What is the relation between Marathas and Varanasi?

In the 18th century, India witnessed a political revival of the Indian society with regional dynasties – largely the Marathas making it big in the subcontinent


With the rise of the Marathas, Varanasi witnessed a massive surge in the new construction of Temples and Ghats on the banks of Ganga and the redevelopment of the old ones.

Marathas carried out rebuilding on a grand scale in the eighteenth century and Varanasi once again

regained its Hindu look
The Maratha connection to Varanasi goes back to at least 1590, when Narayan Bhatt a Marathi Brahmin assisted Todarmal in rebuilding the Kashi Vishwanath temple (which had been destroyed by Sikander Lodhi and which was in turn destroyed by Aur@ngzeb).

He was the grandfather of Gagabhatt, who presided over Chhatrapati Shivaji’s coronation ceremony in 1674.

Chhatrapati Shivaji is himself known to have halted in disguise at Benares after successfully escaping from Agra, on his way to the

south.

Although not one to base any decision solely on emotional reactions, the destruction of temples in Kashi and Mathura played an important role in Shivaji Raje's decision to open hostilities against the Mughals in 1670.

Following the death of Aurangzeb, Peshwa Balaji

PREVIOUS LIFE OF THE HORSE USED IN ASHWAMEDHA YAGYA OF SHRI RAM.

We all are aware of each and every aspect of Prabhu Shri Ram's life. But not many will know the previous life of the horse selected for the Ashwamedha Yagya.

The story describes the preparations for this


Yagya as directed by Muni Vashishtha. This Yagya was well attended by Kings, Muni's and even devtas from swarg lok. Sixty four Kings were directed to bring the pious water of Saryu. After performing the puja of Devta's, Rishi's and Brahmins, it was the time for the Yagya horse to

sanctified. So the pious water was poured on the horse.

But the next words of Shri Ram made everyone curious with attention. Prabhu said to the horse that in this Mandap full of sacred people, it is now your turn to purify me. This sounded very very strange to all present there

Prabhu was the antaryaami and he uttering these words sounded strange. But Prabhu innocently touches the horse.

As soon as Prabhu touched the horse it started acquiring a human form. Prabhu now told the man to reveal his identity.

After paying his respects to Prabhu,

he narrated his story from previous life. He was a Brahmin but once due to his false bragging he was suffering its consequences in this life. Once he was sitting on the banks of Saryu river and trying to fool people by his conceit. It was that time when Rishi Durvaasa happened

THE THIRD EYE EXPERIENCE

More knowledge expands our consciousness, the expansion of consciousness is the mercy of the soul. Further knowledge comes to us through special senses, such as the celestial eye and the subtle body.


Eye of knowledge (Third eye):
The Third Eye (Ajna chakra) will turn the understanding of meditation into reality. A tremendous experience that shows, you have experienced meditation.
Eye of knowledge is a very powerful medium of our soul, a very powerful tool for seeing, feeling,

and hearing the reality of the afterlife. These three processes of the soul are the eye of knowledge.
More we meditate, the more power we get, the more power the dynamic eye moves. This is a unique experience of meditation
When the clairvoyant becomes dynamic, we feel the

we feel the tension on our brain, we see different colors all around us, And we feel as if we are traveling in a silent dark black tunnel. We have heard different sounds, the arrival of second-level clouds. We see the great man whose physical form is not with us. We see the

great man whose physical form is in our imagination. When consciousness increases we experience tingling in the physical body. It feels like our body is swimming, it looks like not only our limbs, our body feels as light as wings. This power is called transcendental power.

हर शुभ कार्य से पहले क्यों बनाया जाता है स्वास्तिक, जानिए इसका कारण और रहस्य?

