GHATI SUBRAMANYA, DODDABALLAPURA (KAR)
#bharatmandir

One of the most important place for snake worship.
The murtis of Kartikeya and Narasimha are self-manifested.
There is an anthill which is opposite the shrine. Bhaktas pour milk on it as part of rituals.

Here Subramanya performed penance in the form of snake. He sought protection from Narsimha for Nagas from Sri Vishnu’s vehicle Garuda, known for his dislike towards serpents.
The Pushya Suddha Shasti is one of the biggest festivals here believed to be appearance day of Subramanya

It was in this region where Subramanya vanquished Ghatikasura, the demon. Hence called Ghati Subramanya.
Childless couples visit here to seek blessings for getting a child.
The installation of snake murtis near the shrine is believed to be an auspicious act.

The murti of Karthikeya with a seven headed cobra faces eastwards while Narasimha faces westwards.
To ensure that both are visible to bhaktas at the same time, a huge mirror is placed in the rear in the sanctum sanctorum.

Aurangzeb was a cruel human and our school books have praised him, whitewashed his brutality, turned him into a hero!

Let's read another story which shows the inhuman face of Aurangzeb!

Story of a Brave Brahmin!

When a Brahmin priest defended the temple of Goddess Kali with his life:

This picture shows the Farman of Aurangzeb (3 September 1667) ordering destruction of Kalkaji temple in Delhi.

Reason given? Hindus were gathering in large numbers at the Temple!

That was enough for Aurangzeb to order hundred beldars to go and demolish the Temple without haste!

But when a Brahmin priest of the temple saw the demolishers, he drew out a sword and killed one of them.

He turned back and attacked the Qazi who led demolition squad into temple. The Brahmin was eventually caught and stoned to death.

Our unity has always pinched them, in this peaceful battle of bringing back our Dharma, of going back to our roots let's unite and stand strong 🙏

Shri Hanuman, the cosmic form of energy, strength, intellect and devotion is always seen adorned with sindoor all his body.
But, behind this sindoori colour is a beautiful story which depicts the devotion of Hanuman for Shri Ram.

As Sita Mata adorned herself, she applied sindoor to her forehead. Inquisitive Hanuman observed this action and asked her the reason for doing so. She smiled and replied that by applying sindoor, she ensured a long life for her husband Shri Ram.

The more sindoor she applied, the longer Shri Ram's life would be.
Devoted Hanuman was excited to hear this. Because of his love for Shri Ram, he immediately went forward and smeared his entire body with sindoor, in an effort to ensure Rama’s immortality.

Shri Ram and Sita Mata saw that Hanuman was completly covered in sindoor from head to toe and was curious as to know why.
Hanumanji related his conversation with Sita Mata and thought that if a little pinch of sindoor could do so much for his Swamy,

imagine the protection if Hanuman covered his entire body with it.

Sita Mata, moved by the gesture, explained to Hanuman that applying sindoor was a tradition for married women. Shri Ram, too, was deeply touched by his bhakta's devotion.

Again sharing bank nifty intraday weekly straddle. How to play by selling straddle.
Mostly will work on Monday to Wednesday. Sometimes on Friday.
Why to pay your money to learn this if u can get it here.
U need only practice.
Let’s go.

Say bank nifty future is at 32000.
Sell both 32000 call and put.
Considering current volatile market lest say premium on Monday morning is 350 on both sides.
Sold with 700 points combine premium.
If bank nifty will trade in narrow range say +\- 100 hold it.
If moving 200 points

then exit previous sold straddle. Sell new one. Let’s say BN moved +200
Now sell 32200. If bank nifty will move here within range then u will get profit through theta decay. Follow same procedure for next 150-200 pts move.

This is only for single straddle sell position.

