#Thread on #MahaShivaratri

The five faces of #Mahadev -

🔸️ Sadyojata - the newly born consciousness

🔸️Vamdev - preserves consciousness

🔸️Aghora - The power of dissolution of the terrifying things within us. Representing the dropping of our ego.

👇🏽
🔸️Tatpurush - the power of obscuration, represents the transition period from extreme darkness to complete light within us.

🔸️Ishaan - the power of revealment, representing moksha or the oneness.

👇🏽
On Mahashivratri, dances are performed for time immemorial, which are termed as cosmic dance

5 key dance forms of Natraja

🔸️ Srishti - Creation

🔸️Samhara - Destruction of the self/ego. "There's no being, only becoming"

👇🏽
🔸️Sthithi - Maintainence/Protection
To accept that change is normal & maintain the state of a selfless being.

🔸️Tirobhava - Concealment
Maya, illusion and the veil of ignorance can pull one away from Sthithi.

🔸️ Anugraha - Liberation/Moksha.

What's the significance of #Mahashivratri ?

It's the wedding of material & spiritual.

👇🏽
What's so special about the night?

On this night, the northern hemisphere of the planet is positioned in such a way that there is a natural upsurge of energy in a human being & nature is pushing one towards spiritual peak.

👇🏽
The gravitational pull of the Moon is maximum on the new Moon and full moon day, resulting in the rise of full body fluid in an upward direction towards the brain.

And it is a proven fact that when the brain receives good amount of oxygenated blood, it performs exceedingly well.
The Dancing Shiva represents the changes in the universe around us, as matter and energy constantly bump into each other, create and destroy systems and keep renewing the world. This cosmic dance is the interaction of matter and antimatter.

Thread: The Miraculous Journey of Sri Krishna from Dwarka to Balakrishna of Udupi 🕉️🌊

Ever heard how Sri Krishna of Dwarka ended up in Udupi?

This tale weaves longing, devotion, and miracles—brace yourself for goosebumps! Image
In her twilight years, Devaki Mata yearned to witness Krishna’s childhood leelas. He left Gokula young and returned only to depart again—her heart ached for even one glimpse. Image
Moved by his mother’s longing, Krishna transformed into Bala Roopa—with churn stick and rope in hand—to fulfill her soul’s wish.

Rukmini watched this divine play and vowed to worship that child form daily. Krishna then summoned Vishwakarma to carve him from Saligrama stone. Image

He's relevant as many children encounter and study his stories in school, making it crucial for us to be informed. Image

Munshi Premchand learned Urdu from a Maulvi & was swayed by Qazaki’s Persian tales. Did these Muslim influences shape his stories? 🤔 Image

Thread on "Lost Temples"

A Secular twist behind Atala Devi Mosque!

Today Atala Devi is not just erased from the stone but erased from our memories.

A Devi of fate, silenced by conquest!

This isn't just a loss but a grave injustice.Image
The temple was built by Raja Vijaychandra of Kannauj, a ruler from the Gahadavala Dynasty, around 1155 CE.

He was the father of Jayachandra, who is historically known as the father-in-law of Prithviraj Chauhan.

It was during his period that the Muslims became stronger & Gahadavala dynasty began to decline.Image
Jaunpur was named after Jauna Khan, the cousin of Muhammad bin Tughluq.

A Real & Interesting Story of Nargis & Nehru Family! Don't miss the role of Maulana Abul!

Nargis's grandmother Dilipa was a distant relation of Mangal Pandey. Dilipa became a widow at the age of 13. She stumbled upon a man called Sheikh Miajan & they lived as husband and wife. Image
Image
Later, paths of Dilipa and Motilal Nehru crossed, and it was confirmed that they were neighbors in Allahabad.

Motilal didn't have a happy marriage with Swaroop Rani.

Dilipa gave birth to Jaddanbai. Jaddanbai always tied rakhi to Jawahar (son of Swaroop Rani). Image
Image
Probably Motilal was the father of Jaddanbai, who later became a great singer.

Mohanchand, a Mohiyal Brahmin fell for Jaddanbai. Mohanbabu's horoscope predicted his 1st half life being very diff from 2nd half. As an interpretation, he spent his 2nd half of the life as Muslim. Image

A deep dive into the Islamic culture, their religious justification of the acts of Terrorism, War & horrendous Violence via the Case Study of 1971 War!

1. According to Pakistanis, they had lost the 1971 War but won the women of Bangladesh. Image
2. Rapes of 0.4 million women during the war was a proper Genocide.

The aim was to make the women non - marriageable. Illegitimate children were born, mass abortions leads to chaos. It also brings down the moral courage of men for not protecting their women.

(Sex Jihad today?) Image
Image
3. Rape was used as a weapon, sport & a punishment.

There were sex slave camps being setup. Women were deliberately raped in front of their resp husbands or fathers or brothers. This would break the men psychologically during the war. Image

"Some bigots have converted Holi celebrations into source of fear for minorities" : Mehbooba Mufti

Have Hindus ever created fear in the minorities in Bharat?

Let's do a "Fact Check thread" and dig the history together. Image
In 1665, Aurangzeb banned Holi. Not only that it was observed that Mahomedans resorted to pranks during Holi.

Were these pranks molestation of women? Or were they Riots? Image
Image
1714 Holi Riots in Ahmadabad:

The rioters looted the shops of Hindus and set them on fire. They retaliated by slaughtering cows. Image
