Sishya - My Guru says X
Skeptic - Well, on what basis?
Si - On the basis of his own experience
Sk - What exactly is his experience?
Si - Those like you who have only bookish knowledge will not understand. To prove myself, here is an incident from book Y
Sk - Well, that is not /1
how the story goes. Here is the reference from the book itself + reference from a derivative text (commentary, subsequent text etc)
Si - That's why people of bookish knowledge will not understand. You rely on books. My Guru can give a scientific explanation /2
based on Quantum Physics, Relativity and Darwin
Sk - Well, let's see this scientific explanation
Si - Quantum Reality Morphed Transition Vortex
Sk - Errmm, which scientific theory/principle/book is that from?
Si - Advanced beings like my Guru know more than mere scientists /3
Sk - Then your Guru must make himself clear in terms that an ordinary Nobel Prize winner would understand as to what 'Quantum Reality Morphed Transition Vortex' is.
Si - Not required, it is the same as Tryambaka Stotram
Sk - Which Veda/Shakha/Purana is that based on? /4
Si - The Vedas are but derivative of the Supreme Being who is addressed in the Tryambaka Stotram.
Sk - Well, please recite the Stotram and explain it to me.
Si - Om Namah Shivaya
Sk - That is the Ashtakshari. What is the meaning?
Si - Quantum Reality Morphed Transition Vortex /5
Sk - This is circular reasoning
Si - The Universe is a circle.
Sk - I give up.
Si - You bookish people are so arrogant. You will know the power of my Guru. He does A to help the environment, B to help the poor people
Sk - How does that make whatever he says right? /6
Si - People like you are the reason why Hindus convert. My Guru has declared that there is temples, the Devas, Agama, Vedas are all not Hindu.
Sk - Yes, now I understand how your Guru stops conversions. If none of these Hindu, there is no Hinduism, there are no Hindus and /7
no one really converts.
Si - You are an obstacle to Hindu Unity. You are casteist, patriarchal bigot.
Sk - Guilty as charged. /END

On DMK stages in the 50s, Rajaji was said to have used his daughter to make his political life, since his daughter was married to Gandhi's son. ஆச்சாரியார் கட்டியும் கொடுப்பார் ..... were the words on stage. The world is now seeing the depths of political discourse.
There are 1,85,84,153 rice cards in TN. Rs 1000 to each card holder = Rs 1858 crores/month or 22,300 crores pa. TN budget expense for last year was roughly Rs 3 lakh crores. This bloats the expense by 7% and doubles the revenue deficit tncsc.tn.gov.in/html/pds.htm
We can foresee another year of slow tax receipts, so one can foresee debt over hang to increase from 5 lakh crores by another 10% in the next 3 years just due to this single entitlement. To compare, the entire pensions budget of TN is Rs 30,000 crores annually.
Fine print: This will not be distributed through DBT bank transfers. It will be disbursed as cash at the ration shop upon production of the ration card and biometric verification. Local partymen act as gatekeepers and take a 10% cut. Already, a revenue stream of Rs 180 crore pm
After nearly a 100 years of management by the Govt, PTR accepts that 11000 temples are going without even one puja a day. He is asking Jaggi Vasudev to spend his money on ensuring puja is done. As an example, he says his family spent their money on getting the kumbhabhishekam /1
done.
Note: He offers no explanation on why 4.75 lakh acres of temple lands are not being managed to generate sufficient revenue. Simple question back - Why did Mr Thiagarajan's family have to foot the bill for kumbhabhishekam when Vadapalani Murugan temple has urban assets /2
in commercially attractive parts of Chennai at its disposal?
The State is unable to manage these assets and only asks private parties to put in their money to redress the loss of revenue. What logic is this?
Every muhurtham day, you will find scores of young people /3
Why's the Dravidian media singing hosannas to Smt Sasikala? They think she will do a JJ and consolidate the AMMK-AIADMK splinters. Then it will be back to the days of a dual-party oligarchy with 2 revolving doors.
Sorry, mitron, this is not 1990. Mu Ka was then a sprightly 66 /1
with an energetic 37 yr old Stalin by his side. JJ was 42, with a whole career in politics ahead of her. VKS is a sickly woman with years in prison behind her and a lonely widowhood stretching ahead. Her courtiers are not JJ's courtiers. MKS is aging with a heir apparent who's /2
a teenager stuck in a 40-yr-old man's body. The courtiers are fat, slow and too rich. Where are the subaltern up-and-coming leaders? Where are the idealists? There is too much cynicism. The Dravidian dream is beginning to fray. MBCs want nothing more than to Sanskritize /3
@Dharmi2020 Very, very important reason.
In British rule, the dubashes, zamindars and moneylenders made large amounts of money and enjoyed high status.
In dyarchy, popular vote meant they had to give up some of that to middle class professionals. Many of the middle-class professionals who
@Dharmi2020 became the new elite were lawyers, judges, bureaucrats. Tam Brahms had volumes in bureaucracy + had captured high positions + led Independence movement in Madras Presidency.
Convergence of interests of dubash-zamindar-moneylender with British.
@Dharmi2020 From The Politics of South India 1920-1937 by Christopher John Baker - in 1890s this dubash-zamindar-moneylender clique was challenged by this new Mylapore Set.

The Dharumai, Tiruvavaduthurai and Madurai Adheenams can have only Saiva Vellalar mathadhipatis and administrators.
Who managed temple committees and enjoyed the power and status?
Temple committees and the politics surrounding them
