Muslims and Christians in Kerala Temple festival committee: Have you heard of the popular Thirumandhamkunnu Bhagavathy temple in Malappuram district of Kerala?
#Communists #Kerala #temples #pooram #Malabar #keralamodel #secularism #sickularism #Hinduism #sanatani
1/21

The Pooram (temple festival) this year is to be held between April 11th- April 23rd, 2023. This is purportedly a list of the temple festival committee members. For those of you who can’t read Malayalam, let me list the names in the highlighted boxes.
#Communists #Kerala
2/21

1) Honorable MP Abdussamad Samadani (Indian Union Muslim League)
2) Ms. Rafeeqa (District Panchayat President)
3) Ms. Shaharban (District Panchayat Member)
4) Ms. Saeeda teacher
4) Mr. Abutahir
5) Mr. Manjalamkuzhi Ali MLA (Indian Union Muslim League)
6) Mr. Jose Varghese
3/21

Considering the facts that this temple is managed by the Communist state government-controlled Malabar Devaswom Board, the demography of this district and the influence of the IUML (Muslim league) in Malappuram, most Hindus in Kerala wouldn’t be surprised to see this list.
4/21

About the temple: Thirumandhamkunnu Bhagavthy temple is one of the most ancient and prominent of the "Mahakshethras" of Kerala. This shrine which is among the most powerful Bhadrakali temples is located at Angadippuram in Malappuram district.

Legend: After ruling his kingdom for several years, King Mandhatha of the Surya dynasty decided to give up worldly pleasures in pursuit of spirituality and started meditating on Lord Shiva. Pleased with his penance, Siva appeared and offered him a boon.
#Kerala #temples
6/21

The King asked Lord Shiva for a Shivalinga for him to worship until he left his body. Lord Siva granted his boon and gave him the most holy Shivalinga from Kailas which was too dear to Devi Parvathi and was worshipped by her. #keralamodel #secularism #sickularism #Hinduism
7/21

Carrying the Shivalinga on his head, King Mandhatha started his downward journey from Kailas and reached a hill which is known today as Thirumandhamkunnu. The king was drawn towards the beauty of the place which was surrounded by greenery and buzzing with birds and animals.
8/21

@AmitShah

The king decided to take rest before proceeding further and lowered the Shivalinga from his head and laid it on the ground. The Shivalinga quickly became affixed to the ground.

9/21

Meanwhile, Devi Parvathi turned up to worship the Shivalinga. On finding that the Linga was missing, she sent Bhadrakali and a host of Bhutas to retrieve the Shivalinga. Kali and the Ganas reached Thirumandhamkunnu. #HindusUnderAttack #Hinduism #keralamodel #sickularism
10/21

Due to the luminance of the Linga, they could not however proceed further and started throwing weapons in the direction of King Mandhatha from the foot of the hill.
#keralamodel #sickularism #KeralaNews #sanatani #Communism #freetemples #freekeralatemples
11/21

The ascetics accompanying King Mandhatha were unarmed and they started throwing "Attanga" nuts (walnuts) back which were available in abundance in the area. These nuts turned into arrows due to the ascetic powers of Mandhatha. It is said that this fight lasted for 15 days.
12/21

To commemorate this legendary fight between Mandhatha and Kali, there is still an age-old custom of “Attanga yeru” (throwing of walnuts) on the first day of the Malayalam month of Thulam.
13/21

Eventually Mahamaya (Goddess) took her Vishwaroopa and tried to seize the Linga forcefully. In the struggle that followed, the Linga got split into two and the Tri murtis – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva appeared along with Devi Parvathi.
14/21

Parvathi told Mandhatha that although the Linga is dear to her, she wouldn’t take it away from Mandhatha against the wishes of her husband, Lord Shiva. She said that she would enter the Linga and remain there forever. The Shivalinga here is still in a split condition.
15/21

Temple Rituals: The Siva Linga installed at 'Sreemoolasthanam' at Thirumandhamkunnu Temple has all divinities according to Vedamanthras. In addition, it has the presence of deva divinity, rishi divinity and human divinity. It is therefore supreme in all respects.
16/21

Having been first worshipped daily by SreeParvathy, subsequently by Rishi Mandhatha for a long time and then by two holy Deva like Brahmins, in accordance with the instructions of Rishi Mandhatha codified in a Grandha, the Linga has a Chaitanya (vibrance) like none other.
17/21

@AmitShah

It is believed that Parvathy, Parameswaran and Durga- the three divinities are ever present in this idol.

18/21

It is distressing that temples with powerful energy spaces are slipping away from Kerala Hindus. The role played by these energy spaces in withstanding invasions and other attacks on Hinduism can never be undermined.
#HindusUnderAttack #Hinduism #keralamodel #sickularism
19/21

Once these energy spaces disappear, disappearance of Hindu culture would only be a matter of time. We have many examples in our country and in our neighborhood to demonstrate this. It is true that Kerala is in the control of communists.
#Hinduism #HindusUnderAttack
20/21

@narendramodi

However, there is still a very strong Hindu community living in the state and this community looks up to the central government to do something urgently to free temples from state government control, and to give it back to the Hindus before it is too late.

