Edging God Out
Daniel Goleman coined the term "EQ" (Emotional Quotient) in the mid-1990s. “While computers have IQ & animals can have EQ, it is fundamentally a SQ that sets human beings apart,” 1/n

write Danah Zoher & Ian Marshal in their recent book SQ (Spiritual Quotient): connecting with our spiritual intelligence. 2/n

As a result, in order for the wheel of life to roll smoothly, all of the spokes —IQ, EQ, SQ – must move from gross to subtle, infinite to limited, & tangible to intangible. 3/n

Compassion, completeness, self-esteem, gratitude, the spirit of surrender, service, & the ego are all aspects of SQ. One of the most important aspects of improving SQ is dealing with the ego. 4/n

If not h&led properly, ego issues can cause problems in our personal, social, & professional life. As a result, underst&ing & managing one's own & others' egos is critical for healthier relationships.5/n

#MohiniEkadesi

This is commemorated during Shukla Paksha on Ekadasi 11th day of Vaisakha month. Fasting on this Ekadasi is dedicated to Bhagwan Vishnu. It’s well-known by all devotees that fasting aids in washing away all the sins committed by the people.

Baghwan Vishnu had emerged as Mohini. When Amrit was found during the Samudra Manthan, a question arose between Devtas and Daityas on who could have it. At that point, Vishnu appeared Mohini.

Daityas continued enjoying the grace of Mohini, while the Devtas drank the Amrit at the same time. This is the reason this day is recognized as Mohini Ekadashi.

Baghwan Rama had also the fast of Mohini Ekadashi while looking for Sita, & furthermore by Yudhishthira during Mahabharata. Consequently, their sufferings too were washed away.

So, devote this day to him & get washed out all your past life faults

How did we get to have the vaccination drive kickstarted amidst pressure from LeLi’s.
It’s known that NaMo was keen on having the vaccine made available left Delhi & reached Karnavati, Hyderabad & even Pune to have witnessed the progress of the vaccines that are being made here.

We pretty much know that our vaccination drive started off well as planned by Jan’21, with 4 months gone - we along with, millions of other nations of the world have been given the vaccine manufactured in India.

Year back news came that our PM had come with an Anti-Covid vaccine related task 4ce – precisely by apr’20.
Then by month of May’20 the task-4ce related meeting took place with countries participating, discussing on the vaccine production in India.

By June’20 d committee under direct PM started 2 work on the relevant process, infra, etc. to cover the population under vaccination drive.

Then the preparation of the App CoWin started – with that said the trails were still going on.
We had planned to prepare roughly 30 crore doses & have the same distributed it by Mar’21 prepared by mid of 2020 itself.

Mr. X Children in India would be on fire as a result of the sudden surge of nationalism in India and most other countries around the world as a result of the Olympic Games 2020.

Expect a slew of articles and tweets about how spending money on sports is a waste of money when the main issues are Covid, floods, hunger, and poverty.

Sending girls and boys from poor families to the Olympics for the rich's entertainment is an example of capitalism and oppression of the oppressed.

An examination of how much money the government spent per medal and how many vaccine doses could have been distributed with that money.

How Modi Sarkar has failed to provide us with even a single gold medal despite boasting about having done the best preparation for the big event ever.

Questions from Raita Wing & Youtube producers & social media Hindu !sl@m!c scholars who pump hate every day against people & Modi

WHAT DID MODI ACHIEVE FOR INDIA?
WHAT DID MODI DO FOR HINDUS?
MODI is a big fan of M appeasement.
MODI opposes Hinduism.
Maulana Modi
Modi is Secular

Let's start with the most recent event, but I've explained this nearly 100 times in the last 3/4 years.

Understand the excellent diplomatic work of Late Sushma Ji, MJ Akbar, Gen VK Singh, and S Jaishankar as part of a team led by Modi Ji.

This will also make sense to hyper-Hindus who are perplexed as to why there have been no riots after the Triple Talaq, Ram Temple, and 370. If they have ears to hear,

Conference of the OIC...

How was Prime Minister Imran Khan humiliated at the OIC conference?

At the Conference of !sl@mic Countries, P@k Prime Minister Imran Khan opposed the development of the Ayodhya Ram Temple in India (OIC).

Imran was asked by the UAE, which was hosting the conference. "What is the problem with India erecting a temple in their land for the !sl@mic world?"

Legend of venkateshwara:

Ramanuja asked ananthazhwar to raise a flower garden for lord tirumala hill. Ananthazhwar abided by the request and went upon raising a garden. He took the help of his pregnant wife who found it difficult to do the manual labor from time.

Lord venkateswara having seen the trouble of the lady assumed form of a young lad and helped her out. On one occasion wen this came to the notice of Ananthazhwar later was furious and he hit the lad with a crowbar.

The lad(small boy)disappeared out wen Ananthazhwar visited the god in tirumala, he found lord was bleeding from the chin,the realised that it was lord who had helped his wife and regretted his behaviour.

