Can I be honest about something? Also, let me know if you have felt this too now that we've survived 2020.

I'm so burnt out on the bad actors that have infiltrated the Body of Christ, especially this past year, that it's really testing my ability to trust others.

1/

Like, I feel like I don't want to talk on the phone to even people that I know because I just feel fried.

2/
I don't want to open up, even to others who haven't done anything wrong to me, because I'm burnt out on sinking hours and hours into fellowship with people who turn out to be bad faith actors.

3/
Since about the last half of 2019, and of course definitely through all of the craziness of 2020, there are so many people who I've met or spoken with because of this channel who have shown their true colors.

4/
There is no love in them for their neighbors, and definitely not for the lost. They're like Cain who said, "am I my brother's keeper?" I guess it's better late than never to find this out, but it still is disheartening.

5/
It's frankly scary how many people have this mask on that they care about Jesus' sheep, but in actuality, "Jesus" is just the word they throw around to get people's guard down so that they can use them to begin grifting...

6/
... or promoting whatever pet issue is their actual religion (which never has anything to do with Jesus.)

Why isn't Jesus enough for some people? Why are so many people comfortable using entire congregations of Jesus' sheep? Do they not fear God?

7/
I don't know. It's like, I always want to give others grace and the benefit of the doubt, but I feel like that is no longer a prudent way to go about life in the ministry, and that sucks.

8/
I know that Paul wrote often about bad actors in ministry, so this isn't a "woe is me, why does this only happen to me" thing, it's a "false brothers really put a damper on fellowship, and always have & always will."

9/
I'm realizing that it's not until you're in ministry that you can empathize with a ton of issues that the prophets and apostles complained about in the Bible. The issues they faced are very much relevant today.

Knowledge & Bharat : Part V

The Curriculum of Vedic Education :
According to the Ancient Indian theory of education, the training of the mind & the process of thinking, are essential for the acquisition of knowledge.

Vedic Education System delivered outstanding results.  These were an outcome of the context in which it functioned.  Understanding them is critical in the revival of such a system in modern times. 
The Shanthi Mantra spells out the context of the Vedic Education System.


It says:

ॐ सह नाववतु ।
सह नौ भुनक्तु ।
सह वीर्यं करवावहै ।
तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

“Aum. May we both (the guru and disciples) together be protected. May we both be nourished and enriched. May we both bring our hands together and work

with great energy, strength and enthusiasm from the space of powerfulness. May our study and learning together illuminate both with a sharp, absolute light of higher intelligence. So be it.”

The students started the recitation of the Vedic hymns in early hours of morning.


The chanting of Mantras had been evolved into the form of a fine art. Special attention was paid to the correct pronunciation of words, Pada or even letters. The Vedic knowledge was imparted by the Guru or the teacher to the pupil through regulated and prescribed pronunciation,

In the past, we had a glimpse of Lakshmana's devotion towards Sri Rama, his brother and father figure.

However, it is interesting to note his unique relationship with Sita, especially as seen by from her perspective.

Thread below

1/

We all know about the Golden Deer / Maricha incident and the way Sita influences Lakshmana to go in search of his brother.

Personally, I am unable to get 2 strong emotional points in one thread and hence, I will skip this incident for today.

2/

In Sundara Kanda, when Hanuman meets Sita, she says the following

सिंहस्कन्धो महाबाहुर्मनस्वी प्रियदर्शिनः।
पितृवद्वर्तते रामे मातृवन्मां समाचरन्।।

Lakshmana, who has lionshoulders and strong arms, who is handsome, who takes Rama as his father & treats me as his own mother

3/

ह्रियमाणां तदा वीरो न तु मां वेद लक्ष्मणः।
वृद्धोपसेवी लक्ष्मीवान् शक्तो न बहुभाषिता।।

Heroic Lakshmana, did not know while I was borne away. He is prosperous, foremost in serving elders. He is energetic and reserved in his speech like my father-in-law ..

4/

He is a prince dear (to his brother).

These are from Sarga-38, shlokas 60 and 61.

There are 3 distinct points which I want to draw the attention of the reader to.

1. She also compares Lakshmana to Dasaratha much like how Rama did when he constructed the hut in panchavati
