Dopamine, SM and Addiction

#Thread

Please check where you fit and act accordingly.

‘Like’ it or not, using social media can cause anxiety, depression, and other health challenges.

A study performed by California State University found that individuals that visited any social media site at least 58 times per week were 3 times more likely to feel socially isolated and depressed compared to those who used social media fewer than 9 times per week.

How does SM affect our brain?

According to a new study by Harvard University, self-disclosure on social networking sites lights up the same part of the brain that also ignites when taking an addictive substance.

The reward area in the brain and its chemical messenger pathways affect decisions & sensations. 

When someone experiences something rewarding or uses an addictive substance, neurons in the principal dopamine-producing areas in the brain are activated & dopamine levels rise.

Therefore, the brain receives a “reward” and associates the drug or activity with positive reinforcement.

This is observable in SM usage; when an individual gets a notification, such as a like or mention, the brain receives a rush of dopamine & sends it along reward pathways,

Thread on debunking a claim that Maa Radha is fake/illusionary

One of the texts that mentions Maa radha is Garga Samhita ( A treatise written on Lord Krishna's life by sage Garg)

In this maa radha says that her darshan is rare

Garg Samhita Further mentions Rādhā-Krishna Vivah

Another interesting event from Garg Samhita 😁

Shreeya Singh, a student at Yale University, has started working for the Biden-Harris campaign as a media-associate. We have deep concerns about this given Shreeya’s connections with Hinduphobia, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism. She is one of the founders of @Students_A_H and

'Holi against Hindutva', a campaign that was and is deeply Hinduphobic as it falsely defamed & misappropriated a Hindu festival based on academically and religiously inaccurate interpretations of Hindu texts.
Moreover, the appropriation of this very important festival, not just

to Hindu Americans but also Hindus worldwide, for her and other people's political agenda is simply immoral, unethical, and Hinduphobic.
Coming to Islamophobia, Shreeya Singh is on record speaking positively about China and her “humbling” experience there that has positively

changed “a lot of different things” about “my view of China”. This was said well after reports came in speaking about the unspeakable tragedies and concentration camps that China was inflicting on the Muslim Community.

It’s also worth asking as the Biden campaign comes under fire for enabling Islamophobia if this hire further perpetuates it.
Regarding anti-Semitism, Ms. Shreeya Singh has also been seen at protests holding a picture of Adolf Hitler being compared to India's PM, a nation with

Proud #Shudras
Inscription from 1345 CE of Shudra King Vema Reddy who takes pride in being a Shudra and having been born out of the feet of Vishnu.
He even says he restored the agraharas of the Brahmanas after they had been taken away by the Mμslim kings.

King Singa Nayaka takes pride in saying that the Shudras were born from the feet of Ishvara and their duty was to serve the other 3 varnas.
He says that Shudras were born along with the Ganga which springs from Vishnu's feet.
They are ever attached to their duties and pure.

Did you know?

The Bamiyan Buddhas are famous throughout the world.

Did you know that the Bamiyan Buddhas had a gold covering until 9th century? They were adorned with precious gems.

Did you know that the Bamiyan Buddhas were built by a HINDU king?

[Thread]

Who built Bamiyan Buddha?

There lies a painting of the king who sponsored the construction of Bamiyan Buddhas inside Bamiyan caves.

The name of the king who built Bamiyan Buddhas was Narendraditya Khingila(6th-7th century CE).

He was the same king who worshiped Gardez Ganesha

Khingila consecrated a temple for Ganesha in Gardez, Afghanistan.

The temple has not survived.

However, the Ganesha image has been moved out of Gardez and is now at Pir Rattan temple, Kabul (the same temple whose priest is Pandit Rajesh Kumar, the last Hindu of Afghanistan)

When Xuanzang visited Bamiyan (c. 629 CE) , the Buddhas were standing in full glory.

Xuanzang describes the larger standing Buddha as follows
-
"It is 140-150 meters high. It is of a dazzling gold color. It is resplendent with ornamentations of precious substances"

During this period, the clothes of Buddha were very brightly colored. The larger buddha was clothed in red and the smaller Buddha in white.

And this coloring survived until recently.

