ok.. now I am feeling guilty.. I am spending too much time on twitter this evening. But irresistible tweet-bait by bear mama.

Aim is to have large farms. It was the case earlier when a zamindar used to own thousands of acres and decide strategic decisions on cultivations.
After land reform, these large plots were broken down (we call it kooL-kaaydaa in Marathi - the family who tilled the fraction of larger plot owned by zamindar inherited that plot).

Result - creation of small fraction. In 2 generations we have micro plots 1-2 acre. Game over.
After some struggle, the grandkids of that original tiller get frustrated and sell their plot to some wealthy fellow. The wealthy fellow starts consolidating the land into bigger plot (100-500 acres) and starts smart farming.

Great grandkids again become employees in that farm
Micro agriculture (1-10 acre) is waste of time (or a fun hobby if one is not dependent on it for making a living).

It is cycle. Happening again. At least in Konkan & western MH, land consolidation is happening again.

Earlier, it was sword or grant by king. Now it is capitalism

As per dharma, there is no scope for divorce, AFAIK.

A woman comes under the protection of the kuladévatā of husband. Gets the gotra of husband

Even if (due to myriad of legit reasons), there is a separation, the saptapadi cannot be dhārmikally undone.

Legally - yes
The new family (post vivāha) is the rightful family. The (ritualistic) allegiance of the married woman is now to the kulāchāra, pitaras of new family. Doesn’t mean severance of emotional attachment to parental dévatā, pitaras and family - speaking about ritualistic position here.
After saptapadi, the new couple “ought to” propitiate paternal pitaras (first) - pitaras (of wife’s parent lineage) are propitiated after husband’s father-GF-GGF’s tarpaNa - many times it is optional.

I wonder how he got married? Was it by Vaidik vidhi @vivekagnihotri ?

Do you remember the ritual where bride puts varamaalaa in neck of groom? Bride puts it first. That is Girl "choosing" the groom (i.e. swayamvara).

After varamaala (choosing) - there comes kanyaadaan.
In kanyadaana, father donates this wealth (that is kanyaa) to groom.

PS - Wealth is NOT SAME AS Commodity!! We do PraaNadaana, Jeevandaana, Raktadaana, Vidyadaana, Abhayadaana, Chumbanadaana (donation of kiss). None of these things are "commodities".
If Kanyaa is commodity (cheez as that bollywoodiya girl says), then so is blood, knowledge, kiss, life.. So perspective please.

After kanyaadaana, there is laajahoma (brother helps/defends the groom from three devatas who are protecting a girl since her birth).

अर्जुनविषादयोग सोप्या मराठीत. 😀
- ज.के.उपाध्ये sent to me by @spayan25

पार्थ म्हणे गा ॠषिकेशी
या युध्दाची ऐशीतैशी
बेहत्तर आहे मेलो उपाशी
पण लढणार नाही.

धोंड्यात जावो ही लढाई
आपल्या ' बा 'च्याने होणार नाही
समोर सारे बेटे जावयी
बाप, दादे,काके
काखे झोळी हाती भोपळा
भीक मागून खाईन आपला
पण हा वाह्यातपणा कोठला?
आपसात लठ्ठालठ्ठी

यांना नाही उद्योग
जमले सारे साळभोग
लेकांनो होऊनीया रोग
तडफडा कुठेतरी

लढाई का असे सोपी?
मारे चालते कापाकापी
कित्येक शत्रुंची संतापी
मुंडकीही छाटती
मग बायका बोंबलती घरी
डोई बोडती नरनारी
चाल कृष्णा माघारी
सोड पिच्छा युध्दाचा

कृष्ण म्हणे रे अर्जुना
हा कोठला बायलेपणा?
पहिल्याने टणाटणा
उडत होतास लढाया...

तू बेट्या कसा ढिला..
पूर्वीपासून जाणतो तुला
परी तुझ्या बापाला
सोडत नाही बच्चमजी

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.

Grahas merely give us the fruits of our own Purva karma

मनां त्वाचि रे पूर्वसंचीत केले
तया सारखे भोगणे प्राप्त झाले

So onus of enjoying/suffering fruits of our own karma phala is on us

These fruits of our own karma are like waves/currents/winds on the ocean. And we are a ships
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).

Doesn’t matter to a Motor boat. 😊
