Did you know, #Hampi is the #Kishkindha of #Ramayana ?
In search of Sita ji #ShriRam & Lakshman ji reached Kishkindha.
This is the place where they stayed during the Chaturmas after Bali vadh, here is where #Hanuman ji met them in Brahmin roop.
This is the place of KishkindhaKand
#Shriram शरणम ममः
प्रभु इच्छा से ही उनकी सेवा मिलती है, @sharan_shivani और मुझे, राम चरित मानस जी के 14 वर्षों से निरंतर चल रहे अखंड पाठ के श्रवण का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ 🙏🏻
Its Malyavanta Hills where HE stayed, so Krishnadevaraya built Raghunath Mandir here. #जय_श्रीराम
The huge Mandir Prangan has a Dvar mandap, large pillared Mandap, pillared hall, huge courtyard, 2 Gopuras, Garbhgrah with #ShriRam Lakshman,Sita #Hanuman ji’s Moortis carved out of one rock. ImageImageImageImage
Behind the Raghunath Mandir on a gigantic rock cave is Shiv Mandir,
in front of it flows water in a cleft made by Lakshma by shooting an arrow to get water for Rudrabhishek, on either side on the rock are are carved, Nandi & Shiv Lings. #Hampi #Vijaynagar
From Malyavanta hill top is visible, a 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding monuments, mountains, paddy fields, coconut & banana plantations.
One could literally visualise the grandeur of #Vijaynagar kingdom
#incredibleindia that the brutes wounded, but still stands TALL
As you enter through the tower of the Raghunath Mandir as the road ends, is #Hanuman ji’s Mandir in a cave behind a massive boulder that almost covers the entrance.
Hanuman ji’s Aarti Darshan this evening, Saturday, June 18.
#Hampi
#ShriRam jharokha, where He would sit,is high up over the #Hanuman Mandir
Hear the devotedly innocent narrative of Pundit ji, “itna bada bada patthar, sab Hanuman ji laa ke rakh diye hain, nahi toh itna bada kaun utha sakta hai, jab pahad utha laaye..Bhagwan ji thoda aise banaye”
By Mahadeva’s blessings, I not only meet many Tapasvis where ever I go, I strike a rapport with them & my Brahmin clan gets bigger day by day. 🙏🏻
Here’s for you from Ram Jharokha, the topography, the monuments, the green fields, valley & planes, the magnificent #Hampi
Sandhya Aarti, Shri Raghunath ji ki, June 18, 2022.
#JaiShriRam 🙏🏻
#Krishna Mandir #Hampi
We have a long history of Tapasvis, Rajas, common Hindus reconstructing (जीर्णोद्धार) of Mandirs for uninterrupted ancient Hindu Pooja Rituals, why should we let @ASIGoI @IndiaatUNESCO @UNESCO interfere in our Dharmic matters now?

To the southern side of the Hemakuta hill on the banks of Tungabhadra Nadi, is the ancient Mula Virupaksh Shiva Mandir of Parvati Pati/ Pampa pati
Virup = furious, aksha = eyes.
#VirupakshMandir #Hampi
1/n
Virupaksh is Swayambhu.
Ravan in Tretayug asked Shiva to come with him to Lanka, Shiva gave him Shivling saying it shouldn’t be put on ground before reaching Lanka, Ravan en route put it down for a moment & couldn’t move it again.
Its here that Sita ji dropped her ornaments.

Rani Lokamahadevi re built the Mul #VirupakshMandir in 740
Chalukyan & Hoysala rajas built it into a huge one
Nayak Lakkan Dandesha under Prauda Deva Raya of #Vijayanagar added to it.
Krishnadevaraya restored & further decorated it.

But when will the name of the railway station ‘Hazrat Nizamuddin’ be changed??

Who was #Nizamuddin ?
A: Nizamuddin came to Delhi as a jihadi with a contingent of invaders in 1335, he asserted,“every #Sufi must be unquestionably obedient to the dictates of the ulema..
1/n
“What ulema seek to achieve through speech,we achieve by our behaviour” #Nizamuddin
“He emphasized, @lla created heaven for muzlims & hell for k@firs in order to repay the wicked ones for what they’ve done..he never missed a single sunnat”
-his associate, Jamal Qiwamuddin
2/n
#Nizamuddin confirmed on authority of izlamic jurist Imam Abu Hanfi, that hell is the only abode for k@firs, even if they agreed to be loyal to all@..
He sent his followers to sell Hindus taken as slaves to Ghazni where the profit was greater..”- Fawaid al Faud

As @DrRupani said,”single most important factor that matters is the doctor, not hospital”,
I’ll share my experience so it may help someone in a medical situation.

Nisheeth was admitted in Bombay Hospital Indore on 19th,12.30 pm
my daughter & myself reached next day 6.30 pm.

Since I was 19 hrs away,the constant struggle to learn about his condition bore no fruit.. my younger brother’s request to the cardiologist incharge, Dr.Idris Ahmed Khan to speak to me fell on deaf ears! I called other doctor friends to speak to him & find out but to no avail

On 20th morning during the investigations, when my brother was asked to deposit the said amount for angioplasty, on questioning how they could go ahead without his consent, he was shown the papers signed by my office boy (relation to the patient filled as nephew)! 3/n

Remember puffing on red-tipped Phantom Sweet Cigarettes as a child, to look cool?
With huge advertising, smoking was made a fashionably acceptable social behaviour, at work, in bars, cinemas
homes etc; imposing all activities being incomplete without a #Cigarette !
#nosmoking
Smoking #cigarette was legitimated, celebrated & glamourized on Hollywood screen through stars like Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney
Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper
Humphrey Bogart,Lauren Bacall Marlene Dietrich etc, ensuring that it’d never lose its sophisticated lofty significance
#Cigarette was ‘imposed’ across all social classes & women!
In 1925, #Marlboro was introduced as a woman’s cigarette, ‘Mild as May’
The poison was thus transported to the rest of the world!
By 17th cent, 🇮🇳, China,SE Asia
Middle East, WAfrica started growing #tobacco

Bhoora migrated few years ago from Pakistan, I can vouch for him, have been buying grocery for refugees from him & supporting him since 2018.
The police from Boranada thana has just arrived, I demand justice for Bhoora ( & all the Hindu refugees all over Rajasthan) who’ve been harassed by this community endlessly! @ashokgehlot51 @inderojeet
Please help @gssjodhpur ji
Please report @ashok_aajtak
Bhoora was coming to his shop in his van with goods from mandi & a patient, lady relative when a truck carrying goats banged into his van, Bhoora got off to speak to them & in minutes 300 odd muzlims from bakra mandi gathered & ransacked his house & shop injuring him & women.
