In case you missed it, I built and open-sourced a system that can chant any Sanskrit poem/prose and give feedback after users repeat. This will be useful for those who want to practice the language. Check it out here - https://t.co/FTE0Xumz9y

You're about to make a money move you'll probably regret in three weeks.

The deal that feels urgent. The offer you want to sign now. The launch you've been itching to push live.

Something in you keeps saying "just go" — and something quieter keeps saying "check it again."

Listen to the quiet one. There's a reason it showed up right now.
Repost!!!!

A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.

And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.

🌼 ॥ श्री गुरुदेव दत्त ॥ 🌼

With the infinite grace of Lord Dattatreya and the blessings of Yogi Avadhuta Yerravaram Baba Garu, we humbly invite all devotees to participate in an Akhanda Annasamaradhana on the sacred occasion of Guru Pournima.

📍 Venue: Yogi Avadhuta Yerravaram Baba, Auto Stand, Tuni, Andhra Pradesh

📅 Date: 29th July (Guru Pournima)

🍛 Expected Devotees Served: Approximately 5,000 people
By the Guru's grace, the estimated cost for this seva is ₹2,20,000. My friend and I have already offered ₹25,000 each towards this sacred cause. We are now seeking support to raise the remaining ₹1,70,000 before 25th July.

The scriptures repeatedly declare that among all forms of charity, Annadanam (offering food) stands supreme, for it directly sustains life itself.

अन्नदानं परं दानं विद्यादानमतः परम् ।
अन्नेन क्षणिका तृप्तिः यावज्जीवं च विद्यया ॥

"Food donation is the highest charity; education is even higher. Food satisfies hunger for a time, but knowledge nourishes for a lifetime."

Yet, when Annadanam is offered at the feet of a Avadhuta, it becomes more than charity - it becomes Guru Seva, a powerful offering that purifies generations.

दत्तात्रेयसमारम्भां
नाथसंप्रदायमध्यमाम् ।
अस्मदाचार्यपर्यन्तां
वन्दे गुरुपरम्पराम् ॥

"I bow to the unbroken Guru lineage beginning with Lord Dattatreya and flowing through the realized masters unto our own Guru."

The Datta tradition reveres feeding beings as worship of the Lord Himself.

अन्नं ब्रह्मेति व्यजानात् ।

"Know food itself to be Brahman." — Upanishadic teaching

And the Datta devotees often remember:

यत्र अन्नं तत्र दत्तः ।
यत्र दत्तः तत्र कृपा ॥

"Where food is lovingly offered, there Lord Datta resides; where Datta resides, His grace naturally flows."

✨ Today is especially auspicious as Pushya Nakshatra and Ravi Pushya Yoga prevail from 5:51 AM to 11:32 AM. Those wishing to contribute may utilize this sacred period.
However, Annadanam itself transcends the need for muhurta, for feeding the hungry is auspicious at all times.

As the saints say:

"The hungry stomach knows no caste, religion, status, or philosophy. Feeding it is worship of the Divine."

No contribution is small. Whether you participate financially, volunteer your time, or simply share this appeal with friends and family, every act becomes an offering at the holy feet of Guru Dattatreya and Yerravaram Baba Garu.

May Guru Datta bless all who participate with health, prosperity, spiritual growth, and Guru Kripa.
🙏 Any form of participation is deeply appreciated.

@mmpandit pranaam @mmpandit ji, can you suggest some serious sadhana for my careers as I am in cross roads now .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[PVR Narasimha Rao @homam108]

Namaste friends, please retweet this unusual request to maximize reach.

Sri @annamalai_k ji is at important crossroads & the next year is a BIG ONE for him. IF you care for him, BJP & TN, please do the prayers I am suggesting below, at the times mentioned below, with the sankalpa mentioned below.

(1) Solar New Year

TIME: 2026 June 4, 4:45-5:15 pm IST (please convert to local time if you live outside of India)
PRAYER: Chant Durga Saptashloki once, chant the pair (Lakshmi Ashtottara Shata Nama Stotra, followed by Vishnu Sahasra Nama Stotra) as many times as you can (each time repeat the pair), Lakshmi Ashtottara Shata Nama Stotra one last time and then Durga Saptashloki once at the end.
SANKALPA: Say this before the chanting:
शिव गोत्रोद्भवस्य आश्रेषानक्षत्रे कर्कराशौ कन्यालग्ने जातस्य कुप्पुसामि अन्नामलै नामधेयस्य शीघ्रमेव तमिळराज्याधीशत्व सिद्ध्यर्थं दुर्गालक्ष्मीविष्णुध्यानकर्म यथाशक्ति करिष्ये।
ஶிவ கொத்ரொத்பவஸ்ய ஆஶ்ரெஷானக்ஷத்ரெ கர்கராஶௌ கன்யாலக்னெ ஜாதஸ்ய குப்புஸாமி அன்னாமலை னாமதெயஸ்ய ஶீக்ரமெவ தமிளராஜ்யாதீஶத்வ ஸித்த்யர்தம் துர்காலக்ஷ்மீவிஷ்ணுத்யானகர்ம யதாஶக்தி கரிஷ்யெ|
śiva gotrodbhavasya āśreṣānakṣatre karkarāśau kanyālagne jātasya kuppusāmi annāmalai nāmadheyasya śīghrameva tamiḻarājyādhīśatva siddhyarthaṁ durgālakṣmīviṣṇudhyānakarma yathāśakti kariṣye|

