#Thread मणिकर्णिका के घाट पर खेली जाती है चिता के राख से होली। शिव अर्थात शव, शिव अर्थात मृत्यु, शिव अर्थात मोक्ष, शिव अर्थात जीवन का अंतिम सत्य। शिव की नगरी काशी जिसे बनारस भी कहते हैं। यहाँ पर स्थित हैं देश का सबसे बड़ा व प्रसिद्ध श्मशान घाट जो हैं मणिकर्णिका घाट।

ऐसा घाट जहाँ पर हर समय, हर पल किसी ना किसी की चिता जलती ही रहती हैं। जहाँ मृत्यु के पश्चात शरीर को पंचतत्वों में मिलाने के उद्देश्य से दाह संस्कार किया जाता है। देश की सर्वाधिक चिताएं इसी घाट पर जलाई जाती हैं।

इसी घाट पर इन चिताओं की राख से चिता भस्म होली खेलने का विधान हैं। इसी के साथ बनारस के ही कुछ अन्य श्मशान घाटों पर भी चिता-भस्म होली खेली जाती हैं।

Every citizen of the country must think about these question:

When there was no secular word in Babasaheb's constitution, Why did Indira Gandhi added the word secular in the basic spirit of the constitution…??

Was India more secular between 1950 and 1976, or between 1976 and now?

Why can’t India be a Hindu nation where anyone can live with equality for all citizens…??

#ChandrasekharAzad #Thread
“O old woman, don't come here, your son was a thief-dacoit, so the Goras killed him, the Bhil standing there laughingly said to an old woman wrapped in a dirty dhoti who was collecting wood in the forest.”

No, Chandu has sacrificed his life for freedom, said the old woman proudly. The name of that elderly woman was Jagrani Devi. This mother lovingly called that son Chandu and the world freed him”. Yes, we all know him by the name of Chandrashekhar Azad.

After father's death, Azad's poor destitute old mother instead of reaching out to anyone, used to collect wood and cow-dung from the forests and kept feeding herself by selling sticks and wood. Shameful thing is that his condition continued till 2 yrs (1949) after independence.
