Swami-ji in a sitting at a disciple’s home was reciting Kaviraj Bhushan’s famous composition with fervour:

“Just like agni destroys the forest trees, and
The leopard hunts deer
2/n
As a Lion kills an elephant, and
The Sun destroys Darkness
As Krṣñna slayed the evil Kaṁsa
So does the lion Śivaji destroy the mlećchas”

Najund Rao (famous doctor of Chennai) who had limited knowledge on Maharaj Shivaji was surprised and expressed it to Swami-ji.
4/n

Vivekananda replied to him “The fact that you are unaware of the greatest Indian king is indeed shameful. Maharaj Shivaji was verily an avatāra of God and the protector of Hindu dharma."
5/5

Scribbled few lines on a day tinged with sadness...

I grew up in interesting times.
Days of Kishoreda. And Lata tai.
Romance flowed in melodies.
Lyrics filled empty spaces.
Life seemed a karaoke in loop. 1/n
Pensive? Down? Heart-broken?
There’s a melody to soothe every heart.
Elated? Exuberant? Ecstatic?
Enough numbers to croon or blurt.
…
Rebel? Devout? Or Docile?
A melody’s there each time.
Patriot or nationalist?
Lilting numbers came to roost
Surreptiously as in a heist. 2/n
No heady remix.
Or electronic notes.
Just stalwarts breathing life
Into songs as if their own children.
…
Life wasn’t a beat missed.
Or a cadence shorn.
Simply mellifluous and melting,
On a trip down nostalgia
To days long passed. 3/n

Chandragupta Maurya’s Liberation of North Western Bharat – Punjab and Sindh from Yavana occupation : a #thread
Three and a quarter centuries BCE. Punjab and Sindh to NW of Bharat had been overrun by the Yavanas. 1/n
When most Bharata janapadas looked the other way, a Brahmana acharya from Takshashila observed how a foreign conqueror drained the country of its wealth (apavdhayati) and squeezed out as much as possible by exaction and taxation (karshayati). 2/n
Finding the perfect foil to carry out his mission to liberate Bharat from alien domination in a young boy, he took him under his wings educating him in arts, sciences and warfare in Takshashila. The young boy then set out to carefully mobilize military resources 3/n

@MumukshuSavitri When I 1st read it few months bank, had dispensed it as some fake news. Later did some search for primary sources and these were my findings: a link mentioning Raju Mukherjee's book which I have since read cover to cover but couldn't find. 1/n Image
@MumukshuSavitri The 2nd source mentioned in Udbodhan Patrika April 2004 edition. Knew they have e-archive. So subscribed to 2004 edition and finally got it : the full article mentioning Swamiji's exploits. Udbodhan btw was started by SV himself so only authentic pieces will get published ! 2/n ImageImage
@MumukshuSavitri What's special about the piece in Bengali is it's form of storytelling, making it more tangible and palpable ! Interestingly many web media who published it got some facts wrong like it wasn't Hemchandra Ghosh (1884-1980) but Hemendranath Basu who was SV's bowling mentor ! 3/3

We often hear people saying x, y, z person has found his / her "calling". So what does it refer from a Management perspective ? Explaining here with the help of some seminal research in this area. 1/n
As per Harzer and Ruch (2012) a work can be called a "calling" based on people's frequency of use of signature strengths at work.
Signature strengths are those character strengths that are most essential to who we are. 2/n
Character strengths refer to a desire, a disposition to act or a feeling that involves the exercise of judgment that leads to a recognizable human excellence or human flourishing. 3/n

@swamy64 My personal take : huge fallout for the customer since now (s)he is being wantonly milked by retailer owner/operators viz.,
1. consider layout of stores : all visually alluring and conspicuous consumption stuff are often stacked at entry. 1/n
@swamy64 like chocolates, sweets, cold drinks, squash etc
2. Packaged products always available in large denominations : 0.5,1,2,5,10 kg and so on. There's no place for customers often who may do with meagre quantities -0.1, 0.125, 0.25 kg etc. 2/n
@swamy64 Ploy to make one buy more through strategically engineered supply constraints
3. Discounts are provided through huge economies of scale purchases which is then passed off in paltry fractions to buyers to keep them happy. 3/n
