🌺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

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).

WHY BABUR NEVER TRIED TO ATTACK SRI KRISHNADEVARAYA ?

A🧵u must read

It is very well known that Babur considered Krishna Dev Raya as the strongest ruler of the entire subcontinent, and Vijayanagar empire the strongest during that time in India.

1/10

The Vijayanagar empire reached its peak during 1509-1529 around the reign of Krishna Dev Raya.

Vijayanagar’s famed elephant brigade 👇

2/10

At his command there were over 50000 elite troops with a regiment of Portuguese gunners and 3200 cavalry with 600 elephants.

3/10

Along with that more than four hundred thousand ( four lakh) peasant levies and irregular military made this empire one of the largest in all of South Asia.

During Baburs invasion, Krishna Dev Raya ruled supreme in all of deccan.

In fact, in an all our brawl, Krisha Dev Raya will beat Babur fair and square.

Babur could muster at max 50000 troops with 50 canons.

While Krishna Dev Raya had these numbers in Hampi alone

Some hard facts on India's battle with Chinese Virus. This will disappoint @narendramodi haters. I will dismantle their narrative.

138 Cr people. That is 196 countries in the world from Morocco to Holy See.

Indian PM = 196 Prime Ministers of the world.

Let that sink in first.

~ Announced locked down early on, received severe criticism quoting economic impact

~ Provided guidance and funding for Oxygen plants to set up in states a year ago

~ In August last year, MoH provided guidelines and asked states to develop their own protocols for arrivals

~ Since 4 Dec 20, started sending states estimates (District wise) of future requirements of bed capacities

~ Created an online tool for states to record needs

~ Since 27 Feb 21, MoH sent warnings to states asking to reinforce Covid behaviours and 'deal firmly with violations'

~ On 22 Dec 20, MoH issued the SOP for Surveillance & response for the new SARS Cov-2 variant

~ This warning and SOP was extended on 31 Jan

Hey, warning was all over the place. Centre was practically screaming to states.

Many obvious states ignored all of the above.

~ Most with cumulative deaths above 10k were non-BJP ruled states with Maharashtra leading the table (MH, Punjab, WB, Delhi, Chattisgarh (😠), TN, KA, UP)

~ Maharashtra's deaths is 5 times that of UP. But UP population is double of Maharashtra

Let that too sink in.

Pyramiding 2.0

A thread-

What is pyramiding?

It is simply adding to your winners.

Why use pyramiding?

1. It makes your winners bigger than your losers.

• Because you are adding positions when your trades are going your way, you are increasing your gains but your losers will be small comparatively.

2. You lose less during Draw-down time ( it saves you from losing big during whipsaws )

• Many times when the market is in sideways mode, Entering a trade with full risk might not be the best idea.

• So, you test the waters with a small position first, it could be ⅓ or ¼ of your total risk.

• So if the Breakout fails or whipsaws come, then you will only lose a small part of your overall risk.

• Then when position starts to go in your favor you can add to it.

3. It helps you to concentrate on a few trades,

They say that don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but don’t put them in too many either.

• See, Everyone can see charts and find breakouts, pullbacks etc.

Pandit Rameshwar Nath Kao (Kashmiri Hindu)- The Czar of India's Counter Intelligence

A 🧵

In modern times, a well organized intelligence net work is a must for any country for maintaining its internal security and for properly protecting it from foreign aggression.

1/12

After the massive Chinese aggression in 1962, a need was felt to have an agency to gather foreign intelligence so that our nation should not be caught unawares in future about any such misadventure by our neighbouring countries.

2/12

The man who gave a concrete shape to this idea with solid foundation was Pt. Rameshwar Nath Kao, popularly known as Ramji among his friends and colleagues.

3/12

R.N. Kao started his career by joining the Imperial Police in 1940. Kao’s first assignment as the assistant superintendent of police was to provide VVIP security and he was direct incharge of the security ring of Jawahar Lal Nehru.

4/12

Due to the failures of Sino-Indo war, This was the guy handpicked by Indira Gandhi to start R&AW (Research & Analysis Wing) in 1968. Kao spent nine years as the founder of RAW (1968–77).

1971 Indo-Pak War had two wings, intelligence and army.

SOME OF THE MAJOR KINGS OF SOUTHERN INDIA

A 🧵 u must read

1. Pazhassi Raja

Pazhassi Raja is one of the first freedom fighters of our mother land and I think he is one of the most underrated one.

His battle against the British is the stuff of legends.

1/20

So much so that he was called the lion of Kerala ( Kerala Simham)

Pazhassi Raja aimed to preserve the independence and unity of his kingdom while the British were determined to annex and dismember it.

2/20

His own desire for independence and sense of betrayal by English on their earlier promise to respect his country’s independence.

He was perhaps one of the only single kings who went toe to toe against the largest and richest empires of the world at that time.

3/20

The English force depleted at almost 80% during the war against the Lion of Kerala.

