While the Tamil community is sailing in the sea of #PonniyinSelvan movie success, Udayarkudi temple with actual inscriptions on the killing of #Adityakarikalan is in a terrible condition. Half of it is gone due to cementing.
We are the only ppl who destroy their own heritage
The video is from @jaybaradwajs who is there today.

Inscriptions under Dakshinamurthy and Durga completely gone due to addition of brick & cement. It has to be pulled out.
An extremely important temple in history of Chola because it talks of the assassination of chola prince
The temple is badly maintained by HRCE.

An expert panel on preservation has to be set up by law that prevents both HRCE & non HRCE temples from ruining inscriptions and structures without their approval & guidance.

Unbelievable how we make a mess of our own heritage.

Long thread alert on #Ayureda based on my experience.
I am not someone who discusses health issues with even extended family, let alone public. But I've decided to share it here to vindicate our traditional medicine 's powerful healing process.
In the 1st week of May this yr, i had developed upper back pain near my neck, upto hands down till finger tips. I had assumed it as being sore muscles due to workouts & summer heat. but it was persistent, i started feeling dizzy & a sense of losing balance came in.
It was there almost daily,not excruciating but typically would tingle when i picked up weight/sat long hrs.I also felt uncomfortable driving.That's when i decided to go to @bharathnarendra who immediately asked me to take a cervical MRI. As he expected, the report read disc bulge

Sir, can KPs arm themselves and shoot whenever they are under threat ? If the govt of India allows it, your statement will make some sense.
Let average Hindus living in vulnerable area be allowed to use arms.
All twitter keyboard warriors agreeing with col saab , sitting in cosy and safe residential Hindu majority areas in the cities or in the US/EU ask KPs to stay put against armed terrorist and fight them with a stick.
Those who ask if KMs really ask for govt permission to attack, don't act naive. You and I and everyone else knows how the police & law enforcement will come down heavily on only H. KPs got thrashed yesterday by the police for a mere protest.

Hindu temples serving food to thousands devotees in a systematic way. No PR, no ego. Just seva in a humble way.
Hindu devotees not just come and eat, but also contribute. The beautiful ecosystem.
