’s believed that emperor Bahadur Shah presented Guruji a hira (diamond) which they flung into the
river and when the offended emperor looked into the river, he say heaps of diamonds. He was deeply impressed and bowed to Guruji with humility.⠀
5. Gurdwara Mata Sahib Devan Ji Mata Ji’s Tap Asthan (meditation spot) since Satyug is situated here. Guruji used to come here daily from Hira Ghat to have langgar prepared by Mataji. Mata Ji is said to have asked Guru Ji who will visit her Gurdwara as it is quite hidden and
Mahraj said my Sikhs will because without visiting your asthan, their Hazor Sahib yatra would not be safli (complete). One should definitely try to spend some time to meditate here in Mata Ji’s Bhora Sahib.
6. Gurdwara Shikar Ghat⠀
Once Guru Gobind Singh Ji came here following a chase (shikar) and killed a rabbit which in a former birth had been Bhai Mula, a contemporary Sikh of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. Once when Guru Nanak Dev Ji wanted to see him, he avoided Guruji after being
brainwashed by his wife. He hid himself fearing Guru Ji might take him on a long journey. Guru Ji went away, Mula soon died by a snakebite. His repentent soul had since been wandering in different incarnations until Kalgidhar Patshah Ji liberated it by the touch of their arrow.
7. Gurdwara Maaltekri
A blind Muslim saint had a deep longing to meet Guru Nanak Dev Ji Mahraj since a long time. Guru Nanak reached his place on one of their journeys. The pir fell at the feet of Guru Ji. Guru Ji embraced him with affection and blessed him.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji is believed to have told Lakad Shah Faqir, that a large amount of money is kept buried at this place which shall be later required by their successor. So they must look after the place until the arrival of a successor who will need use of the money.
8. Gurdwara Sanggat Sahib
When Guru Ji decided to reside in Nanded, soldiers in their army requested for salary so that they can return back to Punjab. Guruji ordered Bhai Daya Singh and Bhai Dharam Singh to bring out the treasure underground at a place called Mal Tekri from
times of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. They went, dug the treasure and brought here back on bullock carts. The treasure was distributed to the army generously, not in counted numbers but in shieldfuls. The shield they used to distribute the treasure can be seen here.
9. Gurdwara Banda Ghat
Gurdwara commemorating historical meeting of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Banda Singh Bahadur
10. Gurudwara Nanaksar Sahib
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Mahraj stopped over here en-route to Bidar. There’s a Ber tree here where Guru Ji sat in devotion for nine days and nine hours.
At this place, Bhai Mardana Ji requested for water and Guru Ji asked them to play Rabab and a spring of cold sweet water appeared. A leper requested to Guru Ji to cure his leprosy here. Guru Ji made him bath under this spring and drink the water which cured him.
Guru Ji then blessed this spring to be a holy sarovar where whoever has no child or is suffering from any disease, his hope and desire will be fulfilled.
11. Gurdwara Nanak Puri and Gurdwara Chandan Sahib
This gurdwaras are next to each other and marks the place Guru Nanak Dev Ji met and had discourse with followers of Goraknath here while teaching them about Akaal Purakh.
12. Gurdwara Ratangarh Sahib
The site where a Sikh was blessed with the darshan of Kalgidhar Patshah after their Joti Jot saying “Do not worry, I will always be with you.”The Khalsa were advised to stay in Chardi Kala, continue Kirtan and Jap of Satnam.
13. Gurdwara Sri Damdama Sahib

The beauty and peace of this place where there was a bagh (garden) compelled Guru Sahib to stay here for 8 day when they arrived from Punjab before going to Hazor Sahib area. A Thada Sahib was dug at the site and a Barsha was found.
14. Gurdwara Langgar Sahib

In 1912 when Sant Baba Nidhan Singh Ji was sitting on the platform of Nanded Railway Station and was waiting for the train to Punjab, they were immersed in Simran. At that moment, Guru Gobind Singh Ji Mahraj gave him Darshan and stopped him from
going to Punjab and ordered him to go back to his ancient langar place and start the service of langar there. At that time there were very less devotees who use to come to Nanded due to the non existence of traveling medium. At that time there was a deep forest where there is
Gurudwara Langar Sahib today. Hence Baba Nidhan Singh Ji urged to Guru Ji, "Sachhe Patshah! from where will I bring the money to run langar service?" Guru Ji blessed Baba Ji, "Khisa Mera Hath Tera." Baba Ji obeyed Guru Ji's order and came to this place.
With great patience and trust he started the langar service here. It was just due to his hard work and the blessings of Guru Ji that the langar started at that time is running 24 hours today.

In 1637, the Dutch Republic erupted into a speculative fever over an unlikely item...the tulip.

Tulip Mania has become a legend synonymous with market euphoria and bubbles. But is this tale all it's cracked up to be?

Who's up for a story?

👇👇👇


1/ The tulip is a spring-blooming flower native to the valleys of the Tien Shan Mountains in Central Asia.

It is believed to have been introduced to Europe in 1554, when an ambassador of the Holy Roman Emperor sent tulip bulbs and seeds to Vienna from the Ottoman Empire.


2/ Tulips gained in popularity as people were attracted to their rich color and ability to grow in sub-optimal conditions.

They soon became a coveted status symbol for the wealthy.

The Semper Augustus, with its colorful, flame-like streaks, was the most desired of them all.


