#TigrayGenocide

 At a time when clear evidence of horrific acts of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and elements of genocide are emerging from #Tigray, the @SolomonADersso and

Silence by @achpr_cadhp constitutes not only an endorsement of the genocidal war waged against the people of #Tigray, but it also violates the core principle and provisions of the African Union Constitutive Act. (3/22)

As @AUC_MoussaFaki's utter failure to respect and ensure respect of basic human rights of #Tigrayans, which are grossly and systemically violated by #Amhara militia, Abiy’s #Ethiopian and Isaias's #Eritrean armed forces. (4/22)
The African Union's responsibility under the Constitutive Act Article 4 is clear that African Union is to intervene in a member state if necessarily deploying peace operation where the government or any other forces commit a crime against humanity, a war crime, (5/22)
or the crime of genocide. When is @achpr_cadhp going to issue a statement? Or under the lackey @SolomonADersso no chance for the @achpr_cadhp to stand its ground and face facts? (6/22)
Now #Tigray is a war zone full of a corps of soldiers littered roads, civilian killings, pillages of unimaginable proportions, and catastrophic humanitarian crisis with more than two million new IDPs and more than sixty thousand refugees. (7/22)

Western #Tigray has fallen under Abiy's forces and militias from the Amhara regional state that are administering swaths of territories of Tigray. Though disputed by the #Amhara regional state, these areas were under the legal administration of #Tigray, and are now handed (8/22)
over to #Amhara regional state appointees. This is a public knowledge with no need of verification as @AbiyAhmedAli's administration and the #Amhara regional state proudly announce and have been in competition to take credit for the invasion of #Tigray. (9/22)
The #AfricanUnion Commission, like the other diplomatic missions in #Ethiopia, receives information concerning the widespread killings and the pillage of public and private property committed by Isaias Afwerki forces of #Eritrea and #Amhara militia. (10/22)
The violations of the fundamental rights of #Eritrean refugees is also well evidenced. In this regard too, there is no paucity of information. These facts disprove all pretenses under law enforcement, the government claims to do and may constitute a grave violation of (11/22)
customary International Humanitarian Law. Under international law, civilian administrations are supposed to stay intact until hostilities end. This also has the potential to elongate the conflict and strengthen ethnic animosity between #Tigray and #Amhara. (12/22)
@achpr_cadhp silence reveals z absolute failure of AU institutions and its subservient chairperson @SolomonADersso in meeting its responsibilities to protect civilians. Instead, it has prioritized second term concerns over the human security of the common African person. (13/22)
Or is @SolomonADersso legitimizing his Amhara cousins, that of @AbiyAhmedAli's and Isaias's armed forces to continue their heinous crimes against #Tigrayans and close to 100 thousand #Eritrean refugees. (14/22)

@AUC_MoussaFaki, the Chairperson of the #AfricanUnion Commission to the 38th Extraordinary Summit in which he characterized the genocidal war on #Tigray regional state and its people as "bold steps to preserve the unity, stability, and respect for the constitutional (15/22)
order of the country which is legitimate for all states." Does @AUC_MoussaFaki's statement represent the position of the current Chairperson of the #AfricanUnion, @_AfricanUnion, HE @CyrilRamaphosa? (16/22)
@AUC_MoussaFaki's constitutes not only an endorsement of the genocidal war waged against the people of #Tigray, but it also violates the core principle and provisions of the #AfricanUnion Constitutive Act. (17/22)
@AUC_MoussaFaki has utterly failed to respect and ensure respect of basic human rights of #Tigrayans, which are grossly and systemically violated by the #Amhara militia, @AbiyAhmedAli's #Ethiopian, and Isaias's #Eritrean armed forces. The African Union's responsibility (18/22)