(2) Soli-lunar New Year

TIME: 2026 June 19, 2:15-2:45 pm IST (please convert to local time if you live outside of India)
PRAYER: Chant Durga Saptashloki as many times as you can.
SANKALPA: Say this before the chanting:
शिव गोत्रोद्भवस्य आश्रेषानक्षत्रे कर्कराशौ कन्यालग्ने जातस्य कुप्पुसामि अन्नामलै नामधेयस्य शीघ्रमेव तमिळराज्याधीशत्व सिद्ध्यर्थं दुर्गाध्यानकर्म यथाशक्ति करिष्ये।
ஶிவ கொத்ரொத்பவஸ்ய ஆஶ்ரெஷானக்ஷத்ரெ கர்கராஶௌ கன்யாலக்னெ ஜாதஸ்ய குப்புஸாமி அன்னாமலை னாமதெயஸ்ய ஶீக்ரமெவ தமிளராஜ்யாதீஶத்வ ஸித்த்யர்தம் துர்காத்யானகர்ம யதாஶக்தி கரிஷ்யெ|
śiva gotrodbhavasya āśreṣānakṣatre karkarāśau kanyālagne jātasya kuppusāmi annāmalai nāmadheyasya śīghrameva tamiḻarājyādhīśatva siddhyarthaṁ durgādhyānakarma yathāśakti kariṣye|

The reason I am suggesting this is that his Tajak Varshaphal chart for 2026-27 has 5th lord Rahu in 5th and lagna lord Venus and 9th lord Mercury in 9th. That chart takes effect at the time above. His Tithi Pravesh chart for 2026-27 also has 5th lord Rahu in 5th.

PS: I never made such suggestions/requests in the past for anyone else. But I am 100% confident that Annamalai ji is a sincere, selfless, dharmik & highly competent leader with deep love for TN & India. I am also confident that praying for his success is highly dharmik and WILL benefit TN and India, IRRESPECTIVE of whether he leads a new party that aligns with BJP later or remains with BJP after some drama and a fortified image pleasing people of TN.

PPS: You can start earlier than the time I mentioned and end later than the time I mentioned, but the actual time the new solar/lunar year starts for him is in the middle of the window I gave.

Shani Deva & A Bus Journey That Changed My Life

I studied in my native town (Machilipatnam, AP, India) till 10th standard, in Telugu medium. Plan was always to go to a local junior college. Someone told me about a government residential junior college in Nagarjuna Sagar that usually got 6-10 out of of top-10 state ranks in Intermediate (12th standard) exams! I found out about its entrance exam at the nick of the moment and appeared at a local high school. Fortunately, I got a high enough rank to pick MPC English medium (Math-Physics-Chemistry, i.e. get into engineering stream later).

In June 1985, my father took me to Nagarjuna Sagar for admission. That was my first time staying away from home for an extended period! Guru was transiting the 12th from my natal Moon and would be in 12th & 1st for the next year and half or so (bad transits!). Shani had entered my 10th house a few months back and would be there for 2.5 years (terrible transit)! Karma Shani is not considered a good transit for academic success and the start of good professional education. Moreover, I was in Shani mahadasha then!

Based on various astrological factors, my father was confident that I would have great academic success 2 years later, but that it needed some propitiation.

The bus journey was 6 hours long (with a change of bus or two). During that journey, my father talked to me in detail about my horoscope, the opportunity and the challenges ahead of me (I already had working knowledge of Jyotish). In a spur, he was inspired to teach me Shani Ashtottara Shata Nama Stotram (Shani's 108-name prayer)!

Fortunately, I have excellent memory and usually remember anything I hear or read just once. After we repeated it a few times, it was fully memorized. I chanted it a few times by myself in the bus and my father was pleased. He strongly advised me to chant it EVERYDAY without fail.

And I did!

I started off there struggling. As I studied in Telugu medium till then, I didn't know English equivalents of many math & science technical words. And, I wasn't fluent in English. It was a real struggle for 3 months or so. Then I got used. Half the way into the first year, I was in the middle of the pack in my class there. But, by the end of the year, I rose to the top.

And, I finished my 2 years there by standing state first with a record score (at that time) in my state in 12th standard exams. In fact, that junior college got 7 out of top-10 state ranks! I also got into IIT-Madras (where I again started off at the middle of the pack in first semester, but finished as second in class after 4 years). In fact, however smart I was, I wouln't have made it to IIT without correspondence coaching. I wouldn't have learnt about it in my native town, but, at that residential college, everybody had IIT aspirations and got either Brilliant YG or Agrawal coaching. I definitely benefited from that correspondence coaching. It gave a direction to my innate intelliegence, which WAS important.

Standing state first & getting into IIT-Madras was foundational to my life later on - after all, I come from lower middle class. Now, when I look back at my chart, dasas and transits, I can explain why it happened. But it was not at all guaranteed. It could certainly have panned way differently, given Karma Shani transit of dasa lord Shani.

I essentially ended up getting the absolute best of the spectrum of possibilities and I believe it was due to sincerely & faithfully chanting Shani Ashtottara Shata Nama Stotram everyday during those 2 years!

Friends, don't overthink. If your elders or gurus advise you to chant a prayer, do it sincerely and faithfully. Its impact may not be visible immediately, but it WILL help you when you really need it! It will help you get the best result out of the spectrum of possibilities based on your karmik mometum!!

Secondly, some people discourage others from doing sadhana (e.g. you can't chant Lalita Sahasra Nama Stotram by yourself, you can't do Homa by yourself, Hanuman Chalisa is a fake prayer, you can't chant Durga Saptashati without initiation, you can't chant Ashtottara Shata Nama stotras of grahas - especially malefic grahas - by yourself, you can't chant a prayer without following many rules, etc). Please do some sadhana, perfectly or imperfectly, and, more importantly, don't discourage others. 🙏🕉️🙏

[Newnorm @kottapunta]

@lunarastro108 But, it was opposite in my case, I got my first job in ketu mahadasha and the entire dasa is like roaming around India (including many temples which I never visited). Also, started learning astrology in that period