Estimates say that the British had around 15000 troops as a conservative number while Pazhassi Raja had around 3000 with no fortifications like castles.

4/20

And he still gave the British a run for its money for more than 10 years.

Statue of Equality (Ramanuja) Muchintal, Hyderabad, Telangana

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.

The Ife Primary Education Research Project (1970-1983).

aka

The Ife 6-Year Primary Project.

In 1970, as the Director of the Institute of Education of the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife), later Dean Faculty of Education, Prof. Babs Fafunwa & his team embarked on one of the most groundbreaking research projects in education for Yorubaland.

The aim of the project was to test the hypothesis that the best instructional medium for good concept formation at a very tender age is the mother tongue.

This was bolstered by the observation that “of all the continents and peoples of the world, it is only in Africa…

…that formal education is offered in a language that is foreign to the child.”

So, Yoruba was to be used & tested as an exclusive medium of passing information or instructions to a set of pupils.

The project was based on the premise that:

(a). the child will benefit culturally, socially, linguistically & cognitively.

(b). the child’s command of English will be improved if he is taught English as an entirely separate subject by a specialist teacher through the 6 years.

प्राचीन काल में गाधि नामक एक राजा थे।उनकी सत्यवती नाम की एक पुत्री थी।राजा गाधि ने अपनी पुत्री का विवाह महर्षि भृगु के पुत्र से करवा दिया।महर्षि भृगु इस विवाह से बहुत प्रसन्न हुए और उन्होने अपनी पुत्रवधु को आशीर्वाद देकर उसे कोई भी वर मांगने को कहा।

सत्यवती ने महर्षि भृगु से अपने तथा अपनी माता के लिए पुत्र का वरदान मांगा।ये जानकर महर्षि भृगु ने यज्ञ किया और तत्पश्चात सत्यवती और उसकी माता को अलग-अलग प्रकार के दो चरू (यज्ञ के लिए पकाया हुआ अन्न) दिए और कहा कि ऋतु स्नान के बाद तुम्हारी माता पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर पीपल का आलिंगन...

...करें और तुम भी पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर गूलर वृक्ष का आलिंगन करना। आलिंगन करने के बाद चरू का सेवन करना, इससे तुम दोनो को पुत्र प्राप्ति होगी।परंतु मां बेटी के चरू आपस में बदल जाते हैं और ये महर्षि भृगु अपनी दिव्य दृष्टि से देख लेते हैं।

भृगु ऋषि सत्यवती से कहते हैं,"पुत्री तुम्हारा और तुम्हारी माता ने एक दुसरे के चरू खा लिए हैं।इस कारण तुम्हारा पुत्र ब्राह्मण होते हुए भी क्षत्रिय सा आचरण करेगा और तुम्हारी माता का पुत्र क्षत्रिय होकर भी ब्राह्मण सा आचरण करेगा।"
इस पर सत्यवती ने भृगु ऋषि से बड़ी विनती की।

सत्यवती ने कहा,"मुझे आशीर्वाद दें कि मेरा पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करे।"तब महर्षि ने उसे ये आशीर्वाद दे दिया कि उसका पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करेगा किन्तु उसका पौत्र क्षत्रियों सा व्यवहार करेगा। सत्यवती का एक पुत्र हुआ जिसका नाम जम्दाग्नि था जो सप्त ऋषियों में से एक हैं।

SRI BANASHANKARI AMMAN, BANGALORE
#bharatmandir

Located in Southern Bangalore, this is one of the most popular places of worship in Bangalore City.
Devoted to Devi Banashankari, this shrine is visited specially during Rahukala which is believed to be an unfavorable time.

Somanna Shetty, a great devotee of Devi, brought this murti from Badami’s Banshankari Amma Kshetram.
It is said that many years ago, three ladies visited this shrine and requested the pujari to conduct puja for them. Since it was the inauspicious rahu kaal, the pujari refused.

However, upon their insistence, he conducted the puja. When he returned with prasadam, the ladies vanished. This made the people believe that they were none other than the Devi herself. Since then, the people perform poojas here during the Rahukaal.
@GunduHuDuGa

People use lemons as a diya. Lemons are cut from the centre and their pulps are removed, for pouring oil in them.
It is strongly believed that Devi removes all the troubles from the life of her devotees during the Rahukala although it is considered inauspicious for any pooja.

Rani Chennamma of Kittur was one of the first women rulers of India who fought against the might of the British Empire in 1824. Rani Chennamma was born in 1778 in a small village of Kakati in Belgaon distt of the State of Karnataka.

She was born into the Lingayat Community to a man named Dhulappa Desai. From a very young age she was trained in horse riding,sword fighting, archery and diplomacy. At a very young age of 15 yrs, she was married to the King of Kittur and became the Queen of Kittur.

It is said that King of Kittur Mallasarja was once moving around in the neighbouring kingdoms to find support to fight Tipu Sultan. It is then, when he came across Chennamma and he immediately got attracted to her sheer confidence and bravery.

