Thinking about how, in Judaism, redeeming captives is considered a "great mitzvah," something that takes precedence over even supporting the poor, and the cash bail system.

Azhwars life
Azhwar were devotee of Vishnu who had fortune of having direct darshan of bhagwan Shri Vishnu.temples which they sung song is called Divya desams.they are 108.106 in Earth and 2 outside Earth.their dongs collectively called nalayira Divya prabhandam as it is 4000

Azhwar number and time period
They were 12 in number.only one female azhwar aandal.others are males.their time period ranges from late dwaparyug to Kaliyuga till 800ad.their works and life was retrieve by Shri nathamuni who had darshan of sri nammalvar.

First 3 azhwars
Poigai azhwar bootathazhwar and peyazhwar were first 3 azhwars. They are ayonijas ie they were not born in mothers Womb. All three were Yogis.they were born out of flowers.poigai born in thiruvekka kanchi. bootathazhwar in mahabalipuram peyyalvar in mylapore

All 3 azhwars were in late dwaparyug.poigai amsa of panchajanya bhootat azhwar gaumodaki gadha and peyyalvar was amsa of khadga.all 3 sang in andhadi style .sriman Narayana decided to meet all 3 devotees.once on a rainy day all came to tirukoilur temple near Kanchi during yatra

STARTED ARRIVING TO A SMALL SHED. WHEN THEY GOT IN TO THE SHED THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE 3 OF THEM TO STAND. BEING COMPLETELY SITUATED IN BHAGAVATH BHAVAM, THEY STARTED INQUIRING ABOUT EACH OTHER AND FOUND OUT THE DETAILS ABOUT EACH OTHER.

'Tera mera rishta kya, hindu, hindu,hindutva' is a clear take on 'tera mera rishta kya,la ilaha illallah'. As much as Hindutva hates the monotheistic religions especially Islam, there's a strange wistfulness and subliminal need at display now, to BE that they hate. 1

Charlie Hebdo doesn’t come up as a cautionary tale now but rather 'why cant we be like that'?
Growing up, Hanuman was an adorable deity for us, who swallowed the sun, or who couldn’t figure out what was Sanjeevani booti so he picked up a whole mountain and came back with it. 2

Or he was loyal, admirable and when he cleaved his chest, you saw both Ram and Sita. Now we have a lot of “Angry Hanuman” stickers. Why is a cute childlike God angry? We don’t know. It's a convenient blank space where to paint all the angst of Hindu Khatre mein hain narrative. 3

The other strange thing that has started happening is pictures of Ram appearing sans Sita. “Jai Siya Ram” has become “Jai Shri Ram”. Some people disingenuously explain it as being the same thing - because Shri is a name of Lakshmi. Not really. Siya is an apbhransh of Sita. 4

Shri is a prefix of respect in this case. Hinduism is being militarised. A woman/Sita has no place in it. Even the militaristic Goddess that is Durga has no place in this conception of neo-Hindu divinity, as evidenced by Dilip Mandal wondering where Durga came from. 5

@ChenHuailun here. I'm adding a supplementary thread before today's scheduled one to expand on the origins and early history of the Church of the East (aka the Nestorian Church) ~ahc #jingjiao 1/

The Church of the East traces its origins to the christological position of the School of Antioch, which held that the human and divine and human essences (ουσία) of Christ were united in a single prosopon (πρόσωπον). ~ahc #jingjiao 2/

This ran against the position of the School of Alexandria, which held that the two essences of Christ were united in a single hypostasis (ὑπόστασις). In general terms, hypostasis is more inherent than prosopon. ~ahc #jingjiao 3/

One implication of the Antiochene rejection of the hypostatic union is that Mary could not accurately be called the Theotokos, or God-bearer. Instead, she is the Christotokos, the Christ-bearer. ~ahc #jingjiao 4/

These Christological debates were further complicated by Syriac terms such as 'kyana' (ܟܝܢܐ), associated with 'ousia' but later translated to 'hypostasis' by Syrian Orthodox; and 'qnoma ' (ܩܢܘܡܐ), sometimes contentiously translated as 'hypostasis' or 'person.' ~ahc #jingjiao 5/

In recent years we are just seeing injustice towards Muslims all over the world whether it is the Uighur Rohingya Kashmiri Muslims In this thread I would be focusing on plight of Kashmiri Muslims as the Indian state uses a very sinister propaganda to suppress them

Kashmiri Pandits are a Hindu Group that lived alongside Kashmiri Muslims in the Kashmir valley There was an exodus of them in 1989 but the atrocities have been blown out of proportion

This Kashmiri Pandit exodus has hidden the atrocities Kashmiri Muslims have faced over many years for example Jammu Massacre which occurred during Partition of India estimated 300000 Kashmiri Muslims were killed and Jammu Muslim percentage declined significantly

Now coming to the year of exodus 1989 there has been widespread propaganda that as high as 600000 Kashmiri Pandits were expelled even international news source BBC reported 350000 Kashmiri Pandits were displaced however there are reasons to believe these numbers aren’t accurate

In the table below we can see the demographics of Kashmir Valley IR stands for Indic religions such as Hinduism and Sikhism and we can see they numbered at around 160000 in 8 years there is no way the population could have grown to 600000 or even 350000 for that matter

TODAY I WILL REMOVE ALL MISUNDERSTANDING & WRONG INFO ABOUT KRISHNA CHIRHARAN GOPI LEELA.

PLEASE BOOKMARK THIS THREAD AND REFUTE THOSE WHO ARE DOING PROPAGANDA.

I often see such kind of images floating around & with wrong info about Bhagwan Krishna.

So lets start with Gokul..

Some people are of the view that 'gopi chirharan leela' was vulgar and obscene.People forget that Krishna stayed at Gokul for merely eleven years. This leela possibly must have been done when he must be eight or nine. How could gestures of a child can be obscene.

Rishi's and saints have used such words in their scriptures for centuries but we in this modern world are taking their present day meaning without considering the inner nuances of those words.

Such words were used to make us aware about the pure bhakti which according to them was that there should be no barrier between Parmatma and devotee.Spiritualists believe that Krishna is ATMA and gopis are VRITI(वृत्ति).

Once the cover of VRITI or attitude is destroyed that is Chirharan and finally when they surrender themselves to the Atma(Krishna) that is 'Raas'.