He applied raw camphor (karpuram)from the wound. Lord venkateswara was impressed with Ananthazhwars devotion and not only forgave him but also told him that he would display the raw camphor forever as a mark of lords chin to this day during the rituals.

Even today u can see ananthazhwans crowbar wen u enter the temple hanging on right side.

When the majority of the film industry has been sold out to either the rice bowls or one of the two, the south has just two film industries that remain true to their roots. @LostTemple7 @RadharamnDas @ShefVaidya

Yes, not all directors in the industry do, but thanks to the directors and their vision; unlike other industries that demonize our dharma and portray our gods in a poor light, these industries produce some great films, if not always, at least occasionally. @Indigen_Apsara

Take the Tollywood business as an example: while not every film idolizes our doctrine, we do have directors like Boyapati and a few others that find space and include moments that highlight the value of our dharma. @SanggitaT @Samrasta20 @ChitraSundaram7

We had a balayya film called Jai Simha a few years ago that tanked at the box office but featured a sequence about why we should appreciate Brahmin priests of temples and takes on a Babu in the film who disrespects a Temple Priest.

Similarly, we now see monologues on Hindutva, the value of temples, Sanatana dharma theory, the glory of Hindu Gods, and why we must safeguard dharma after many years.

Devadhanam Ranganatha Perumal.

18feet Ranganatha seen in a Bhoga Sayana Posture at Devadhanam located at minjur a small village almost 40 km away from city chennai.

dated over a 1000 years rule of the Chalukya kings, situated on a large sand mound.

History.

The king of Chalukya who happened to visit srirangam wanted to create a similar one within his empire and thus this temple came in to existence. Since then it's been known as vada srirangam.

Why Devadhanam?
Its believed to be gifted by the devas so the name devadhanam came in to picture.

Lord in Bhoga Sayanam

It's believed that Lord Ranganatha is believed that tired of measuring the paddy during the harvest season, to have relaxed his head on the same grain measure.

Moolavar Vigraham (idol)

We have perumal ranganathar to be of 18ft long and 5ft high sleeping on Aadhiseshan with his right hand placed beneath his head and left hand stretched forward.

Aashadi Ekadashi is today.

So, let me join the band.

"Anyone who walks while uttering God's Name earns the virtue of a sacrifice with each stride. His body becomes a pilgrimage site. While working, he who repeats God's Name enjoys absolute tranquility. When a person utters God's Name while eating, he earns the right to fast." 2/n

In a Hindu home, the main door is extremely important. It is adorned with toran and other religiously significant items. It represents the divide between the inner and outside worlds.

#Thread

All negative influences outside are blocked at the main door, while the inside is pure.

Only good things are permitted to pass through the door. Purna Kumbha, toran, mango leaves, rice plant, sugarcane, rangoli, and foot painting are used to welcome Goddess Lakshmi through the main door.

We should prohibit all negative influences from entering our mind and intellect, just as we would not let anything unpleasant, negative, or inauspicious into our dwelling. It, like the house, should be kept clean.

What we read, hear, and listen to should all be carefully considered. Our thoughts should be cleansed before being accepted into our minds.

Kamadhenu - कामधेनू - the wish-fulfilling Cow.

-------------------------

The image here illustrates the Vedic teaching that each part of the cow embodies a particular deity.

For example, Brahma (the creator of the Universe in Hinduism) is her back, while Lord Vishnu is her throat.

To the right, a man is seen as protecting the cow from being slaughtered

All the gods are believed to reside in the body of Kamadhenu — the divine cow.

Her four legs are the scriptural Vedas;

her horns are the Three Main Gods - Brahma (tip), Vishnu (middle) and Shiva (base); her eyes are the Sun and Moon gods,

her shoulders the fire-god Agni and the wind-god Vayu and her legs the Himalayas.

Kamadhenu is often depicted in this form in poster art.

The Cow symbolizes the dharma itself.

It is said to have stood steadily upon the earth with its four feet during the 'Satya Yuga ' (world's first age of truth), upon three feet during the 'Treta Yuga' (the second stage of less than perfection),
upon two feet during 'the Dwapara yuga' (the third stage of dwindling

Sri Navaneetha Krishna, Doddamallur, Karnataka.

In this Kshetram, it is said that the Childless couples who pray to Ambegal Krishna will be blessed with an issue.

There was once a rich woman, who resided in Bhadrachalam, on the banks of River Godavari in Andhra Pradesh.

She lost her vision. Our Navaneetha Chora appeared in her dream and asked her to come to Dodda Mallur and do seva to Him following which she made enquiries about this place and reached Mallur.

She prayed Sri Krishna day in and day out. The Lord then restored her eyesight.

From that day on, she would adorn the temple and sanctorum entrances with Kolam (Rangoli) and worship him.

Even though she was rich, she lead an austere life. She would subsist on alms from which she would still save some amount of money for Lord Krishna.

The little Krishna would then appear in her dreams and ask her for jewelry.