Addition to the thread:
This is Thirumandhaamkunnu temple, Kerala painted as part of the temple festival. I wonder if it's the Waqf board that's handling the temple now 🤔
#Malabar #Kerala #savekeralatemples #freekeralatemples @narendramodi @AmitShah

Update:
After protests from devotees since yesterday, repainting happened today to change/remove the green paint. Temple festival chairman is still the Muslim league MLA Ali! All of this give one the impression that they are testing the waters! #kerala #KeralaNews #temples

Kerala Poet Mocks Sanatana, Gets Paid Back in 3 Days

Kureeppuzha Sreekumar is a prominent leftist poet from Kerala, known for ridiculing Sanatana Dharma.

5 days ago, he visited the iconic Indian Coffee House near the revered Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple.

He then shared the attached image on his social media page.

Here is the translation of his post:

"A restaurant without a photo of Ganapati. I love Indian Coffee House!"

(On the wall, a photo of a Communist leader is also visible)

The post immediately went viral, with many criticizing him for such a post. Many mockingly commended him for going all the way to Guruvayur and for having food from a restaurant located in front of the famous temple!

1/4

2 days later, the health authorities raided the restaurant and ordered its immediate closure

The reason: A customer discovered a dead centipede (locally known as 'Pazhuthara') in their Masala Dosa order (see image).

2/4

Although the customer initially complained to the hotel authorities, they did not take him seriously. This forced him to talk about this online.

Please see the video where he narrates the incident and shows the photo of the centipede on his mobile.

Supreme Court Dismisses Case Against Isha Foundation

Supreme Court today closed the Habeas Corpus petition filed against Isha Foundation by a father of two monks who had alleged that his daughters were being held “captive” at the yoga center.

Today, the Supreme Court clearly stated that, based on their interaction with the two monks, they were convinced that the monks were staying at the Isha Yoga Center of their own free will.

Key points from the interaction include:

Voluntary Residency: The monks are voluntarily residing in the ashram.

Freedom to Leave: They're free to move out of the ashram at any time.

Participation in External Events: One of the monks recently participated in a 10 km marathon.

Family Contact: The monks are in regular touch with their parents.

1/5

What the Court Said!

The Supreme Court made it clear that the two individuals in question had reached adulthood when they joined the yoga center, and having expressed their desire to stay at Isha Foundation voluntarily, no further action is required in the habeas corpus case.

Essentially, the top court said that since these individuals are adults and have chosen to stay at the foundation of their own free will, there's no need for the court to intervene.

Additionally, the Supreme Court criticized the High Court's comments on unrelated matters, stating that they should have refrained from making such remarks.

2/5

Dramatic Scenes Unfold

Dramatic scenes unfolded towards the end of the hearing as the father of the monks began arguing.

Chief Justice of India (CJI) emphatically stated that parents cannot file complaints to control the lives of children who have attained majority. Furthermore, the CJI asserted that the court cannot compel the monks to meet with their parents even though they are allowed to visit the ashram once a month

The Story of How Nehru Threw Away Kashmir….well most of it!

A couple of days ago, there was a heated discussion in one of my WhatsApp groups. The group comprises mainly of old friends, but most of us follow different political ideologies. The discussion was about Nehru and Sardar Patel. I commented that had Sardar Patel been our first PM, the whole of J&K would have been part of India.

This was met with a lot of resistance and protest. But what amused me the most was a remark that the Pakistani raiders attacked Kashmir in October 1947 and that the instrument of accession was not signed until then. The person also said that once it was signed, the Indian army was swiftly deployed in the valley.

Seventy-seven years have passed since our independence. Do we really know how we lost a part of Kashmir?

Read on!

1/8

The Background

How many of us know that it was Mountbatten who delayed the Indian army deployment in Kashmir? At this point, you might ask a pertinent question: Who was Mountbatten and what was he doing in independent India?

Mountbatten was a British representative, and he was appointed as the first Governor General of independent India by Nehru and senior Congress leaders. Mountbatten and his wife were known to be close to Nehru and were said to have used this relationship to influence him on various matters. It is also said that Lady Mountbatten’s influence on Nehru may have led to some of his wrong decisions. Maulana Azad even mentions this in his autobiography.

Notably, Pakistan, which also became independent at the same time, had a Pakistani as its Governor General.

2/8

Strategic Importance of Kashmir

Kashmir was always a strategic territory, and Britain wanted the region to be under its influence. This was possible only if Kashmir remained independent or joined Pakistan, which was leaning towards the West at the time.

Mountbatten’s loyalty was always to the British crown, and all his moves were aimed at ensuring his country’s interests were well served in any decision he made.

