🚨 Most Hindus know Kumbh Mela… and may have heard of Sadhus coming from various Akhadas (Traditions).

But very few know about the 13 Akhāḍās

🔥These are not just “groups of sadhus.”
They are ancient monastic orders — guardians of Sanātana Dharma, following the tradition and discipline of Tapas, Shāstra, Yoga, Sevā & Dharma-Raksha. 🔱

📜 Guru principle:
तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया।
— Bhagavad Gītā 4.34
Truth is learned through humility, inquiry & service to tattva-darśī gurus.

My grandfather once told me that his parents gave a room on rent to a muslim couple with 2 children.

Initially, everything was fine. But three years later, that muslim woman had given birth to three more children. The husband started sleeping on terrace with his elder son. It was almost like encroachment.

So, my great grandfather advised the muslim man to leave their house and shift to a bigger place.

Just few days later, the muslim man filed a case and claimed that he is the original owner of the house and my great grandparents were living as tenants. Other muslim neighbours were presented as witness.

My great grandparents won the case after four years. And since then he maintained the distance from Abduls for the rest of his life and taught his son (i.e. my grandfather) this mantra "Puncture Putram, Kabhi Naa Mitram" and my grandfather has passed this invaluable knowledge to us.

So, when Abduls tell stories about not getting a flat on rent in societies mainly having Hindus, I only laugh at their stories. And I wonder, why don't muslims go to muslim areas if they want to rent a house??

Kirti Azad's father was Bihar CM from Congress. He deserted Congress & Joined BJP, fought & won 2 Lok Sabha Election. Wanted a ministry, created nuisance, Sacked. Joined Congress, contested Dhanbad LS election against BJP & lost by 4.8 lakh votes. His wife joined AAP & lost election. Kirti Azad joined TMC & won the election. Now this guy has the audacity to call others "Gaddar".
The irony is He joined Mamta Bannerjee who 24x7 abused Biharis & How weird it is when everyone deserted Mamta, a Bihari is standing with her.

In Bengali, we say: “Shaap o morbe, aar latthi o bhangbe na” — kill the snake without breaking the stick.

The Bengal model of the TMC split appears far more strategic, and potentially more dangerous, than the Maharashtra template. The BJP avoids the political baggage of directly inducting TMC MPs—something many within the Bengal BJP and RSS have opposed—while still potentially strengthening the NDA’s numbers in Parliament through the support of a breakaway bloc.

No direct merger, no direct accountability, but possibly the same political outcome.