स्वस्तिक अत्यन्त प्राचीन काल से भारतीय संस्कृति में मंगल और शुभता का प्रतीक माना जाता रहा है। हिंदू धर्म में किसी भी शुभ कार्य से पहले स्वास्तिक का चिन्ह अवश्य बनाया जाता है। स्वास्तिक शब्द सु+अस+क


शब्दों से मिलकर बना है। 'सु' का अर्थ अच्छा या शुभ, 'अस' का अर्थ 'सत्ता' या 'अस्तित्व' और 'क' का अर्थ 'कर्त्ता' या करने वाले से है। इस प्रकार 'स्वस्तिक' शब्द में किसी व्यक्ति या जाति विशेष का नहीं, अपितु सम्पूर्ण विश्व के कल्याण या 'वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्' की भावना निहित है। 'स्वस्तिक'

अर्थात् 'कुशलक्षेम या कल्याण का प्रतीक ही स्वस्तिक है। स्वस्तिक में एक दूसरे को काटती हुई दो सीधी रेखाएँ होती हैं, जो आगे चलकर मुड़ जाती हैं। इसके बाद भी ये रेखाएँ अपने सिरों पर थोड़ी और आगे की तरफ मुड़ी होती हैं। स्वस्तिक की यह आकृति दो प्रकार की हो सकती है। प्रथम

स्वस्तिक, जिसमें रेखाएँ आगे की ओर इंगित करती हुई हमारे दायीं ओर मुड़ती हैं। इसे 'स्वस्तिक' कहते हैं। यही शुभ चिह्न है, जो हमारी प्रगति की ओर संकेत करता है।स्वस्तिक को ऋग्वेद की ऋचा में सूर्य का प्रतीक माना गया है और उसकी चार भुजाओं को चार दिशाओं की उपमा दी गई है।

सिद्धान्तसार नामक ग्रन्थ में उसे विश्व ब्रह्माण्ड का प्रतीक चित्र माना गया है। उसके मध्य भाग को विष्णु की कमल नाभि और रेखाओं को ब्रह्माजी के चार मुख, चार हाथ और चार वेदों के रूप में निरूपित किया गया है। अन्य ग्रन्थों में चार युग, चार वर्ण, चार आश्रम एवं धर्म, अर्थ, काम और मोक्ष

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.


Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that


mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared


here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah

If you are the CEO or CFO at a business who banks with SVB; here are some things you CAN do over the weekend

1. Build a 4 week rolling daily receipts and payments style cashflow forecast.

2. Gear up finance team to actualize & reforecast every AM by 10am

3. Schedule a Daily Cash Management Crisis call for 10am every day. CEO to chair

4. Redirect any future cash receipts / revenue into non SVB accounts. Don’t throw fresh money on the fire.

5. If SVB is your only current bank. Open accounts with 2 other AA or A rated banks.

6. Go supplier by supplier and grade them a, b or c
a - showstoppers
b - pay if you can
c - don’t pay

You want as few a’s as possible, ideally none.

7. Find out how to get your $250k FDIC cash.

8. If you are able to pull any deposits or bonds back into a non SVB account. Do it. Put hands on any liquid you can.

9. Communicate a salary deferral plan with your top team. CEO takes the most pain $ and %. Important signal.

10. Elevate sign off of all new POs to CEO and CFO jointly. Don’t sign any off.

11. Make a list of ‘survival headcount’. The bare minimum on which the business can operate.

You may need this to prioritize payroll later.

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?

Introducing Voltron: Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics!

Paper: https://t.co/gIsRPtSjKz
Models: https://t.co/NOB3cpATYG
Evaluation: https://t.co/aOzQu95J8z

🧵👇(1 / 12)


Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.

Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)

The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (https://t.co/Pb0mk9hb4i) and R3M (https://t.co/o2Fkc3fP0e).

The secret is *balance* (3/12)

Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:

1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.

2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)

By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.

Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island.


The Sentinelese are often described as “uncontacted,” but this not strictly true. They had a very significant contact in 1880 with Commander Portman.

Portman, the black sheep third son of some minor noble, was assigned by the English Royal Navy to administer and pacify the Andaman Islands, a job he pursued from 1880-1900 with the full measure of his own perversity.


Portman was erotically obsessed with the Andamanese, and he indulged his passion for photography by kidnapping members of various tribes and posing them in mock-Greek homoerotic compositions.


During his 20 years in a sexualized heart of darkness, Portman measured and cataloged every inch of his prisoner’s bodies, with an obsessive focus on genitals.

1/Politics thread time.

To me, the most important aspect of the 2018 midterms wasn't even about partisan control, but about democracy and voting rights. That's the real battle.

2/The good news: It's now an issue that everyone's talking about, and that everyone cares about.

3/More good news: Florida's proposition to give felons voting rights won. But it didn't just win - it won with substantial support from Republican voters.

That suggests there is still SOME grassroots support for democracy that transcends
