"Oh, what will happen with a missed call?" ask some people.
Simple - you register your vote of support for a particular cause. Whoever you are supporting can then democratically put pressure on the ruling government to take a specific action.
Many political parties have used this missed call mechanism to garner support for a cause and even some TV channels have used it.
"What happened with the RFR missed calls?"
Many points from the rally for rivers policy documentation have been taken into account when the national water policy was updated. This became possible because of public support through several means including missed calls.
"Will temples be freed with a missed call?" mock some people.
With a missed call, you may not get a cup of coffee from your mom. But as explained earlier, you can register your support for the cause. That is why that the #FreeTNTemples campaign is aiming for with missed calls.
"Govt of TN that had taken over the Nanganallur Anjaneyar Temple, today announced that they will return the temple management to the trustees. The Free TN Temples is already beginning to show early wins. (1/n)
This is a step in the right direction as devotees must manage temples and govt must stay out of it."
Why is this news a cause for celebration and what is the #FreeTNTemples effort?
There has been systematic exploitation & destruction of Tamilnadu’s temples for a while now.(2/n)
In many cases, the primary culprit is the HR&CE dept — Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments — which ironically is supposed to be taking care of the temples.
So, a few years back, some people started taking steps to free up Tamilnadu temples from the control of HR&CE. (3/n)
So, Kalaignar TV put forth absolute BS about Sadhguru's posting regarding temples with a supposed 'expert' who is good at speaking lies left, right and centre.
This post will throw some light on these lies and expose the people who are spreading them.
Thirumavelan is the guy chosen for spreading this propaganda by KTV.
#1: He starts by saying that saints should not do campaigns.
I do not know why he remained silent when open campaigns were done for DMK in churches and mosques. Perhaps because it suited their agenda?
#2: Thirumavelan goes on to try & re-emphasize the same old lie about Isha occupying forest lands.
Though he chose to not mention it, rebuttals have long been given along with the survey numbers also to show that they have not touched any forest land.
This thing started after today's Pongal Satsang at Isha Yoga Center.
As is the wont, more vermins started spreading this garbage around.
What basically happened is Sadhguru was talking about how to choose who to vote for and was speaking about the right for education to all.
Sadhguru suggested that instead of Government trying to run schools & not maintaining them properly, they can let schools be run by top educationalists and instead sponsor the fees required for underprivileged students.
Anyone who has seen a Govt school in TN knows the truth.
Even Nammazhwar ayya has prasied Isha's Agro Movement and Project Green Hands for their marvellous work. Check out more about natural farming at Isha's youtube channel .. youtube.com/channel/UCtYfG…
We have over 800,000 #suicide deaths annually all over the globe. Not many had paid attention to this silent disaster happening amongst us.
But one particular actor, Mr #SushantSinghRajput, took his life and it has become the talk of the town in India since 14th June 2020.
Rajput's suicide was supposed to be because he was under #depression for a while now. This has thrown the much-needed limelight on #MentalHealth and how people are constantly under stress, etc.
At least popular personalities committing #suicide is getting some attention.
Such awareness is good.
But even at such challenging times, some people are trying to make political / ideological gains out of tragedies like this.
These people have started taking statements made by people out of their contexts and twisting them for their own vested agendas.
#Sadhguru has most of India's self-proclaimed #liberals with their underwear twisted when he said he is far more #leftist than most. Recently Mr TM #Krishna launched into a media rant protesting this but with zero factual basis. (1/n)
Social Upliftment - Check
Individual Empowerment - Check
Promoting Gender & Social Equality - Check
Providing Free Education & Healthcare - Check
Erasing Social Inequalities - Check
If all these does not qualify Sadhguru as a leftist, I do not know what will! (2/n)
Here is my post on why I consider India's spiritual gurus as the true #leftists and why TM Krishna is completely wrong.
Unlike Mr TM Krishna, I am presenting only logical arguments without resorting to name calling or abuse. (3/n)