She would then have the jewelry made as per the Lord’s demands and offer it to Him.

She renovated the Garbha Griham, Maha Dwaram, etc.

She attained the lotus feet of the Lord doing seva to Him, all her life.

Another incident occurred about one hundred and thirty years ago when the then Maha Raja of Mysore came to have the darshan of Lord Aprameya, Aravindavalli & Krishna at Mallur.

The Sports Quota in India

The majority of us are aware of the Sports Quota in college admissions, but the majority of us are unaware of its history, including why and when it began.

When the !t@li@n Mata arrived in India, she assumed command of the family, starting with her mother-in-law.

To maintain control over the country, it was necessary for MIL's husband to take over the chair, which he did, but after him, it was required for the son to take over the chair, which he did.

The family of duffers had no scholars, yet they were all projected as scholars and renowned thought leaders based on the name of the college where they went for further education but never finished.

So, in order for him to appear as a scholar, he must graduate from a good historic institution where he struggled to pass 12 board exams.

Exotic Aniruddha Saligrama:
Aniruddha is the son of Pradyumna and the Grandson of Lord Sri Krishna. Lord Aniruddha's eternal consort, Usha, requested him in the palace of her father, Bana, where Aniruddha was captured & had to be rescued by Krishna, Balarama,and the Yadava army.

He appears as the Ruler of intelligence.

The Shila has beautiful impressions of Anirudhha on the front of the Shila in the form of layers pointing at one end symbolizing focus and compassion.

It is believed that the worshiper of this Shaligram is always governed by his wit, wisdom, and conviction.

Very good for students for memory retention & concentration.
People who are decision-makers are greatly benefited by the worship of this Shila. It also provides a Vaikuntha like atmosphere & improves tremendously the relationships in the house & at the workplace of the beholder.

The actions of the devotee of Aniruddha Shaligram is always governed by his mind and not by his heart.

The worshiper commands great respect in the society being a learned man and enjoys all the worldly comforts.

Rock-cut architecture –

The below is a rock-cut Hindu temple of Ravana Phadi in Aihole, Karnataka Supposed to be made during 550 AD. Aihole, used to be the capital during the rule of Chalukya dynasty, with around 125 temples, and mostly rock cut one’s.

Ravana Phadi temple is cut in rock, and Lord Shiva is worshipped in the temple. Wide-ranging artwork of Lord Shiva, Parvathi, Ganesha and Vishnu can be seen inside the cave.

We have two compartments on the sides of the Mandapa.

To the left, we have stairs that lead to one of the chambers that contains a stunning artwork of Lord Shiva in Nataraja incarnation. There are also reliefs (sculptural technique) of Ganesh, Parvati, etc...  We have Shiv holding snake in his hands and one more in his neck,

Ganesha appears with only 2 arms. And, finally to the right we have another chamber which does not possess any carvings.

The fact that the Hindu scriptures are open to interpretation and critique is one of their greatest assets. Some of Lord Ram's actions in the Ramayana have been questioned, and some even question if he deserves the reverence and worship he receives.

Sage Valmiki could have easily polished and edited all of Lord Ram's activities that are subject to criticism today and presented him without any so-called defects.

The grandeur of Hindu scriptures is that they do not preach or impose beliefs or views, but rather encourage the reader to analyze, argue, and come to a conclusion.

This is why, after 1000s of years, they are still relevant.

During project planning, engineers use the term "BLUEPRINT."

What is the origin of the term BLUEPRINT? Is there any connection to the Ramayan?

BLUEPRINT means Neela Naksha in Hindi.

We understand the map, but where did the color blue originate?

NEEL, Ramsetu's architect, is responsible for the color blue.

Some think the blue color is from a formed ammonia print. They are correct, but it happened later.

Some may say that Galileo Galilei discovered Jupiter's moons, while others would argue that NASA predicted the eclipse. However, we have been able to predict each eclipse using a basic panchang for thousands of years.

There's a link there.

The Holy Rock at Sri Sita Rama Swamivari Devasthanam, Bhadrachalam, AP.

The name 'Bhadrachalam' is derived from 'Bhadragiri' meaning 'the mountain of Bhadra' who was the boon child of Meru and Menaka.

To get the grace of Lord Rama, the saint Bhadra performed penance at the bank of river Godavari in Dandakaranya.

The saint wanted Rama to be seated on his head, but Lord Rama who was in search of his consort Sita gave promise to his Bhakta that his desire would be fulfilled on his way back, after finding Sita and accomplishing the process of punishing the wicked Ravana.

But Lord Rama could not accomplish the promise in Ramavatara, so the sage continued the frightened penance.

Then Sri Mahavishnu manifests himself as Vykunta Rama with Shankh on the right hand & Chakra on the left hand and rushes to his devotee Bhadra along with Sita & Lakshman.

The hill place where the Deities were seated on was the head place of Bhadra Achala.
So this shrine was called the Bhadrachalam.

Jai Shri Ram!
