@swati_gs She does not seem to have asked for help. That could be also be a reason why no one intervened. Had if she cried for help someone would have stepped in.
@ReallySwara It is not a one time rape. You are missing the point to differentiate a one time violation with a continuous violation for the rest of the life. As the life after capturing is worse than death, they chose death.
@RanaAyyub The question should be, how would the life be without Islam. Muslims are humans. Without Islam they will be in some other religion. So the question is not how life will be without muslims. Question is how life will be without Islam. My view is life wud have been certainly better.
@RanaAyyub Intersting question. Manu invasions, cultural damage would have been avoided. Lot of terrorism would have been avoided. Are you really interested in introspecting?
@Telugu360 The unfortunate union minister could not find his son for 8 days. We should all show some sympathy ๐. Btw did he file a complaint to trace his missing son who is a fugitive? What example is he setting as a father and a union minister?
What Happens in the Body When Vata Gets Displaced ๐ฑ

Hereโs what actually happens... ๐งต
Thirupparankundram is the First of the Six Abodes of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya). The practice of lighting lamps atop the hill during the Tamil month of Karthigai is an ancient tradition of Hindus. It is sad and ironic that today the Hindus in Bharat have to seek judicial interventions to practice their faith and perform their rituals. If, even after winning a decisive legal battle, devotees cannot perform a simple, peaceful ritual on their own property, then where, in their own country, shall they truly find constitutional justice?
In short and simple, let all the Hindus in Bharat understand this - The bitter truth is - The Chennai High Court affirmed our right to light the Deepathoon - first by a single judge, then upheld by a higher bench. Legally, the battle was won. Yet, practically, we were forced to adjust.
Ask yourself - Can any religious festival be moved a week late? Can a holy day's celebration be shifted to a different time? No. Because the sanctity of religious time and the integrity of every religious calendar is non-negotiable.
Yet, for Sanatana Dharma, the momentโthe sacred Karthigai Deepamโwas stolen, vanished forever. Why? Because Hindus can be taken for granted. Sometimes it's the governments, sometimes itโs the executive, sometimes itโs the NGOs, sometimes itโs a random pseudo intellectual groups โ but every time, it is Hindus who accept the loss and adjust. We secured the right, but lost the ritual. This repeated, systemic denial is why a time has come to demand more than just court victories - We need the Sanatana Dharma Raksha Board where devotees actively manage their own temples and religious affairs.
Mockery of Hindu traditions and rituals has become a norm for certain groups. Do they dare to do the same for other religious events?
Does Article 25 become an optional right instead of a fundamental right to the Hindus? Can a Police Commissioner or a District Magistrate unilaterally nullify a specific High Court Directive? If the High Court confirmed the Deepam lighting was a "harmless religious act" on legally owned land, who decides that this practice constitutes a threat to "communal harmony," and by what legal mechanism? How come HR&CE Department consistently and repeatedly act against the interests of Hindu devotees and their temple's traditions, and how do these officials evade serious accountability?
Hindus should observe the collective spirit and solidarity shown by practitioners of Abrahamic religions (religions of Arabian origin) when religious issues arise. They overcome their ethnic, regional, and linguistic differences for the sake of their faith.
As long as Hindus remain divided by caste, regional, and linguistic barriers, the mockery, insults, and abuses against the Hindu religion and its practices shall continue. If Hindus in our nation don't unite under a common minimum program with the collective spirit of Hindu Dharma (or Aram in Tamil), this spirit will be lost.
I hope for a day when every Hindu from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Kamakhya to Dwarka wakes up to the humiliation Hindus face in their own land.

@IndianGems_ Apart from the issues like trash and indiscipline of people, there is no coordination in govt depts. One dept lays the road and the next day some other dept will dig the road. Many a time I doubted if it is only a coincidence or a scam to favor the contractors!
THE MONK WHO HACKED REALITY
At 32, most people are settling into a job. Maybe they've made it to Vice President. Maybe they've started a company. Made a few crores if they're lucky. Got married, bought a flat, working on those EMIs.
And then there was this guy from Kerala.
Adi Shankara had walked across an entire subcontinent on foot, defeated every scholar he encountered in debate, unified a splintering religion, founded four monasteries that still stand today, written the definitive commentaries on Hinduism's holiest texts, and cracked the code to exit the simulation of reality itself.
All by 32. Then he died.
1,200 years later, we're still trying to process what this man accomplished in three decades....