.@AbiyAhmedAli's administration has bluntly denied the presence of foreign forces aiding his war on #Tigray. It is beyond dispute that Isaias Afwerki of #Eritrea's forces has invaded #Tigray in violation of international law. (20/22)
In the absence of an official invitation, this would constitute an invasion of #Tigray by #Eritrea in violation of all international and African Union laws. Even if @AbiyAhmedAli's administration extended an invitation, this would amount to active treason. (21/22)
Given that Eritrean involvement was ascertained early on, the African Union failed to treat this war as a regional one and strongly condemned it accordingly. (22/22)

On this day in history three years ago, ICE detained immigrant rights leader #RaviRagbir, and police arrested community members protesting this injustice. A reminder that when people stand up for immigrant rights, they are not treated with kid gloves. 1/

Ravi Ragbir, Jean Montrevil, and @NewSanctuaryNYC stood up against cruel and inhumane deportation policies. For that, they were surveilled, arrested, detained, and transferred to an immigration prison in FL in January 2018. 2/

Jean, co-founder of @NewSanctuaryNYC and congregant of @judsonchurchnyc was deported to Haiti on Jan.16, 2018, after coming to the U.S. as lawful permanent resident more than 30 years ago. ICE's actions separated him from his four U.S. citizen children. 3/

ICE continues to pursue Ravi's deportation (as recently as this Friday the government filed papers to try to get rid of the federal lawsuit staying Ravi's deportation). Ravi continues to fight for his freedom and stand up for immigrant rights. 4/

Ravi and Jean were not the only ones targeted for speaking out. 18 community members, including NYC elected leaders @JumaaneWilliams and @ydanis, were arrested during the protest against ICE's actions that occurred 3 years ago today. 5/

On the videolink to London and waiting to cross to the court room.

Within 2hrs we’ll know if Julian will walk out of that court room or head back to Covid infected Belmarsh to spend potentially another couple of years while appeals are heard.

They are having internet problems. Our screen was frozen for 10 mins. They fixed it but mine is frozen again. Trying to reconnect. @AndrewJFowler & I still in the virtual waiting room

I’m in.

13 waiting in the waiting room will be pretty nervous as we have passed the cut off time but the host is continuing to let people in.

We’re all asking the host to request a sound check as we missed the first half hour of what the judge said yesterday

I have seen so many people (including folks on #lawtwitter) comparing what happened at the Capitol yesterday with the violence and property damage that happened in some cities during protests last summer.

Let me explain what is wrong with that analogy . . . . .

To clarify -- my disagreement is not with those who are pointing out that law enforcement didn't respond with the same level of force and arrests at the capitol as it did during BLM protests.

That comparison deserves to be drawn and it raises some very important questions.

My disagreement is with those who are saying that what happened at the Capitol yesterday is so similar to what happened during protests this summer, that people's reactions ought to be similar--a suggestion that those reacting more strongly now are hypocritical.

Here's one example of someone (a law professor) making the argument. But I've seen it plastered across the site all day, it keeps cropping up in my mentions, and so I want to respond.


There are a number of things that distinguish what happened at the Capitol from what happened during BLM protests. The most obvious is the reason that people protested---some protested about factually false claims about election fraud; others about real police shootings.

In both cases, the person had to appear before the police and register the business. In the case of inland areas（Japan),

@RWPUSA the required documents included the consent of the parents and the proof of the parents' seal impression. This was also necessary to prevent crimes of kidnapping and forced prostitution.

1. Reasons for becoming a prostitute
2. Date of birth

@RWPUSA 3. Recently, If there is no nearest relative in the same family register, the consent of the head of the family must be obtained. If there is no one to give consent, the fact need to be provide.

#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Kshetram where Shiva is worshipped as Meghanatha and his consort is Lalithambigai seen in Abhay mudra.
Once, a demon Pandasura was harassing the Devas who went to Devi Parashakti for protection. 
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi rose from a Yaga Gunda, mounted on the Sri Chakra Rath with the name Lalithambika, waged a war against Pandasura and destroyed him.  When her fury did not subside, Shiva asked her to go to Earth, assume the name Manonmani, perform penance and shed her fury.