Now in second case sell three straddle. 31900/32000/32100
In case of 100 points move no need to change.
If 200 + then future is 32200.
Exit 31900 and sell 31200 straddle.
If moving another 100 then exit 32000 and sell 32300. Continue same with 100 points move.
If no move then

it will consolidate between 32000-32200 or 32100 to 32300 and u will get theta decay.

This is for normal move. Sudden big move may come anytime. So keep SL in system.
If u r selling at 350-350 then keep SL in system 475 for both legs.
Practice it. No need to attend webinar.

Hello Dear Tweeples! Wishing you all on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and Bhagwān Parashuram Avtaran Diwas!

On this occasion, let's look at one of the imp aspect of humans - EQ (Emotional Quotient).

@anexcommie @shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman @GunduHuDuGa

Am not sure how many of us are aware the vital role EQ plays in shaping us who we're. I read somewhere tht the EQ amongst humans have considerably gone down over yrs while imp is given to IQ.

Let me share a real life story.

@RajeAiyer @SriRamya21 @Speakwithsense1 @wataboutery

A young man in his thirties used to stand on the footpath opposite the famous Tata Cancer Hospital at Mumbai and stare at the crowd in front- fear plainly written upon the faces of the patients standing at death’s door; their relatives with equally grim faces running around...

These sights disturbed him greatly..

Most of the patients were poor people from distant towns. They had no idea whom to meet, or what to do. They had no money for medicines, not even food. The young man, heavily depressed, would return home.

@krithikasivasw @NandiniVenkate3

‘Something should be done for these people’, he would think. He was haunted by the thought day and night.

At last he found a way-

He rented out his own hotel that was doing good business and raised some money.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA AND THE FEROCIOUS BEASTS !

After the passing away of his Master, Sri Ramakrishna, the young Vivekananda took to wandering across India to carry the message of his Master to the people.

1/6

One day, he was walking along a lonely path near Varanasi, when a troop of monkeys, quite aggressive, rushed towards him from behind. Vivekananda took to his heels. But could he give the slip to the swift monkeys?

2/6

The distance between him and the monkeys was becoming narrower and narrower and he was getting rather panicky. Suddenly he heard a voice of exhortation. A Sadhu or a holy man seated beside the road called out to him:

“Don’t run away. Face the brutes!”

3/6

Vivekananda stopped at once.

He turned and dared the monkeys to come near him. Taken aback, the monkeys stopped. As Vivekananda stared at them, they slowly dispersed.

4/6

Later, recounting the incident before an audience in New York, Swami Vivekananda said to this effect: “That was indeed a great lesson; face the danger, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the problems stop harassing us when we stop escaping from them.

UNTOLD STORY OF QUEEN BHAVASHANKARI OF BENGAL - A 🧵u must read

Know the role of Naga Sadhus

PART-1

One of the most underrated empires to ever grace India is the kingdom of Bhurshut from central Bengal.

1/

A medieval powerhouse this kingdom stood firm against the Pathan invasion from Orissa twice, and with each time devastating the enemy forces.

Along with this, we also have to note that this was the time when the empire was under the reign of a widowed queen named Bhavashankari.

She wasn’t even born in a royal family and yet she achieved what most of the kings couldn’t do

This begs the question, why does no one remember this great kingdom?

3/

Bhurshut empire thrived from 15th century till late 18th century as an independent kingdom while acting as tributary state with full autonomy.

4/

What’s even more puzzling is that no one knows about the great queen Bhavanshakari who thrashed the Pathans single handedly without the aid of their allies.

Life of shri Adi Shankaracharya
Adi Shankaracharya wad one of the greatest mahatmas lived in Bharat. He was considered as amsa of shiva came to uplift mankind. He travelled country south to north 3 times and East to West 2 times within 32 years of age.

Parents
He was born in kaladi village in Kerala. Sivaguru and aryamba were devout couples. They were childless they prayed to vadakkunathar for child earnestly. Shiva said in dream whether he need atma Gyani of 16 year or dull son of 100 years. Sivaguru chosed former one.

