Have you ever wondered that communist leaders who gain mass following displaying grassroot work, anti-corruption stand and simple lifestyles after becoming successful flaunt their five star lives, fancy bungalows and flashy cars or clothes but they still don't lose the popular support.
Ideally, they should lose all after their lies are evident, but it doesn't happen. Why ?
If you can understand this, you will also understand Islam.
A Saga of Dharma
long thread please read. you wont regret!

For the past couple of years, every time I traveled with Satheeshan Namboothiripad, I couldn’t help but notice a fascinating routine—his unwavering commitment to waking up at 3 AM for japa. But one incident truly etched itself into my memory.
We had landed in Bangalore late one night—our flight touched down at 1 AM, and by the time we reached home, it was 2:30 AM. Exhausted, I was ready to sink into the comfort of a warm bed, the cool Bangalore weather only making sleep more tempting. But as I prepared to drift off, there he was—Satheeshan Namboothiripad—calmly stepping out for a bath. At 2:30 AM. In the biting cold.
I watched, amazed, as he completed his bath, settled into his spot, and began his japa with serene focus. There he sat, completely immersed, while the rest of the world was fast asleep. This continued until 5:30 or 6 AM, unwavering and undisturbed.
It wasn’t the first time I had seen his dedication to Dharma, but every such moment reinforces my belief in the strength of his resolve. It’s in these small yet extraordinary acts that his true character shines through.
And this, dear reader, is just the tip of the iceberg. Hold your breath as you read on—his journey of devotion is long but profoundly inspiring, and by the end of it, you might just find yourself covered in goosebumps!
The years 2020–2021 were a testing time for humanity. The pandemic weighed heavily on all of us, changing our routines, and filling our days with uncertainty. But amidst the chaos, Satheeshan Namboothiripad of Nedumapally Tharananaloor Illom chose to embark on an extraordinary mission—a commitment to chant the Gayatri mantra 1,008 times every single day.
It wasn’t just about the japa; it was about showing that even in the darkest of times, Dharma lights the way forward. And so, while the world grappled with lockdowns and restrictions, he quietly began his spiritual endeavor, creating a ripple of positivity and resolve that would inspire many.
As the world slowly opened up and travel restrictions were lifted, he seized the opportunity to do something even more profound. One day, at his ancestral home, he organized a Gayatri Homam, assisted by his loyal parikarmis who had been with him through countless rituals.
During this sacred occasion, he shared a thought that had been stirring in his mind—a desire to adopt a mantra for upasana (spiritual practice). After deliberation, the choice became clear. The mantra would be:
"Vedo Akhilo Dharma Moolam"
(The entire Vedas are the root of Dharma)
Gayatri, being the foremost mantra for a Brahmin, naturally complemented this choice. With this decision, a spiritual journey began—one that would demand not only time but also relentless determination and unwavering faith.
Purashcharana: A Herculean Effort in Three Phases
In Vedic tradition, for a mantra to bear fruit, it must be fortified through Purashcharana, a series of disciplined practices. Following the guidelines of the Rigvidhana, Satheeshan Namboothiripad undertook this rigorous endeavor in three monumental stages:
Phase 1:
• Gayatri Japa: 30,000
• Gayatri Homa: 3,000
• Time Taken: 15 Days
This was only the beginning. His focus sharpened as he entered the next phase.
Phase 2:
• Gayatri Japa: 1,00,000
• Gayatri Homa: 10,000
• Time Taken: 2 Months
The numbers were growing, and so were the stakes. Yet, his resolve remained unshaken as he moved into the final phase—a feat that could humble even the most disciplined.
Phase 3:
• Gayatri Japa: 24,00,000
• Gayatri Homa: 2,40,000
• Gayatri Tarpana: 24,000
• Gayatri Abhisekam: 2,400
• Gayatri Namaskaram: 240
• Brahmana Bhojanam: 24
The sheer scale of this phase is staggering. It demanded countless hours of chanting, meticulous rituals, and a deep reservoir of physical and mental strength. And today, he has completed Phase 3, a momentous milestone in his spiritual journey.
Satheeshan Namboothiripad’s commitment doesn’t end with personal practice. His vision for Dharma is far-reaching, and he has worked tirelessly to bring others along this path of light.
1. Hari Valam:
At the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, he initiated this practice where devotees chant the Hare Rama Hare Krishna while circumambulating the temple’s outer fort on every Ekadasi.
2. Mass Vishnu Sahasranama Japa:
He organized a historic event where 5,000 devotees came together to chant the Vishnu Sahasranama six times in a single day. The energy of thousands chanting in unison was nothing short of divine.
Satheeshan Namboothiripad’s life is guided by a single desire:
Dharma should thrive. Our culture should flourish. Temples should prosper. And in this, mankind will find its ultimate prosperity.
Extremist militants have reportedly demolished the Kali Temple in Hazarigoli, Chittagong. Donations and jewelry from the temple were allegedly looted during the attack. Despite the presence of the Army at the site, no significant action was taken to prevent or address the incident.
My mind is filled with countless interactions with Shri Ratan Tata Ji. I would meet him frequently in Gujarat when I was the CM. We would exchange views on diverse issues. I found his perspectives very enriching. These interactions continued when I came to Delhi. Extremely pained by his passing away. My thoughts are with his family, friends and admirers in this sad hour. Om Shanti.
Whether Vivek or Modi, India, US or UK if they are competing in a votebank democracy, max we can expect from them is to emphatically claim and display being a Hindu. Rest of the responsibility is of wider Samaj.
@voiceformenind no worry,i called off my wedding last December,nothing happened,sab khali dhamkindete h jab tak shaadi na ho aur aapne khud kuch galat nhi kia ho apko koi kuch nhi krega
@ShoneeKapoor But fighting back pays off if done correctly. This is one case from Rajkot, Gujarat. Wife was handed 6 years of punishment. Crpc 193,199 used. Trying to get order copy. It's in Gujarati.
Have you been #falsely accused of committing #rape?
Don’t take it lightly as rape #allegations are serious. Even if the rape charges are false, their consequences are long-lasting.
This can take a disastrous turn in your life.
