Last year, same day! ☺️🙏

#EngineersDay
Me : Why is it called #EngineersDay today?

@RahulGandhi : Because it is the birthday of ...

Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagundam Vishweshwarayya is probably the only Indian in whose honour there are four different special postage covers and stamps. I could be wrong. I don't know of any other Indian with this honour. ☺️🙏 Image
We have had thousands, (or is it lakhs, by now? 🤔) of engineers. But nobody's contribution to the nation's development comes close to that of Mokshagundam Vishweshwarayya's. 🙏

What happened to today's engineers? Working as slaves in foreign companies for a few $ extra! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Image

Remembering the great Carnatic classical stalwart Padma Bhushan awardee Vid.Dr. Sripada Pinakapani Garu (1913-2013) on his birth anniversary today.

🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩 Image
“Paani Garu” as he was fondly addressed by his contemporaries, disciples and fans, was a qualified medical doctor by profession!

He gave up his successful medical practice to pursue his first love- classical music!

☺️🙏🏼☺️🙏🏼☺️
Re-reading about his selfless Bhakti is so inspiring!

Eyes just brim with tears! 🙏😭

So much to learn from his life!

His grandson Gollapudi Subbarao garu writes.

L.E.G.E.N.D!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wrestler, Trader, Ayurvedacharya, Bone-setter, staunch Vaishnava, Mysore Samsthana Raja Vaidya and finally a legendary brand in his own lifetime!

The iconic “Ustad” Kayangadi Papanna!

🤩🙏🏼🤩🙏🏼🤩 Image
Wondering if i should put a thread! 🙆🏻‍♂️🤔
Papanna’s ancestors migrated from Andhra to the Mysore Kingdom about four generations before him. They belonged to the Telugu Balija community. Many members of that community migrated to the Karnataka region including the saint Kaiwaram Amara Nareyana Swamy.

It began with great hope and promise. It was hijacked by the obvious suspects in the LeLi academia. Quality of content plummeted to Paatala!

Now, no serious scholars of Sanskrit or other languages consider MCL books of any worth. It will die a slow death like the Clay series.💁🏻‍♂️

Remember what happened to Westland Books?!

After all that drama, Amazon shut it! 🙆🏻‍♂️😂

This will meet with the same fate!
For how long do you think Indians should depend on translations (cunning distortions) of their ancient books by westerners?!

You can fool some people all the time and all the people for some time. Your Karma will catch up!

Good attempt to remember the great poet saint composer Sri Sridhara Venkatesha Ayyaval.

However this thread has a lot of factual errors that have been spread with hearsay rumours. Will try to correct those.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
For that we have to go to the great Maratha rulers of Thanjavur region. Especially the versatile King Sahaji (1684-1710). He was not only a benevolent ruler but a man of arts. He was well-versed in literature and composed musical operas in Telugu, Marathi and Sanskrit. Image
Sahaji was a great patron of artistes, scholars and Pundits. In 1693, he donated a village Tiruvisanallur to 46 families of learned Pundits. The village was renamed Sahajirajapuram. Great scholars of Sanskrit, Veda, Shastra and other allied traditional knowledges lived there.

So, this young (and restless) couple keeps on posting their every other image on SM. Them eating, walking, cooking, cleaning etc. They had twin kids.

Pictures kept coming! Everyone found it cute and all that. Hundreds of comments. They were encouraged to post more.
Few of us told them not to overdo things. They argued and fought. From one week total silence. Rather unusual for the SM addicted couple, I thought. Just checked with a common friend to see if everything was alright. I thought they were travelling or something.
The friend tells me their twin kids suddenly developed a strange fever one evening and it became so serious they had to be rushed to a local hospital. One of them didn’t survive. Other one is in coma.

Feeling terrible for them. They didn’t listen to anyone!

Drishti is real!