Birth
Child was born on vaishaka Panchami and tiruvadira nakshatra. They named him Shankara. siva guru died when Shankara was aged 3. Her mother did his upanayanam with help of relatives. Shankara did mastered all Vedas within young childhood itself. All were suprised.

Poorna river changed its course
Once Shankaracharya saw mother struggling to took bath in Poorna river due to old age. Shankara prayed and river changed its course and came near Shankara house. Next day mother was suprised to see this. Now too we can see river Poorna in kaladi

Kanakadhara
Once Shankaracharya went to Bhiksha poor couple offered only Amla left in their house to brahmachari boy. Shankaracharya moved by this gesture immediately sang Kanakadhara stotra glorifying Mahalakshmi and rain of golden amla fall in that place.

YAGYOPAVEET - A FORM OF GAYATRI

Yagyopaveet ( wearing the sacred thread ) symbolises, in itself the realisation of the supreme truth behind the Gayatri Philosophy.

1/4

Gayatri mantra has 9 words, 3 Charans, 3 Vyahiritis and one Omkar so has the Yagyopaveet for it possesses 9 sutras, 3 threads, 3 knots and one supreme knot - the Brahma-Granthi . Since the Yagyopaveet lies over one's shoulders, chest, abdomen and back .

2/4

This signifies Divine control over shoulders, which undertake the heaviest responsibilities of life, over the heart which is supposed to be representing idealisms & emotions, over the abdomen where dwells the valour of a man and over the back, which represents alertness and

3/4

vigour . Thus, the influences that Gayatri excercises through Yagyopaveet on the total personality & endeavours of a man are never forgotten during entire life .

4/4

It was the time when Alauddin Khilji became the Sultan of Delhi after murdering his own uncle. To fulfil his expansionist ambitions Khilji was on a conquering and annexing spree. He tried to annex all the neighbouring Kingdoms. The ones which couldn't be annexed, he conquered.

Among those many Kingdoms was a small but significant Kingdom of Jalore in Rajasthan which he could'nt append to his growing empire. It was during this time when Khilji was planning an attack on the King Karnade of Gujrat for Plundering,Looting his Kingdom&destroying the temples.

Khilji asked all Kingdoms in the path from Delhi to Gujarat to let his Army through the safe passage,to which all the Kingdoms agreed but one.
King Kanhadadev of Jalore didn't trust Khilji &he refused the safe passage anticipating the treacherous attack of Khilji on his Kingdom.

Out of desperation and disappointment Alauddin Khilji invited Kanhadadev to his court.
Kanhadadev however, sent his son Biram Dev. The Rajput Prince had a striking physique and features and a beautiful charismatic personality, who was famous for his valour and wrestling skills.

Khilji provoked Biram Dev for a wrestling match with the best of his fighters, to which the Prince agreed. However, more than a wrestling match, it was a conspiracy to kill him as Khilji had ordered his fighter to Kill Biram Dev during the fight.

SOUTHADKA SRI MAHAGANPATI, BELTHANGADI TALUK (KAR)
#bharatmandir

Southe is cucumber and adka is meadow in Kannada.
Here, Maha Ganapathi is out in the open field without a Garbha gudi and shrine structure. The place is decorated with lot of bells offered for special wishes.

Once, a Ganapati shrine revered by a royal family was destroyed by enemies. To prevent enemies from destroying Ganapati murti, the cow herds of the place carried it along with them and installed it in a place where cucumber was grown in plenty.
@GunduHuDuGa

The farmers of the place reaped huge harvests of cucumber, offered it to Ganapati and wished to build a shrine there but Ganapati appeared in their dream and asked them not to build a shrine as that would mean restrictions on devotees visiting the place to seek his blessings.

