#Thread on Sri Rudram

The text of Sri Rudram is drawn from Krishna Yajurved, one of the four Veds.

Sri Rudram is divided into two parts - the Namakam and the Chamakam.

Flamingos

Thousands of flamingos migrate to Mumbai every year between the months of October & March before flying out around June.

They arrive from the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat and Sambhar Lake in Rajasthan, some even from Iran and Israel.

A census by the Bombay Natural History Society in January 2019 had counted 1,21,000  flamingos in Mumbai then.

Besides the Navi Mumbai creek, environmentalists have noticed a huge flock of flamingos at Thane Creek, Uran, Panju Island and Vasai, as well.

One major problem is obviously the destruction of wetlands. This thread isn't about that.

From around 2016 onwards, the local fishermen started spotting injured and wounded flamingos mainly in the parts of Uran, ( Raigad) and Palghar (infamously famous).

Flamingos with broken legs, broken body parts, clipped wings, etc. The aim is to make them handicapped. Once they become handicapped, it's easy to capture them and sell their meat. They are considered to be a great delicacy.

And most of these are killed and sold as 'special chicken meat'.

Flamingos are our guests and in India, we believe in अतिथि देवो भवः!

Thread on #RealHeroesofIndia

Murlidhar Devidas Amte was the eldest son of Devidas and Laxmibai Amte. His father Devidas was a powerful bureaucrat with the pre-independence British administration and a wealthy landowner in the Wardha district.

Being the first child of an affluent family, Muralidhar was never denied a single thing by his parents since childhood.

His parents lovingly called him ‘Baba’ and the name stuck with him. At a very young age, Baba owned a gun and used to hunt wild boar and deer.

Later, he went on to own an expensive sports car, cushioned with panther skin.

Baba studied law and earned his LLB degree from Law College in Wardha. He set up a law practice in his native town which soon became successful.

One day, he stumbled upon a a bundle of rags which was moving. On closer inspection, he was a human in his last stage of leprosy. Rotting mass of human flesh, only holes instead of nostrils, no trace of fingers or toes.

At first, Baba fled in fear; later, he returned, realizing that the only way to mitigate the fear he felt was to replace it with love. It was a turning point in his life.

He had no idea about leprosy and its treatment.

While describing the Ultimate State of consciousness, *Shri Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj says this in his main labour of love, Dnyaneshwari* :

"जेथ हें संसारचित्र उमटे/तो मनोरूप पट फाटे/जैसें सरोवर आटे/मग प्रतिमा नाही// ५.२८.१५६

तैसें मनपण मुदल जाये । मग अहंभावादिक कें आहे ।म्हणोनि शरीरेंचि ब्रह्म होये । अनुभवी तो ॥ १५७ ॥

Here is a loose translation of these verses:

" The screen, in the form of mind, on which the image of the world arises, gets torn apart/

Just the way, there is no reflection to be seen when a lake completely dries up //" 5.28.156

"Thus, when the mind disappears altogether, where is the sense of a separate Self etc then/
Therefore, the body itself turns into Bramhan/(This) The person experiences//" 5.28.157

Indians are famouspfor Jugaad.

Most parents are worried about their child and always make sure that they aren't addicted to drugs.

Each one listed below is addictive and has several side effects.

So let me tell you the 'jugaad'

1. Iodex Sandwiches

Applying a generous amount of Iodex balm on a slice of bread making the grossest sandwich ever! But they eat it as it gives them a certain high & makes them feel light headed.

2. Drinking hand sanitizer/after shave lotions

One large bottle of hand sanitiser contains alcohol equivalent to 32 vodka shots!

3. Inhaling whiteners (liquid)/ink/deodorants

Again it gives a high. The habit might begin with a friend suggesting a way to relax after a rigorous period of studying or from information gleaned online or from the peer group.

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.

It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.

So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.

The Statue of Equality is a monument in India dedicated to the 11th-century Vaishnavaite Sage Bhagavad Ramanuja, commemorating 1000 years since his birth. It was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji in 2019.

In 2014, Sri Chinna Jeeyar came up with the idea to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Sri Ramanuja's teachings by building the Statue of Equality. The statue is constructed on an estimated 34 acres in Hyderabad, India.

It consists of a 216 foot tall statue of Ramanuja and is surrounded by 108 Divyadesams (model temples) and includes an educational gallery. The project budget is 1000 crore rupees.The foundation stone for the Statue of Equality was laid by Chinna Jeeyar.

The statue was built by Aerosun Corporation in China before being shipped to India. It is made of panchaloha, a combination of gold, silver, copper, brass and titanium. The statue relies on donations to fund its construction.

The temple is located on the 27,870 square metre second floor with a 120 kg statue of Ramanuja, representing the years he lived, meant for daily worship. The 1,365 square metre third floor including a Vedic digital library and research center.

1. #Qanon told us that Saudi Arabia is a central piece of the puzzle in taking out the Deep State...we are watching the Deep State attempt to remove Crown Prince MBS and disrupt Pres Trump's administration's ties with MBS and the "new" Saudi/US coalition. Early in his admin,

2....@Potus sent Jared Kushner (JK) to SA on an undisclosed trip and told King Salman that business as usual was over, and if he wanted Pres Trump's support, Prince Alwaleed would have to be divested of $ and power; Alwaleed is one of top Deep State $ men and was tied to HRC.

3. @Potus knew that before he could begin cleansing the US and the rest of the world of the DS, he would have to cut one of the financial head's off the snake (Alwaleed). After JK met w/ King Salman, Alwaleed was arrested and divested of billions; MBS became leader of SA.

4. SA loves Pres Trump because he's a man of his word; SA could not trust Hussein or Clintons because they use SA for oil and leverage; SA has many factions, but essentially you have the new and upcoming SA that is attempting to modernize through Crown Prince MBS, and then you

5...have the old guard represented by Alwaleed who was one of the Deep State financial heads and loyal to the DS more than SA; SA knew Hussein was financing Iran to hold western world hostage, and SA was caught in middle of Deep State black mail; this is why @Potus was celebrated
