This is Vaikom Mahadev Temple. Before closing the main gates of the temple, one of the staff from the temple has to call out aloud at all 4 main gates “Is there anyone who is starving for dinner tonight?”
If any person says he is hungry, he will be fed dinner and then only the gates will be closed.
This is one temple which feeds both Lunch and Dinner to anyone who steps in asking for food to the temple.. this custom can be seen in majority of hindu aristocratic families in kerala
Thanks to communist and their land reforms the custom of feeding all is no longer in practise. Our padmanabha temple cooked about 3600 kg of rice a day to Feed people We had the real idea of feeding poor. Thanks to govt taking away it's lands it's no longer in practice now. .

Before sun had even set on day that a white nationalist opened fired in #Poway synagogue, killing 1Jewish person at prayer & injuring 3 more, at least 3 Jewish men in positions of power & accountability were using the occasion to foment Islamophobia & their right-wing agendas 1/7
Dov Hikind is a NY State Assemblyman. Chip Roy is a Congressman from Texas. Mort Klein is head of the ZOA. Each tried to personally connect Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first Muslim women in Congress, to this heinous attack. We need some accountability 2/7
They have constituents and institutions that they are accountable to and in relationship with. Every single Jewish institution, Jewish elected, and Jewish constituent needs to be calling them to account. Everyone else too, but these are our "community leaders" so it's on us 3/7

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre handled approximately 275 incidents per year that "have a state actor behind them," says Jeremy Fleming, Director GCHQ, in (badly edited) speech < this number is remarkably high gchq.gov.uk/uk-global-cybe…
It happened before at least once in 2018 ... still, remarkable to see the director of GCHQ explicitly namecheck and call out an adversarial Russian intelligence agency in public
Important detail: we don't know how GCHQ counted "incidents" here. Did NotPetya and WannaCry, for example, show up as one incident or as multiple incidents given the wide range of UK targets? Not unlikely the latter.

1/Back in December, @aaronjtrujillo and I called for the 2020 Dem Presidentials and the DNC/State Parties to come together to fight disinformation and hacking in the upcoming Democratic Presidential primary. nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
2/I've expanded on that call in recent weeks, fleshing out the idea a bit further. We should all commit to not use the illicit tactics of Russians and others against one another in Democratic primaries, and to more aggressively call out those who do. ndn.org/blog/2019/02/n…
3/Was grateful to be able to have talked about this idea of a "pledge," or "pact" against the use of illicit campaign tactics in 2020 on this recent segment on the great @JoyAnnReid's @MSNBC show. msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/h…

Ok a little thread about crime in SF and why it’s so incredibly frustrating for the people who live here.

(Hopefully @LondonBreed will help? I know she cares a lot about this issue, hope she reads this thread) @hknightsf might be interested too.
Last month a lady named Linda rented a van from us for a few days. It was due back on January 31st. It didn’t come back. Instead, the next day, a guy we’ve never heard of called and asked to extend the rental... a month! This isn’t normal.
We know from experience this is very suspicious. We told them to bring the van back right away. He said they would be back the next morning. We knew that was unlikely. We were right. The next day came and went with no sign of the van.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
