Most folks have no idea how corporate media works. Most of us, atleast oldtimers joined this platform to take on the soldout mainstream media back in the day. Purpose was to render MSM obsolete. Today dying MSM is using us to resurrect itself. They need us more than we need them
Playing one corporate media house against another might seem like good strategy. But at the end of the day viewership rating is all the matters. With that come revenue etc. Issues hardly matter. What is relevant today will be junked tomorrow for something else juicier.
Media is a fraternity, just like the cinema industry. While there is cut throat competition for viewership & ad revenue, the very same ones who appear to be siding with your ideology will miss no opportunity to junk you once patrons change. They are all fundamentally anti-Hindu.
For 10 long years this fraud too peddled the "Hindu Terror" bogey on his shows. The idea of SM was to render corporate media useless. So I find it disgusting when I see people support this chameleon. He hasn't apologized for any of his anti-Hindu tirades.
A thread on my book recommendation for Hindus. Many of you might already be familiar with some of these books...but sharing it anyway for the benefit of those who are not. These books will give you ideological clarity & also enrich ur knowledge on many aspects of our Hindu Dharma
I'll list it by author's name in alphabetical order
AS Altekar 1) Education in Ancient India 2) State and government in Ancient India
David Frawley 1) How I became a Hindu 2) Hinduism & the clash of civilizations 3) The myth of aryan invasion of India 4) Gods, sages & kings 5) Arise Arjuna
I will sympathize with Arnab on the day he apologizes to Ayyappa swamy bhaktas & does prayaschitta at Sabarimalai. His slandering of the deity & bhaktas cannot be forgotten.
I will sympathize with Arnab on the day he apologizes to Kanchi Shankara Matha & does prayaschitta at Kanchi. His slandering of Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati & Hindus in general cannot be forgotten.
I will sympathize with Arnab on the day he apologizes to Bhaktas of Shaneshwara & does prayaschitta at Shingnapur Shani Temple, on whom he led a vicious slander campaign from his erstwhile times now studios. His attack on Shani bhaktas cannot be forgotten
"Goddess (Kalaratri) is a representation of the sakti
as a destructive power. She has a single braid of hair and her ears are ornamented with red shoe flowers(Hibiscus) in addition
to the kundalas... Contd... (2)
"This goddess is sans clothing & has donkey as her vahana. Her body is smeared with oil and her left
foot wears a kind of anklet made of iron spikes. Kalaratri is rightly of a terrific appearance" ~ TA Gopinath Rao, author of elements of Hindu Iconography. (3)
On the glory of the Maratha empire & its heros, Savarkar in his book titled "Hindutva" writes..
"Because we(Hindus) had won we thought it had been an easy matter. If it had been the case of Mohamedans, volumes
of histories would have been written about it... Contd.. (1)
"Amongst
the Mohammedans even the smallest matter is extolled
by them to the skies. While amongst us Hindus we are
inclined not even to refer to our exploits however
magnificent they may be...contd..(2)
"Indeed results difficult to
achieve have been achieved. The Mohammedans think
and say that the accursed Hindus have established
their supremacy!"
Lesson for contemporary Hindus to draw from the above quote. Always project strength. ALWAYS. Never let despondency take over.
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 ॥
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.
