@PuneDistrict Only restaurants whose kitchen is visible and behind the counter can be trusted.
Eg - Joshi Wadewale in Maan Road, Hinjawadi - they cook in front of you and give it to you. Spillovers are immediately cleaned.

Not a promotion, but I stayed there for 4 years and it’s good &clean

@Lungiphataka @PuneDistrict I went there multiple times - like 50-60 times in last 10 years and for me it served the best South Indian I have had in Pune ..
I have stood in queue when I was new. Now I don’t - you shud go there during on-college hours. Most of the crowding is when college students are free.

@PuneDistrict Yaar.. 🤮 Sometime we need a break from home cooking at least once a week .. How to manage this office work during ever-layoff threat and cook multiple meals a day.

#WATCH | Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh | On Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's proposed visit to Ayodhya, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust member Raj Kumar Das says, "The decision reached by the seers has been heard by everyone, and the entire nation is witnessing it... Has the *Sanatan* tradition in India become so weak that when we perform our rituals, such as Durga Puja or the Shiv Kanwar Yatra, we are met with gunfire and stone-pelting? Is this not a sinister plot to force conversions away from the Sanatan faith?.. Until he apologises for those misdeeds, the Sanatan community across the globe will never forgive him... Given the many massacres he is responsible for, if he seeks liberation, he must first go to Gaya, perform the Shraddha, and then return to seek forgiveness. He may bathe in the Saryu, come forward, and seek darshan; no one will stop him. We are not opposed to his visit, nor are we against Akhilesh himself..." (11.11)

@yoursnandieni @Priyato61660178 The Vedas describe Brahman as the eternal, infinite Supreme Reality. The Puranas identify Vishnu, Shiva or Adi Shakti as supreme through different traditions. The essence of Sanatan Dharma: Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti – Truth is One; the wise call it by many names. 🙏

@varungrover People who have read Valmiki Ramayan will know how many incorrect scripts are narrated by Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan.

@DohareCa and they say it’s EVM fault when they loose elections

[Atul Kumar Mishra @TheAtulMishra]

So Chhath is Śramaṇic because Brahmin priests don’t officiate? By that logic, every Hindu woman performing a vrata at home without a Purohit has apparently abandoned the Vedic tradition.

Surya has entire Suktas dedicated to him in the Rigveda. There is also the fascinating history of the Śākadvīpīya or Maga Brahmins, a community of Sun-worshipping priests traditionally associated with the modern day Iran Pārasīka/Shakdwipa, whose arrival in India is described in the Sāmba and Bhaviṣya Purāṇas.

Their connection with Magadha is not some recent invention either. A 12th-century inscription discovered in Gaya district explicitly mentions the Maga Brahmins and their association with Sāmba. There is even a traditional account of Śākadvīpīya Brahmins teaching Surya worship and the Chhath Vrata to King Dhṛṣṭaketu of Magadha.

Hence dismissing its entire Vedic and Brahmanical inheritance because the devotee performs the Arghya without priestly assistance is spectacularly poor reasoning.

You want to establish a specifically Śramaṇic origin? Produce the textual and historical evidence. I would be delighted to read it.

Until then, please understand that the Vedas do not cease to exist merely because a Pandit is absent from the Ghat.

Oh and I am a Shakadwipi Brahmin :)

@TheAtulMishra Thanks for the details. It gives me a few more topics to research and learn.. 🙏🏻

[Puneri Dhuska @puneridhuska]

@rjtalk4u Do you know, when I was a kid, some 30 yrs ago .. even a few Muslims in Bihar celebrated Chhath - who aspired for a child/ good health of children. Politicians have ruined the dynamics of the country.

[Puneri Dhuska @puneridhuska]

@vladimir_yogi Agreed. Just because someone puts “Sanatani” or “Hindu” in their handle doesn’t mean they stand for Sanatan values. Many clearly show contempt for Bharat and Bharatiyas and can go to any extent to push their divisive agenda. Judge them by their actions, not their bio.
