When No Journalist dared to go to Kashmir, Sh Manoj Raghuvanshi ji covered truth of Kashmir in Peak Terror.
THE PAIN THE TERROR is unimaginable.
Beauty is subjective.. some find beauty in your appearance, some in your face, some in your clothes, some in your tone, some in your intelligence and only few find beauty in You as a person...your existence is itself a beauty for them, and that is so pure.
Govt has made sale of E20 petrol mandatory from Apr 1. Here's a quick reminder about relevant things:
1. It was originally mandated to be rolled out by 2030, and it was logical because by then most of the existing vehicles would have been replaced by E20-compliant vehicles. But the govt rolled it out five years earlier, thinking of it as some achievement, like eradication of polio, that you do it sooner, the better.
2. Most of the vehicles in India currently are E20 non-compliant. Running them with E20 surely damages the parts. If non-E20-compliant vehicles can be run on E20 fuel, what's the point of E20-compliant vehicles then? The damage, however, is mostly slow and will show impact in the coming years.
3. But why does data from other countries show no damage to cars running on E20? Because they first replaced the existing vehicles with compliant vehicles and then introduced E20. And even then, they kept the option of E0, E5, and E10 available for a minuscule population who didn't have E20-compliant cars. India is the only country that introduced E20 without first phasing out non-compliant cars. It’s like rolling out 6G without introducing 6G handsets in the market, while simultaneously withdrawing 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G.
4. But my car is E20-compliant. Why should I worry? Lol! Because it doesn't end with E20. The goal is to move to E27, E30, and further ahead over time. So your today-purchased E20 car, in all likelihood, won't have compliant fuel in the coming years.
5. But it's good for the country. Yes, it is, but it was still good for the country if it was rolled out properly. As per the original plan, by 2030. They are rolling it out without phasing out the non-compliant vehicles, who are in the majority. So eventually people will pay the price of this haphazard policy decision.
6. I'm not a deep state agent.
Let me simplify this as much as possible.
Whenever we experience anything,
It is experienced in form of one of the 5 Vrittis.
1. Correct information
2. Wrong information
3. Meaningless information
4. Knowledge of absence (sleep)
5. Memories
Now each of these may get attached to Avidya, if that Happens, we get Karmāshaya.
For example -
Someone saw a lot of money kept somewhere unprotected. This knowledge gets attached with Greed (Rāga) and he thought about stealing the money.
Even thinking about stealing the money leaves a mental impression (Samskara).
This Samskara of theft gets stronger every time the person thinks about stealing, which will eventually cause him to steal one day.
When he actually steals, the Samskaras generated as even stronger because physical actions leave deeper impression than mental ones.
These Samskaras which are full of Avidya are the reason for our Karmashaya, we get consequences of our Karmas for only these.
If any action is done without Avidya, there is no Karma-Phala attached to it.
Way to liberation is to purify our minds by removing these bad Samskaras which lead to Karmashaya.
When removed through correct point of view / correct knowledge, of Samskaras are removed before Phala of the Karma is attained, then bad Karma is removed.
I hope it's easy to understand.
Learn Sanskrit 7 - 7th Vibhakti
Consider this - धर्मक्षेत्रे, कुरुक्षेत्रे, महावने
Quite often you find such words ending in ए sound. When you see such a word, mostly it means that the action is happening on the entity represented by the word.
For example- अर्जुनः कुरुक्षेत्रे कर्णं जघान
It means Arjuna killed Karna in Kurukshetra, you can see Karna is in Dwitiya Vibhakti, and Kurukshetra us in 7th Vibhakti.
Whenever it is used, it mostly means that the action is being done on the entity or inside it.
रोगाः दहन्ति देहं प्रबलाः शरीरे
- रोगाः - diseases
- दहन्ति - destroys
- देहं - the body
- प्रबलाः - strong
- शरीरे - Inside the body
See शरीरे. You get the idea.
For feminine words we have याम्
अयोध्यायाम् - In Ayodhya
लङ्कायाम् - In Lanka
न हि द्रक्ष्यामि यदि तां लङ्कायां जनकात्मजाम् - If don't see the daughter of Janaka "In Lanka"
This example from Ramayana will make it clear.
Learn Sanskrit 6 - (4th Vibhakti)
You must have seen these before
कृष्णाय नमः, नमः शिवाय, देवाय नमः, रामाय नमः, महादेवाय नमः, योगेश्वराय नमः etc
[kṛṣṇāya namaḥ, namaḥ śivāya, devāya namaḥ, rāmāya namaḥ, mahādevāya namaḥ, yogeśvarāya namaḥ]
When you see आय in end of the word it mostly means "For"
शिवाय - for Shiva, नमः - Salutation / respect
This is used in masculine words ending in अ sound. For masculine words ending in इ or उ sound we have
अग्नये नमः (for अग्नि), विष्णवे नमः (for विष्णु), भानवे नमः (for भानु), पतये नमः (for पति)
This is very simple.
Now look at the following -
परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्। धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय संभवामि युगे युगे।।
paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṃ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām. dharmasaṃsthāpanārthāya saṃbhavāmi yuge yuge.
See words -
परित्राणाय
विनाशाय
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय
Now all you need to do, to underatand this is
Remove आय from words and search them in any dictionary like Kosha.
If you know meaning of विनाश you will know what विनाशाय means.
Learn Sanskrit 4. - (Relation)
If you want to show one entity as it is related to another entity, in words ending in a (अ) sound, we just add स्य to them to show relation.
