Evangelical vultures & their zeal to convert Hindus has remained the same for centuries. Here is a vulture Friar John of italy who was sent to India & China to convert natives in the 1290's. He spent around 13 months in India & boasts he baptized around 100 people here.
Early missions to India were a complete & utter failure. Each of these missionaries in their travel account lament how difficult it was to convert Hindus. Chief reason being how attached the Hindu was to his own customs & traditions.
Chiefly murthi puja & reverence for Gaumata.
At the very core of contemporary Hindu religion is Murthi puja & reverence for Gaumata.
You wanna finish off Hinduism as we know it? Strike at these two. Which is exactly what is happening. Never allow to be shamed. Especially on anything related to Gaumata.
Building more Temples & honouring our Gaumata is धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः

Sulaiman al-Tajir, the Persian merchant who traveled to both India & China sometime in the year 850 CE made some interesting observations on both countries.
He starts by saying India is twice the size of China, but not as densely populated. (1)
He says the chinese had no religious science of their own. Each of their philosophies was borrowed from India. The chinese held Indians as their teachers. (2)
On differences between how houses were built. Chinese mostly used wood. Indians built houses made of stones, plaster & bricks. (3)
Marco Polo, who traveled through the Pandyan kingdom in the 1290's describes people's hygiene habits.
1) Bath twice a day. 2) Always eat with right hand. 3) Never drink from other people's vessels. 4) Never allowed lips to make contact with vessel while drinking.
People of Pandya kingdom worshipped the Ox & would not harm it on any account.
People of Pandya kingdom majorly abstained from consuming alcohol. And those who did drink didn't enjoy high regards of the society.
True. An example of this is Hoysala king Veera Ballala. When his capital Dwarasamudra was besieged by barbarian malik kafur, he was willing to trade anything in return for the safety of his people. Everything except his Yajnopavita. He chose to remain a Hindu & fight another day
Veera Ballala who chose to fight another day spent much of his later years uniting the Hindu forces of Southern Bharat to expel turushkas. He'd reorganize his forces at Tiruvannamalai in TN. His sacrifices laid the foundation of the Vijayanagara empire. Ferishta's account.
Ballala's main objective was to rid Madurai of its cruel turushka ruler ghis-ud-din. Ballala fought a very brave war. He had successfully managed to push them further south before a cruel twist of fate that would see him being captured & murdered in the most ghastly manner.
Duties of a ruler laid down by one of the greatest rulers of of Bharat, Shri Krishnadevaraya. All this is recorded in the Amuktamalyada.
A king ceases to be one the day he loses command over his people.
There is a reason why Shri Krishnadevaraya NEVER lost a single battle that he fought & commanded the immense respect of his own people. It is because he surrounded himself with some of the wisest men like Timmarasu Ayyamarasu & Kondamarasu, who were his ministers. Not sycophants.
People living in skyscraper flats must take additional care. Avoid elevators, use stairs. Avoid touching railings. Don't go to the common area unnecessarily. Always double mask up. Use a face shield. Keep pocket sanitizers. Always wash your face on returning, bathe if possible.
Make a mental note of each & every action you are performing while you are out. Am afraid given the situation, this is the only way to avoid getting infected. Yet there is no guarantee. But that shouldn't deter you from taking extreme caution. This is especially true for flats.
Avoid ATMs if possible. If inevitable carry sanitizer spray. Spray the buttons before use. Sanitize the card after use. Spend as little time as possible inside the kiosk. Keep the ATM door open.Heard too many getting infected at ATMs. Double mask + face shield to be on safer side
