Even other countries face this challenge but there, it is between liberal society founded on Abrahamic principles and this religion.
India is unique because of the nature of Sanatana Dharma
One religion focuses on living a good, decent life, doing one’s dharma while being cognizant of impact of one’s actions over many births.
Other focuses only on after life, advocates even hurting others in its name.
Under which system can they coexist - serious answers pls

1. values his own existence so poorly that life has no meaning for him
2. Or brainwashed to believe that some lives aren't even lives so they can be taken
3. or rewards of some mythical heaven worth killing
So I can understand why Modi Ji is working to bring them into mainstream and give them hope in life away from those who have kept them in ghettos.
That takes care of the 1st group.
What abt the other 2?
But the second and third - those that don’t value non-believers’ life is worth it or those that think promise of heaven is more important. How does one handle them.
Hoping for internal reformation hasn’t worked out.
What now?
But let the other two know that whatever rewards they expect in heaven their stay in this world after they commit violence would be worse than anything they imagine.
Carrot & stick
One civilization feels like doing good deeds is the way to attain Moksha (NOT same as heaven).
Other thinks even killing is worth doing to get to heaven.
In this clash only one will win. Who will it be?
1. Yes we consider our relationship to divine personal but we were a community. Rebuild connections
2. Go to local temple on certain day as community. We used to do this: Friday - Devi, Mon - shiva etc. you aren’t alone
4. You can still keep your traditions and practices and your community without using caste as a wall. They will use it to divide you. Realize you are Hindu first.
6. Boycott brands that support conversion or don’t condemn violence against you.
7. Vote blindly for BJP. Defeat every anti Hindu party first. Then ask BJP to do it’s job
Please live as a good Hindu and raise a Hindu family in touch with its roots and culture. Don’t worry about those that look down on Sanskari / traditional types. They aren’t your friends.

Wanted to share some thoughts on the topic of work life balance that @Kishoreciyer1 brought up and on which @wataboutery so eloquently expounded.
Early in my career I was lucky enough to work in roles I loved and under nurturing managers who were my mentors. (Contd)
2/n
I worked hard and long. But I always returned home not contended with that day’s work and hungry for more. That satisfaction at work made my home life enjoyable. I found time to play badminton and volleyball. Work and life were perfectly balanced.
3/n
I couldn’t wait to go to work. Great team and good manager.
But as I got married and responsibilities increased demands on my time grew, especially as just married man helping my wife acclimatize with US.
I sought work - life balance because ..everyone seeks, right?
4/n
As luck would have it 9/11 happens, economy goes for a tail spin, and my company files for bankruptcy. So time to buckle up.
This is when I realized work life balance isn’t what I sought. I wanted a satisfying work that did not require me to compromise key personal goals
5/n
Working hard to keep up the morale in a company in bankruptcy isn’t easy. But that gave my career a mission.
When you are passionate about your work and committed to it, and have a good manager you can find ways to be effective without compromising your personal life

This has taken efforts, and these notes aren't preaching, but somethings I practise sincerely, because of what I said in the opening tweet: this is a topic that is very close to my heart!

With Margazhi month upon us I’m going to try and post some verses from Thiruppavai with English translation. Apologizing ahead if there are any errors.
Thank you @GunduHuDuGa dor reminding us about Margazhi
Here are some resources to both get the verses and read in detail the translation and the more detailed treatment of the meaning of the devotional verses.
#Thiruppavai
Andal is Devi’s amsavatharam, Sri Devi incarnated in the form of Seethā performed upadeshak to the people of the earth. It is said that she even did Upadesham to Ravana who did not heed her but in his next birth as Sisupālan redeemed himself.
Through her #Thiruppavai prabhandham she is showing us the way to reach Bhagavan’s feet.
Verse 1 continued below
Paasuram (Verse) 1 of Thiruppavai

Well ornamented maidens, those desirous of taking bath in the holy River please come on

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
