Do you know about Nijapada darshanam at Tirumala..?

Nijapada Darshanam Seva is one of the weekly rituals for Prabhu Srinivasa in Tirumala. This Nijapada Seva attracts the thousands of devotees to see Bhagwan Venkateswara swamy Feet without any ornaments.
@LostTemple7

On every Friday, Prabhu's main murti can see in the simple along with white dhoti.

Archana anantara darshan on Friday is called Nijapada Darshanam. Normally the feet are covered with Tulsi leaves. But on Friday after performing Abhishekam to Venkateswara...

👇👇

the feet are left without Tulsi leaves during which Nijapada Darshanam is held which allows devotees to see the feet of Venkateshwara. This is a paid service where the
devotees are allowed until Kulasekhara padi.

👇👇

Prabhu can give darshan to devotees without Tirunamam. The Tirunamam is camphor after the Nijapada seva. Vishnu Padam holds the special place in Hinduism.

👇👇

For this Nijapada Darshanam, nearly 1000 devotees are allowed to see Srinivasa. After this darshanam Prabhu will erase the illness and problems of Devotees and also bless them with good fortune.

4. WTF?
Yoichi Shimatsu now brazenly accuses one of Japan's top microbiologists, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, of engineering SARS-COV-2 by inserting "HIV force multipliers", similar to his earlier work at University of Wisconsin on Influenza and HIV back in 2011.
https://t.co/ZhhZWnuKow

"I learned of Kawaoka's reckless violations of science ethics from Robert Finnegan, former editor of Jakarta Post, who was tracking theft of MERS & other virus samples from NAMRU-2 by a senior local lab technician who personally smuggled the dangerous materials to Wisconsin Uni"

"a decade ago at his lab in Wisconsin with generous funding from Japanese state institutions, Kawaoka was developing an "unstoppable flu", secretly derived from an illegal exhumation of the Arctic frozen corpse of an Alaskan native who died in the 1918-19 influenza pandemic"

Exhibit B is a 2011 research paper by Y. Kawaoka et al at his animal virology lab at University of Wisconsin:
"HIV reverse-binding protein is essential for influenza A virus replication & promotes genome-trafficking in late-stage

Favourite quote:
"The lawless pharmaceuticals, insane vaccinators & rogue microbiologists must be stopped in their tracks or humanity will face its final solution.
High-ranking sponsors in government & major corporations also should be indicted & appropriately punished by judges"

Central banks will create plug and play digital infrastructure (e.g. UPI, Aadhar) on which fintech products are built

Did you know?

Rani Bhabani was the Queen of Natore, Bengal or 'Natorer Rani' as she was famously called. She made great contributions in Tarapith & renovated Benaras.

In Varanasi, Durga Kund Mandir was constructed by Rani Bhabani in the 18th century.

Born in Chhatimgram village, Bogra District,Her father's name was Atmaram Choudhury.Bhabani was married off to Raja Ramkanta Moitra,the then zamindar of Rajshahi.After his death, Bhabani became the zamindar, and started being referred to as Rani.She was known as Ardhabangeshwari.

A woman as a zamindar was extremely rare in those days, but Rani Bhabani managed the vast Rajshahi zamindari most efficiently and effectively for over four decades.
Maharani Bhavani was very pious in her personal life. She passed her life in a strict disciplined way.

She conducted the administrative work skillfully. As a Maharani she was an impartial judge. Rani Bhavani had a very hard time during the fag end of her life. The Zamindari (estate) incurred serious loss due to the change of the revenue policy of the company.

In spite of being the owner of a large Zamindari (estate), she had to depend on the stipend of the government in the later part of her life. The amount of this stipend gradually decreased and became Rs. 1000/- only in the end.

Good books are a smooth read.
The great ones aren't.

Why so? 🤔

They force you to pause,to reflect & think hard.
They make you question yourself.

Sharing few of my takeaways from one such exceptional book of 2021.