The world he was born into was falling apart intellectually. Buddhism was crushing every debate. Hindu philosophy had splintered into a thousand contradictory schools. The Vedic tradition was fragmenting like a Wikipedia page with 50 editors all contradicting each other.
Then this kid from Kerala shows up. Age 8. Already fluent in Sanskrit. Already realized that everything people thought was real... wasn't.
What he saw was this: the phenomenal world is Maya. Not fake, but rendered. Like VR. It feels real, but it's code on top of something deeper. Underneath the simulation is Brahman, pure, formless, infinite Consciousness. The quantum field. The cosmic server. Existence-awareness-bliss.
And here's the kicker: Your true self (Atman) IS Brahman.
You're not a player logged into the game. You're not even the avatar. You're the CPU running everything. Your body? A skin. Your mind? A user interface. Your ego? A temporary account. But the core you, the "I AM" before thoughts, that's the source code itself. "Tat Tvam Asi" = You Are That.
Long before Elon Musk and Nick Bostrom, Shankara was telling us we're in the Matrix. And he had the exit strategy.
So he walked. Over 3000 kilometers just from Kerala to the Himalayas, then crisscrossed India multiple times. Town to town. Temple to temple. University to university. Challenging the top scholars to debate with one rule: loser converts to winner's philosophy. Your entire life's work on the line.
He went undefeated.
The most famous? Mandana Mishra, a legendary scholar who had spent his entire life mastering Vedic rituals. They debated for days. His own wife was the judge. Shankara won. Mandana became his disciple.
What made these men abandon everything? Shankara showed them that liberation (moksha) isn't going to heaven. It's realizing you were never trapped. You just forgot the root password. Avidyฤ. We forgot we're admins. We think we're just users.
He taught the "Neti Neti" method, the great elimination: not the body, not the mind, not the thoughts, not the emotions. Strip away every layer until only pure witnessing awareness remains.
But here's where Shankara separated himself from every other enlightened master in history. He didn't just achieve moksha and disappear into the Himalayas. He didn't just gather a few disciples and call it done. This man built a franchise for enlightenment that's still operational 12 centuries later.
While walking tens of thousands of kilometers and winning debates, he somehow found time to write the most authoritative commentaries ever produced on the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahma Sutras. These weren't casual blog posts. These were surgical deconstructions of reality itself. Every scholar who came after him had to contend with Shankara's interpretations. He basically set the terms of the conversation for the next millennium.
Then he planted four monasteries at the four corners of India like spiritual anchors, assigned his best disciples to run them, and created the Dashanami Order to ensure the knowledge wouldn't die with him. It's still running. Same lineages. Same teachings. 1,200 years.
And because he apparently had time to spare, he wrote poetry that makes you weep and wake up simultaneously. Nirvana Shatakam strips your identity to nothing in six verses. Bhaja Govindam slaps you awake from your philosophical overthinking. Saundarya Lahari reveals that consciousness without energy is inert, that Shiva without Shakti can't even blink. Pure awareness needs the rendering engine. The CPU needs the GPU. He understood the architecture of existence and wrote hymns about it.
He spoke of parallel realities (lokas) centuries before multiverse theories. He described the universe as cyclically rebooting long before cosmologists proposed it. He taught that the observer and observed are entangled, that consciousness collapses reality into form, predating quantum mechanics by over a thousand years. He said OM is the primordial vibration, the command that boots up existence itself.
When Hinduism was tearing itself apart over whether Shiva or Vishnu or Shakti was supreme, Shankara said: they're all the same. He promoted Shanmata, six paths to the same truth, and ended centuries of sectarian violence with one elegant insight. He traveled everywhere, reactivated temples, reset rituals, and gave a fragmenting civilization its center back.
Today we're obsessed with simulation theory. We debate whether we're living in base reality. We wonder if consciousness creates the universe or the universe creates consciousness. We're trying to hack our way to happiness, productivity, enlightenment.
Shankara solved it 1,200 years ago while walking barefoot across an untamed subcontinent.
His answer? You're already what you're seeking. You just forgot. The game was always optional. The prison was always unlocked. You're not trapped in the simulation. You ARE the simulation experiencing itself.
Alexander conquered land and died at 32. His empire collapsed before his body was cold.
Shankara conquered minds and died at 32. His empire runs stronger today than it did in the 8th century.
One left behind crumbling monuments. The other left behind a manual for reality itself.
1,200 years later, we're still reading the instructions.
