@mmpandit Pranaam sir. Grateful for the guidance and clarification about the injection.🙏
Your caution on this matter is very useful to many. Just the other day, a family member in the mid-50s was identified with degenerative changes in the spine and neck.

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

@mmpandit Pranaam sir. Is this the same as the dexa scan and injection (steroid) you had suggested in another thread?

Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa on becoming the first Indian to win the Norway Chess tournament - one of the ultimate tests of endurance, intellect and temperament in the world of chess.

To defeat the world’s absolute best on one of chess’s grandest stages is a remarkable feat. But what makes it even more special is the spirit with which Pragg plays. Fearless - Focused - Deeply Indian.

@rpraggnachess, you represent the confidence of a rising, youthful India.

The entire nation is incredibly proud of you, Pragg. 🇮🇳♟️

Quite extraordinary. One would have thought Putin would know better.

Media Blackout: The Islamization of Russia Is Accelerating - And Putin Is Actively Leading the Charge!

Just days ago, on May 27, 2026, Eid al-Adha prayers turned major Russian cities into Islamic strongholds.

Moscow’s central streets were completely shut down as hundreds of thousands of worshippers spilled out from the Cathedral Mosque onto roads, sidewalks, and public spaces because the mosques couldn’t hold the crowds. Prayer rugs covered entire city blocks.

The same scenes played out across St. Petersburg, Kazan, Ufa, Chechnya and beyond.

This visible takeover of public space is now impossible to miss in a country that was once the heart of Orthodox Christianity.

And the signs are multiplying fast:

• Halal sections are now standard in supermarkets nationwide - Russia’s halal market has hit 2.5 trillion rubles and is growing 15-20% per year, far outpacing everything else.

• Sharia-compliant Islamic banking is being fast-tracked: the pilot program was extended to 2028, and the country’s first full Islamic bank is launching in 2026, with Putin’s government and Sberbank pushing it forward.

• Sharia Hijabs are now officially allowed in passport photos and government ID documents.

• Prayer rooms are popping up in airports, malls, universities, and public buildings while the call to prayer (adhan) echoes louder from over 8,000 mosques (exploded from just ~100 in 1991).

• De facto Sharia elements are tolerated in Chechnya and parts of the Caucasus.

Putin is personally fueling every step of this.

He sends glowing official Eid greetings every year, repeatedly calls Islam a “great” and “integral” part of Russia’s cultural code, meets regularly with Grand Muftis, praises their “patriotism,” and has approved new state funding for Quranic madrasas.

At the same time, his regime keeps borders wide open to mass migration from Muslim Central Asia — visa-free entry, fast-track citizenship, and even army recruitment bonuses. Hundreds of thousands of Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Kyrgyz pour in annually while ethnic Russian birth rates collapse.

Russia’s Grand Mufti has openly predicted Muslims could reach 30% by the early 2030s. Academics see it climbing toward one-third or even half the population by mid-century.

This is the exact same demographic jihad playbook hitting every country on Earth: higher birth rates, mass migration, street prayers, and growing Sharia accommodations.

Europe’s no-go zones, Britain’s grooming scandals, France’s banlieues, America’s parallel societies, and Russia are simply repeating the West’s mistakes in fast-forward.

Russia’s Orthodox heartland is being hollowed out. Public spaces are being conquered. And the man in charge is rolling out the red carpet.

Wake up. The writing is on the wall, and it’s written in Arabic.

Did you know?

During Partition in the year 1947, Muslim League mobs encircled the Golden temple of Sikhs in Amritsar. They were about to destroy the temple.
It was RSS Swayamsevaks of Amritsar who fought a pitched battle with the mobs. They saved the Sikh Golden temple from destruction on March 6 1947.

The Muslim League mobs marched towards Harmandir Sahib.

They raised slogans like "leke rahenge Pakistan" and "let us do what Abdali did"

But then, there was a surprise awaiting the jεhadi mobs.

They were encircled, fiercely attacked and repelled. Muslim League had to run for their lives.
The protectors were none other than RSS Swayamsevaks.

The jihadis were particularly terrified of one Swayamsevak called Bijli Pehelwan. RSS stationed hundreds of Swayamsevaks around the Harmandir Sahib shrine to protect it from desecration by Mμslim League mobs.

The Swayamsevaks guarded the shrine 24*7. 
The Swayamsevaks were posted around the shrine for the entire year 

"The contribution of RSS Swayamsevaks during Partition is no way less than that of Jawans"- Brigadier GS Singh.
Amritsar, December 1947 

The Muslim league mob attacked again on March 9, 1947.

The Sevadars of Harmandir Sahib asked RSS for help.

Durgadas Khanna, the RSS head of Amritsar, gave them assurance.

RSS swayamsevaks promptly defended and repulsed the second invasion as well

Indian babies have been sleeping with parents for centuries. Same with babies in many parts of Asia & Africa.
The West forgot the basics & started separate rooms, controlled crying & all that nonsense. That was blindly followed by the "progressive" set in India. Now it seems common sense is coming back in fashion

Sunlight is medicine.

Not a metaphor. Literal medicine.

Morning sun exposure within 60 minutes of waking sets your cortisol rhythm, anchors your circadian clock, and improves insulin sensitivity for the entire day.

UVB exposure triggers vitamin D synthesis that supplements can't fully replicate.

