An overwhelmed Jagadish brought the sacred Hindu figurine to his house. By that time, the news had spread in the neighbourhood. This prompted a rush of Hindu devotees to his house.
However, a local leader suggested that he hand over the Shivling to the police. On his advice, Jagadish and his wife Anjana Biswas handed over the Shivling to the police at around 11:30 am on Saturday (August 20)

So I was discussing this issue of threats to #NupurSharmaBJP with one of my Muslim friends who studied with me in past, and eventually he's doing PhD in one of the universities in EU.

The topic came up like what do you feel about threats to #NupurSharma for what she said?
The answer was very surprising..

"She spoke insulted our god and now she has to face the wrath of our Quom"

Me: "But what about freedom of speech? Did she make any false accusations? Can you tell me what part of words she spoke is not truth?"

Him: "it's not about what's truth+
It's just about you cannot speak of it. You're not allowed to as you're not from our religion."

Me: "So in your religion are you allowed to question this?"

Him: "we're told not to do so"

Me: "What about people making fun of #Shivling then? Should we treat them same way?"

"Idol Worship" - #MurtiPuja - Hindus worship murtis as living embodiment of SupremeBeing. It helps keep focus. They chose a form closest to their inclination. - Krishna for fun loving, Ram for firmness in human values, Durga for divine powerful mother, Buddha for meditative 1/n
#Shivling is the closest to niraakaar or formless Supreme Being, the source of all the power of the universe. It is a symbol of that infinite energy. Read why nuclear reactors are formed like Shivling, because only this shape withstands that level of energy 2/n
Those who ONLY believe in formless God too end up worshiping some form of the representation of the SupremeBeing - Buddha and Mahavir said no to murti puja, so their followers ended up worshipping their idols. Christians ended up with Cross on their altars, Muslims at Kaba 3/n

Important thread wrt claim that the element found is not a #Shivling but a remnant of a fountain.

First I'm sharing arguments to assert it to be fountain is vague (from perspective of a student of Architecture).

Parties may refute it or use in court if found substantial.
Well, the structure must be of the era of Aurangzeb should it be part of "Fountain Jet" or "fawwara."

Then one needs to look at the working of landscape architecture of that era. This paper gives a very good details & I shall use it as source jstor.org/stable/4415632…
When Babur came to Bharat (Hindustan in his words), he found only "Saqia" (rehet) the most effective method to pull water up.

The paper also explains that "gravity" was major method & when water-body was close-by (Ganga here) , it was the source.

The Fast for Life Partner of Dreams- 16 Somvar Vrat

The wish of every female is to get a caring, successful, intelligent, and virtuous life partner, the life-partner who is devoted, and the one who genuinely loves her. The secret desire is to get one like Lord Shiva 1/8 Image
Who awaited millions and millions of years for Devi Sati to be reborn as Devi Parvati. If Parwati ji can get a deserving and balanced life-partner then why can’t all the other females in this world get one?

Devi #Parvati did rigorous puja, went through strict 2/8
examination of Her will and determination, and only then She found Her true love in the form of Lord Shiva. Females in #Kaliyug may not follow that precise and punctilious procedure but they can keep fast for 16 Mondays, starting from the first Monday of Sawan i.e. Monday 3/8
