Ashta Siddhi

Ashta Siddhi is mentioned in Patanjali Yog sutra and can be obtained by very few through countless years of practice and devotion to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

Siddhi can loosely be translated as accomplishment or a special power or unusual skill.

The eight Siddhis are:

1. Anima: Reducing one’s physical self to the size of an atom.

2. Mahima: Expanding one’s physical self to infinite level

3. Garima: Making one’s physical self so heavy as immovable by others

4. Laghima: Becoming almost weightless

5. Prapti: Being able travel anywhere in the Universe

6. Prakamya: Can know & understand what is going on in one’s mind. Can understand other person’s min.

7. Ishitva: Possessing title of Bhagwan

8. Vashitva: A seeker can subdue any person/thing

(Hanuman Jayanti is coming)

Hanumanji not only possessed all eight siddhis, but was also blessed by Sita mata as “Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata”.

When Hanumanji first reaches to Lanka on his mission to find Sita, he makes use of anima so as to be discrete in enemy territory.

He uses it again when he approaches Sita mata for the first time – reducing his size to that of a schoolboy, to avoid scaring her. He uses mahima to outwit & overpowers
the demons.

#Thread on Toolkit for Hindus

1. Connect yourself to a Hindu cause irrespective of the state, language, caste or creed. Remember that day isn't far when we might become minority without minority status.

2. Since we are all called Sanghis, no harm visiting the nearest RSS shakha once.

3. Countering Radic@l Isl@m is a must. They are spreading like termites.

Please visit my pinned thread on J!hadists. Be alert and cautious.

Check @jihadwatchRS and his videos for detailed information.

4. Reading about our past scriptures, vedas and countering false propaganda with proper logic and evidence.

Some of us have already started digging real history, vedas, Gita, etc. Please read the complete thread and then RT. Remember FOLLOWERS IS NOT THE MAIN GOAL.

5. Celebrating all Hindu festivals openly and without any guilt and following the rituals. Wearing a thread around the wrist, using rudraksh malas, wearing bindis, should be made as a trend.

I wear a small ganesha pendant around my neck. Show your identity openly.

Indians are famouspfor Jugaad.

Most parents are worried about their child and always make sure that they aren't addicted to drugs.

Each one listed below is addictive and has several side effects.

So let me tell you the 'jugaad'

1. Iodex Sandwiches

Applying a generous amount of Iodex balm on a slice of bread making the grossest sandwich ever! But they eat it as it gives them a certain high & makes them feel light headed.

2. Drinking hand sanitizer/after shave lotions

One large bottle of hand sanitiser contains alcohol equivalent to 32 vodka shots!

3. Inhaling whiteners (liquid)/ink/deodorants

Again it gives a high. The habit might begin with a friend suggesting a way to relax after a rigorous period of studying or from information gleaned online or from the peer group.

DR RAMENDRA LAL MUKHERJEE @ramendralalmukh

Four-year-old Ramendra was at his grandfather’s home, taking an afternoon nap, during one summer holiday. All the doors were closed, and the curtains had been drawn, leaving the room drenched in darkness,

but for a single beam of sunlight streaming in through the crack in the door. The wall, like a cinema screen, came alive to depict the noisy world outside. As Ramendra’s family slept—lorries, cows, people and trees—everything was visible. The room had become a pin-hole camera.

The afternoon siesta was now all but forgotten, as Ramendra rushed to see if what he saw could be replicated on a smaller scale. He picked up his grandmother’s white coloured cough syrup box and a safety pin from his mother.

He punched one small hole on one side of the box for the light to be able to enter and made a larger hole on top to see inside the box. Lo and behold, he could see the trees, people, lorries and cows inside this tiny camera.

Dr Mukherjee lives in Howrah with his wife and son and is known as a “serial inventor”, with over 30 internationally patented inventions to his name so far. Some of these include a lie detector, a stone analyser, an electronic ENT scope,

Morarji Desai(MD) #Thread

Our late Prime Minister Morarji Desai blew India’s most critical covert operation, fully compromised our secret services, & helped Pak make the “Islamic bomb”.

MD a staunch follower of Gandhian philosophies, was a morally corrupt man.

2/8

India’s Pokhran test in 1974 triggered the arms race between India & Pak. Being very wary of India’s fledging nuclear capabilities, Pak sought any help needed to build nuclear weapons for itself.

3/8

Operation Kahuta, one of the deadliest missions of RAW was launched in 1974 with the motive to locate and confirm the existence of the Pak’s secret weapons program.

It took around a decade for RAW to build a network within Pak under the leadership of RN Kao.

4/8

Priority of RAW was to pin point the location of the missile production facility. It is important to remember that Pak kept this so close under wraps that even with the extensive network, RAW got only rumours.

RAW established a good network inside Pakistan by late 1970’s.

5/8

RAW heard rumours about Kahuta plant.

A stunning intelligence operation was carried out by RAW in which they stole the hair samples from the barber shops in Kahuta where the nuclear scientists would come for hair cut.

The samples were analysed for radiation traces.