Nehru: The Pioneer of ‘EVM Hacking’

Yesterday, I thought I was making a harmless comment here when I said sarcastically that Nehru was the pioneer of ‘EVM Hacking’. I was only drawing everyone's attention to the fact that Nehru was chosen to be the first Prime Minister of independent India, despite the presence of other leaders who were more qualified than Nehru.

This comment was followed by remarks such as “WhatsApp Graduate” and “Show some respect,” etc. I was astonished that even in today’s digital era, there are so many who blindly believe that Nehru and his family are God’s gift to India.

It's unbelievable that so many of them still do not have a clue, about our real history. I therefore felt compelled to make this post about how Nehru became the first Prime Minister of our nation.

1/8

Sardar Patel Vs Jawaharlal Nehru

By 1945, it was clear that no one was better qualified than Sardar Patel to be the first Prime Minister of the nation. He had proved his mettle over two decades, spanning the 1920s and 1930s. He had successfully handled various agitations such as the Nagpur Agitation (1923), Borsad Satyagraha (1923), Bardoli Satyagraha (1928), and the Dandi March and Salt Satyagraha (1930), to name a few. He also played a leadership role in the preparation of the Quit India Movement in 1942.

In terms of academics, like Nehru, Patel also studied in England. The difference between the two was that while Nehru’s father financed his education abroad, Patel financed his education through his earnings. Additionally, while Nehru managed to complete his education, passing with a lower second division, Patel graduated at the top of his class in the first division.

Professionally, while Nehru struggled and was dependent on his father for his survival, Sardar Patel was a successful lawyer. By 1946, it was clear that Sardar Patel was the obvious choice to be the first Prime Minister of independent India.

2/8

The Election

The Congress was gearing up to elect its president in 1946. According to the norm, whoever became Congress president would automatically lead the country. Following the procedure established over decades, the Pradesh Congress Committees (PCCs) had to elect the president.

There were 15 PCCs across the country at the time, and they had to send their nominations to the Congress Working Committee (CWC). Whoever received the most nominations would be elected as president.

What exactly did the PM say yesterday? Why are our “secular” friends so riled up?

#Thread #AbkiBaar400Paar

This is what the PM said:

“When they were in power, they said that Muslims had the first claim to the nation's resources. What does this mean? All this wealth will be distributed among those with more children.

The wealth will be distributed to illegal immigrants. Should your hard-earned money be given to illegal immigrants?

Do you agree with this? This is what the Congress manifesto says.”

Did the PM say anything wrong? Read on!

1/6

"M-slims have first claim to the nation’s resources."

PM is clearly quoting the comment made by Manmohan Singh in December 2006. The newspaper reports, as well as the video of Manmohan Singh saying it out, are available for anybody to check. (see the image.)

Manmohan Singh made this remark and PM Modi quoted this remark.

So, what are our “friends” protesting about?

2/6

"Wealth distribution among those with more children"

It is a known fact that a certain community is multiplying indiscriminately, causing a great deal of concern to others.

Think about it logically. What happens when they have more children?

1) They continue to remain poor since they can’t earn enough to provide for their huge family.

2) The government comes up with more measures to support them. And where does the government get the money for this. Yes, from the amount contributed by you and me, the taxpayer!

3) Further, the governments continue to spend more to provide them with more opportunities, such as job reservations and education, to uplift their standard of living.

As you can see, our wealth and nation’s resources get distributed among those with more children like this.

Who are the losers in this scenario? Yes, it is us, who restrict the number of children. Those of us with 1-2 children, who work hard to provide a good standard of living to our children are the losers in the above scenario.

The PM was bang on, when he made these remarks.

Why is the Congress protesting?

Lines are Drawn for an Interesting Political Contest in the Kerala State Capital: Rajeev Chandrasekhar Vs Shashi Tharoor

#ModiAgainIn2024 #ModiKaParivar #Thread

Today morning, one of my ex-colleagues, who is not a Modi fan, texted me, telling me that the BJP is not serious about the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat. His point was that Rajeev Chandrasekhar was an unfamiliar face to Malayalis and was bound to lose to Shashi Tharoor.

My response to him was this: 'My friend, you seem to be underestimating the political acumen of the Malayali.'

1/6

Who is Rajeev Chandrasekhar?

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a Malayali settled in Bengaluru, may not have lived in Kerala, but he is well-known to Keralites as a Central minister and also due to his significant ownership stake in the Malayalam news channel, Asianet News.

Time and again, some of his video clips on various political issues have gone viral in Kerala, as well. Watch this short video clip to learn more about him.

2/6

It is true that Rajeev may not be your next-door Malayali politician. But for that matter, when Shashi Tharoor decided to contest from Thiruvananthapuram in 2009, he was unknown to Malayalis.

His claim to fame was his unsuccessful bid for the UN Secretary-General position. But beyond that, nobody knew him as a politician. To that extent, Rajeev Chandrasekhar is more known to Malayalis than Shashi Tharoor was in 2009.
