#mahabharata
When Bhagwan Krishna returned home after the battle of Mahabharata, his wife Rukmani confronted him “How could you be party to the killing of Guru Drona and Bheeshma, who were such righteous people and had a lifetime of righteousness behind them.”
Initially Bhagwan Krishna avoided her questions but when she did not relent, he replied “No doubt they had a lifetime of rightousness behind them but they both had committed one single sin that destroyed all their lifetime of righteousness”
Rukmani asked “And what was that sin?”
Then Krishna replied “They were both present in the court when a lady (Draupadi) was being disrobed and being elders they had the authority to stop it but they did not. This single crime is enough to destroy all righteousness of this world”
Rukmani asked “But what about Karna? He was known for his charity. No one went empty handed from his doorstep. Why did you have him killed?”
Krishna said “No doubt Karna was known for his charity. He never said ‘No’ to anyone who asked him for anything. But when Abhimanyu fell after successfully fighting an army of the greatest warriors and he lay dying, he asked for water from Karna who stood nearby.
There was a puddle of clean water where Karna stood but not wanting to annoy his friend Duryodhan, Karna did not give water to a dying man. In doing so his charity of a lifetime was destroyed.
Later in battle, it was the same puddle of water in which the wheel of his chariot got stuck and he was killed.”
Understand that your one act of injustice can destroy your whole life of honesty.
This story is great example of Karma Theory in Path To Prosperity.

Paavai Genre: Paavai songs are part of an ancient tradition amongst unmarried young girls, where they would light lamps in the early mornings of Margazhi and sing songs in praise of Bhagawan Shiva or Bhagawan Krishna (or may be both).
Eponym - When something is named after a person or a place or a company, we call that name an eponym. A short but interesting thread. For instance, did you know that the word sideburns is an eponym?
1. Named after Ambrose Burnside. Let's look at some examples. He was an American railroad executive, soldier, industrialist, and politician whose distinctive facial hair inspired the word sideburns.
2. Alois Alzheimer is credited with identifying "presenile dementia," which was later named Alzheimer’s disease after him. 3. Boycott is derived from an English land agent named Captain Charles C. Boycott who treated Irish badly and so was ostracized or “boycotted” by the them.
Listen to this person talking as what is UP, especially Gorakhpur before and after @myogiadityanath . His clarity is clear. Bonus the passion, the Hindi that he speaks. Video originally shared by @yoginisd . In 3 parts.
A WA forward on what #YogiAdityanath has done for UP:
Last 5 years of UP:
Expressways started in 2008 when Mayawati started constructing Yamuna Expressway connecting Noida to Agra - It was her dream project of 166 KM. That’s UP for you 👏👏
then came Akhilesh Yadav who started Lucknow Metro and did 90% work on Agra - Lucknow expressway connecting Yamuna Expressway to Lucknow of 302 KM.
Was away from Twitter as I was traveling for the past 3 weeks traveling and touching many parts of India. Every flight is full and hotels are functioning almost back to normalcy. A wonderful thing to see. A short thread on my experience. #flights@IndiGo6E
#vaccinationcertificate: When one flies into Guwahati, one has to show the Vaccination Certificate. Flying to Bangalore from Maharashtra, one has to have #RT_PCR test report. Thanks to GoI, this test now costs Rs. 600/- and in many places, it is free as well.
Flying into Mumbai from Bangalore, only #VaccinationCertificate is required. Flying into Hyderabad from Mumbai / Hyderabad also requires #VaccinationCertificate. Flying into Pune from Hyd
In the last few years, we have heard on and off of people lost, some close and personal and some celebrities who were in their 40s and died because of doing too much to be "fit".
Unfortunately while they did look fit, six packs and all, the body was not really able to keep up on the inside with the rigor of the exercise regimen.
Sadly y'day Puneeth Rajkumar also gets added to this list. A good person gone too soon, gone too young!
In anything in life, MODERATION is the mantra. Any extreme of zero or 100 is not correct. A moderate amount of exercise, just about 20-30 minutes, eating while keeping nourishment in mind.
