Everything that happens is in the now,
Be aware and be present always.
इस फोटो में जो सज्जन हैं
उनका नाम श्रीमान कृष्णमूर्ति अय्यर है -जोकि किट्टू मामा के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हैं। अयंगर ब्राह्मण हैं।
किट्टू मामा एक 68 वर्षीय वरिष्ठ नागरिक हैं
और थेपीकुलम के पास त्रिची में दोसा और इडली बेचते हैं,
जो चतिराम बस स्टैंड के निकट है।
वह शाम 6 बजे के बाद अपनी दुकान खोलते हैं
और स्वादिष्ट इडली-दोसा स्वादिष्ट चटनी के साथ बहुत सस्ती कीमतों पर बेचते हैं।
जोकि सड़क पर 1 ठेले में संचालित करते हैं।
इस काम में उनकी पत्नी और एक युवा कर्मी सहायता करते हैं।
उनके ज्यादातर ग्राहक मजदूर हैं,
महिला हॉस्टल में रहने वाली कामकाजी महिलाएं,
बस कंडक्टर / ड्राइवर,ऑटो रिक्शा
और टैक्सी ड्राइवर, माल गाड़ी खींचने वाले, टेम्पो ड्राइवर / ट्रक ड्राइवर आदि।
वहां के स्थानीय लोग उनके उत्पादों की शुद्धता और स्वाद के लिए उनका बहुत सम्मान करते हैं।
बहुत ही उचित मूल्य पर लोगों को स्वादिष्ट भोजन उपलब्ध करवाते हैं।
कुछ दिन पहले वह हमेशा की तरह इडली और डोसा बना और बेच रहे थे।
और एक स्थानीय निगम पार्षद पांडियन ने आकर इडली / डोसा मांगा ..
वह नशे में धुत था।
वह एक स्थानीय "भाई" है
और विक्रेताओं से हफ्ता वसूली करता है। उसके साथ २ चमचे भी थे।
उन सभी ने खाना खाया और पांडियन ने खाने के पैसे नहीं दिए।
जब किट्टू मामा की पत्नी ने पैसे मांगे,
तो पांडियन क्रोधित हो गया और उसने किट्टू मामा को धक्का दे दिया और
इडली / इडली के साथ उसके घोल को फेंक दिया।
और उन्हें गाली दी - "तुम अय्यर - तुम मुझसे पैसे माँगने की हिम्मत कैसे कर रहे हो?"
और वह किट्टू राम के जनेऊ को पकड़कर खींचने और तोड़ने का प्रयास करने लगा।
किट्टू मामा उग्र हो गए और पास में पड़ी एक बांस की छड़ी को उठाया और गुंडों को पीटा।
और बोला कि,
"हाँ मैं एक गरीब ब्राह्मण हूँ लेकिन मेरा जनेऊ "वेदस्वरुप" है।
तुम्हारी हिम्मत कैसे हुई इसका अपमान करने की?
