"Chilkur Balaji Deity in response to archaka supreme sacrifice on the bell of Alampur temple in 2001 (Now in Telangana State) made His temple the ground zero for the movement against the draconian 30/87 AP Endowments Act

AP Archaka Samakhya by supporting Chilkur Balaji Art 26 #DeityRightsMovement today repaying debt of Archaka community to Lord Chilkur Balaji Deity who protected our rights when the Society failed in its dharmik duty & left Archakas to fend for themselves

Dec 8th 2001 also marks the day when Lord Chilkur Balaji Deity reinforced the dharmik message of pious purpose of a Deity's incarnation which is to increase devotion in devotees leading to Moksha not income from them the prevalent purpose of Secular Govt control of Hindu temples.

The pious purpose of Hindu Deity incarnation is not for increasing income of Endowments Department officials& political trust boards it is to increase devotion in devotees.
It is time for reclaim of the pious purpose through Art 26 rights of Hindu


It is time for devotees represent to His Excellency @rashtrapatibhvn to use his powers under Art 78(C) w Art 60 and protect the pious purpose of incarnation of Hindu Deities by helping reclaim lost Art 26 Hindu Deity Rights and secure protection of
It’s a harsh and unfortunate truth that Hindus and the #RW take immense pride in flaunting the #Hindutva flag, but a major chunk is extremely under-informed.

Out of more than 1000 Bhartiya Books that have been digitised by
https://t.co/ipxQnePukH, many in RW haven’t even read one of them. This can be said as the #SuperficialRW that has no depth of clarity of thought.

We request such RW folks to not take this as mockery, but something more serious and something that should be worked upon. Beginning with Bhagvad Geeta can be a good first step towards a sincere reading of many such notable Bhartiya books.

India’s youth and even their parents have been brainwashed over several decades. And, when we say India, we mean the native Bhartiyas, not the invaders.

The brainwashing over the years has somewhere, subconsciously led to a deep sense of inferiority complex, especially among the Hindus. It is quite evident when Hindu kids do not take a sense of pride in wearing Rudraksh or Tilak to their schools.

Friends. Some months ago I had shared the idea that acclaimed writer & translator Musharraf Ali Farooqi & I had to excavate, annotate & print in high quality a classic of world literature – Tilism-e-Hoshruba. I had also shared why this magical piece of work has tremendous 1/


literary, cultural & civilizational significance for us & why it needs to be made available in a much more authentic, approachable & attractive form. Together we, therefore, put together Project Hoshruba to take this forward. Project Hoshruba website now up. 2/


And here's the link:

Out 1st target was to raise Rs. 3 Million through a group of select Friends of Hoshruba whom we approached based on our perception that they would not just be supportive of such a cause but that the cause 3/


would gain from support of such people not merely financially but in multifarious ways, given their acumen & achievements, public mindedness, the value they attach to literature, culture & the arts, & their commitment in general to noble causes.

I must confess that despite 4/


being confident we were simply overwhelmed by their positivity & generosity. All it took was just 1 short conversation. We're delighted & proud they have put their trust in this endeavor & will further guide & facilitate us to take Project Hoshruba to successful completion 5/
Excellent thread by Rabbi Reuvane about the level (or lack thereof) of Jewish literacy amongst Progressive American Jews. It speaks directly to a conversation I was having yesterday with a congregant in his 20s. He recently started attending Chabad shiurim, and loves them. 1/10


He was baffled by his Jewish education topping out at the Babylonian and Roman exiles. He was enthralled with the lives of the early Rabbis, and how Jewish intellectual culture developed over the centuries. There was more than a little bit of anger at what he'd been deprived. 2/

I had the same experience when I did my MA in Hebrew Bible at JTS. I grew up very involved in my synagogue through high school, and went on the Alexander Muss program in Israel. I came out of all that not even knowing what the Mishna or the Talmud were, and I'm a good student. 3/

My honest appraisal is that most of our Progressive synagogues were created to be institutions that helped new Jewish immigrant families integrate into American culture, and we haven't shifted from that. My one quibble with @RabbiReuvane is with the de-assimilation piece. 4/

It's not about de-assimilation, but re-integration. Our institutions broadly accomplished the goal of helping folks like my Ashki great grandparents and their descendants gain access to mainstream acceptance just like other white European immigrant groups in America. 5/
