Tolerance, Violence, and Media!

Tolerance is defined as the acceptance of differences as well as the ability to live and let others live. It is the ability to treat people fairly, regardless of their beliefs, behaviors, religion, nationality, or other factors. 1/n

 Tolerance is more than merely agreeing with one another or staying neutral in the face of injustice; it is about demonstrating respect for each person's inherent humanity. 2/n
The failure to appreciate and accept the customs, ideas, and beliefs of another group is referred to as intolerance. For example, intolerances could arise over issues such as identity (caste, religion), self-determination, statehood, refugee return rights, and so on. 3/n
In today's world, prejudice begins with "those who have the remote control in their hands in the drawing-room." We used to have days when the entire colony sat around and watched a TV show, 4/n
but nowadays, every room has a TV because there are so many channels to choose from and people like different ones. Siblings in the same room use computers to view their shows. 5/n
The use of force to damage (physically or emotionally) or abuse someone is known as violence. The term is used to denote a destructive activity, such as purposeful and forceful injury to individuals, property damage, and verbal and emotional abuse of others. 6/n
Individuals' opinions about one another are based on assumptions due to a lack of experience. 7/n
The positive or negative beliefs of those who have the most influence in their lives (parents, family members, colleagues, instructors, and/or role models) might have an impact on this. Individuals' intolerance is perpetuated as a result of this. 8/n
Individual opinions are shaped by media and press images of other groups. In education, there are biased and/or bad historical accounts of world cultures in the school curriculum and educational literature. 9/n
Instead of promoting cultural knowledge and tolerance for diversity and differences, myth-based education or schooling can denigrate and demean other cultures. 10/n
Tolerance is preferable to intolerance when it comes to tolerance. How can one be accepting of others who despise them? Tolerance of bigotry is not acceptable nor attainable for many people. Tolerance is still crucial to reducing hostile relations amongst people. 11/n
Tolerance aids the affected groups in enduring the agony of the past and resolving their differences in times of violent conflict. 12/n
Here are some suggestions:

Individuals: In their daily lives, individuals should strive to be more tolerant of others. This entails intentionally confronting preconceptions 13/n
and assumptions that people come across when making judgments about others and/or dealing with others in a social or professional setting. 14/n
Press Media: The media should present positive images to foster cultural sensitivity and understanding. People are less inclined to find fault with one another if they are exposed to good media messages about different cultures. 15/n
Those populations, in particular, have little contact with the outside world and are sensitive to what the media tells them! 16/n
Ironically, the media prefers sensationalism and thus unintentionally fosters unfavorable stereotypes about many populations. STAY AWAY FROM SENSATIONALISM! 17/n
Educators play a critical role in promoting tolerance and peaceful cooperation. Schools that foster tolerance, for example, assist young people in respecting and understanding diverse cultures. 18/n
Stop glorifying violence and supporting terrorism in the movies. This is impossible since the entire media is funded by terrorists. The irony is that we have more people watching movies than reading blogs! 19/n
They are powerful, and if they use their power for good, they can change the world! 20

Sri Garuda's Blessing to Swamy Desikan.

It is said in Scriptures that the Garuda is Veda swaroopi.

Sri Appullar taught the sacred Garuda mantra to Swamy Desikan.


Swami Desika wanted to chant the Garuda mantra taught to him for many days without food and sleep to receive the blessings of the divine bird Sri Garuda.

He went to Thiruvahendrapuram and climbed the small hill there and started chanting the mantra.

Sri Garuda was pleased with the devotion of Swamy Desikan and blessed him with Sri Hayagreeva mantra and instructed him to chant it continuously to receive the blessings of Lord Haygreeva.

Then Lord Hayagreeva appeared before Swamy Desikan and blessed him with the nectar flowing from HIS mouth.

Lord Hayagreeva took the seat of Swami Desika’s tip of the tounge as prayed by him.

Also Sri Hayagreeva gave an idol of Himself for Swamy Desikan’s daily worship.

This idol or vigraha is still being preserved in the Devanatha temple in Thiruvaheendrapuram.

Swami desikan composed a lot of famous slokas like Haygreeva stotram, Devanayaka panchashat in Sanskrit and Achchutha shatakam in Prakriut & Mummanikkovai & Nava mani maalai in Tamil.

How Your Body Is Engineered?

In India, it was taught that you shouldn't sleep with your head to the north. Why?

#Thread


Because pumping blood up against gravity is harder than pumping it down, your heart is three-fourths of the way up instead of halfway down. In comparison to blood arteries that travel downward, those that ascend have a more refined configuration.

They become so thin and nearly hair-like as they ascend to the brain that they are unable to absorb even one more drop. Something will explode and cause a bleed if just one more drop is poured in.