मैं मार्शल आर्ट भी जानता हूं।"
फिर उन्होंने सिलम्बट्टम में अपना कौशल दिखाया और गुंडों को विधिवत तोड़ दिया।
वहाँ सभी लोग देख रहे थे लेकिन डर के कारण गुंडे को नहीं रोका।
नशे में धुत नेता पांडियन भाग गया
लेकिन किट्टू मामा को धमकी दी कि वह अगले दिन अपनी पार्टी के कार्यकर्ताओं के साथ आएगा और उन्हें "देख" लेगा।
किट्टू मामा ने खाना बनाने का अपना काम जारी रखा।
वहां आसपास के कुछ मजदूरों ने किट्टू अय्यर से कहा कि अगले दिन गुंडे आने पर वे उसकी रक्षा करेंगे।
अगले दिन शाम को किट्टू मामा ने हमेशा की तरह अपनी दुकान शुरू की।
पार्षद और उसके गुंडे नहीं आए।
उसके अगले दिन भी नहीं आये।
तब किट्टू मामा को पता चला कि
उनके साथ लड़ने के बाद,
पार्षद एक दूसरी दुर्घटना में घायल हो गया है और आईसीयू में है,
और ऑपरेशन के लिए "दुर्लभ रक्त समूह" के रक्त की आवश्यकता है।
टीवी पर भी रक्तदान का अनुरोध किया गया था।
किट्टू मामा तुरंत अस्पताल गए,
रक्तदान किया क्योंकि उनके "रक्त" पार्षद के रक्त समूह का ही था,
जब तक ऑपरेशन खत्म नहीं हुआ,
किट्टू मामा अस्पताल में ही रहे
अगले दिन सुबह,पार्षद के परिवार ने उन्हें धन्यवाद दिया और किट्टू मामा ने जाकर उस पार्षद से मुलाकात की,
जो बात करने की हालत में था।
उसने किट्टू मामा से हाथ जोड़कर माफ़ी मांगी।और किट्टू मामा ने बताया - “मुझे अपने 'जनेऊ" की रक्षा करनी थी
क्योंकि यह मेरा "धर्म' है।
मुझे तुम्हें भी बचाना था क्योंकि यह भी मेरा "धर्म" है।
और आपके पास एक परिवार है
इसलिए मुझे लगा कि
मुझे निश्चित रूप से रक्त दान करके आपकी सहायता करनी चाहिए
इसलिए मैं पुनः अपने "धर्म" का पालन करने आ गया।

How Tata, Vembu's Zoho saved India's first MRI machine maker from MNC shark
https://t.co/ReiCjKpulR @svembu
@voxelgrids
Bengaluru startup Voxelgrids is making India's first MRI machine, which will reduce scan cost by up to 70%. However, a global giant sought to buy it out. It was funding from Tata Trusts and Sridhar Vembu's Zoho that helped stave off any buyout bids, reveals Arjun Arunachalam, founder and CEO of Voxelgrids.
Who to follow
The mantras, stotras and anushthans that the Rishis composed and set down were themselves an act of deeksha — an initiation they offered freely to all beings, not to a chosen few.
Mantra jaap, stotra paath and anushthan carry no side effects ever. They harm no one. Always good results. Irrespective of your horoscope, dasha, gochar or muhurat.
A guru can certainly make the path easier — clarifying the meaning, correcting the pronunciation, guiding you through the vidhi. That value is real, and the importance of the guru remains undiminished. But for these particular mantras and anushthans, a guru is not a precondition. Consider the Gayatri Mantra, Vishnu Sahasranama, Durga Saptashati, Aditya Hridayam, Shiva Panchakshari, Shiva Tandava Stotra, Mahamrityunjaya, Saundarya Lahari — and many more.
The words of the Rishi are themselves the guru. A guru need not be a person in flesh. Guru is a tattva — a principle, not a personality.
Human suffering has evolved.
Ancient man suffered from war, famine, disease, cold and catastrophe.
His pain came from the world around him.
He belonged to tribe, blood, and cosmos.
He did not endlessly analyze himself because his individual consciousness had not yet fully awakened.
Modern man has escaped much of that outer misery.
Yet he is more anxious, more lonely, more restless than ever.
Dr Steiner saw this long before psychology named the epidemic.
As the human I awakened and separated itself from instinct tradition and the spiritual world, suffering moved inward.
The battlefield shifted from the outer world to the inner one.
That is why modern people can possess comfort, security and abundance while still feeling an unbearable emptiness no material success can fill.
This is not just a mental-health crisis.
It is an evolutionary crisis of consciousness.
Ancient fear was fear of predators, storms, hunger and enemies.
Modern fear is fear of meaninglessness, isolation, failure, the future and even oneself.
The soul remembers that it once lived within a greater spiritual reality, yet now experiences itself as separated from it.
Anxiety is the shadow cast by that separation.