See example -
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि -
भर्गः - Brilliance
देवस्य - of the Deva
धीमहि - may we behold
Here brilliance is of Deva hence we say देवस्य
If I have to say, Rāma's book, I'll say रामस्य पुस्तकम्
You will find many examples in Shastras -
द्रुपदस्य कुले जातः - Born in Drupada's lineage
प्रभावो रावणस्य - Power of Ravana
राघवस्य वचः - words of Raghava
लोकनाथस्य रामस्य दासो अस्मि - I am a servant of Lord of the universe (Loknatha) of Rama (Ramasya)
When you see स्य in end of a word, try to see which entitiy is it possessing.
Howework - make 20 such 2 word sentences like (रामस्य पुस्तकम्).
Learn Sanskrit - Common words
These are some of the words that you will find commonly while reading Sanskrit
सः - He
सा - She
तत् - it
ते - they
ताः - they (if all female)
कदा - when ?
किम् - What?
तदा - then
यदा - whenever
न - Not / no
कुतः - from where?
कथम् - How ?
मम - my
तव - your
तस्य - His
तस्याः - Her
अत्र - Here
तत्र - There
कुत्र - where?
यत्र - wherever
च - and
वा - or
अद्य - Today
ततः - from there
Learn Sanskrit 3 - [Basic sentence formation]
Now, I would introduce the concept of Kārak.
In the first lesson, I briefly mentioned that words modify based on how they are used in a sentence.
1. Karta (कर्ता) - In a sentence, the one who is doing an action is Karta.
2. Karma (कर्म) - The entity on which the action is performed.
For example -
रामः रावणम् अपश्यत् - Rāma saw Rāvana
रावणः रामम् अपश्यत् - Rāvana saw Rāma
When the action of seeing was done by Rāma, we wrote Rāmah in the sentence; when it was done by Rāvana, we wrote Rāvanah.
And when Rāma was being seen, we wrote Rāmam; when Rāvana was being seen, we wrote Rāvanam.
This is how Kārak works in a sentence; these are also called Vibhaktis.
Hence, even if you jumble up the words, the meaning of the sentence remains the same.
रामः रावणम् अपश्यत्
रावणम् अपश्यत् रामः
रामः अपश्यत् रावणम्
रावणम् रामः अपश्यत्
All of them mean the same thing.
How a word is modified depends on gender and the ending of the word.
A word like Rāma is a-karanta(अकारान्त) because the ending sound is 'a' and the word is masculine.
Agni is i-karanta (इकारान्त) because the ending sound is 'i'.
For now, we have covered two Vibhaktis, the first and second. Some sentences for your practice - (you can get the meaning of verbs used by using the method shown in lesson 2)
I will cover verbs in the past tense in detail in the next lesson; for now, just focus on Vibhaktis.
Detailed explanation is in the video attached.
Learn Sanskrit - Example
You can already start understanding Sanskrit by lesson 3. For example the following composition by Adi Shankara -
अच्युतं केशवं रामनारायणं
कृष्णदामोदरं वासुदेवं हरिम्
श्रीधरं माधवं गोपिकावल्लभं
जानकीनायकं रामचन्द्रं भजे
भजे means I worship, all other words in this are in Dwitiya Vibhakti. You can attach all words with "I worship" and get the meaning of this beautiful composition.
अच्युतं भजे - I worship the Achyuta (him who never degrades and is eternal)
केशवं भजे - I worship Keshav
रामनारायणं भजे - I worship Rāma who is Narayana
Similarly with all the other words.
Learn Sanskrit 2 - [Introduction to Verbs]
Let's start with the famous Shloka from Geeta -
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिः भवति भारत।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदाऽऽत्मानं सृजामि अहम्।।
yadā yadā hi dharmasya glāniḥ rbhavati bhārata.
abhyutthānamadharmasya tadā''tmānaṃ sṛjāmi aham.
Before starting with verbs, let's look at some common words like यदा / yadā and कदा/ kadā
These words do not change their forms.
कदा means "when?" (Hindi कब), its a question. यदा means "whenever" (जब).
हि indicates certainly or surely
There are two verbs in this Shloka that we will look at. भवति and सृजामि
In Sanskrit, there is something called as Verb root. It is the basic element which is modified to form various forms of a verb. For example the root सृज् means "to create".
This root is modified to various forms, such as
सृजामि - I create
सृजति - he creates
सृजथ - you all create
सृजावः - we both create
These verb forms are represented in form of verb tables like the one attached with this post.
You don't have to memorize these tables, you can easily find them online (on resources I shared), and as you practice you will automatically learn.
However it is important to learn how to find them and how to understand them.
To find them is easy, go to Ashtadhyayi . Com, click on धातुपाठः and in the search bar type the word you want (in this case सृजामि). I will attach a Video to guide you on this.
Now how to understand it. The first column is singular, second column is Dual, and third column is plural. Similarly, first row is third person, second row is second person and third row is first person. (Detailed explaination in the video attached)
In a sentence, there are basically three roles -
1. One who is doing the action
2. One on whom the action is done
3. The action itself
In the shloka above Krishna says
आत्मानम् अहम् सृजामि
ātmānam aham sṛjāmi
Aham means "I" this is the doer
ātmānam mean "To self" this is the one on whom action is done.
sṛjāmi is the action of creating.
Can be literally translated as "I create myself" although the actual interpretation in the shloka will depend on context.
We will start with Past tense and basics of sentence formation from next lessons onwards.

For those who want to learn Sanskrit, I'll be posting Sanskrit lessons here.
This will be fun, I'll make sure learners won't have to memorize rules or tables.
Note - The lessons will be focused on making learners able to read and understand written Sanskrit.
Love how @prvkhvr is using his platform to become the voice of India. This is important because most english speaking Indian sources westerns rely on are anti-India.

I have always suspected that the narrative of the "Islamic Golden Age", "Islamic Mathematics" or "Arabic Mathematicians" is just myth and propaganda. In this thread I explain why. (cc @GarudaPrakashan, @sankrant )
