In real life the average person does not interact with a lot of people at the same time. Those one interacts with closely are either relatives or friends who usually have gone through a period of real-life acclimatization. Of course, there are love and friendships at first sight
(the old H would think you are seeing someone you already knew in a past birth).There are lots of subtle cues -- appearance, body language, odors etc -- that play a role in the formation of linkages. These are absent on SM like this. People usually come to know each other through
their writings -- which they may find resonant or irksome. However, it gives an illusion of being close -- like seeing actors repeatedly in a TV serial and developing some sense of connection to them. Thus, many interact as though they would with real life friends. But many of
these connections will probably never work out in real life. Moreover, not everyone can handle the bandwidth of communication that occurs on SM or give a communication proper attention when there is a high volume of them.
Taken together, one should be wary of concluding that people might be on your pakṣa without more study.

The death of the CDS definitely seems puzzling. If it was an accident it is surprising for lesser nations ensure better transport safety for their leadership. If it was a deliberate foreign attack then it speaks for v.poor military intelligence, which is again surprising at this
level. That leaves out activation of a deeply lodged internal agent, aka a Herpes zoster like ``sleeper cell''. However, there might have been indications of some threat that the national leadership was aware of. They may have even misread it. The reason to consider this is the
craven retreat of the Lāṭapati in the confrontation with the sora-backed tool-kitties. One way to look at it is they had some intelligence of a bigger attack and decide to tactically retreat on that front as the resources might be needed for the bigger one. Now coming to the

It appears that the H pakSha did not do its homework when it came to the pseudo-heathens -- navyonmatta poseurs. There are several things our tradition has taught which are good thumb rules 1. Charity is to be directed at the deserving not merely everyone who appears needy.
2. Like wise viShNusharman has taught us, do not befriend strangers right away. Observe for a long time & see how they shake out on issues that relate to your interests before reaching out. 3. Do not encourage people lacking in sattva who seek disruption of societal norms. 4. See
is some one gets the spirit of the shAstra rather than merely mouthing it like the 4 foolish v1s of viShNusharman -- they could be mere veShadhAraka-s not sAdhaka-s. Above all remember that true friendship is v.unlikely between those whose basic politics don't align.

A recent post on the TL brought to mind a curious phenomenon that seems to be one of the factors that draw people into certain bābāisms: the production of apports. This caught my attention early on because I noticed that several votaries claimed to have received bābāistic apports
I have heard of three unrelated bābājī-s (one of them more of a low-profile vaiṣṇava ``magician'') producing apports. Shortly thereafter I first saw one such apport, I saw demo by a vaṅgīya magician Sarkar on TV where he produced an apport explicitly as a magic trick. When I
pointed this to the votary and he gradually de-bābāized. I subsequently had the occasion to watch Sarkar live on stage producing various apports as part of his magic show. For at least one public bābājī the introduction of video cameras allowed the capture of the whole palming

Indeed there has been varying degrees of H influence on neo-West African iconogaphy. For e.g. here is a depiction of the West African deity Densu influenced by the tricephalic iconography of dattAtreya. The dog sacrifice for him might also be influenced @agnimaan @GhorAngirasa Image
by the canid companions of the said deity. In the African syncretism he seen as a consort of the watery goddess Mami Wata depicted below. The image on the right from Nigeria shows the H influence in the form of a tilaka ImageImage
Here is a related goddess from Sierra Leone with the tricephalic iconography transferred to her from dattAtreya & therocephalic convergence. This what your friendly Abes and their fellow travelers are seeking to erase. Image

Any non-H, professing to be a heathen, who aligns with any of any of the ekarAkShasonnmAda-s or their secular mutations should be seen as an enemy, much as the unmatta-s themselves. No 2 ways about this.
As I have always held, H organizations should study navyonmAda closely before putting out a helping hand to any non-H claiming to be a heathen, especially from the Anglosphere. There is good chance they are not heathens but navyonmatta-s masquerading as such.
A characteristic feature of navyonmAda, like many of the earlier counterreligions, is to fish around among those in the social fringes to use as cannon fodder for their ultimate aim of social demolition. In the Occident this might include various kinds of people who are

I came across some rather interesting work by a certain zoologist Müller from Basel who did meticulous experiments with homing in dogs that to my knowledge have never been repeated. He made several interesting observations: 1. Based on their behavior he classified the dogs into
3 ranks that in principle might have corresponded to their place in the ancestral wolf-pack state. Dominant curs αs; middle ranked βs and low-ranked submissive ωs. He found that only αs and high βs were able to home successfully.This is keeping with earlier observations with army
dogs that only some of them home. It suggests that keeping home range is important for αs. ωs tended to find street dog companions if available or human dwellings. 2. He found that the homers went through an initial phase of orientation at the unknown release site. Once that was
