Is it merely a co-incidence that everything around #KedarnathTemple swept away in devastating flood yet the 8th century main structure of holy shrine is still standing tall?
I penned down this piece 7yrs ago almost same time & the thoughts cant be more relevant than today.
1/n
Jun13. Cloud busted & hills around were falling apart, concrete structure knocked down like castle of cards, a boulder, tons in weight & meters in height,hurtling down almost everything, not just halt but also created a natural shield to protect temple from furious Mandakini? 2/n
#SushantSinghRajput's #Kedarnath briefed this part in climax. No less than a sci-fi, was it quantum physics or water mechanics.. or some unknown power wiped up all encroachment of human greed but kept the Holy Dham doors open seeking just a 'renovation'?
Shiva, is that you?

But why would he do such harm to thousands of innocent lives? He himself is 'bholey' (innocent)! Then was it a due course of maintaining equilibrium?
Many questions to ask but never too late to answer. No wonder that the processes are executed by means of science..
4/n
but the motive is bringing the essence of parity & 'balancing it out' & this is what exactly #LordShiva does. Keep playing around the Mother Nature. She has patience, immense, until the 'best' of human creation turns into worst for her.
5/n
And then The Shiva’s university has to step in. It analyze the amount of damage & decide the fate like a algorithm of AI program. An ignorant mind can only misapprehend that Shiva enjoy playing around lives by such destruction but yes, his process takes some toll.
6/n
He is merciful enough to begin with peace offers. If unheard, he issues warnings, several .. in-fact. He waits indefinitely & gives enough time to step back. Once left with no option and in order to protect the larger good, he has to take extreme step.
7/n
Yes, he is DESTROYER, but for the emerging EVIL. He demolishes over-creations, before it’s too late. His job is not to spread the nectar of positive energies but to absorb the venom of negative ones. Who else can do this except The Great Lord '#Neelkanth'?
8/n
Once he is done, he gracefully handover things to his peer #LordVishu, who in turn activates his program & i.e. Renovation. This is how these two great institution works in a precise co-ordination. Some locals claims that Kedarnath ji turns into how it exactly..
9/n
used to be like 50 years ago. Co-incidence? No.
Survived structure of Kedarnath ji & divine Shivling are symbol of Shiva’s existence, it’s not just co-incidence that a boulder, which is 'preserved' by devotees & govt. that time as 'Bhimshila', protected the ancient temple.
10/n
Dear Human, again, the signals are coming like never before. Pause, before its too late. Respect #MotherNature. Don't be cruel to meek animals. Stop disrespecting Gods & most importantly, treat eachother better. Its not just another human body you are answerable for..
11/n
but someone much beyond in stature is around; watching. Don't try his patience, he is kind, innocent, give opportunity to step back but he never miss to do what he & his institution are supposed to do, for larger good.

While writing this piece, I must credit Shri Amish Tripathi @authoramish for authoring #ShivaTrilogy. Like me, there are millions who are deeply influenced & took the devotion for Shiva to a new & realistic level.🙏🙏
Rushikonda Hill Palace is 14x more expensive, + a destroyed hill, yet neither BJP nor Congress or any environmentalists top the guns against Jagan Reddy!
Why?
1/
The features of the palace are crazy.
- 200 chandeliers @₹15L each
- cosy interior ₹33cr
- imported furniture, spa, jacuzzis
- commodes @ ₹15L each
- landscaping of exotic imported plants & grass
- advanced sound system, humongous home theatre
- multi-hued illumination 2/
The place originally was tourism deptt run resorts with 58 rooms. Reddy converted this lavish 44acre land into residence-cum-camp-office with just 12 rooms and rest are conf halls and chambers.
PM Modi's pursuit of a third term was fraught with challenges, particularly due to well-organized foreign interference. While we are familiar with the 'ecosystem', significant new dimensions and actors have emerged, overlapping to the political dynamics of the United States.

There was a massive surge in the anti-Modi , anti-govt narrative during Apr-May'24, just before/during GE. These activities were carried out in two separate (but complementary) formats:
(a) organising events, lectures, semi/webinars by certain West orgs or NGOs and then amplified by associated entities, online & social media space;
2/
(b) publishing critical write-ups OpEd in prominent international publications in a regular manner. Just to feel the amplitude, 175+ articles were published by The Guardian, Washington Post, Bloomberg, NYT, France 24,etc., during April-May 2024)
An attempt was made to influence Indian Election (mis)using AI model by generating fake anti-BJP and Pro-Congress opinions on social media.
OpenAI (famous for ChatGPT) busted 5 such covert operators who were exploiting their AI model.
Don't miss this thread!
1/
Let me explain it in easy words. AI models allows users to generate comments based on a certain input. One can easily programme it do this is mass level.
But what if an operator misuse it to generate fake opinions & deploy humans or bots to influence on the social media?
2/
OpenAI busted such 5 operators, whereas 2 were related to Russia, 1 for China, 1 for Iran, and 1 for Gaza conflict and Indian election.
Not a secret anymore that the big pharma lobby is upset of India's vaccine strategy that led to big $$bn loss to them. Since then many attempts have been made to discredit India's efforts.
The latest one is a "research" by Dr Chakrabarti, amplified by ET journo Teena Thacker. 1/
Pfizer (bully guy) & the pharma lobby tried to halt & malign India's efforts by health ministry & ICMR to go ahead with Covishield & Bharat Bio Tech Covaxin.
We are a lucrative market where a few "perks" traditionally translate into huge business. But that didn't happen.
2/
On 14-May, Dr Sankha Shubhra Chakrabarti (SSC) published a report about adverse events in Covaxin. This report was immediately (or as planned?) picked-up by ET journo Teena Thacker. This sampling was conducted on telephone survey with 1024 individuals, led by Dr SSC+11 team. 3/
₹ 35,30,346 Cr (35 lakh crore): The commutative amount has been transferred directly to the valid beneficiary account (DBT).
Had it been the Congress era, 85% i.e. ₹30 lakh crore would have vanished to corrupt mediators.
1/
₹30L Cr is an estimated loss based on former PM Rajiv Gandhi's infamous quote. In other words, this is ~60% of India's today's budget. Imagine the level of corruption, that even the PM confessed, unofficial commission, fake ID beneficiaries, duplicities & other means.
2/
Though DBT was initiated in 2013 (parting MMS govt), it was systematically expanded by the Modi govt.
For the success of DBT, first & foremost need is a bank a/c. Govt launched the massive PM Jan Dhan Yojana, under which 52cr a/c were opened (56% women & 67% in rural/suburb) 3/