Shiva blessed Devi to be Shanta nayagi. There is a sculpture here depicting Shiva pacifying Devi. If you observe closely, you can see that from your left hand side there will be a smile on Her face and if you see from your right hand side you can see anger in Her face.


Hayagriva taught the greatness of Lalitha Sahasranama to Rishi Agasthya. Pleased with his devotion, Ma Lalithambikai appeared before Agastya. He is believed to have then sung Lalita Navaratnamala in praise of Devi. He has also composed a hymn named Rahasyanamasahasram.

1. Friends Of The Great Planet Earth!

Everything You Seek Is Already Within You!  Each Waking Dream Has False Teachings That  Say There Is A Special Place 'Out There' In The Skies Where People Go That Follow A Certain Doctrine.

2. And Those Same Teachers Explain There Is A Place Of Torment For Others That Arrived On A Different Part Of The Planet And Were Taught A Different Doctrine.

There Is ONE Creator That Has Been Named By Many. It Would Be Loving To Honor And Respect Another's Beliefs,

3. As In Truth, Many Have Lived In Multiple Cultures With Many Beliefs That Now Are Judged! Incarnating Over And Over Is The Joy Of The Soul Experiencing Life! The Soul Fully Understands This Is A Human Experience.

4. Wouldn't It Be Much More Relaxing And Fun To Allow Others Their Freedom, Just As You Want Yours?  Yes Indeed!  Relax And Flow!

Since The Very Beginning Of Your Self-Awareness As An Incarnate Being, You Have Probed Your World For Clues To The Meaning Of Your Existence.

5. You Have Looked In Every Conceivable Crevice And Pondered The Vastness Of The Infinite Cosmos. You Have Scrutinized The Spiritual Wisdom That Was Forthcoming From Those Who Believed Themselves To Be Knowledgeable About Such Matters.

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

#ज्योतिष_विज्ञान #मंत्र_विज्ञान

ज्योतिषाचार्य अक्सर ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव के समाधान के लिए मंत्र जप, अनुष्ठान इत्यादि बताते हैं।

व्यक्ति के जन्म के समय ग्रहों की स्थिति ही उसकी कुंडली बन जाती है जैसे कि फ़ोटो खींच लिया हो और एडिट करना सम्भव नही है। इसे ही "लग्न" कुंडली कहते हैं।


लग्न के समय ग्रहों की इस स्थिति से ही जीवन भर आपको किस ग्रह की ऊर्जा कैसे प्रभावित करेगी का निर्धारिण होता है। साथ साथ दशाएँ, गोचर इत्यादि चलते हैं पर लग्न कुंडली का रोल सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है।


पृथ्वी से अरबों खरबों दूर ये ग्रह अपनी ऊर्जा से पृथ्वी/व्यक्ति को प्रभावित करते हैं जैसे हमारे सबसे निकट ग्रह चंद्रमा जोकि जल का कारक है पृथ्वी और शरीर के जलतत्व पर पूर्ण प्रभाव रखता है।
पूर्णिमा में उछाल मारता समुद्र का जल इसकी ऊर्जा के प्रभाव को दिखाता है।


अमावस्या में ऊर्जा का स्तर कम होने पर वही समुद्र शांत होकर पीछे चला जाता है। जिसे ज्वार-भाटा कहते हैं। इसी तरह अन्य ग्रहों की ऊर्जा के प्रभाव होते हैं जिन्हें यहां समझाना संभव नहीं।
चंद्रमा की ये ऊर्जा शरीर को (अगर खराब है) water retention, बैचेनी, नींद न आना आदि लक्षण दिखाती है


मंत्र क्या हैं-
मंत्र इन ऊर्जाओं के सटीक प्रयोग करने के पासवर्ड हैं। जिनके जप से संबंधित ग्रह की ऊर्जा को जातक की ऊर्जा से कनेक्ट करके उन ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव को कम किया और शुभ प्रभाव को बढ़ाया जाता है।