3/ By the early 1600s, the Dutch Republic was entering a golden age.

Many financial innovations popped up during this time - the first stock exchange, for example.

But it was another financial innovation that would propel tulips into historical lore: the futures contract.

4/ As tulips grow slowly and may take several years to bloom, paper contracts were written that entitled the buyer to the future tulips.

These contracts were freely-traded.

So in addition to the physical market for tulip bulbs, a thriving paper market was established.

Taj Mahal is Hindu Monument: Prof Marvin Mills, Reputed New York Architect.
@LostTemple7 @DivineElement


1.Professor Marvin H. Mills, a leading New York architect and professor of architecture at the Pratt Institute had studied the Taj Mahal in detail. Here is part of his letter published in The New York Times. 👇👇

2.“New information and analysis have come forth to constitute a compelling argument that the Taj was actually a former Hindu palace occupied and converted to a tomb by the Moguls…There are many other inconsistencies in the Taj legend. The building to its left is now a mosque.

3.Had it been built originally as a mosque it would almost certainly have been oriented directly to Mecca,instead of due west.The four“minarets”that surround Taj mausoleum r inappropriate,for they logically should have been in front of the“mosque”for convenient calls to prayer.”

4.Through the letter, he had appealed thus, “The origin of the Taj can best be determined through scientific dating by carbon-14 and thermoluminescence, which the Archeological Survey of India should be urged to undertake.”
According to Prof Mills,

Happy black history Month.

January 1st 1969, Marien Ngouabi was sworn in as the President of Republic of Congo.

But who was he? And why was he assassinated 8 years later after refusing to grant the French the oil region of Cabinda

#Thread


1.French occupied Congo Brazzaville starting early 19th century. Every European colonial power wanted a piece of the Congo so the French commissioned Pierre de Brazza to explore Equatorial Africa in October 1875.

By 1891, French had already annexed Congo Brazza

2. Like any French Colony, Congolese endured ruthless exploitation of their land for 80 years

By 1958, Congo Brazaville was on a journey to decolonization under MSA ( movement socialist African) founded by anti-colonial leaders from Tchad, Senegal, Gabon, Cameroon, Mali,..

3. On August 5th 1960,French agreed on a peaceful transition to an independent state and give Fulbert Youlou to govern the new republic.

Youlou, a liberal nationalist was seen as less of a threat compared to other anti-colonial leaders

4. Youlou's presidency was a total failure full of corruption, incompetency and catering to French multinationals for validation

This ended very bad for Youlou because when the people started strikes all over the country, France did nothing when the military overthrew Youlou

This is the field where my grandmother’s family was murdered in April 1943. I met one of the witnesses, a neighbor, several years ago. She said she saw them being marched away, was told by a Nazi to get back inside or risk joining them... 1/#InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay


My grandmother and her kid sister ran for their lives into the woods. One detail that sticks out from my great aunt’s testimony many yrs later: the sunflower stalks in Grodzisko were so tall you could lay down and hide among them. Presuming the Nazis didn’t bring the dogs. 2/

My grandmother paid a farmer to hide them in the attic of his barn. This was a perilous act. After the war, my grandmother would send the farmer care packages until he died, as a token of her gratitude.

Most of my grandmother’s family were killed in those awful days in 1943.


In testimony my great aunt recorded—amazing to listen to, truly—she remembers being perpetually hungry and freezing. She recalls seeing a cherry tree outside the window of the attic and fainting. She also remembers my her sister’s nightmares, the screams for Eli...

Before they ran for their lives, my grandmother had given away her 3yo son Eli for safekeeping while she hid. After the war, she returned for him, but he was gone. Vanished. No one could say what happened to him.

I have been searching for Eli, my uncle, for two decades.

Met a Brazilian-American Lyft driver from San Diego who passionately attacked the racism of Republicans, then switched to passionately defending Bolsonaro.

If I were Thomas Friedman, I could tell you what this means.

Met a Haitian-American in a restaurant who said he'd always vote for Democrats because of the immigration issue, but that he has conservative beliefs too. "I don't want to pay for someone's abortion!", he declared.

Met a Latino Lyft driver from San Jose who said that while he was liberal, California was getting too liberal for him and he was considering moving to San Antonio.

Again, not being Tom Friedman, I am unable to offer any commentary on the political and policy implications of these conversations.

I guess my only thought is that political opinions are pretty complex and multidimensional, out there in the real world.

Again, at such a key moment in UK and at such high political levels, evidence of deep misunderstanding of EU: The PM is under pressure in some quarters to delay #Brexit vote to allow her first to “improve” deal in Brussels BUT EU is determined not to budge at this stage

2) All EU leaders watching tomorrow’s vote. Of course they want to avoid a no deal #Brexit BUT they feel the deal - so painfully negotiated between EU and UK - is too fresh to re-open. Clarifications, yes but fundamental renegotiations, no.

3) The EU’s international reputation as a tough deal-maker is at stake here too. If Brussels now suddenly “gives in” to U.K. on EU red lines (eg backstop) then that would weaken the EU’s reputation in future trade negotiations with other non EU countries

4) Also on backstop the EU is unlikely to cave in to favour a relationship with a leaving member state (UK) against the explicit wishes and ignoring the deep concerns of a continuing member: Ireland.

5) Both the EU and the PM signed up to a guarantee to protect the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. If either the U.K. or EU can leave the backstop unilaterally then this clearly is no longer a guarantee.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.
