🔱 Is there a language so perfect it maps sound to the cosmos?
So logical, it works like code?
So sacred it's called the language of the gods?🛕
Yes. It’s Sanskrit.🕉️
A 🧵that might change how you see language forever👇
From NASA labs to Himalayan chants, here’s the story.
[1/10] Sanskrit isn’t just a language—it’s a living vibration.

It wasn’t “invented” like English or French.

It was revealed that Brahman is a śabda, or sound, as a divine principle.

Spoken by sages, chanted in mantras, and mapped to the cosmos. 🌌

#Dharma #Justice 2/
To fight for justice is not about vengeance.

It is about protecting the virtuous, challenging the wicked, and restoring balance.

In every age, injustice resurfaces—and in every age, someone must rise.

That someone could be you.

The arrest of Mahrang Baloch under terrorism charges is not an isolated incident—it is part of a decades-long campaign of genocide.

1/ Sufism is often seen as a peaceful, mystical tradition within Islam.

But historically, it has acted as a Trojan Horse for expansion, using soft power to Islamize societies resistant to direct conquest.

Was it a colonizing method to impose Islamist hegemony and destroy indigenous traditions, softening societies for gradual Islamization?

Is Sufism a trojan horse for Islamism?

Let’s examine its role over time. 🧵👇

Ref: brookings.edu/articles/posit… 2/ Let's look at it from a historical lens.

During the 8th-10th century, during the early expansion of Islamism, Sufi mystics spread Islam into Persia, Central Asia, & North Africa.

While they preached spirituality, they subtly undermined indigenous traditions, preparing the way for Islamic governance.

[1/9] What do recent decisions by the incoming US administration (President Trump) hold for Israel? 🌍🇮🇱

Let's do a deep dive! A thread. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

For those of us who have been appalled by the growing antisemitism and the horrors of October 7, when Hamas perpetrated one of the most barbaric acts of terror against the Jewish people, the lack of clear policy and ambivalence in US support for Israel during the Biden administration has been disheartening.

The burning question is: What does the new administration signal, and what does it hold for Israel?

P.S. Thank you to everyone who reached out for my thoughts on this matter. Instead of responding individually, I’ve compiled my insights into this thread. I invite you to read through and share if you find it interesting!