Rani Chennamma and King Mallasarja had a son together who died very soon after the death of King Mallasarja in 1816. As the Queen of Kittur, Rani Chennamma immediately adopted Shivalingappa as her son and declared him the heir to the throne of Kittur.

This did not go well with the British East India Company who was enforcing the Doctrine of Lapse those days, according to which the adopted children of the Indian rulers were not allowed to become their heirs and if the native rulers did not have children of their own, their...

FIRST INDIAN COMPANY THAT STARTED TO DEVELOP & MANUFACTURE THE VACCINE PRODUCTS

A 🧵

Inspired by the Swadeshi revolution of the early 20th century, a young boy named Narendranath Dutta decided to dedicate his life for the national cause, but didn't know where to start.

1/14

Despite being born & brought up in a very poor family, he had great human values (He was the son of a Sanskrit teacher), and by the time he finished schooling, he had realized the importance of healthcare and its role in national development.

2/14

That's how he chose to pursue his higher education in medicine, and thanks to his hard work, he had managed to secure a medical seat with scholarship.

3/14

But the scholarship was only for the college fees, which forced him to explore additional income in the form of part-time jobs apart from his full time study.

4/14

Such was his humility that he actually agreed to work as a coolie at a nearby shipyard every night, and by sunrise, he would be back in the hostel to freshen up, and spend the whole day attending medical college.

SRI KANTESH HANUMANTHA, KADARAMANDALAGI (KAR)
#bharatmandir

KANTESHA means Prabhu full of brightness.
Here, Sri Hanuman appears with a front face and sparkling eyes. Earlier, the village was also called KANTESHPURI on the name of Kantesha Hanuman.

Several thousands of years ago, Hanuman lived in this village. He once saw the Sun and mistaking it to be a fruit, began flying towards it. Since then, this village came to be known as Kadara Man Dalagi. (Kadar means rays, mandala is cluster of rays).

It is believed that King Janmejaya had set up the shrine to get rid of his difficulties.
There is a small pond on the right side of the kshetram where Teppotsava (Float festival) is celebrated.

Kanaka Dasa has praised Sri Kantesha in his various poetic compositions.

Kanaka Dasa was the first devotee to popularize the power of Kantesha. It is said that once Kanaka Dasa was deeply wounded in a battle. To seek blessings, he visited Tirupati but Sri Venkatesha appeared in his dream and advised him to see Kantesha first before seeing him.

KRISHNA ELLA - THE MAN BEHIND COVAXIN

This whole article is written by Dev Kumar Sir.

On the border between Tamilnadu and erstwhile Andhra , lies the temple town of Thiruthani, one of the six famed abodes of Lord Muruga. Krishnamurthy Ella was born in 1969,

in an agricultural family to middle class parents. No one could have imagined his trajectory.

Perhaps because of his background, Krishna wanted to study agriculture. His father wasn’t pleased - he told his son “Nobody becomes a farmer by just studying agriculture” .

Unfazed, Krishna joined University of Agricultural sciences in Bangalore. His passion and hardwork earned him a gold medal. Unlike “ordinary” gold medalists, he wasn’t content to get a job.

Nevertheless he supported himself after undergrad by working briefly in the agricultural division of Bayer Pharma. He longed for more. He got a rotary scholarship which enabled him to move to the US, to do his PhD in University of Wisconsin.

The scholarship was the wind under his wings. There was no looking back.

His speciality was molecular biology.

While in the US, he met Suchitra, an economics graduate and married her.

Average Indians in US would dream of a green card for themselves.

Arulmigu Thiru Vaishnava Nambi Kovil
#Thirunelveli
#TamilNaduTemples 🚩

Vaishnava Nambi Temple is located in Thirukurungudi, Tamil Nadu, and one among the 108 Divya Deshams. Mahavishnu is worshipped as Vaishnava Nambi and Lakshmi Devi as Kurungudivalli Nachiyar.

Temple is also called Dakshina Vaikuntam
Sthala Puranam says that, there lived a Peasant Nambaduvan, who was great Vishnu Bhakta. He was a Harijan and couldn't enter the Temple
Dwajasthambam of the temple obstructed his Darshan, so Mahavishnu asked Dwajasthambam to move leftwards

One day while walking towards the temple, he was stopped by an asura who was hungry & wanted to eat Nambaduvan. Nambaduvan asked permission from asura to worship Mahavishnu and then, asura could eat him. Mahavishnu (Nambi )was pleased by his devotion and came outside the temple.

While returning, Mahavishnu appeared as a Brahmin and tried to convince him to go away from the asura. But, Nambaduvan wanted to keep his promise and went near rakshasa.  The asura was pleased that Nambaduvan returned to him and promised that he wouldn't kill him.
@LostTemple7

Nambaduvan sang glorious songs there of Mahavishnu and gifted those to asura. Suddenly Rakshasa roopam was changed to a Brahmin, whose name was Soma Sharma. Panguni Bramosthavam, and Karthigai Kaisiga Ekathasi is celebrated in a grand manner here.
