For those who call #Deepawali
a cultural celebration,
this thread is a- step by step must follow:
1- Begin with preparing your Pooja Sthal for invoking Shri Ganesh, Mata Lakshmi, Vishnu ji, Kuber ji, Navgrah Devtas, Shodsh Matrika, Kul Devi Devta, Kalash/ Varun Devta,Deep Devta.
2- After Aachman, Pavitri karan & Sankalp, invoke all the Devi Devtas,

First of all do Poojan, Snan & Abhishek of #Ganesh ji .
3- After Ganesh ji, do Poojan & Abhishek of Lakshmi ji.
4- Poojan Abhishek of Vishnu ji (we have Shaligram ji), other Deities/ Siddha Yantras next.
5- Next do the Aarti, the 13th step of the Shodashopchaar Pooja.
#Deepawali is a #HinduFestival not a cultural event!
6- Lighting up your home & surroundings with Deepaks, flowers & dressing yourself up is also a Traditional Ritual to welcome the Devi Devtas &
not a ‘me vs you’ decoration or fancy dress competition! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
7- Agni Yantra, Baan vraksha, Chanra jyoti i.e; pyrotechnics/ fireworks come after Pooja & giving daan dakshina
#Crackers are a part of the tradition of Akaash Deep daan- lighting up Mandirs,river banks& neighbourhood to ward off darken caused by Sun’s transit into Libra.
8- Celebration with not just family & friends, but also with the underprivileged whom even #ShriRam respected as equals, with the animals who befriend us from eternity- remember Yudhisthir’s dog whose blessing helped him ascend to heaven in Indra’s chariot? twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
.. families of our staff, the dhol walas.. all look forward every year to #Deepawali celebrations- the Pooja, gifts & lighting up crackers at our place.. share & be blessed. #ShubhDeepawali 🙏🏻 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#SharadPurnima - #KartikPurnima the month long #Hindufestivals based on historical events in different Yugs, occur on particular Ritus & astronomical conditions as per Hindu calender.
How many Christ- Muz follow the rituals from this thread if you call #Diwali cultural?
How many left liberals chris- muz fast on #RamaEkadashi if #Deepawali is not a #HinduFestival & ‘just a cultural festival of lights of secular India’?
Do Chis-Muz, pseudo left libs surrender themselves at #ShriKrishna ‘s feet on #NarakChaturdashi #GovardhanPooja ?

Call #Diwali ‘cultural’ only if you follow #Hindu Pooja Rituals❗️
Oh yes, & don’t give us gyan on ecology & environment because it is the #Hindu Shastra - #HinduFestivals that first gave the concept of ‘co existence & importance of Nature’ to the entire world❗️
What is #GovardhanPooja - a regressive ritual⁉️

Deena Kaur, daughter of Gurcharan Singh was abducted, converted & forcefully married to a muzlim in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa yesterday!😡

Whose responsibility are the Hindu Sikhs who were held in Pakistan as hostage population, post 1947?
#HindusOfPakistan
Ashok Kumar Bajaj, caretaker of a Dayaram Darbar Sahib dharmshala along with residents, were attacked by muzlims in Rohri, #Sindh .

Pakistan is a live hell for Hindu Sikhs
& the only Land of Hindus in the world, fails to call Herself #HinduRashtra
What do we need to #WakeUp ?
How different is the situation of Hindus at the hands of muzlims in India?

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

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..

“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

#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

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