Steiner called this the midnight hour of the soul:
The moment when the individual stands alone, without myth, tribe or inherited certainty.
What feels like abandonment is in fact the birthplace of freedom.
Loneliness is not merely a symptom of modern life.
It is the price humanity pays for becoming truly individual.
But this is not the end of the story.
Suffering is never meaningless.
Every deeper form of consciousness demands a deeper encounter with pain.
From suffering, compassion is born.
From suffering, moral strength is forged.
From suffering, higher perception awakens.
The great movement of human evolution is not simply from outer suffering to inner suffering —
but from outer suffering to inner suffering, and finally to spiritual awakening.
The emptiness of the modern soul is not proof that humanity has lost its way.
It is the first sign that it is finally beginning to find it.
A new chapter for the youth of Uttar Pradesh begins here.
CM Yogi has ordered a complete Youth Policy shaped by the dreams of those aged 16 to 35.
No top-down approach. First listen, then design.
Skills, jobs, health, sports, leadership - all connected.
An independent commission will keep watch.
This is policy with purpose.
Uttar Pradesh is choosing its young generation first. #CMYuvaNeeti
The Reason India needs more such vidyapeeth and gurukuls.... Watch how students are thought to thank Maa Annapurna before Mid day meal 🙏
Completely fascinated by Bian Lian, the 300-year-old Sichuan face-changing art. More than 10 masks changed in under 20 seconds, with movements so seamless they seem to defy logic. Can’t understand how exactly they must be doing it 😱!
Humanoids will take a lot of roles that Humans do today . #SENisms
But what will power these HUMANOIDS to have that amount of insane brain power to do do surgery ?
It’s MEMORY, precisely HBM 🎯
That’s my THESIS No. 77 for why i am BULLISH on $MU .
Have all the RIGHTS TO BE WRONG .
P.S: There is a reason @elonmusk thanked MICRON in their latest EARNINGS CALL Publicly , all I do is connect the dots 🙏
Vitthala's iconography carries a profound spiritual message.
He stands in the unique kati-nyasta-hasta posture, with both hands resting on His waist, a form rarely seen in other manifestations of Vishnu.
He stands without any weapons, holding just a conch and a lotus bud in his hands.
This traditional interpretation of his posture is deeply symbolic: for a devotee who takes refuge in Vitthala, the vast ocean of worldly suffering (Samsara) is only waist-deep.
Shivprabhat 🙏🏽

′′ Le vélo est la mort lente de la planète ".
Un banquier a fait réfléchir les économistes quand il a déclaré : ′′
Un cycliste est une catastrophe pour l'économie du pays :
il n'achète pas de voitures et n'emprunte pas d'argent pour l'acheter.
Il ne paie pas les polices d'assurance.
N'achète pas de carburant, ne paie pas pour la révision et les réparations nécessaires de la voiture.
N 'utilise pas de parking payant.
Il ne provoque pas d'accidents majeurs.
Ne nécessite pas d'autoroutes multiples.
Il ne devient pas obèse.
Les gens en bonne santé ne sont pas nécessaires ou utiles à l'économie.
Ils n'achètent pas de médicaments, ils ne vont pas dans les hôpitaux ou chez les médecins, ils n'ajoutent rien au PIB du pays.
Tandis que chaque nouveau magasin McDonald' s crée au moins :
30 emplois,
dont 10 cardiologues,
10 dentistes,
10 experts en régime alimentaire et nutritionnistes,
ainsi que les personnes qui travaillent dans le magasin lui-même, évidemment ".
Choisissez donc avec attention : un vélo ou un Mc Donald ?
Ça vaut la peine d'y penser...
PS : marcher c'est encore pire car les piétons n'achètent même pas de vélo !
10 Habits That Silently Destroy a Man's Dharma
Most men don't lose their Dharma in a single moment.
They lose it through small compromises repeated every day.
Here are 10 habits that silently destroy a man's Dharma.
A thread 🧵
A mother monkey walked straight up to strangers and basically begged them to help her baby.
