How did India go from 90,000 cases per day to just over 10,000?

Answer is compelling

The big picture: Three things are important to stop the pandemic: Travel restrictions (International), travel restrictions (domestic), and strong local lockdowns where there are outbreaks

1/

It is time to recognize the scientific basis of India's success and give it its due. With the number of new cases in India leveling recently, the urgency is great to complete the elimination process so that a new surge does not occur.

2/

Should India join countries in Asia and Oceania in elimination, 50% of the world would become COVID free, and provide an example for emulation that is surely unexpected by western observers.

3/

Through swift Government action of restricting/regulating movement and by increasing public health capacity to meet the increasing demands of the pandemic, India leveraged its strengths to mitigate the impact of the pandemic.

4/

In particular: Severe restrictions on travel, stopping gatherings, targeted localized lockdowns, school closures, effective public communication, improvements in case identification,

SRI KAMAKSHI AMMAN KSHETRAM, MANGADU (TN)

At this place, Ma Kamakshi did extreme tapasya before her wedding with Sri Ekambareswarar in Kanchipuram.
Once, Ma Parvati playfully closed the eyes of Mahadev with her palms. The whole universe fell in eternal darkness immediately.

Shiva ordained her to perform Tapasya. Parvati ji came down to this place and performed tapasya amidst "Panchagni" resting her left leg on the sacred fire and folding her right leg. Later, when she left this place, the heat of the fire that she had created became unbearable.

Adi Shankaracharya is believed to have visited Mangadu and installed a Sri Ardhameru Chakram at this place. This was done to calm down the heat of this fire. The chakra has 43 Trikonas (triangles). It is made of Astagandham.
@upma23

Hence no abishek is offered to it and only Kumkuma archana is performed. On Vijayadasami, the Chakra is covered with gold while on other days, it has a silver cover.

It is believed that hurdles in marriage are eliminated by praying to Mangadu Kamakshi.

ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय धन्वंतरये
अमृतकलश हस्ताय सर्वामयविनाशनाय
त्रिलोक्यनाथाय श्री  महाविष्णवे   नमः  

Thottuva Dhanwanthari Temple is located in Perumbavoor, of Ernakulam District.
Dhanwanthari Murthy here is six feet tall, 👇

facing east.

Story says that Parasurama did Prathishta here of Dhanwanthari Murthy. A brahmin family of Korambur Mana was in charge of the temple earlier. Devotees perform ‘Bhajanam,’ (stay at the temple)
here for 41 days.
It is said that, many years ago a man

had leprosy, and he came and stayed at the temple for 41 days. After his daily bath at the nearby Thottuva Thodu, he used to worship the Dhanwanthari murthy and he got completely cured at the end of his 41-day prarthana.

Om Dhanwanthariye Namaha

KAPALEESHWARAR KSHETRAM, MYLAPORE DIST. CHENNAI

Shiva Lingam here is said to be swayambhu meaning it is self-manifested.
It is said that once Brahma Ji became proud of his 5 heads. To teach him a lesson, Shiva cut off one of his heads. So, here Shiva is called Kabaleeswarar.

Also, it was here that Ma Parvati worshipped Shiva in the form of a peacock which is known as Mayil in Tamil.
Once, Shiv was teaching Parvati the meaning of five lettered Mantra Na Ma Shi Va Ya and the glory of the sacred ash. She got distracted with the appearance of a peacock.

She was then cursed to become a peacock by him. Then Mata came to this place and offered her prayers to him. After she regained her original form she was named as Karpagavalli by Shiva. It is at this place that Mata gave Muruga the spear or Sakthi Vel.
@GampaSD

A shrine of Ma Parvati, who is revered here in the form of Karpagambal, is also present in the complex. It attracts huge crowds on Fridays when the murti is bedecked with a garland of gold coins called Kaasu mala.

The complex houses the sacred Punnai tree which is believed to be one of the oldest trees of Chennai. A small shrine under the Punnai Tree depicts the story of Ma Parvati in the form of peahen worshipping the Shivlinga.

NAGARAJA MANDIR, NAGERCOIL (TN)

Dedicated to Naag Devta Vasuki. The five-headed Naga Devta is visited by devotees, especially on Sundays when special Pooja is performed offering milk and turmeric to the deity.
Two nagas- Darnendran and Padmavati are dwarapalaks here.
@twttdc

Once a village girl was cutting grass in the area when she noticed blood oozing out of her axe after accidentally hitting a stone. It was the stone murti of Naga devta. A hut was built around it. Later Raja Marthanda Verma visited here when he was suffering from skin problems.