Near-infrared light from the sun directly stimulates mitochondrial function.

We've lived under that sun for 1,000's & 1,000's of years.

We've been indoors under fluorescent lights for about 80.

And we wonder why chronic disease exploded in that same window.

10 minutes of morning sunlight costs nothing. The metabolic return is enormous.

Stop optimizing everything else and not getting sufficient sun exposure.

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

Well said.

[FCPUI 🇮🇳 @Rnb129]

Always fascinating that Hindus mass migrate to USA in 60s and within 10y establish a temple in Pittsburgh reminiscing their homeland

While all those European steppe "Aryans" came to India 1500y ago, wrote the Vedas and left NOT ONE reference to Europe or its native culture?

@imcaptRS @Rajiv1841 Looks like you have a chip on your shoulder w.r.t to Sachin. The greats of the game know where Sachin stands in the history of cricket.

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

@imcaptRS @Rajiv1841 You can look up the stats and articles in espncricinfo yourself. Also countless videos and documentaries of former greats of every country talking about how he dominated their bowlers. I think Vaibhav is incredible but please don't make non-factual statements about Sachin.

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

@imcaptRS @Rajiv1841 4-5 aggressive innings in a nearly 25 year old career? Seriously? You need to go back and review his record.

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

@hyderabaddoctor I always considered you an open-minded doc. Super disappointing that you decided to toe the same line as a certain (in)famous liver doc. Surely you are not unaware of the absolute loot going on in 'modern' medicine in hospitals and clinics all over India?

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

@tskrishnan @hormndoc A few years ago, Mata Amritanandamayi Amma said in a satsang in her Ashram, "Pandu, ivida ellam tamizh alle" (Wasn't it all Tamizh here in ancient times?)

[Uday Mahurkar @UdayMahurkar]

Pay tributes to Veer Savarkar on his Jayanti. He preached & followed Hindutva nationalism. 'Varam janahitam dhyeyam kevalaa na janastutihi as unalloyed (Not praise of people, public welfare alone!)' was the mantra of Savarkar's life, even as a teenager. This has a message for today’s politics of populism.

He started the Abhinav Bharat Society to overthrow British rule at a time when British Raj was considered a boon. He established the Patit Pavan Mandir, a temple open to all, when orthodox Hindus opposed temple entry of the so-called lower castes.

In the times of appeasement under the name of Hindu-Muslim unity, he stood for equal rights for all. Though dubbed as communalist, he did not stop fighting for Akhand Bharat.

In the era of Panchsheel and non-violence as foreign & security policy of India, he advocated militarisation of the youth and upgradation of the armed forces.

He predicted partition 10 years before it happened in 1947 as he knew that it will be the end result of Congress politics of Hindu-Muslim unity at any cost & complete non-violence , which he rightly thought, would be exploited by Muslim League.

He did one of the biggest works of Bhasha Shudddi in modern India . How many people know that he coined now know words like Doordarshan for TV , Mahapaur for mayor , Parshad for municipal councillor, ‘Amar Rahen’ for ‘Zindabad ‘ etc.

He predicted the 1962 Indo China war 8 years before it happened when he saw that Pandit Nehru’s weak strategy with China would whet China’s appetite for swallowing India’s land.

A.k.a security theatre. The GoI is just kicking the can down the road. As if our defence forces have nothing better to do.
We pride ourselves on secure, EVM based elections for nearly 97 crore voters. Why can't the exams be moved online, as was announced?

[The Analyzer (News Updates🗞️) @Indian_Analyzer]

🚨 HUGE! Modi Govt is seriously considering a major reform:

Handing over Question papers of all important national exams (including NEET) to the Defence Forces for SAFEKEEPING🤯

A high-level meeting was held at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence to make NEET & other competitive exams completely secure and transparent.

Several measures were discussed in detail to make the entire process FOOLPROOF & eliminate any possibility of irregularities or leaks in the future.

This would be a landmark step to restore full credibility in India’s examination system.

Defence Forces guarding exam integrity, big move coming! 🔥🇮🇳

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

@Indian_Analyzer Aka security theatre. The GoI is just kicking the can down the road. As if our defence forces have nothing better to do.
We pride ourselves on the EVM based voting system. Why should it be difficult to move the exams online, as was announced?

[KarthikV @rkvweb]

Great example of the incompetence in the CBSE. Regional head cannot distinguish between the offline exam and the online system that they use for paper correction, re-evaluation etc. Oh, man!

[IANS @ians_india]

Chandigarh: On CBSE's On-Screen Marking system, CBSE Regional Head, Rajesh Kumar Gupta says, "Regarding your question about the website being hacked, I completely deny it. I am rejecting this allegation outright. Because exams are being conducted offline so there are no questions of website being hacked..."

Happy to have played out a crazy fighting game against Magnus.
Fortunate to have come out on top.
Looking forward to play more fighting games!

@rpraggnachess Pragg, thank you for setting an example for youngsters to follow with your dignified and gracious behaviour in both victory and defeat. You remind me of @sachin_rt in that respect. Kudos to your parents for such upbringing. Please keep it up always.

This Scientific American expropriation of Pranayama and renaming it in their own image is neither science nor respect. They have just touched the surface of Pranayama that should be aligned with all eight limbs of Yoga and the realisation of the Purusha, the Seer and Self beyond the body and mind.