Thank you @naval & @EricJorgenson for this ! :))

A 🧵

2/21
🔹Productize Yourself

Meaning,
Leverage specific knowledge -> Scale it -> Get wealthy.

Takes decades as one needs time to figure out what they can UNIQUELY provide.

But FIND & BUILD SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE for it can't be taught & can only be learnt.

"The best jobs are neither decreed or degreed.They are creative expressions of continuous learners in free markets."

Be a perpetual learner.
Know HOW to learn.

Foundations are the key.
They help learn HOW & HOW MUCH.
Club this with Authenticity to create something unique.

4/21
🔹Play long term games with long term people

🔹99% effort is wasted.
However they are not a waste.
These are merely learning experiences that delve deep into our psyche & become a piece of what we currently are.

Same goes for the books we read, the activities we pursue!

5/21
"If you don't own a piece of business, you don't have a path towards Financial Freedom."

Ownership matters. Put that money to work sensibly. Let it compound too.

"Forget rich vs poor, white collar vs blue.
It is now Leveraged vs Un-leveraged."

The Feynman Technique—how to learn anything:

The Feynman Technique is a foundational learning method that prioritizes simplicity and depth of understanding.

It was developed by Richard Feynman—an American theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his groundbreaking work in quantum electrodynamics.

So yes, you could say that Richard Feynman was intelligent...

But there are a lot of intelligent people in the world.

Feynman's true genius was found in his ability to convey extremely complex ideas in simple, elegant, digestible ways.

He had observed that complexity and jargon are often used to mask a lack of deep understanding.

As a rule:

If someone uses a lot of acronyms, complexity, and jargon to explain something to you, they probably don’t understand it.

We've all encountered this type of "expert"...

The Feynman Technique is a learning framework that forces you to develop a deep, elegant understanding of a given topic.

It involves four key steps:
(1) Set the Stage
(2) ELI5 (Explain It To Me Like I'm 5)
(3) Assess & Study
(4) Organize, Convey & Review

Let's cover each step:

Chaos Agent Steve Bannon announces his creation of a new MAGA cryptocurrency called ‘FJB.’ “This is eventually going to be used as a means of transactions, you’re going to have an alternate currency .. You’re going to very quickly have no reliance on their financial system.”

Additional info.

In same broadcast, Bannon said that “a portion” of the proceeds he takes in will be donated to the J6 prisoners and their families, the ‘Widows and Orphans Fund,’ and the Police Benevolent Association. (Like his promise to fund completion of the border wall with his last venture)

All the usual suspects are bellying up to the trough to get a piece of the action fleecing the gullible MAGA rubes. It not just a coin, it’s a community!

How to create a successful SaaS from scratch.

Steal the process I've used to build 5 $10k+ MRR SaaS's.

🧵 THREAD 🧵

#1 Find a problem

Problems are everywhere.

Everyone has one:

>> Agency Owners
>> Coaches
>> Freelancers

All you have to do is Investigate, ask Qs and deep dive into a niche.

Then find a painful problem that people wouldn't mind paying money to get rid of.

#2 Find an existing solution

This one is the easiest part of the process.

Here's what to do instead:

Go to Google and search for "[Problem] + software".

Compare the available solutions.

Pick the best one.

#3 Reverse engineer how it works

Break down the solution in it's core components.

Most SaaS are structured this way:

>> Database
>> Back-end
>> API
>> Front-end

This is easier if you already know programming.

But if you don't, you can pay someone to break it down for you.

#4 Make it better

Think of ways to make it better.

See what the current solution is lacking and fix it:

>> Is it too slow? Make it faster
>> Is it too ambiguous? Make it simpler
>> Does it lack features? Add them

The thing is to add VALUE to your solution.

22 startup principles to scale your company in 2022:

1) The obstacle is the way

Every hard problem you solve is a moat that others will shrink from.

Most people don’t have the stamina for hard work.

Challenges completed are insurance policies against competition.

2) Sell your story, not your product

Your company isn’t a product, it’s a story.

