In the past, we had a glimpse of Lakshmana's devotion towards Sri Rama, his brother and father figure.

सिंहस्कन्धो महाबाहुर्मनस्वी प्रियदर्शिनः।
पितृवद्वर्तते रामे मातृवन्मां समाचरन्।।
Lakshmana, who has lionshoulders and strong arms, who is handsome, who takes Rama as his father & treats me as his own mother

वृद्धोपसेवी लक्ष्मीवान् शक्तो न बहुभाषिता।।
Heroic Lakshmana, did not know while I was borne away. He is prosperous, foremost in serving elders. He is energetic and reserved in his speech like my father-in-law ..

These are from Sarga-38, shlokas 60 and 61.
There are 3 distinct points which I want to draw the attention of the reader to.
1. She also compares Lakshmana to Dasaratha much like how Rama did when he constructed the hut in panchavati

3. Most importantly, she does acknowledge that Lakshmana treats her like his own mother and Rama his father.
These statements are minute observations constructed over a period of time ...

Staying on this topic, there is an instance when Rama distraught at losing Sita, suddenly finds her ornamnets and is ecstatic.
He shows her jewels to Lakshmana & begs him to identify the same, wherein ....

नाहं जानामि केयूरे नाहं जानामि कुण्डले
नूपुरे त्वभिजानामि नित्यं पादाभिवन्दनात्।

Lakshmana would only bow down to his sister-in-law's feet & would have never seen her face

When Rama decides to abandon Sita, he sends her with Lakshmana. Sita oblivious to the real reasons is puzzled until they reach the banks of the river

निरीक्ष्य मा ऽद्य गच्छ त्वमृतुकालातिवर्तिनीम् ।।
"You will have to bear witness to my character when it is assailed in future. LOOK AT ME, I have the promise of Rama's love in me"

In response to Sita's request, Lakshmana utters one of the most profoundly touching and immensely powerful responses...

Venkatachala Hill
Maha Vishnu wished for the mountain Krida / Krida Parvatham / Kridhachalam from Vaikunta to be brought to the earth for his avataram.
This was brought to earth by Garuda and Ananta & placed it on banks of river Swarna Mukhi

This is where current Tirumala temple is located. The fact that this was transported from Vaikunta is apparently a scientifically proven fact.
The scientific dating of the sedimentary rocks have confirmed the date to be around 120 million years ago..

This timeline coincides with Swayambhu Manu manvanthara of the Sweta Varaha Kalpa which is the time when Swamy descended on earth in the form of Venkateshwara Swamy.
From a survey of flora and fauna, they have found rare species of plants & animals like golden gecko..

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
