For all those saying Shore temple is not a temple but a monument, you must know that Shore temple is one of the 108 divya desams (Vishnu Kshetrams). Sthala sayana swamy of shore temple has been worshipped by Thirumangai Azhwar.
Various records also suggest that Pallava kings worshipped Sthala sayana before going to the battlefield. The shore temple was shifted to the current Sthala sayana swamy temple in front of Bhagiratha's penance (wrongly stated as Arjuna's penance) during Vijayanagara period
The reason for this shift has been mainly attributed to the rise in sea level which caused existential crisis for the temple on the shore.
Unbelievable to see some tweeps saying, "These monuments were never meant for worship". The ignorance level among Hindus is so astonishing. One of the oldest cave temples of Mamallapuram dedicated to Varaha who is also believed to be the Kuladeva of Pallavas is still functioning

As we are nearing the 1st anniversary of the great resistance put up by Hindus in #Sabarimala, I have decided to put out a thread to make people know abt the unsung heroes who had a greater role to play in defending the sanctity of Ayyappa's abode.
After the success of #ReadytoWait movement in social media, prominent members of the movement in @kuvalayamala and @shilpamdas decided to join the Supreme court case for showing the perspective of Ayyappa devotees
.@Kuvalayamala who was a good friend of mine for about a year at that point of time approached me for help in joining the case. As a result, @Ravilochanan86 and myself brought together a group of like minded indivduals and formed @People4Dharma

The eviction drive at Puri reached the historic Emara Matha today. The matha which stands as a testimony of Ramanujacharya's arrival at Puri and his influence on the traditions of the temple is not only a heritage building but also a sacred place of worship for Vaishnavas
The matha which is believed to have been established by the disciples of Ramanujacharya and derives its name from Embar the cousin brother of Ramanujacharya. It is widely believed to be the place where Ramanujacharya stayed during his stint at Puri.
The matha has been involved in various social activities apart from being the supervisor of rituals at Srimandira. While Puri Shankaracharya is famous worldwide as protector of dharma at SriKshetra not many know that Emara Matha acharya was the spiritual guardian of the temple

Many including @ShefVaidya criticized the pvt authorities running #Padmanabhaswamytemple for the poor state of gaushala which hit the headlines last week. But no one noted that since the SC takeover of temple admin, the funds have stopped being utilized for dharmic purposes
Leave alone funding the gaushala which is run by 3rd parties near its premises.. The temple could not even fund the Shankaracharya associated with its rituals, when he was thrown out of his matha
As a result, the Pushpanjali swamiyar of Munchira Mathom had to spend nights in Trivandrum Central Railway station for 2 months when he was evicted from his matha premises by certain powerful encroachers

Those planning to participate in the #FreeZimbabwe demonstrations, and those supporting them:

Be cautious of those speaking like they are with you, but advocating violence.

The forces against you are hard at work, trying to frame this demonstration as something it is not.
Even those that have allied with you for a long time: they may be a victim of propaganda, or they may be compromised, or worse they were never really with you.

There is no violence called for in these demos, for any reason.
#FreeZimbabwe
Also be aware of the naysayers; insulate your mind & spirit against them.

They will grow louder & noisier as the demos draw nearer.

The social media campaign against the demos are multi-pronged:

#SriAurobindo exposed #Gandhi as more a Russian Christian in his religious beliefs with leo Tolstoy being a major influence with Guj Jain tinge. He interpreted #Gita as ahimsa based on this and yet called it #Hindu. Wealth as 'sin' & to be spent 2 expiate it , is xian not hindu
Such laws to 'discipline n teach the hindoos' to spend wealth created by intelligence n work is a Christian spirit .

Trad vaishya indics lifted society "Arya Vaishya spirit"

POOR using #gandhi a Russian xian (as exposed by #SriAurobindo #Mother )
As model. @nsitharamanoffc

Those takes are really poor: Why is she unlikely to survive it? I know that journalists are normally not analysts or political scientists who do those kind of strategic takes for living under the scrutiny of nitpicking peers but a bit less intellectual laziness would be helpful.
Yes, it's extraordinary and yes, it will be humiliating giving that it's almost certain that Tories are set to lose a massive amount of seats and tank against Brexit party because large parts of their grassroots and supporters are nuts enough to embrace no deal.
But this doesn't mean anything in terms of her current position. They can't force her to go, if she doesn't want to resign they are stuck with her. Also, does anybody really believe she doesn't know how unpopular she is among grassroots and supporters?

One of the days I will never forget in my life. The day I was wrongfully accused of rape when I was in school. A terrible experience I don’t even like to remember at all.
@babarky2k , you remember Amara and Ogoo’s case that year? 😢😢
With no disrespect to women please. I think men should really learn to be very careful dealing with women. Fear women!
That’s why I laugh when I see a man comparing himself with a woman. These people are stronger than you and can totally destroy you if they want to. Be careful!

Note to editors: You may now refer to Rep. Steve King (R-IA) as an avowed white supremacist. Update your style manuals.
The phrase “white supremacist” without qualification remains accurate as well.
(For those saying King has been openly racist for a long time: Yes, I know. What I’m referring to here is his embrace of the term “white supremacist,” which I haven’t seen from him before. Thus “avowed.”)

Want to talk about ⛪ today but 1st we need to talk about White Supremacy in Portland b/c for me church is at its BEST when it’s a tool for resistance for marginalized folks (class, race, gender, orientation, etc).

So Portland was built for Whitey

Despite PDX being for folks who looked like me and being a segregated city (in a state that had exclusion laws built into its Constitution) there was a small pocket of the black community here that got pushed somewhere new every few decades

It’s important to note what integrated the Black/White was a need to get the war machines going and quick. Once the war is done those cheap houses in the floodplain 🙋‍♂️Oregon’s 2nd biggest city, only integrated one, is gone just like that