So no shrine was built here.
The most popular seva offered here is avalakki panchakajjaya seva (a mixture of beaten rice, jiggery, til, coconut, honey and banana) performed on a regular basis.
Moodappa Seve is very prominent, which involves covering the Mahaganapathi with Appam

LESSER KNOWN PEOPLE OF INDIA - PART 3

A long 🧵that u must read

How many of u know this man ?

Commandant Alok Awasthy of NDRF

I bet less than 1% of those reading know .

Remember the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster at Japan in 2011.

1/11

Three disasters namely Earthquake, Tsunami and Radiation leak left Japan paralyzed completely.

Due to inexpertise and the high risk involved because of radiation ,

2/11

only 23 countries in the world out of 194 came forward to help by sending relief personnel to Japan and India was one among the 23.

India prepared a team of 46 men from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) led by Commandant Alok Awasthy.

3/11

On 26 March 2011,NDRF was airlifted and deployed at Miyagi prefecture, the worst hit of all the regions. Miyagi was totally devastated and was full of debris.

The NDRF carried 8800 kg of luggage that included food and water as nothing was available there.

4/11

They used to dig up debris with their BARE HANDS that too in bone chilling -2°C out of respect for the dead as Japanese local traditions didn’t believe in mutilation/disfigurement of dead bodies.

5/11

DEVI KARUMARIAMMAN, THIRUVERKADU (TN)

Devi is worshipped here as both Swayambhu (self-manifested) and as Parashakti (with 4 arms holding skull,sword,trishul,udukkai/damru).

Here, Muruga got Vel from Devi to fight Suran. So the place was called Vel kadu which became Verkadu.

It is said that there was an anthill here long ago. Devi appeared in the dream of a devotee and asked him to build a shrine at that spot. When the anthill was removed, the swayambhu murti of Devi emerged. So Devi is called Karuvil Illadha Karumari ( not in the womb of mother).

Once, Devi went to Surya in the form of an old woman but Surya neglected her. Devi’s anger made Surya lose his brightness.
To appease her, Surya said that His rays would fall on Her directly twice in a year and touch her feet. Also, Sunday is celebrated as day of Devi Karumari.

There is also a wooden image of Devi (Marachilai Amman) here. Devotees offer locks to her in the belief that She would safe guard their houses.
Temple tank (Thiruchamber Poigai) is said to have been created by Subramanya. Taking dip in it is said to cure skin related disorders.

Periyanayagi or Brihannayaki. This is one of the 4 temples where Brahma did Prathista.

Sthala Puranam says that,  Devaki, came here and worshipped Amman. After worshiping here Devaki gave birth of Sri Krishna. Thus the area is called Devakipuram.

How Saif Ali Khan's great grandfather tried to merge Bhopal in Pakistan: [Thread]

Saif's great grandfather was the Nawab of Bhopal.

He was a staunch supporter of Pakistan & Jinnah. He governed Bhopal by Sharia.

He wrote a letter inviting King of Afghanistan to invade India.

August 2 1947: Saif Ali Khan's great grandfather, Nawab of Bhopal wrote a letter to Jinnah.

He clearly states

"I am a staunch supporter of Pakistan. I want to merge Bhopal in Pakistan. Hindus are untrustworthy.

But Bhopal is 80% Hindu and surrounded by India. I am cut off"

He further says

"Hindus are intimidating me to join India. I know Pakistan has no means of helping me. But I want to know how much Pakistan can help me.

I would never sign and join India, come what might . I will continue to serve Pakistan and Islam!"

In other words, Saif Ali Khan's family tried everything in their power to merge Bhopal in Pakistan. But as Bhopal was in the center of India, neither Jinnah nor Nawab had military means to resist India. Had Bhopal been a frontier kingdom, it would have been a part of Pakistan!