No aggression. No panic display for the camera. Just pure, desperate maternal instinct. She knew her baby was in trouble and she chose to trust humans she had never met.
That moment hits different when you’ve watched enough wildlife videos. Most animals in crisis either freeze, fight, or flee. This one calculated the risk, approached the only beings who could help, and handed her child over.
There’s a quiet lesson in that. Motherhood — human or animal — doesn’t always look like strength. Sometimes it looks like humility. Sometimes the bravest thing a mother can do is admit she can’t fix it alone and ask for help.
The strangers didn’t film first and help second. They just helped. And the mother stayed close the whole time, watching, waiting, trusting.
In a world that often feels loud and cynical, these little moments still exist. A wild mother. A group of strangers. One fragile baby. And the simple decision to care.
That kind of quiet courage is worth noticing.
A 49 year old father suffered a stroke last November and lost his voice. His kids missed his laugh. His wife missed hearing him say her name.
An AI company called Bland built a speech engine trained on over 100 million real human conversations. To showcase what it can do, they took 5 seconds of old footage of James speaking.
And gave him his voice back.
Not a robotic version. Not a flat text-to-speech read. His actual voice. His tone. His emotion. His laugh.
The first thing he said was "I got my voice back." Then he told his wife she was the best wife and mom in the world.
The model is called Speech v3. Ranked number one on Audio Realism benchmarks above ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Grok, and Cartesia. It's already powering thousands of phone calls a day.
But none of that matters as much as watching a father talk to his family again.
This is what AI is actually for.
Faces do tell the Story! U just need to read faces to know what must have happened inside!

I looked at these numbers yesterday.
They are genuinely impressive. 85% of our expressways, 75% of our metro, all in twelve years.
Then I wanted to dig one level deeper, so I put the chart next to China.
I know, every time someone compares India with China, half the replies say it is unfair, different system, different scale, thirty year head start.
And yes if you compare with China today, the comparison is useless.
But any study is only as good as its benchmark.
You cannot judge a build decade in a vacuum. So I did the comparison with China from 2000 to 2013, when their per capita income was where ours is now.
They crossed today's Indian income level around 2007. Their 2000s are our 2014 to 2026.
If you analyse it like that, the answer splits cleanly in two.
They were faster on physical work. Much, much faster.
Expressways.
China went from 16,000 km to 104,000 km in that window. They added 88,000 km. We added about 6,700. One thirteenth of their pace, at the same income level.
High speed rail.
China opened its first line in 2008, at almost exactly our current income. Six years later, around 10,000 km were running. We broke ground in 2017 and nine years on, our first 508 km is still not open.
Metro.
They went from about 140 km to over 2,000. We went from 250 to 1,000.
Power.
They roughly quadrupled capacity, from about 320 GW to about 1,250. We doubled, 249 to 540.
Anyone who calls our pace world‑beating should consider those numbers for a more honest picture.
But here is the other half, and the comparison flips completely.
Where the work was digital or institutional, we are ahead of same-stage China.
In some places, ahead of anyone ever.
Solar.
When China was at our income in 2013, it had about 19 GW of solar. We have 162. Eight times more, and we hit 50% non-fossil capacity five years before our Paris deadline. Their clean energy boom came after they got rich. Ours came now.
Payments.
China at our stage was a cash economy, and when digital payments arrived there, they arrived as two private walled gardens, Alipay and WeChat.
We built a public rail any app can plug into. UPI runs 23 billion transactions a month, which is 49% of every real time digital payment on the planet. The IMF calls it the world's largest fast payment system. On this one, delegations come to study us.
Banking.
Around 53% of our adults had a bank account in 2014. Around 87% now. 53 crore Jan Dhan accounts, most held by women, most rural. Nobody has moved that many people into formal finance that fast, at any income level.
Data.
₹269 per GB in 2014 to about ₹8 now. Internet users from 25 crore to 97 crore. Fastest 5G rollout anywhere.