The majority of persons develop brain hemorrhages. You are not seriously disabled by this, but minor injuries do occur. You might become duller, as people are doing.

After the age of 35, if you don't take great care to maintain it, your level of intelligence begins to decline in many ways. Your memory, not your intelligence, is what allows you to manage.

The mention of Chanakya would be lacking from ancient Indian history. Indian educator, economist, lawyer, royal counsellor, and philosopher Chanakya, also referred to as Kautilya, was also a teacher. He also went by the name Vishnugupta.

#Thread


He is credited with writing the Arthashastra, an Indian political book. In India, he is also credited with founding political science and economics.

the traditional economist Chanakya. The Maurya dynasty is credited with his contributions to the development of classical economics. But his creative output vanished around the end of the Gupta Empire and wasn't found again until the 20th century.

Along with writing intellectual works, he also helped Chandragupta Maurya, the first Mauryan Emperor, become emperor. Chanakya was so shrewd and knowledgeable that he managed to make a commoner the king.

He consequently had a significant impact on the Maurya Empire. He also served as Chandragupta and Chandragupta's son Bindusara's principal counsellor.

Did you know?

When Saudi Arabia's King visited India in 1955, PM Nehru ordered all the Hindu Temples and Idols of Hindu Deities that came in Saudi King's way to be covered up.
Our temples are the architectural marvels in their own league.


Each of our temples tells the story of our rich history and cultural heritage. Was Nehru that ashamed of his own nation's heritage that he had to cover them up or there was some other reason? The answer would be best known to him only.

PM Nehru invited the then Saudi King Saud bin Abdul Aziz to India who accepted the invitation and planned a 17 day long official visit to India in 1955. Saudi King had brought a large delegation with him and he had to visit various Indian cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Agra,


Aligarh, Shimla, Mysore and Varanasi. However, when Saudi King reached Varanasi, Nehru ordered to cover all the temples and Idols with curtains that came in the way of the Royal Convoy. During his stay in Varanasi, Govt buildings were painted with the words "Kalma Tayyiba".


'Kalma Tayyiba' means 'There is not God but only Allah and Mohammed is his messenger'. In addition to it, Pooja and Aartis were also stopped at temples. I can call it the appeasement politics of the highest order and Nehru was indeed the greatest appeaser of all times.

#தினம்_ஒரு_திருவாசகம்
தொல்லை இரும்பிறவிச் சூழும் தளை நீக்கி
அல்லல் அறுத்து ஆனந்தம் ஆக்கியதே – எல்லை
மருவா நெறியளிக்கும் வாதவூர் எங்கோன்
திருவாசகம் என்னும் தேன்

பொருள்:
1.எப்போது ஆரம்பித்தது என அறியப்படமுடியாத தொலை காலமாக (தொல்லை)

2. இருந்து வரும் (இரும்)


3.பிறவிப் பயணத்திலே ஆழ்த்துகின்ற (பிறவி சூழும்)

4.அறியாமையாகிய இடரை (தளை)

5.அகற்றி (நீக்கி),

6.அதன் விளைவால் சுகதுக்கமெனும் துயரங்கள் விலக (அல்லல் அறுத்து),

7.முழுநிறைவாய்த் தன்னுளே இறைவனை உணர்த்துவதே (ஆனந்த மாக்கியதே),

8.பிறந்து இறக்கும் காலவெளிகளில் (எல்லை)

9.பிணைக்காமல் (மருவா)

10.காக்கும் மெய்யறிவினைத் தருகின்ற (நெறியளிக்கும்),

11.என் தலைவனான மாணிக்க வாசகரின் (வாதவூரெங்கோன்)

12.திருவாசகம் எனும் தேன் (திருவா சகமென்னுந் தேன்)

முதல்வரி: பிறவி என்பது முன்வினை விதையால் முளைப்பதோர் பெருமரம். அந்த ‘முன்வினை’ எங்கு ஆரம்பித்தது எனச் சொல்ல இயலாது. ஆனால் ‘அறியாமை’ ஒன்றே ஆசைக்கும்,, அச்சத்துக்கும் காரணம் என்பதால், அவையே வினைகளை விளைவிப்பன என்பதால், தொடர்ந்து வரும் பிறவிகளுக்கு, ‘அறியாமையே’ காரணம்

அறியாமைக்கு ஆரம்பம் கிடையாது. நமக்கு ஒரு பொருளைப் பற்றிய அறிவு எப்போதிருந்து இல்லை? அதைச் சொல்ல முடியாது. அதனாலேதான் முதலடியில், ஆரம்பமில்லாத அஞ்ஞானத்தை பிறவிகளுக்குக் காரணமாகச் சொல்லியது. ஆனால் அறியாமை, அறிவின் எழுச்சியால், அப்போதே முடிந்து விடும்.

