Is the #MVA government in Maharashtra replaying #IndiraGandhi’s Emergency? Where are self-appointed guardians of #FoE in this #ArnabGoswami episode, which goes above & beyond ideological/political differences with a fellow journalist? No media ‘guilds’/Associations/Unions today?
The ‘LeftLib’ brotherhood, which spawns itself in media outlets abroad is quick to comment on the @BJP4India central govt + @PMOIndia. How much longer will they ignore worse attacks on #FoE by provincial governments run by @INCIndia & their allies?
@WSJ @nytimes @FinancialTimes
Despite over a decade of vile abuse, which also stooped to cheap & personal, against @narendramodi from some sections of media, has he or the @BJP4India done anything remotely comparable? Shame on @INCIndia.
The #MVA and the @INCIndia are desperate. Persistent harassment of a self-made journalist despite dislike/dispute/disagreement with him, is unacceptable. Armed police at home to arrest him betrays their insecurity; their silence establishes complicity. #ArnabGoswami #RepublicTV
Does the President @INCIndia #SoniaGandhi approve of this? Is she happy to carry the #Emergency baggage? Does the President-in-line @RahulGandhi think this is the new governance model he supports? Having armed policemen harassing the children of those they have a problem with?

1. Autumnal nine days recall the glory of Devi - Sharad Navaratri. Beautiful verses such as Devi Mahatmyam/Lalita Sahasranamam/Chandi Paath describe Devi’s qualities. These are recited.

Navavarna Kritis in Sanskrit are dedications by Muthuswami Dikshitar sung Carnatic style.
2. These magnificent pieces offer a glimpse of the Tantric mode of extolling Devi. Elaborate tantric rituals are simplified into emotive yet spiritually rich songs. Kritis (songs) are structured as Dhyana(1) Kirtana (9) & Mangala (1). Each is set to an evolved raga.
3. Todi,Ananda Bhairavi, Kalyani, Sankharabharanam, Kambodi, Bhairavi, Punnagavarali, Sahana, Ghanta, Ahiri & Sri. In the Navavarna, Devi = Kamala as kritis are dedicated to Kamalamba in a temple in Tiruvarur(TN) built (?)9th CE.Shall try to explain pallavi & anupallavi each day.

Just one virus has shaken up the world, the entire world is struggling to save lives, says @PMOIndia @narendramodi
India has to become #selfreliant. This pandemic has provided an opportunity for us to make the 21st century an Indian century , says @PMOIndia @narendramodi
Human centred globalisation is being discussed. Vasudaiva Kutumbakam is the spirit. In our culture, we treat the earth as the mother. So when we speak of #selfreliance we talk of well being for all, says @PMOIndia @narendramodi

Shri @RahulGandhi MP (LS) and Shri @rssurjewala spokesperson of @INCIndia have attempted to mislead people in a brazen manner. Typical to @INCIndia, they resort to sensationalising facts by taking them out of context. In the following tweets wish to respond to the issues raised.
Today’s attempt of @INCIndia leaders is to mislead on wilful defaulters, bad loans & write-offs. Between 2009-10 & 2013-14, Scheduled Commercial Banks had written off Rs.145226.00 crores. Wished Shri.@RahulGandhi consulted Dr. Manmohan Singh on what this writing-off was about.
Provisions are made for NPAs as per the four-year provisioning cycle laid down by the @RBI. Upon full provisioning being done banks write-off the fully provided NPA but continue to pursue recovery against the borrower. No loan is waived off.

On Vijaya Dashami, a few tweets on Lalita Sahasranamam (LS) the 1000 names of Lalita. LS is a Chapter in the Brahmanda Purana (3rd Cent BCE) compiled by Vyasa. It is in a dialogue format, between Hayagriva and Agastya. The names were uttered by Rishi Vagdevis such as Vaśi.

1/8
Each of the 1000 names is a description of a woman Goddess, Shakti. They extol the qualities, describe the beauty, attribute cosmic/grandiose features — and thereby perceive Her as mundane and spiritual, equally. All this about “the Woman”, “Shakti”, at least 2500 years ago.

2/8
Will present 2 verses in the following tweets — Verse 44 for the alliteration, and for the qualities attributed; Verse 48 for the sheer imagination contained in it. Following that, 5 names with beautiful meanings that should carry a lot of spiritual heft than what I’ve shown

Thank you ⁦@PMOIndia⁩ ⁦@narendramodi⁩ for laying out, in detail, your vision for the Indian economy. “ I consider entrepreneurs as India’s ‘Growth Ambassadors’.” economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-…
“...past 5 yrs, India witnessed the highest average growth rate with lowest average inflation... we were able to bring crores of poor families out of (destitution)...economic growth...means wealth creation for the nation...not...more money into state exchequer...”@narendramodi
“...vision for the next five years is to have investment-led growth. We are targeting `100 lakh crore...investment in 5 years...further liberalising our FDI policy...the government will work with an open mind in consultation with all stakeholders.”@narendramodi