His disease was cured and he built a huge mandir here.
The main sanctum still has mud walls and thatched roof with the stone murti of Nagaraja placed on the soil. The soil underneath it always remains wet. It is believed that blood is still oozing out of the murti till date.

It is said that this soil holds special powers and can cure any skin ailments; the soil is also given as prasadam to the visitors of the mandir.
Amazingly, the soil is black in dakshinayana punyakala and turns white in uttarayana punyakala of Surya.

A tortoise occupies the place (instead of Garuda) on the flagpost. This maybe because Garuda and Naga are natural enemies. Also, Sri Vishnu took kurma avatar during samudra manthan. Image of tortoise maybe to show respect to kurma avatar.

Nagalinga flowers also bloom here.

The psephologists and the SM warriors, especially the coloured sheep coming out now, unless the seat share and the constituencies of each party, I'm wondering how you're all predicting a victory , at this stage. I don't claim to be an exponent, but I'm not naive either. I've

worked ground level , and hardcore at that. I've played ,albeit a small role in bringing down DMK,after which last 10 years , they're still to find their feet. There's no magic in that. Mention DMK, and people think of power cuts (it's not 18 hours), rural was nearly 22 hours;

3. they think of land grabbing, the looting of cooperative banks, good benefit funds like Mylapore one, are but classic examples. Intact , this election they'll find it more difficult , because of Hindu polarisation. They were successful in using that card ,creating an impression

that brahmins are not Hindus , and they were usurping , which is not true and is more visible now. They've one strength , their cadre - but then let's look at generation drift - the younger generation have shifted base and very strongly too. Moreover they have lost the initiative

with a lacklustre leadership and the interference of the kitchen cabinet. As it stands now ,the 7 constituencies (5of them held by DMK), they'll not win this time . The seething undercurrent would be , may be visible , to the naked eye, in days to come; as far as AIADMK is

ARULMIGU KANDA SWAMI KOVIL, TIRUPPORUR (TN)

Mandir dating back to Pallava period. Dedicated to Murugan. After vanquishing Soorapadman at Tiruchendur, Skanda destroyed the rest of the Rakshasas here at Tirupporur ('place of the sacred war').
@twttdc

Sthalapurana says that here, Murugan with his consorts Valli and Devayanai granted protection to devas and expounded the meaning of Pranava to Agastya Muni.

Skanda worshipped Shiva as Vanmeekeswarar to rid himself of the sin of having killed Soorapadman.

The founding guru of Thiruporur was Srimad Chidambaraswamy who was an ardent worshipper of "Madurai Meenakshi Amman". In a vision, Devi bade him to build a mandir for Sri Muruga at Thiruporur. He unearthed the Swayambu murtis of Muruga with his consorts and established the Mandir

The swayambhu murti of Muruga is in the form of a palmyra tree. Beneath it is the murti of Muruga in Brahmasasta form with his consorts on both sides. It is said that the small murtis were made by Chidambaram Swamigal for performing abhisheka and aradhana.

Let me tell you an amazing story...

In the 1990s, a maverick breast surgeon at @TataMemorial (fresh from his return from the UK) stepped up to do research. Now, to understand the situation, you should go back 30 years, when research was not as big as it is now, and certainly not from surgeons.

Surgeons, and especially cancer surgeons, were renowned for their technical prowess, and their sheer bravado – "wherever the cancer, however advanced, I will take it out". So, our surgeon-researcher was ridiculed for even attempting clinical research

For a surgeon, he couldn’t have chosen a worse topic to research on: early detection; nothing to do with surgery, or even treatment. Remember, this was the 1990s. Cowboy surgery was celebrated, and research ridiculed

Being a breast surgeon, he was troubled with women consistently coming with advanced cancers, and he set out to see if he could work on picking them up at an earlier stage. But community-based early detection needs money, and he just didn’t have it.

#KeralaTemples🚩

Chelamattom Sri Krishna Kshetram is situated near Kalady. Temple is also called Dakshina Kashi. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya worshipped Sri Krishna and Narasimhamurthy here.

Mahavishnu is worshipped in 3 forms, Narasimhamoorthy, Shri Krishna and Vamana here.
Temple is situated on the banks of Periyar river and is very famous for Pitrtarpanam as it is believed that offering bali here will attain Moksham to departed souls.
Story says that,

In this place place only Narasimha Vigraham was Prathishta. Once, a box came floating across the river and people found Shri Krishna Vigraham inside. Thus Vigraham was taken to the Narasimha Kshetram and Prathista of Shri Krishna was done. Vamana Vigraham was found by

Thottamattom Namboodiri and he too took Vigraham to this temple for Prathista.
Thus three forms of Of Mahavishnu is worshipped here which is very rare.

