Pranaam.
So, this is a good question.
To put in perspective, I understand you and just saying here why I understand you.
My parents died, my very close relative lost most of her life in illness. I struggled and struggled and struggled. Then … after doing very well in that struggle,
I lost a lot of money doing good things for India in my life. So much money I lost that one can’t even imagine and I lost so much quality of life that it rendered me not being able to afford small things.
But I remained unaffected due to homa practice and meditation at end of homa and regular anusthanas.
But then a group of people gave me terrible dhoka. Then I too felt like you for a short time.
Until that is, I went to Manikarnika Smashaan, and realised that I was being foolish for thinking the way that I was.
I threw away the horoscope, spent my time on homa and crazy anusthana.
And one day, I forgot.
It was by grace of Mahadev that I forgot completely everything which disabled me.
So, after all these things, whatever the challenges bhai, please keep your head held high and I pray that you smile and that Mahadev makes you forget your pain.
Challenges are our Prarabdha BUT our response to them is what life is. All rituals are useful.
I may or may not be able to convince you, but they are very useful.
Unfortunately I cannot transfer my inner experiences to everyone.
By QTing this, I hope some people will hopefully contribute to you as well (if that is useful).
Excellent!
That’s good to know!
Of course, my group and me simply had the good fortune of contributing to renovate this wonderful Shakti Peeth!
Some graciousness of Divine Mother no doubt, Varna so many people have 100’s of crores but this thought never crosses their mind.
Ma ka iccha!🙏🏽🙏🏽
Today, I had the good fortune of offering prayers at Maa Jayanti Mandir in Meghalaya.
One of the 51 sacred Shakti Peeths, nestled amidst the Jaintia Hills, this temple stands as a powerful reminder of the deep and enduring roots of Sanatan Dharma in the North East.
It is believed that the Jaintias were among the earliest sadhaks of Maa Kamakhya.
The enduring civilizational bond between these two revered Shakti Peeths reflects a shared spiritual legacy that continues to connect Assam and Meghalaya.
@mmpandit Pranam
Today, the HCM, Shri @himantabiswa Ji, visited the temple whose renovation you so graciously supported along with many other devotees.
I recall your post about this project from a few months ago and wanted to share this happy update.
Pranams. 🙏
To succeed at anything (especially sadhana), you need to be single minded.
If your mind is wondering what is happening in the Ayodhya case, what is happening in the Dombivali case and what not, then you are not going to succeed at something anytime soon.
Some sadhanas build single minded focus.
For example in the Saptashati Durga, the reading of the text will involve around 50 minutes. If you did a homa with it, your mind is occupied for best part of two hours.
This develops intense concentrated focus which is helpful in a variety of things apart from sadhana.
So.. develop single minded focus for success.
Forget about the entire world when doing sadhana.

The white flowers offered to Mahadev were thoughtfully chosen for their profound spiritual significance.
ॐ नमो भगवते सदाशिवाय, जय जय महारुद्र, महारौद्र, महाभैरव, कालभैरव, त्र्यम्बक सदाशिव नमस्ते, नमस्ते नमस्ते नमः ।
🙏🏽 See, to learn fire management takes time. One small point to make.
A small piece of dried khopra should always be put in the Agni every day 5-10 minutes to avoid the fire completely going out.
Not to worry.
Visible Fire goes out even in professional managed homas in temples.
Keep some camphor and put that in and it should light again.
Your fear is the only wrong thing here, rest is ok.

Any language can be a bit deceptive, but no other language can be at least 10% of English ( I don't know any languages - outside of India)
@INDIAOBSERVER@Doctorahead Burckle crater is fitting with 3067BCE and not with a 5K BCE date!
All of Oak’s climatology is basically not of any use.
MBH has not occured in 5K BCE, Kaliyuga markers were found recently and GOI accepted those.
Three points - one light-hearted, one thoughtful & one provocative:
(1) If one stops going to a restaurant serving only upma & starts going to a restaurant serving 100 items, it doesn't mean one "has to" eat 100 items! 😃
One simply has more choice!
(2) A Hindu need NOT worship many (or even any!) Devatas.
The force that runs the universe is too subtle - way beyond human perception or even conceptualization/ideation.
But some subtle forces that enable one to connect more purposefully with that Supreme Cosmic Force, ARE accessible to human perception/interaction, i.e. various Devatas! By forming a connection with various Devatas, one leads a more purposeful life (of various types).
BTW, in Hinduism/Sanatana Dharma as taught by rishis, one may not even worship any Devata and yet imbibe the qualities represented by a Devata within oneself through effort & blessings & get closer to that Devata (and hence to the Supreme Cosmic Force via that Devata).
Mind you, Sanatana Dharma is not your average faith based religion founded by someone in deep Kali yuga - it is a collection of subtle, broad & deep knowledge resulting from the seeking of the Supreme Cosmic Force by many great sages over millennia & independently re-validated by umpteen great yogis time and again, right till our times!
(3) It's amazing that some people feel totally free to call Hindu Devatas "fuckers and suckers". 😡😟
If one retorts about the other religion using the same words, all hell will break loose! Remember what happened to poor @NupurSharmaBJP ji? She didn't even retort - she just quoted their own scripture..
This one-sided & hegemonic ridicule & oppression of Hinduism by people of a couple of other religions that persecuted Hindus in their own heartland for about a millennium (and hence feel entitled/overconfident!), MUST end. And it WILL end soon. 🙏🕉️🙏
Bechare log.
But I am really thankful to Oak and his followers that they keep responding with more examples of their complete ignorance!
😂😂🤣🤣 Varna I would not have become so well known as the person who demolished Oak. People still come up to me and thank me personally in conferences for having shown the truth. And that’s my USP anyway when I was making films.
This is a first class example of how social media promotes certain people and their theories and how long after those are comprehensively disproven, the clueless followers still support them.
Bechara follower has still not understood that the entire scientific world has come to know that Oak’s theories were blunderous.
I mean … it’s not such a big thing, it happens everyday in scientific fields that some theory is junked… but scientists go back to the drawing board.
In Oak’s case, all it is … that he refuses to accept his blunders. That’s about it and becharey followers of his are so clueless that they are thinking that his work is good!
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Small lists of his blunders.
But do watch the short film also for another example.
Everyone who supported him has egg on their faces!

