Those who have not engaged in dharmic practices over significant time in systematic padhyati, and contemplated, tend to think that rules of upasana were randomly created as some power-play by one varna. Even today they judge based on social justice + other new western -isms. 1/n
They r unable to comprehend that there could be some occult (beyond rational) cause for many of the niyama-s. That is how transmission of vidya-s happen btw. That is why even most heterodox (non-vaidika) tantra says feed brahmins or kaulas so that mantra shakti activates. 2/n
These west inspired social-justice type Hs who assimilated western notions and -ism believe it is their duty to rectify, (de)form, and modify working systems, and bring things into some banal model of their liking. They r fundamentally non-believers unknown to themselves. 3/n
Experiments have been done in some orgs since the British era to set things up per their equality-agendas. But in less than 100 years these orgs have proved hollow bereft of any genuine Shakti. Compare them to a traditional mutts now. Guess which one will survive eventually.. 4/n

Yo comprehension challenged moron, 3 days is total Sri Ramakrishna practiced Islam (his sufi stuff) in 50 years of his life, and never again, as I mentioned right in the first tweet itself.

Meanwhile, here is Swamiji on Islam:

1/n
"Now, the Muslims are the crudest in this respect, and the most sectarian. Their watch-word is: there is one God (Allah), and Mohammed is His Prophet. Everything beyond that not only is bad but must be destroyed forthwith,.. 2/n
at a moment’s notice, every man or woman who does not exactly believe in that must be killed; everything that does not belong to this worship must be immediately broken; every book that teaches anything else must be burnt... 3/n

Unless TMC/left/lib hallucinating woke Mulla loving specimens with the IQ of a dodo, I read the original Kathamrita by M which has this episode and many more.

Those photos have a diff history altogether. You really know very little as expected of the woke dodos.
The incorporation of Christmas pujo was done by Swami V because it co-incidentally happened to be the day when they took Sanyasa. Note how he never asked them to do any Islamic worship, and neither does Belur Mutt or any RK Mutt does any type of Islamic thing.
Swami Vivekanada was the first clear and strong critique of Islamic terrorism and Christian conversation, repeated many times in his speeches. His last interview before death he makes the bold claim every man who leaves H fold is not only a man less but an enemy more!

Respectfully speaking, this tweet is a classic case of ignorance among many many Hindus who have not studied the progression of samrapdaya-s critically. They have been taken in by reform bug without fixing the roots first. Hindus allow new sampradaya-s to come into existence,
Which needs two things a) solid body of scholarship. What do they do? interpret core unchangeable texts in new light which starts with the basic, why a new interpretation is needed, what lacks in the old. This will naturally result in polemical exchanges with old siddhantas.
b) a steady stream of upasaka-s who have attained highest levels in sadhana r regarded as saintly by all. They form basis of sustenance among masses, and they help to further new siddhanta.

These r the 2 foundations for any authentic new sampradaya. Panditya + Siddhi.

On v tired days I love watching this modern depiction of durga.. this is beautiful because there is a description the great battle which raged in three different kalpas. Mahisasura had an amsa of Siva which is why he could defeat the gods in battle. He was a tremendous upasaka..
because one cannot fight the gods with physical strength alone. Once during his sadhana the asura lord had a dream where he saw himself being killed a woman of immense power. Unnerved he started sadhana of the deity and finally in the form of bhadrakali She appeared before him.
This bhadrakali stood on a lion, had 16 arms, was infinite as skies, of immeasurable power, total absolution. Mahisasura bows down in reverence, and says. fate cannot be changed, death at Her hands is destined for him, but may he become immortal by receiving offerings of yaga-s.

The anugraha of Shiva comes, as per Trika, in 9 forms of Shaktipata or descent of Shakti (of Shiva) to create various depths of spiritual realization. The first of the shaktipata called tivra-tivra is so intense that the soul immediately leaves his physical body 1/n
enters into a state of oneness with Shiva, becomes a supreme master, who guides others directly by his invisible action in their hearts, they need no physical body to operate. These are effectively shivalike. In scheme of 36 tattwa-s they have gone beyond sadasiva tattwa. 2/n
The next level of shaktipata is tivra-madhyama where soul is filled with rudrashakti but does not leave his body, his guru is no human but Shiva himself. Signs that manifest due to this Shaktipata r spontaneous mantra siddhi in ALL mantra-s, control of panchamahabhuta-s etc. 3/n

Small thread on how tantra looked at vedas from a historical perspective since many people send DMs like "how can it be" types.

1. Earliest non-siddhantika saiva tantra started moving away frm vedic injunctions. Their texts, they believed, r latter + higher revelation than veda.
2. From this stream eventually came out the more exotic shakta tantra-s, as faster route. It incorporated both segments from mantramarga and atimarga systems, was tremendously heterodox.

3. It the orthopraxy it was impossible 2 remain both vedic and shakta tantric at same time.
4. Hence dictums like antah-shakta bahih-shaiva sabhayam vaishnava mata nana rupahdhara kaula vicaranti mahitale (inside a shakta, outside a saiva, vaisnava in society, the kaula thus roams in many garbs).
