I Do sandhyā, Deva abhisheka, TarpaNa and Vaishvadeva daily.
If this is trad, I am trad.
But my political opinions on Savarkar and sangh and utilitarianism of Hindutva is well known.
Question is how much you stretch this logic and try to milk it to pull a rank.
If my trikāla sandhyā starts interfering with my judgment on political choices, I have lost the path.
Savarkar or Sangh is the “right” path in current time and space. Some other may have been right path for some other time and place.
Trikāla sandhyā is irrelevant here.
Trads on twitter think that since they do trikāla sandhyā, their opinions on politics too are to be taken seriously no matter how illogical or non-sensical they are.
That’s when they start becoming pain in the Musharraf.
It is not that they are always wrong (or always right). No one is. That is the point.
Breaking formation in midst of battle is the biggest cardinal sin one can commit.
If we do not hang together, We will all be hung separately.

If have no internal motor (of sādhanā / upāsanā/ kriyamāNa karma / efforts) in the ship, then the course of ship is decided by the cumulative vector sum of these waves and currents and winds.
Ships go where these factors take it along.
If, on the other hand, our ship is a motorboat (engine of our sādhanā / upāsanā), then one can chart one’s course as per one’s will (waves, currents and winds may oppose or support or be tangential to the journey).
Mango Swayamsevaks have their heads clear about who is Hindu
MB himself said it 11 years ago in Karnavati : He who responds to the call / name of Hindu is a Hindu. We don’t need rest. But rest will benefit if they acknowledge it.
This is the speech that every swayamsevaks must listen to for ideological clarity
And soldiers should allow generals for strategic manoeuvring. What is needed to convince foot soldiers - should be (and is) conveyed unambiguously (as in this series).
This is one of the most brilliant speeches by the leader of largest Hindu organisation.
This was in September 2009 - when bogeymen of Hindu terror was in full swing by Maino-2 Govt.
Many Hindus have ancestral murtis of devatas (kuladevata, kuladevi and others) which are currently in their homes with them and being daily worshipped (abhisheka etc)
My mother was covid positive. Both doses done. So infection was very mild. But 15 day quarantine in her bedroom.
Today her RTPCR came in negative. She came out of her bedroom for first time in 15 days. First thing she did was go and see the gods.
gods become such an integral part of family that it becomes difficult to do anything without them being around to witness it.
these murtis are with family for generations. They must have seen so many things happening in family. Many known, quite a few unknown
so many rejoices and heartbreaks. so many lies and truths. so many ups and downs. generations come and go. what remains constant are those murtis
Rane's life is, as Anil Thatte says, worth a novel.
He was part of (in)famous Haryaa-Naaryaa gunda duo of Chembur. The way he molded himself to serious and legitimate politics (under Bal Thackeray) is commendable. He channelized his anger, violence and aggression constructively.
One of the cases pending against him is stealing few chickens. :D That perpetually earned him a monicker of Kombdi-chor from Shivsainiks.
But he could have easily went down the path of Rajan, Pujari, Sada Paavle, Arun Gavli et al. He chose not to. Therein lies his good sense.
He built his base in Sindhudurga district. Became CM of Maharashtra. Rebelled against Bal Thackeray (actually he rebelled against imposition of Uddhav in organization - Sena would have been very different if Raj and Rane weren't forced to leave by Uddhav) and stayed relevant.
1. I guess while going Hanumānji was flying under the radar so to speak. I agree he did not swim. But he was flying very close to water (enough to splash waters on his chest and create eddie-currents in water - this happens when one is either in water or very close to it)
2. While returning, he flew even quicker but that return journey was a classic high altitude flight.
3. The animated Japanese movie - “legend of Prince rama” describes the flight of Hanumān ji most accurately. With trees uprooting due to sheer force of māruti’s flight. Majestic
4. Most importantly, Vālmiki Maharshi describes that age of Sail was already prevalent in India shipping scenario the. The huge shadow on ocean like a sail - indicates low altitude flight
I had made this note when I read VR. Each note can be a blog article and long thread here.
