@catastrochic True love for ancestors is expressed only through these rituals once they are not with us. It’s fot everybody’s well being.

@vishwagra @CivitasSameer None of the translations are remotely correct.

@Nidhi NDTV in its older days used to lie straight through teeth. They have championed misinformation campaign, which was corrected using Facebook, during its early days.

@KumarPraya29344 @_nimitgupta_ @agrawalmanindra @kkumarkg They must have casually submitted their application and did not bother to document their work. It’s equally important.

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@_nimitgupta_ @agrawalmanindra @kkumarkg US universities will never consider late submitted applications. They have their rules too. IITK is the most US thing in India.

@ajeetbharti @RHAreforms Any kind of reservation is problematic. If you succeed, 40 years later we shall realize that even reservation based on finances is wrong when people have moved the economic ladder. You’re creating incentive for perpetual poverty like perpetual backwardness in its current form.

@VikasAlwys Resisting immediate pleasures is what makes families poor and rich at the first place. They are rich because they can resist immediate pleasures for a higher objective.

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

One thing common about such posts is that people are from non technical fields. Anthropology masters, basically a useless degree, except for being an ideologue

[Kritika Verma @Kriti_verma_]

Vande Bharat train carries 6000 passengers from Jammu to Srinagar daily vice versa. That's 1.5 lakh passangers in one month.

This fare money which would have gone to local drivers & hotels now goes to mighty Railways. Blow to local economy of J&K. ALL DEVELOPMENT IS NOT GOOD !!

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@nitinmeshram_ There is something called professional competence; it has nothing to do with representation. Here, representation is not warranted. 1 meritorious teacher can change the lives of 100 underrepresented students, while 100 incompetent teachers can ruin the lives of all.

A Saga of Dharma
long thread please read. you wont regret!

- Ashwin Sampatkumaran , Advocate
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.

Vedi - Rigvedi
Dwivedi - Yajurvedi
Trivedi Tripathi Tiwari - Samvedi
Chaturvedi- Atharvavedi

That’s what these surnames mean. Vedas have different parts.

[Kiran Kumar S @KiranKS]

If your name has Dwivedi, Trivedi, Chaturvedi etc., please learn some Vedas. Justify your family name and traditions.

I have no such surname. But I can chant a few hundred Vedic mantras.

I recently met a Trivedi who had no clue of Sanatana Dharma or Vedas. Sad 😔

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@iamkamyabuch Ram Mandir was a grand success but extremely incompetent people are chosen to govern it. Excellence and merit are hard for Indians society as jealousy is the dominant emotion than inspiration. A genuinely honest person faces so much harassment at every stage that I lost hope.

[Arun Krishnan 🇮🇳 @ArunKrishnan_]

Forget India in the eighties. This happened in Europe just a couple of months ago.

Daughter doing her Masters there. Final exams. Lax examiner. Many students (Indian and European) cheating with chatGPT.

This had happened earlier in a class test and my EO had found out about it. She was distraught because she had got low marks while others who cheated had aced it.

I told her that I would be proud if she failed honestly than if she succeeded dishonestly. That even failing was better since it would force her to learn the subject, while the others who passed unethically would have very poor knowledge of a key subject.

She agreed.

These are the moments in life when parents need to be there to enable kids to not take shortcuts.

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@sks_dev @the_yagyasaini @Bhaadmjaaye That was their survival strategy! How about you list monthly income , land holdings, generational wealth transfer of other communities as well? Infact, Brahmins in crisis, when they lost everything, pivoted and you want their next generation to be penalized when you kept enjoying

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@sks_dev @the_yagyasaini @Bhaadmjaaye Prior to this census, the government had occupied the temples and destroyed Gurukuls. A lot of Brahmins were also killed who protested against this. Few Brahmins adapted to this for livelihood. Rest of the communities did not need English. So defend until you won’t be able to.

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@sks_dev @Bhaadmjaaye This is just bogus. Literacy was an indicator of reading and writing and nothing else. Traditional knowledge was carried in skills and trades, which made people earn money and live decent life. In 1921 barely 15% had literacy, even in community whose job was to write.

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@sks_dev @Bhaadmjaaye It looks like this delusion has been fed in childhood more than anything. Every beneficiary of reservation is parroting this lie to hold on to reservation when obviously the system is failing. Entire country reeled under British and Mughals; famine affected all. Yet this lie.

[Harshit Mishra @HmishraHm]

@beachhasaliens @smarket Even state engineering colleges were very very good like HBTI. Private engineering college were worth. Now even IIT degree holders can get away with mediocre experience. Total collapse of high schools and municipal schools. Merit collapse is Indias peril.