Aviation.
74 airports to 165, third biggest domestic market in the world. Holds up against anyone's decade.
And the doctor pipeline.
AIIMS from 8 to 23. Medical colleges 387 to 844. MBBS seats 51,000 to 1.39 lakh. That is the number of doctors India will have in 2040.
If you step back, the pattern is hard to miss.
Wherever the job needed land, we were slow. Land acquisition in a democracy costs time, and it shows in every kilometre.
Wherever the job was digital or institutional, we moved faster than China ever did at this income.
We are not building the way China built. We are building a different stack in a different order. Digital first, concrete second. They did the reverse.
The 2040s will answer which order turns out better.

*Mount Kailash* is a mountain peak that is considered extremely sacred by Sanatanis. *It is located in Tibet and is about 6000 meters high.*
No one is known to have ever climbed it so far.
Chinese Scientists used a very special drone to capture this. Flying drones above 6000 meters is difficult, but they have still managed to capture this amazing view for us.
A nearly 5-minute long video, captured in full without missing a detail, is here for you to watch.
Mount Kailash, where Lord Shiva resides — for your viewing.

The body you see in the mirror is not the real you.
Modern science tells you you're a biological machine made of flesh, chemicals, and neurons.
Dr Steiner says this is only the outermost layer of your being.
The physical body is the shell of a far greater spiritual organism.
Behind it stands the etheric body: the living force that builds, sustains, and remembers life.
It doesn't just keep you alive — it carries the history of humanity, the evolution of the Earth, and even memories of pre‑earthly existence.
When spiritual development awakens, this hidden body begins to reveal objective imaginations:
living pictures of ancient civilizations, previous incarnations, cosmic evolution, and the higher beings who shaped humanity long before history began.
Your astral body reveals something deeper still;
it exposes your moral condition.
A selfish person literally bears a darkened, chaotic astral body.
One who lives for truth, beauty, and the good of others transforms it into something radiant.
Spiritual perception is not unlocked by techniques alone.
It is earned through purification.
The quality of your consciousness determines the quality of the reality you can perceive.
Then comes the greatest mystery.
The human “I” is a spiritual force capable of expanding beyond the physical world.
As it develops, it enters higher realities and forms conscious relationships with entire hierarchies of spiritual beings.
Human consciousness was never meant to remain confined to ordinary waking life.
Even the soul evolves:
Feeling becomes intuition.
Thinking becomes inspiration.
Perception becomes imagination.
These are higher organs of cognition through which the invisible structure of reality becomes directly knowable.
And the physical world is not what it appears to be.
Animals, plants, minerals — these are condensed expressions of deeper spiritual activity.
Matter is not the foundation of existence.
Spirit is.
But this path demands caution.
The closer you come to higher perception, the more your hidden weaknesses rise up against you.
This is why Steiner insisted that mastery over thought, will, emotion, positivity, open mindedness, and inner harmony is not optional.
It is the price of safe spiritual development.
Human evolution is not finished.
Each person will either awaken to the spiritual dimensions of existence or become increasingly identified with a world hardening into lifeless materialism.
You were never meant to become a better machine.
You were meant to remember you are a cosmic being.
The dialogue b/w Indra (representing the relentless seeker) & Prajāpati (the divine teacher) in the Chāndogya Upaniṣad is 1 of the most brilliant strategic allegories in world literature. It is an ancient masterclass in 1st-principles thinking, rigorous questioning & refusing to settle for comfortable illusions.
Prajāpati announces a cosmic decree to all beings:
"The Self (Ātman) is free from evil, free from old age, free from death, free from sorrow, free from hunger and thirst. It desires only the Truth, wills only the Truth. He who seeks and realizes this Self obtains all worlds and all desires."
Hearing this, 2 rivals set out to learn this secret: Indra, the King of the Gods (Devas), and Virochana, the King of the Demons (Asuras). They arrive at Prajāpati's abode as humble students, carrying firewood, and serve him for 32 yrs.