கதை சொல்லி வெகுநாள் ஆயிற்றே!!! இதோ ஒரு கதை

வடநாட்டில் காசிக்குச் செல்லும் வழியில் சக்கிலியன் ஒருவன் வசித்து வந்தான். அவன் திருமணமாகி நெடு நாளாய் புத்திரன் இல்லாமல் இருந்தான். சக்கிலியன் ஒரு பெரியவரிடம் தன் குறையைக் கூறினான்.

அவர் தர்மம் செய்தால் அதன் பயனாக புத்திரன் உண்டாவான் என தேற்றினார்.

சக்கிலியன் எந்த முறையில் தர்மம் செய்ய வேண்டுமென்று கேட்டான். அக்காலம் கோடை காலம். அவ் வழியாக காசிக்குப் போகும் ஓர் அந்தணனுக்கு ஒரு குடை, ஒரு மிதியடி, ஒரு விசிறி இம் மூன்றையும் தானமாகக் கொடுத்தால்

அவர்களுடைய ஆசியால் புத்திரன் உண்டாகும் என்றார்.

தான் தாழ்த்தப்பட்டவன் ஆதலால் அந்தணனுக்கு எவ்வாறு தானம் செய்ய முடியும் என சிந்தித்தான்.

ஒருநாள் ஒரு குடை, ஒரு மிதியடி, ஒரு விசிறி இம் மூன்றையும் தயாரித்து எதிரிலுள்ள மரத்தடியில் வைத்து விட்டு தன் தொழிலில் ஈடுபட்டான்.

பக்தியில் மேம்பட்ட அந்தணர் ஒருவர் தன் இறுதிக் காலம் நெருங்குவதற்குள் காசிக்குச் சென்று வர வேண்டுமென்ற வைராக்கியத்தோடு கால்நடையாகப் புறப்பட்டார்.

அது சமயம் வெயில் காலமாதலால் வெப்பத்தால் துடிதுடித்துச் சென்று கொண்டிருந்தார்.

வழியில் ஒரு மரத்தடியில் வைத்திருந்த குடை, செருப்பு, விசிறி இம் மூன்றையும் கண்டார். அதை மகிழ்ச்சியோடு எடுத்துக் கொண்டு அம் மூன்றையும் வைத்தவனை வாழ்த்திக் கொண்டே சென்றார்.

My humble attempt to bring to u all what I found about them.
It's time we place our gratitude & reclaim our true history,which is definitely not Moghal

When we see #Sadhus Either we feel scared or think they r beggars.
There has been a gradual brain washing to believe that Sadhus or Babas cannot be trusted
Blame #Bollywood or past Govt for not teaching the history right
But fact is we have largely being ignorant about them
2/15

#Nagas especially instill either fear or dark fascination
However, its far from truth
Naga basically means mountain
So these sadhus live in akharas situated there
Only during Kumbh Melas they come out
Reason?
During 1st att@ck of Md Ghouri, Nagas surrounded his army in

#Kurukshetra
Ghouri's arm was cüt in Tarawadi
Pleased, Prithvi Raj Chauhan gave right of 1st holy dip in #Kumbh To Nagas

Nagas are different from #Aghoris However both are #Shaivites, that is worship Shiva

When a person decides to join as Naga his tenacity, brahmacharya

disciplined meditation, sannyas & loyalty to religion are examined in a major way.

It takes 6 mos to 12 yrs.
If the Arena decides that it has been worth the initiation then it is taken to the next process
He makes his Shraddha, Mundan, & Pindada,kept in the Sanyas religion

1/ We just concluded our #ZohoDay2021 online event for industry analysts, with record participation.🙏

We hosted this on Zoho's own event platform with our home grown audio-video framework, a combination of @ZohoBackstage, @ZohoShowTime and @zohomeeting.

I will explain this.

2/ One year ago, our audio-video frameworks were not ready. As the pandemic struck, we realized we were behind in AV tech.

In March 2020, we redoubled our R&D efforts. I told our engineers we will invest in this however long it takes and produce a world-class platform.

3/ We transferred engineers from other projects to the AV teams. At first the progress was frustratingly slow, as it often happens in R&D, with frequent setbacks. I told our engineers to persist.

We used our own products and diligently reported issues encountered to engineers.

4/ Then by Oct 2020, we started to improve and we could see visible progress. Yet, running an online event entirely on our platform was a dream.