#NAVAGOPYA - The Nine Secrets Explained...
आयुर्वित्तं गृहच्छिद्रं मन्त्रमैथनभेषजम् ।
दानमानापमानाश्च नवैतानि सुगोपयेत् ॥
ಆಯುರ್ವಿತ್ತಂ ಗೃಹಚ್ಛಿದ್ರಂ ಮನ್ತ್ರಮೈಥನಭೇಷಜಮ್ |

Āyurvittaṃ gṛhacchidraṃ mantramaithunabheṣajam |
Dānamānāpamānāśca navaitāni sugopayet ||
This #Subhashita details the nine things a wise person must always keep secret to protect their personal peace, reputation, and success.
Here is the exact breakdown of the nine secrets (Nava Gopya):
The Nine Secrets Explained
· Aayu (Age): Keep your exact age private to avoid being judged or limited by stereotypes.
· Vitta (Wealth): Concealing your financial status prevents envy from others and protects you from exploitation.
· Gruha Chidra (Domestic Flaws): Family disputes or household secrets must never be discussed outside the home.
· Mantra (Personal Chant): Your spiritual practices, goals, or core personal strategies should remain private.
· Aushadha (Meditation/Medicine): Keeping medical treatments private prevents unwanted advice and keeps vulnerabilities hidden.
· Samgama (Intimacy): Private relationship moments or personal bonds are meant only for the individuals involved.
· Daana (Charity): True charity is done silently. Bragging about donations destroys the spiritual merit of giving.
· Maana (Honor): Publicly boasting about your achievements or praise breeds jealousy and arrogance.
· Avamaana (Humiliation): Disclosing your failures or insults invites others to disrespect you further.
The core message of this subhashita is that radical boundary-setting and strict privacy are essential for self-preservation, emotional peace, and social stability.
It warns that sharing too much information makes you vulnerable to exploitation, jealousy, and manipulation.
Core Themes of the Message...
Preventing Exploitation: Keeping your age (Aayu) and wealth (Vitta) private stops people from stereotyping your capabilities or targeting you for financial gain.
Protecting Relationships: Concealing family flaws (Gruha Chidra) and intimacy (Samgama) prevents outsiders from interfering in, judging, or breaking your closest bonds.
Preserving Strategic Advantage: Keeping your goals/strategies (Mantra) and vulnerabilities/treatments (Aushadha) confidential stops competitors from sabotaging your plans or exploiting your weaknesses.
Eradicating Ego: Hiding your charity (Dana) and achievements (Mana) keeps you humble. Bragging invites toxic envy (Asuya) from your social circle.
Maintaining Dignity: Keeping insults and failures (Avamana) to yourself denies others the power to weaponise your low moments against you.
The Modern Takeaway
In today's world of oversharing on social media, this ancient verse serves as a timeless reminder: not everyone in your circle needs to know everything about your life. True strength lies in knowing exactly what to show the world and what to keep sacred.
The Bottom Line:
Privacy is the new luxury: True power is moving in silence.
Protecting the sacred: Not everything needs a digital stage to be real.
Guarding your peace: Less audience always equals more inner peace.
A reminder to choose what stays yours in a world driven by oversharing and digital applause.

Panditji’s work on the dating of the Mahābhārata War is lucid, clear *and* scientific. Anyone with virtually no knowledge of this area can learn, and anyone with prior knowledge can reason with and verify for themselves everything in the book. 🙏

@INDIAOBSERVER It cannot be wrong.
But this is one premise only:
I divide the theory into component parts: Slow moving planets, Moonphase, Balarama’s Nakshatras, 4 timelines, Bhishma moksha, etc etc.
Every single thing is dissected dry.
Nobody else has done this kind of work.
Two verses give you the Moon phase of the 14th war night of the Mahabharata:
Derived from first principles:
Verse 1-2 of 161 Drona Parva clearly says that 3/15 th of the night was remaining when fighting started again post the Moonrise.
So that means that around 4/15 of the night remaining at Moonrise, hence it’s a Krishna Ekadashi.
(Waning phase Moon rises in the night, waxing phase in the day and the day and night are divided into 15 parts).
There are other pointers in the text which are showing that this can only be a waning phase Moon.
But the two verses - first is telling you that the Moon which was seen for the first time in the sky was in the East (we know that Moon rises in the East) … and second verse (Tribhaga… matra sheshayam) is telling you that around 4/15 of the night remains when fighting resumes… hence it can only be a rising Moon in eastern sky of Krishna Ekadashi. Nothing else.
14th war night therefore can never be a full Moon.
So war cannot start on an amavasya.