'Treasure Gods' - Sangha Nidhi' and 'Padma Nidhi', Tirumala, Tirupati.

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

These are the two guards guarding the Wealth and Treasure of Lord Sri Venkateswara.

They are representatives of two treasures of Kubera, the God of Wealth.


One guard who is holding shangam (conch) on both the hands is known as Shanka Nidhi ('nidhi' means wealth).

On the other side, the guard who is holding Lotus flowers on both the hands is known as Padma nidhi.

Shangu is from the ocean which includes all types of wealth like pearls and corals.

Why shagam in his hand? Because shangam only gives the sound of 'omkaram'.

'Padmam' is the symbol of water sources in land like river, lakes, tanks etc. which is very important for all living beings.

As per the tradition, these guards are installed at the third entrance of the temple.

One enters the holy shrine after saluting the first protection threshold - Sankha Nidhi and Padma Nidhi.

Oleg Karpov pisze, że gdyby Siergiej Sirotkin zdobył w pierwszej części sezonu więcej punktów od Strolla, to jego kontrakt z automatu zostałby przedłużony na kolejny sezon. Tak się nie stało i Williams ma możliwość szukania innych opcji i to właśnie robi. #F1pl

Czego w artykule brakuje, to informacji, że SMP prawdopodobnie przekazało Williamsowi część środków na sfinansowanie sezonu 2019. W przypadku zakończenia współpracy ekipa z Grove będzie musiała zwrócić te środki. #F1pl

To tłumaczy wysokie kwoty jakich Williams ma oczekiwać za fotel od nowego kierowcy. Jest pewnie próg opłacalności i dopóki nie zostanie osiągnięty, to zmiana z finansowego punktu widzenia nie będzie się zwyczajnie opłacała. #F1pl

1/OK, I should really write another thread about university-centric regional development, because I think people often make some (very understandable) mistakes when thinking about this issue.

2/The biggest myth, I think, is that universities help regions by educating locals as undergraduates.

Skeptics of universities say: "But most of the people who graduate end up leaving."

3/In fact, most of what a university does for a regional economy is NOT about educating local kids.

Educating local kids is good for the nation, but doesn't help a region much.

The way a university helps a region is through

4/Undergraduates usually leave town after graduation.

But university RESEARCH pulls in OTHER smart people from other regions, and they stay there.

Here's a paper showing that this is the main way universities increase a region's human capital:

5/Research also pulls in business investment.

Companies want to partner with university labs, so they can commercialize the technologies the labs produce. So they invest in the labs, and sometimes they even put their offices in the town.

RISHI BHRINGI AND ARDHA-NAREESHWAR SHIVA

Rishi Bhringi was a devoted bhakt of Mahadev. However, in his devotion to Shiva, he ignored Mata Parvati.

Once, he visited Kailasha along with other Rishis. All the Rishis did parikrama of Shiva and Parvati both except Rishi Bhringi.


The same situation continued whenever Rishi Bhringi visited Kailasha. Mata Parvati decided to teach him that Shiva and Parvati are one and inseparable.
So on one such visit, Mata Parvati sat on the left lap of Mahadev when Rishi Bhringi came.


Seeing this, Rishi Bhringi took the form of a bee(some say bird) and did pradakshina/ parikrama only around Shiva’s head and ignored Ma Parvati.
Angered Mata took away the Shakti from his body. Rishi lost his blood and flesh and was left with a bare skeletal form.


Seeing him in such a situation where he was unable to support himself, Shiva granted a third leg to him.
Shiva then fused one half of his body with that of Ma Parvati and appeared as Ardha Nareeshwar.
Rishi Bhringi finally realised that Shiv and Shakti are one and the same.

Glorious Vedic Architecture and Temple

Architecture in India was an extremely rich form of expression and highly developed science, with a deep heritage of spirituality in it. #FreeHinduTemple


The centre of all architectural development was the temple and temple or Mandir was the earthly home of God, and like the launching pad for the devotee’s consciousness to soar toward the Divine and the spiritual world.


The murti or deity of the Divine would be placed in the temple sanctum, around which all temple activity would revolve.

Such buildings were often elaborately decorated with stone, wood, plaster, etc. and carved or cut to depict the stories from the Puranas or other sacred texts


Temples were always the centre of religious, social and educational activities, practically more so in
ancient times than today.

During a span of more than two thousand years, various dynasties were known for constructing glorious temples,


some of which include the Mauryan, Ashoka, Gupta, Satavahana, Chedi, Chandella, Chalukya, Solanki, Pallava, Shola, Hoysala, Vijayanagar, and others.

Many of these temples remain beautiful architectural wonders today.
