As a child, I used to wonder why West Bengal is in the east? It was much later that I understood the real reason.

@GhorAngirasa Indeed perhaps at some point it may be useful to throw some light on the tattvic meanings of her dhyana and her ayudhas. Perhaps meaning of auspiciousness will also change.

As Jyeshtha ashtami draws nears and KPs wait to celebrate the yearly utsava of jyeshthā devī at zaethyar, I come back to this brilliant thread on tattvic meanings of Dhumāvatīdevīs names.

She whose smoky, obscuring power is reversed for the blessed who know Paramaśiva by His sacred name, “adhūma” (अधूम), occurring in that king of Mantras; to Her, a Siddhāntī offers His prostrations in line with the Siddhānta, which has the yogyata of being Paramaśiva’s Dhyānarūpa.

No country in the world has an elite as deracinated as ours, speaking from personal experience.

If you have a problem with the change of narrative in Raakh, the *most likely* culprits are the SoBO 25 year old sons and daughters of millionaires who form the pool from which VPs of content in OTT platforms are sourced from, the social justice crowd of Burberry and Gucci, whose intellectual founts are the Kunal Kamras of the world.

Have personally dealt with a few of them. So I know what I am talking about.

Always thought she had a Kashmiri passing face. Now seems to have married a Kashmiri.

Veteran actor Suhasini Mulay found love at the age of 60, proving that it’s never too late for companionship.

She married physicist Atul Gurtu after connecting with him through a Facebook message sparked by curiosity about his work on the Large Hadron Collider.

Their journey, built on shared conversations and mutual respect, challenges societal expectations around age and relationships.

Chinese use the Indian dance kalavanika as their representation for the world. Even here they have to depend on india for any culture to show.

Such a beautiful close up photo of the अधिष्ठात्री devī at khīr bhavāni.

Wish modern Kashmīrī temples install vigrahas with such features.

Blessed to accompany my father, Dr. Karan Singh Ji, to the sacred Kheer Bhawani Temple at Tulmulla, Ganderbal, to seek blessings of Mata Ragnya Devi.

We also reviewed the arrangements being undertaken by the J&K Dharmarth Trust for the forthcoming Kheer Bhawani Mela.

@DattaDamayanti A few days away.

[Damayanti Datta @DattaDamayanti]

On the first day of the month of #Ashadha (Ashadhasya prathama divase). That’s how the Sanskrit lyric #poetry, Meghaduta opens.
On this day, a celestial yaksha, cursed to lonely exile up on the Vindhya mountains, sees an enormous cloud and begs it to take his message to his beloved wife in far-off Mount Kailas. That eternal theme of love and longing transcends time to mark the first day of #monsoon, when historically the #rains start in India.
Of the famous first lines of world classics,  memorable for power, beauty or genius, that’s #India’s earliest contribution. It goes back to the 4–5 CE, the golden age of Gupta empire, when poet Kalidasa was celebrated for his masterpieces.
It's Kalidasa Diwas today, named in 1958, when Rajendra Prasad, India's first President and Sanskritist,  inaugurated the Kalidasa Samaroha in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.
In 1960, the postal department published a stamp, the yaksha pleading with the cloud, from a painting of Radha Charan Bagchi of Kala Bhavana, Santiniketan

I feel so at home in Bengaluru. I was able to visit a temple dedicated to our kuldevata.

[Lalitāditya @LalitAditya1212]

After someone pointed out, I wanted to add that Bengaluru has an amazing scene of temples.

The first thing I heard when I landed here was Sri Rudram from the Yajurveda on speakers from a temple near Banashankari.

Bengaluru has a very nice traditional side to it and should definitely be explored.

@LalitAditya1212 Which Kashmiri Muslims know persian? Moreover nothing wrong in learning Persian. I wish more trad Hindus learnt Persian and Arabic.

I don’t care about the rest. But Saayoni Ghosh, TMC MP, posted a meme showing a condom being put on a shivling. It shook me to my innermost being. I had filed a police complaint against her at Rabindra Sarobar PS, Kolkata - predictably with no results. Then she sung a song as part of TMC’s election campaign, which said she had the Kaaba in her eyes, Madina in her heart.

For Lord Shiva’s sake, do not have anything to do with her. @narendramodi @AmitShah @BJP4India

That is because the arivaal is an agricultural tool used as a weapon. It’s basically a billhook. An improvised peasant weapon. Here are some antique South Indian swords
