I've never met anyone in all my life who have brought jewelry from all these fancy degenerate overpriced outlets like tanishq. We want gold, we go to the many traditional jewelry shops in Avenue Road, Chikpet etc who are pious Hindus & treat women customers like Maha Lakshmi.
The generation of yesteryear also had a sentimental value attached to a particular jeweller. They always got gold or silver articles, especially Mangalasutra made from the same jeweller. This is a trait particular to Hindus only. These upscale anti-Hindu jewelry outlets killed it
Gold is not just another metal. It is the personification of Maha Lakshmi. Varahamihira in the Brihatsamhita says :
खजनविभवजीवितक्षयं जनयति वज़मनिष्टलक्षणम् ।
अयानिविषमयारिनाशनं शुभपभोगकरं च भूभृताम् ॥
Translation : A jewel with inauspicious characteristics causes the ruin of the wearer's kith, kin, wealth & life. Whereas a good one destroys the enemies &
danger from thunderbolt and poison.
Buy your jewelry from traditional Hindu jewellers who have been in this trade for centuries. Only they are empowered by the Shastras to trade in jewels.
It shouldn't take some puke worthy ad to boycott tanishq. They must be boycotted for being anti-Shastras & thereby anti-Hindu

Mathura has time & again been praised to the hilt in our Puranas. One of the most important descriptions of Mathura & its Teerthas comes from the Varaha Purana.
It comes from the mouth of Lord Varaha swamy himself, as he describes the greatness of Mathura to Goddess Bhudevi.
Varahaswamy accords Mathura the same auspicious status that of Prayaga, Kashi & Pushkara.
Varaha foresees his birth in Mathura as Krishna for reestablishing Dharma in the Dwapara yuga. Yamuna too is praised here.
Aurel Stein, the british archaeologist who excavated sites around (K)hotan once remarked he could have easily mistaken these sites for those in Punjab & Haryana, the very heart of Vedic civilization. Such was the influence of Bharat over the Xinjiang area. Completely Indianized.
Khotan was once ruled by Indianized kings who gave themselves titles similar to the ones of classical Bharat. An inscription found at Khotan refers to Vijita Simha, ruler of Khotan who gave himself the title of Maha Rajatiraja Deva. Prakrit was widely used in Khotan.
Kuqa, a town on the northern edge of the taklamakan desert, around 700 kms north of Khotan used to be ruled by kings whose names were heavily Sanskritized. Suvarnapushapa, Haripushpa, Haradeva were some of the kings who ruled this area. This place is over 1000 kms away from Leh
Description of the Rama Janmabhoomi from the Ayodhya Mahatmya in the Vaishnavakhanda of the Skandapurana.
Sage Agastya describes to sage Vasishtha the exact location of the birth place of Shri Rama in Ayodhya.
This was part of evidence submitted & accepted by the court.
Agastya muni describes the benefits reaped by having a darshana of Lord Rama at his birth place on a Navami. He says it is a sure way to attain Moksha & the punya accrued from going on a teertha to the Rama Janmabhoomi is equivalent of doing 1000's of Gau-dhana.
The Janmabhoomi teertha is praised & extolled to the hilt by sage Agastya as he further describes the benefits to be reaped by having a Darshana there. From the description one can imagine the significance of this spot for Hindus for millenias.
Bharat & its divisions (both geographical & people) has time & again been described in great detail in various Hindu scriptures in detail, in particular the Puranas. They make particular emphasis on the Chaturvarna. Vishnu Purana defines the boundaries of Bharat.
The Vayu Purana too makes the same reference. It defines Bharat as the home of the Chaturvarnas. It also makes reference to the Ashrama system (Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, Sannyasa)
And so does the Markandeya Purana. It clearly says only people belonging to Chaturvarna can call Bharat their home. The outsiders to the west & east are referred to as Yavanas & Kiratas respectively.
Each of the Puranas make particular emphasis on this point.
One of the most exhaustive accounts of the description of Bharatavarsha & Jambudwipa comes from the Markandeya purnam. Markandeya describes to sage Kraustuki the geographical features including mountain, river & forest systems of Bharat.
To the question posed by sage Kraustuki on the size of the earth, its continents, oceans, mountains & rivers of Bharat, Markandeya answers. He says the earth is 50 times 10 million yojanas in every direction. Markandeya also lists 7 continents including Jambudweepa.
Markandeya lists the 7 continents (dweepa) in increasing order of their size starting with Jambudweepa followed by Plaksa, Salmala, Kusa, Krauncha, Saka & finally the Pushkara dvipa, the biggest of all.
He says all these 7 continents are surrounded by salt water ocean.
Atheist hypocrites quickly run out of facts & precedent when faced with the truth. It invariably always ends with them drawing false parallels between their ex-abrahamic cult & Hindus; branding us cruel, violent, bigoted, fascist or whatever other label they want to slap on us.
None of these hypocrites are actually interested in hearing the Hindu viewpoint. Simply because it would take a lot of hardwork & scholarship to even comprehend our philosophy. Instead they chose the lazy & easy way out of drawing false parallels. Their mind is already made up.
Problem with atheists & wannabe charvaka charlatans is that these hypocrites are largely unencumbered by burdensome hangups like history, facts and logic. Especially history. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that NOT everyones historical experience is the same.