This is why Muslims named larger Buddha as "Surkh But"(red idol) and the smaller as "Khing But"

Do you know that Indian Police Foundation (IPF), a non-profit org that consists of serving/retired top cops from all streams, bureaucrats & having a variety of associations with the public figures including a few NGO that have been a national security challenge?

This is going to be a long thread with a brief intro of some people, orgs & then crucial factors.

The thread consists lot of snapshots, recommended to have quick look while scrolling down.

Before you read ahead, understand the thought process behind writing the thread. (P1)

IPF, a NGO, was formed in 2015, largely conceptualized upon ‘SMART’ policing vision by Hon'ble PM. It is a think-tank of public/police/govt top-notches to collaborate for police reform/well-being, which is being said that largely operates from BPRD, Home Ministry premises.

The Executive Committee & General Council is power-hub of 50+ rtd/serving IAS/IPS/TopGovtBureaucrats/ CorporatePlayers/ Editors and ultra high-profile dignitaries, captured in P1, P2, P3.

Pls spend 2 min to understand the profiling.

Most of the credible dignitaries don't need deep insight into the solid construction of the NGO.

Let's look into noticeable members:

Allopanishad is not part of our Upanishads, it was written during the Mughal time when Akhbar ordered a converted brahmin to write Upanishad and name it as "Allopanishad" to show Allαh is great and supremαcy of Islαm to infidels
later this book was used by Gandhi.

Kindly don't fall for such books, and don't promote such books.

There are 20 chapters in Atharva Veda, none of the chapters have the name of Allαh or any trace of Islαm.

Allopanishad has both Arabic and Sanskrit words, while our Upanishad is only of the Sanskrit language.

Words like "Asmαllαm" "ille" are mentioned in Allopanishad, Which is totally against the grammar Vedas grammar.
The book was purposely made to the supremacy of islαm. kindly don't promote or support such fraudulently created book.

Gandhiji used the Allopanishad to teach
"All God is same, the only name is different" or "Ishwar Allαh are same"

Secularised Mahatma 😏

Story of bhagwan greatest devotee Kannappa Nayanar (thinnan) many of us even knows about him that how he used to worship mahadev & how mahadev appeared & blessed him for being greatest bhakta of mahadev ,here is thread of this divine story (1/18)

Nagan was a tribal chief in the jungle area of Potthapi. He and his wife Thaththai didn’t have children for a very long time and were praying to bhagwan Karttikeya .They were blessed with a son whom they named Thinnan. (2/18)

Thinnan grew up to be a reputed archer in his tribe; he often led his people on hunting expeditions. On one such hunt, Thinnan was separated from his friends chasing a wild boar and found himself in an unknown part of the jungle. Trying to find his way out.. (3/18)

he came across a shrine dedicated to bhagwan Shiva. He had never seen anything like this before and had the uncontrollable urge to stay back with the bhagwan. He was unaware about the puja vidhi of mahadev (4/18)

told his friend to cook the boar which he hunted and then he offered it to the mahadev. He also requested his them to inform his parents about his intention to stay in the forest .This shrine called Thirukalahasti, was a very ancient one cared for by a brahman pujari (5/18)

Since Tharoor has let the feline out of the Fendi, here are some of his daily routines that we know now.

* Perform Surya Namaskār so that the Sun has to rise
* Survey land to find out patches where not even a blade of grass grows
* Concoct new dishes by adding paneer to them

On the last one there's an adorable legend about Nehru that even Nehru would be surprised if he hears about it.

Nehru, rooted to the ground beneath his feet, was a nationalist at heart. While toying with green peas in his salad, he had an idea about national integration. Paneer.

Nehru, using his tremendous knowledge while discovering India (this was post-Independence, so no need to use _____), said that paneer could bind the nation together.

So he suggested adding paneer to dishes across India: paneer parantha, paneer pakoda, paneer idli, paneer khaman.

In an era when culinary creativity was a flatland, it was Nehru who raised the lone peak by adding paneer to biriyani, bisibele bath, basundi, uthappam, undhiyu, and sambar.

Soon, paneer began to proliferate with a culinary concupiscence (Tharoor's own words) not seen elsewhere.

Nehru, ever the international man of history, also realized the importance of paneer against the growing Chinese influence of tofu.

In a courageous display of cultural takeover through culinary conquest, Nehru added paneer to dumplings, fried rice, noodles. India 1. China 0.