Today, we have concluded a successful event, due to painstaking efforts from our engineers and our events team who stood by them.🙏

5/ This is a classic example of R&D that I often mention. We need a lot more of this across the industrial landscape in India. The private sector must get into R&D with passion and religious devotion.

Company leadership must patiently stand by engineers so they can excel.

Sharing a WA forward//

#ஸ்ரீலலிதாஜயந்தி!

மாசிமாதம்,பௌர்ணமி திதி, மக நக்ஷத்ரம் ஆகிய மூன்றும் ஒன்று சேரும் நன்நாள் தான் மாசிமகம்.

ஸ்ரீவித்யா மார்க்கத்தில் அம்பாளை;
1) தாரா 2) மாதங்கி 3) சின்ன மஸ்தா 4)பகளாமுகீ 5) தூமாவதீ
6) புவனேஸ்வரி 7)காளி 8)த்ரிபுர பைரவி 9)கமலா 10)லலிதா என்பதாக பத்துவித ஸ்வரூபமாக ஆராதிக்கிறார்கள்.

இவ்விதம் 10 அவதாரங்கள் அம்பாளுக்கு ஏற்பட்டதாக
புராணங்கள் கூறுகின்றன.

இந்த 10 விதமான தேவி
அவதாரங்களுக்குள் ஸ்ரீ லலிதா (த்ரிபுர ஸுந்தரி) என்னும் அவதாரமானது மாசி மாதம் பௌர்ணமியில் தான் நிகழ்ந்தது. ஆகவே ஸ்ரீ லலிதா ஜயந்தியாகவும்
அன்றைய நாள் கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது.

அன்று மாலை ஸ்ரீ லலிதா தேவியின் விக்ரஹம் அல்லது படத்தை நன்கு அலங்கரித்து வைத்து, ஸ்ரீ லலிதா
அஷ்டோத்தரத்தால் அர்ச்சனை செய்து, சர்க்கரை பொங்கல்
நிவேதனம் செய்து, பூஜை செய்து, 9 ஸுவாஸினிகளுக்காவது தாம்பூலம் தரவேண்டும்.

மேலும் அன்று மாலை அனைவரும் சேர்ந்தோ-தனித்தோ-
சந்திரகிரணங்கள் உடலில் படுமாறு அமர்ந்து கொண்டு, சந்திரனின் பிம்பத்தில் ஸ்ரீ லலிதா தேவியை த்யானம் செய்து கொண்டு ஸ்ரீ லலிதா ஸஹஸ்ரநாமத்தை பாராயணம் செய்வது மிகச்சிறப்பான
பலங்களைத்தரும்.

Kundrathur Subramanya Swamy Temple
#Chennai #TamilNadu,
#TamilnaduTemples 🚩

Arulmigu Subramanya Swamy Temple is located at Kundrathur near Chennai. This is the only temple, where Bhagwan Muruga is facing North.
Sthala Puranam says that, after conquering Tarakasura, 👇

at Thiruporur, Subramanya was leaving to Thiruthani, when he saw the Kundrathur mountain. Murugar decided to stay here sometime. Later Subrahmanya did Prathista of a Shiva Lingam in the foot of the hill. This Shiva Lingam is called Kandhaleeswarar. Garbhagriham of this temple

is very unique. Murugar is worshipped here with Valli and Deivanai taai. But we can see only Murugar if standing straight to Sannidhi. If we stand in the side, left or right, either Valli or Deivanai Taai can be worshipped.

SRI NANDANAR AND MAHADEV

Nandanar, one of the 63 Nayanars, was a Shiva bhakt who was born in a lower caste.
Once, he went to Tiruppungur and stood outside to have darshan. However, he could not see the shivlingam as Nandi was blocking his view.

It is said that at Shiva’s command, Nandi moved a few feet to the right so that Nandanar could view the lingam. Even today, at Tiruppungur, Nandi sits to one side.
Nandanar longed to visit the Chidambaram Mandir but feared that due to his low birth, he would not get entry.

As he postponed his visit daily, he was called Tirrunalaipovvar (He who will go tomorrow). Finally, one day he went to Chidambaram. He kept circumambulating the mandir a number of times, in desperation to have Nataraja darshan.
Soon he was exhausted and dozed off.

It is said that Shiva appeared in his dream and told him to enter the Mandir through the yagna fire. Nandanar entered the yagna fire. He reappeared with matted hair and the sacred thread across his chest.
As he entered the garbhagriha, his form merged and became one with Shiva.