Great stories attract great employees and great customers.

Sell your story.

3) Focus on leverage

Points of leverage are areas where inputs can disproportionally affect outputs:

- A better conversion funnel impacts all sales
- A better sales process impacts all revenue
- A better onboarding process reduces churn

4) Focus on customers, not competitors

Success comes down to whether people will pay you to solve their problems.

Competitive intelligence is useful to understand where other attempts to solve a problem fall short.

But the customer’s actions speak loudest.

#समुद्र_मंथन से प्राप्त #चौदह_रत्नों का #रहस्य :- (First Part)
यह वह समय था, जब देवगण पृथ्वी पर रहते थे। पृथ्वी पर वे हिमालय के उत्तर में रहते थे। कार्य था पृथ्वी का निर्माण करना तथा उसको रहने हेतु उपयुक्त बनाना और पृथ्वी पर मानव सहित अन्य प्रजातियों (जीवों) का विस्तार करना।

देवताओं के साथ यहाँ दैत्य भी निवास करते थे। तब पृथ्वी मात्र एक द्वीप ही थी, अर्थात पृथ्वी का एक ही भाग जल से बाहर निकला हुआ था। यह भी बहुत छोटा-सा भाग था। जल के बीचो बीच था मेरू पर्वत।

पृथ्वी के विस्तार और इस पर विविध प्रकार के...

जीवन निर्माण के लिए देवताओं के भी इष्ट ब्रह्मा, विष्णु तथा महेश ने लीला रची और उन्होंने देवगण तथा दैत्यगण की शक्त्ति का उपयोग कर समुद्र मंथन कराया। समुद्र मंथन कराने के लिए सर्वप्रथम कारण निर्मित किया गया।

ऋषि दुर्वासा ने अपना अपमान होने के कारण...

देवराज इन्द्र को ‘श्री’ (लक्ष्मी ) से हीन हो जाने का शाप दे दिया।

भगवान श्री हरि विष्णु ने इंद्र को शाप-मुक्त्ति के लिए दैत्यों के साथ 'समुद्र मंथन' के लिए कहा और दैत्यों को अमृत का लालच दिया। इस तरह हुआ समुद्र मंथन।

यह समुद्र था क्षीर सागर जिसे आज हिन्द महासागर कहते हैं।

जब देवताओं तथा दैत्यों ने समुद्र मंथन आरंभ किया, तब भगवान विष्णु ने कच्छप बनकर मंथन में भाग लिया।

वे समुद्र के बीचो बीच में स्थिर हो गये और उनके ऊपर रखा गया मंदराचल पर्वत। फिर वासुकी नाग को रस्सी बनाकर एक ओर से देवता और दूसरी ओर से दैत्यों ने समुद्र का मंथन करना प्रारंभ कर दिया।

Do you know?

The Battle of Hydaspes (326 BC) was one of the world's most fiercest battles ever fought.

The Battle of Hydaspes was fought between Alexander the Great of Macedonia and the great King Porus of Paurava.

On his campaign to conquer Asia, Alexander the Great had captured the Persian Empire. He then set his eyes upon India. His conquest of India, initially, went rather unchallenged. He gained several allies as well. The courageous King Porus, however, refused Alexander’s alliance.

He challenged him to a battle that would, later on, become one of the world’s most fiercest and deadly battles.
King Porus ruled the territory lying in between the rivers of Jhelum and Chenab. It was important for Alexander to defeat Porus in order to continue with his conquest.

Indian King Ambhi, the ruler of Taxila sided with the Greek ruler to fight against Porus. The Battle of Hydaspes took place on the banks of the Hydaspes River (Jhelum) in Punjab, modern-day Pakistan.

Alexander set up his camp near a town on the right bank of the river.

As Alexander’s men advanced towards their goal, King Porus’s army confronted them at a fjord on the Hydaspes River. Numerically, both the forces were almost equal. However, while Alexander had an advantage in terms of cavalry, Porus had the strength of around 200 war elephants.