After 32 yrs, Prajāpati gives them their 1st teaching. He says: “The person who is seen in the eye...that is the Self. That is the Immortal, the Fearless. That is Brahman.”
Indra and Virochana ask: “But Lord, what about the one who is perceived in water / in a mirror?”
Prajāpati replies that it is the same Self that is seen in all these. He then tells them to look at themselves in a pan of water and asks what they see. They report seeing themselves fully (down to hair and nails).
He instructs them to dress in their finest clothes, adorn themselves with jewels, and look again.
Prajāpati: “What do you see?”
Indra & Virochana: “We see ourselves exactly as we are, Lord...well-groomed, beautifully dressed, and adorned.”
Prajāpati: “That is the Self. That is the Immortal, the Fearless. That is Brahman.”
Virochana is thrilled. He goes back to the Asuras and declares: "The body is everything! Pamper it, worship it, serve it. There is nothing higher." (This became the foundational philosophy of pure physical materialism).
Indra starts walking home to heaven, but before he reaches the gods, a terrifying realization strikes him mid-step:
"If this body is well-groomed, the reflection is well-groomed. If this body is blind, the reflection is blind. If this body is crippled, the reflection is crippled. And when this body perishes, the reflection perishes! I see no value in this."
Indra turns around, walks back to Prajāpati, and says: "Lord, this answer does not satisfy me."
Prajāpati smiles and tells Indra to stay for another 32 yrs. When the time passes, Prajāpati gives him the 2nd level of teaching.
Prajāpati: "That which moves about happy in dreams, that is the Self. That is the Immortal, the Fearless."
Indra leaves, satisfied for a moment. He thinks: "In dreams, the mind is free from physical deformities! If the body is blind, the dream-self can still see."
But halfway home, the flaw in this logic hits him like a bolt of lightning:
"Even though the dream-self does not suffer from physical blindness, it still suffers! In dreams, 1 gets chased by monsters, 1 gets struck down, 1 cries, 1 feels fear and grief. The subtle mind is still a prisoner of its own projections."
Indra returns a 2nd time: "Lord, this too is flawed."
Prajāpati asks Indra to serve for another 32 yrs (now 96 yrs total) and offers the 3rd level:
Prajāpati: "When a person is sound asleep, totally at rest, dreaming no dreams, knowing no desire, that is the Self. That is the Immortal."
Indra leaves again. But before reaching home, he hits another conceptual wall...the most terrifying 1 yet:
"In deep, dreamless sleep, a person does not know 'I am this' or 'I am that.' It is complete unawareness! It is as if 1 has gone into total annihilation or non-existence (Vināśam evāpīto bhavati). There is no joy, no awareness, no light. I see no glory in becoming a void."
Indra returns a 3rd time.....
He has rejected the Body (Materialism), the Mind/Dreams (Psychological Ego), and Dreamless Sleep (Unconsciousness/Nihilism).
Prajāpati, seeing that Indra has passed every intellectual trap and refused to accept a partial truth, asks him to stay for 5 more yrs (making it 101 yrs of disciplined pursuit).
Finally, Prajāpati reveals the ultimate truth:
"O Indra, this body is mortal, held in the grip of death. But it is the dwelling place of the deathless, bodiless Self (Ātman).
When the Self is attached to the body, it is caught in pleasure and pain. But when it realizes it is not the body, no pleasure or pain can touch it.
The eye is merely the instrument for seeing; the 1 who knows 'I see' is the Self. The ear is merely the instrument for hearing; the one who knows 'I hear' is the Self. The mind is merely its divine eye (Divyacakṣus).
The Self is the ultimate Observer, the light that illumines the body, the dreams, and the deep sleep, while remaining untouched by all 3."
Virochana represents the vast majority of people who take a surface-level, comfortable answer and build their entire life around it. Indra represents the rare 1% who question even "divine authority" when the logic does not hold up.