Have anyone heard of Savarkar working for untouchables and opening a temple in Ratnagiri?

When Savarkar was under house arrest at Ratnagiri (Maharashtra), he toiled hard and persistently, for decades, to eliminate casteism (Jaat-based discrimination).

Result? Well, as Ambedkar himself noted, because of Savarkar's work Ratnagiri district and parts of Konkan were totally free of caste-based discrimination.

(We were always taught of Gandhi fighting for untouchables 😏)

He organised community feasts where people of all castes sat together and ate, he got temples opened for all castes, where properly trained priests from, what were traditionally considered, lower castes presided, he got thread-ceremony (Upanayana) performed on

thousands of ex-untouchable children, to raise the status of women in their own eyes and those of the society, he organized gatherings for women. There are hundred other things Savarkar did to end casteism.

Savarkar had said, "The Kashi Vishweshwara, Jagannath Puri, Dwarka, Rameshwar and other temples should be subject to certain rules and regulations, open to darshan for all Hindus of all castes. No Hindu shall be denied access on the basis of birth - based caste distinction.

Flamingos

Thousands of flamingos migrate to Mumbai every year between the months of October & March before flying out around June.

They arrive from the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat and Sambhar Lake in Rajasthan, some even from Iran and Israel.

A census by the Bombay Natural History Society in January 2019 had counted 1,21,000  flamingos in Mumbai then.

Besides the Navi Mumbai creek, environmentalists have noticed a huge flock of flamingos at Thane Creek, Uran, Panju Island and Vasai, as well.

One major problem is obviously the destruction of wetlands. This thread isn't about that.

From around 2016 onwards, the local fishermen started spotting injured and wounded flamingos mainly in the parts of Uran, ( Raigad) and Palghar (infamously famous).

Flamingos with broken legs, broken body parts, clipped wings, etc. The aim is to make them handicapped. Once they become handicapped, it's easy to capture them and sell their meat. They are considered to be a great delicacy.

And most of these are killed and sold as 'special chicken meat'.

Flamingos are our guests and in India, we believe in अतिथि देवो भवः!

#Thread on #Savarkar

Most historians - British as well as Indian, have described and dismissed the rising of 1857 as a ‘Sepoy Mutiny’ or at best ‘The Indian Mutiny’.

We all have read it in the similar fashion in our History Textbooks too.

Whereas several revolutionaries and freedom fighters regarded this as a strategy that was well planned, & organised to destroy the British power in India.

#Savarkar was the one who looked at it from the Indian perspective.

Being a revolutionary himself, he was inspired by the bravery, heroism, the burning passion, suffering and the unfortunate tragic fate of the leaders in 1857.

He decided to change the British and the Indian narrative about 1857.

He spent days and months in the 'India Office' library in London and accordingly wrote a book in Marathi in 1908.

He found it impossible to publish this in India and the original manuscript was returned to him back. He tried publishing the same in Germany but in vain.

Some Indian students at India House translated this in English and he could finally publish it in Holland in 1909 (almoat a year after he finished writing the book) under the title :

“THE INDIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE –1857”

Jassa Singh - The man who rebuilt Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple)

In 1762, Punjab was fighting for freedom. Ahmad Shah Abdali (Durrani) was the karta dharta of Punjab in those days.

1762 was known for Sikh genocide/massacre as 25k - 30k sikhs (expected either 1/3rd or half the population of Sikhs) were slaughtered at Kup.

Ahmad Shah Durrani was part of a long line of conquerors that invaded Punjab since Mahmud of Ghazni in 1001.

Ahmad Shah then marched to Sri Harmandir Sahib & blew it up using gunpowder without leaving a single brick intact.

Too sprinkle salt on their wounds he filled the holy tank with the carcasses of dead cows. (Can Sikhs of today forget this?)

This boosted Ahmad Shah's confidence.

Around Diwali, he decided to finish off the Sikhs at Lahore with his 50000 Afghan soldiers.

The Sikhs were waiting to take revenge. They charged the Afghans with their war cry "Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguruji ki fateh" and forced Ahmad Shah to draw off his army.

Once in 1761, Ahmad Shah was returning triumphant after winning the third battle of Panipat against Marathas. He was taking his booty of 22000 hindu and muslim women to be sold in Afghanistan.

Jassa Singh rescued these women and gallantly escorted them to their families.

#SnanaJatra

Jagannath Bhagwan symbolises Bhagwan Krishna/Bhagwan Vishnu. He is the Ishtadevta/Kuldevta for many.

After all who's he? Jagannath is a combination of two words - Jagat (world) and nath (Bhagwan/master); in short Bhagwan of the Universe.

He's also known as "Sarbam Rahasyam Purusottamasya” which denotes the origin of Purusottama Jagannath is mysterious and enigmatic.

His black face represents the void and he dwells in Mahashunya.

He's a simple crude wooden idol with two wooden stumps as hands, conspicuous absence of legs with two big round eyes indicating sun and moon emerging from a big black face which symbolizes the Universe. He is worshiped as the Daru-Brahma.