🌺जब गणेश जी की क्षुधा शान्त न कर पाए धन कुबेर🌺

सनातन धर्म में धन, सुख और समृद्धि के देवता कुबेर माने गए हैं ।एक बार कुबेर जी को इसी बात का अभिमान हो आया कि उनका इस संसार में कितना महत्व है। उनके बिना तो कोई भी व्यक्ति धन,सुख और समृद्धि को नहीं पा सकता।

कुबेर को इसबात का घमंड होगया कि उनमें इतनी क्षमता है कि वो सभी का भरण पोषण कर सकते हैं।उनके धन वैभव से वो किसी को भी तृप्त कर सकते हैं।अब कुबेर सभी देवी देवताओं के पास जाकर स्वयं ही अपना गुणगान करने लगे व ये सोचने लगे कि वे ऐसा क्या करें कि तीनों लोकों में उनकी और भी जय जयकार हो।

एकदिन अभिमान में चूर कुबेर जी कि मुलाकात देवर्षि नारद से होती है।नारद जी के सामने भी कुबेर अपना बखान और गुणगान करना शुरु कर देते हैं और उनसे ये पूछते हैं कि उन्हें और क्या करना चाहिये जिससे कि उनके वर्चस्व में चार चाँद लग जाएं। नारद जी उनकी बातों में छुपे अहंकार को भांप लेते हैं।

तब देवर्षि उन्हें कुछ ऐसा करने को कहते हैं जिससे कुबेर जी का अहंकार चूर हो जाए।नारद कुबेर को कहते हैं,"हे कुबेर!आपको अपने वर्चस्व में चार चाँद लगाने के लिए एक भव्य भोज का आयोजन करना चाहिए व उस भोज में संसार के सभी जीवों,सभी देवी-देवता,नाग,गन्धर्व,यक्ष आदि को आमंत्रित करना चाहिए।

इनके अलावा आप त्रिदेवों ब्रह्मा,विष्णु और महेश को भी सपरिवार आमंत्रित करें।ऐसे भव्य भोज का आयोजन करने से चारों दिशाओं और तीनों लोकों में आपके धन-वैभव और समृद्धि की जय-जयकार होगी।" कुबेर देवर्षि कि ये बात सुन बहुत ही खुश होते हैं और भव्य-भोज की तैयारी शुरु कर देते हैं ।

In a business where the buying & selling price is fixed by the government, how is that the sugar stocks are rallying so much?

A thread 🧵 to learn how the sugar sector works. Do re-tweet and hence us educate more investors (1/n)

- Sugar is made out of Sugarcane
- The government fixes buying price (FRP – Fair & Remunerative price) for the mill from the farmers at 2.850/Kg
- Selling price is also fixed at Rs. 31/Kg (MSP – Minimum selling price) (2/n)

Lets understand the sector,

- Sugarcane purchased by the mill is crushed to remove the juice (exactly like you have sugarcane juice at a hotel)
- Juice is heated & boiled to remove sugar (3/n)

- The juice can be boiled upto 3 times to remove sugar. Each time it is boiled, sugar is removed, than some water is added and boiled again to remove more sugar (4/n)

- There are 2 by-products as well. The residue left behind after the boiling process is over is like a gum/paste called molasses & the fiber/stem of the sugarcane after juice is extracted (5/n)

EXPLANATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY !

A 🧵 u must read

What Is Dark Energy ?

More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery.

1/9

But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe.

2/9

This diagram reveals changes in the rate of expansion since the universe's birth 15 billion years ago. The more shallow the curve, the faster the rate of expansion. The curve changes noticeably about 7.5 billion years ago, when objects in the universe began flying apart as

3/9

a faster rate. Astronomers theorize that the faster expansion rate is due to a mysterious, dark force that is pulling galaxies apart.

WHAT OUR SANATAN DHARMA SAYS IN THIS CONTEXT LET’S TAKE A LOOK

The verses of Taittiriya Aranyaka say that only one pada of the Lord

4/9

is this manifested universe and the remaining three padas are outside it.

According to the observations and realizations of ancient seers, nearly eighty percent of this universe is yet of unknown nature which remains inactive during the process of creation (rather, evolution).