The word Daru is derived from Da-Dukha or sorrow and Ru-to give.

During the #SNANAPURNIMA , 108 copper and gold pots are filled with water from suna kuan (golden well) and kept on the bhoga mandap. These vessels are brought to snana bedi on this day.

This ritual is called Jalad Hibasa. The dieties are first offered red powder, & then taken to #snana bedi, their bodies covered with silk clothes. Pouring of water is accompanied by chanting of Pavamana.

Thread on #RealHeroesofIndia

Murlidhar Devidas Amte was the eldest son of Devidas and Laxmibai Amte. His father Devidas was a powerful bureaucrat with the pre-independence British administration and a wealthy landowner in the Wardha district.

Being the first child of an affluent family, Muralidhar was never denied a single thing by his parents since childhood.

His parents lovingly called him ‘Baba’ and the name stuck with him. At a very young age, Baba owned a gun and used to hunt wild boar and deer.

Later, he went on to own an expensive sports car, cushioned with panther skin.

Baba studied law and earned his LLB degree from Law College in Wardha. He set up a law practice in his native town which soon became successful.

One day, he stumbled upon a a bundle of rags which was moving. On closer inspection, he was a human in his last stage of leprosy. Rotting mass of human flesh, only holes instead of nostrils, no trace of fingers or toes.

At first, Baba fled in fear; later, he returned, realizing that the only way to mitigate the fear he felt was to replace it with love. It was a turning point in his life.

He had no idea about leprosy and its treatment.

Brutal truth about Aur@ngzeb!

1. He was a religious bigøt, cunning and cruel to H!ndus.

He was keen that the sh@ri@ or Isl@mic law be followed everywhere.

H!ndu religious fairs were outlawed in 1668, and an edict of the following year prohibited construction of Hindu temples as well as the repair of old ones. 

The duty (internal customs fees) paid on goods was 2.5%, double the amount was levied on H!ndu merchants from 1665 onwards

2. According to one historical source, elephants were deployed to crush the resistance in the area surrounding the Red Fort of H!ndus who refused to submit to jiziya collectors.

Source:

3. Aurangzeb’s ultimate aim was conversion of non-Musl!ms to Isl@m. Whenever possible the emperor gave out robes of honor, cash gifts, and promotions to converts. It quickly became known that conversion was a sure way to the emperor’s favor.

4. Aurangzeb as a ferocious destroyer of H!ndu temples and idols.

He did not just build an isolated mosque on a destroyed temple, he ordered all temples to be destroyed, among them the Kashi Vishwanath temple, one of the most sacred places of H!nduism.

🌼Story of understanding the untold🌼

After discovering Sitamata, Hanuman and his army were travelling to Kishkinda. Madhuvana, Sugriva's private garden came in between. The complete garden was filled with beehives and several juicy fruits.

This was very well guarded by a monkey called Dadimukha. Dadhimukha was sitting in front of this garden at 4 doors. Only Sugriva was allowed in.

So the monkeys while returning, wanted some fun in Madhuvana and enjoy honey there. They expressed this to Hanuman.

Hanuman wasn't for this idea as it would indicate to Sugriva their victory.

But Jambavan and the other monkeys wanted to enjoy after so much hard work. So they entered Madhuvana.

All the monkeys started drinking honey and polishing off the juicy fruits in the garden.

Dadimukha immediately ran to Sugriva and complained that his uncle Jambavan and defence minister Hanuman both were useless. They have entered Madhuvana and are destroying all the fruits.

Not only that when Dadimukha tried to prevent them, they all attacked him and other guards.

Bhagwan Rama, Lakshman and Sugriva were all together in this hall.
Lakshman got annoyed and asked Sugriva about this.

Sugriva patiently responded by saying Dadimukha is complaining about Angad and his army of monkeys along with Jambavan.

"When the Dalit Icon Came Out in Support of the Hindutva Icon"

Most Indians saw assassination of Gandhi as a national tragedy. But Nehru saw it as a stupendous opportunity to eliminate his arch political rival, Savarkar, the icon of Hindutva, who was revered by millions.

What Nehru feared most was resurgence of Hinduism. And the appeal of Savarkar’s Hindutva philosophy and his mass following was a sword hanging for ever on Nehru’s head. Nehru decided to have it removed, once and for all, by implicating Savarkar in Gandhi’s murder.

Accordingly, he got Savarkar arrested on Feb 6, 1948 , without any specific charge, under the Preventive Detention Act.

When Gandhi Murder trial started in Delhi, his lawyer, Bhopatkar was at a loss to know as to how to defend Savarkar against whom no specific charge was laid.

One fine morning, Bhopatkar got called to the phone at the place where he was staying. When he took the call, he discovered that the caller was Dr Ambedkar.

 ‘Please meet me this evening at the sixth milestone on the Mathura Road’ is all that Dr Ambedkar said.

Accordingly, Bhopatkar drove down the Mathura road that evening and found Ambedkar already waiting for him at Milestone 6. Ambedkar motioned Bhopatkar to get into the car which Ambedkar himself was driving.
