Sant Tulsidas (2/2)

Pakistani terrorist admitting that they are training terrorism in terror camps. Water is wet.

Remember, it was not an attack on Pakistan or Islam. It was an attack on terrorism.

Justice is served ,

Jai hind 🇮🇳

You shouldn't expect a reward for something that is expected of you.

Just like when you're a parent, you are expected to support your kid, give them a good upbringing. You shouldn't expect rewards in return. The same goes for feminism. If you think your feminist views deserve a clap or a pat on the back, choose a better reason.

men lose their masculinity (the social reward for correctly performed manhood) through advocating for, sympathizing with, or doing labor that is allocated to women.

(and I'm not talking about some innate, spiritual, or psychological masculinity. I mean social masculinity--being regarded by higher ranking men as masculine.)

you genuinely do lose your current standing if you meaningfully and consistently object to the economic, legal, and interpersonal status of women, especially in ways that implicate men around you.

many men believe that if they are willing to do this, occasionally, then they are owed a recuperation of their masculinity through some other means.

if they are sacrificing masculinity through advocating for women politically, then they expect to bolster their masculinity through receiving expressions of gratitude and adoration by women ("feminist men are so hot" "consent is sexy" "pro-choice men get laid more" etc.) or they expect to bolster their masculinity through emasculating other men by asserting the standards of masculinity they adhere to are the "real" masculinity ("real men support women" "sexists are immature boys, I'm a man" "I'm secure in my masculinity and they're insecure" etc.)

to dismantle patriarchy, you need to be able to advocate for women even when it means losing gendered status. other men mostly will not respect you, and many misogynist women will not respect you either. it might not get you laid or praised or validated. in fact, it will probably subject you to increased scrutiny and criticism (because feminized subjects are always subject to such, and if you lose social masculinity, you too will experience this to some degree).

will you still advocate for women even if there is no social benefit and only social cost? do you have principles, or do you just want the fantasy of being a benevolent ruler?

The last line 👏🏼

This is Pakistani senator Palwasha Mohammad Zai Khan from Bhutto's PPP. She is saying that Pakistan will invade India, destroy Ram Mandir and lay down the bricks of Babri Mosque (this building was never holy to muslims as it is not a mosque associated with any of the prophets) and make Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir, who held a speech stating how Muslims and Hindus are two different nations, right before the Pahalgam terror attack, do the first "prayer" call.

They want to destroy Ayodhya AGAIN. They've again and again shown clear aggression towards us Hindus. Yet you see way too many people talking as if pakistan is the victim. No way hell they get to dehumanise us and not expect a response. If pakistan should try this, I will support anything that breaks geneva conventions when it comes to it.

Thought this was a recent post. But this is from a year ago.

Because the question still stands true.

Ones again they are all silent. Not even a single word. They hate BJP but why don't they talk about victims who are hindu?

What kind of rivalry they had with Kanhaiyalal?

What kind of rivalry they had with Sakshi?

What kind of rivalry they had with Shradha?

What kind of rivalry they had with Ayush and Aahan (literal kids)?

What kind of rivalry they had with those Hindus on Mira road that day?

Why this "secularism" is one sided? And why I am a "fascists" to call this bullshit out? Why can't they just freaking stop being this heartless!?

From the below, I just want to draw a parallel

A woman, somewhere in India, gets assaulted. The news channels picks it up. The internet erupts. People are angry, grieving, and demanding justice.

Feminists across the nation say: it's happened again, we know the criminals are clearly men, it's always men, we need stronger laws to protect us, punishment needs to be harsh for assaults, men are the danger, let's not trust them, ever again.

Parents across the nation sit down with their sons and daughters and tell them - be careful around men, be cautious, be alert.

They don't ask them to stop talking to their male coworkers, their male friends at school or college, in the neighbourhood, they don't ask them to not board a cab if the driver is male. Or ask them to never share the same space as a man.

Because fear is exhausting.

And now a hate crime against Hindus is committed in Kashmir. The news covers it, it's all over the internet, everyone is grieving, fuming over it, talking about it. And we know why the victims were shot.

The only motive terrorists have is spread fear. And they've clearly sent across that message. But it's on us to fix it. Let's not ask others to not trust their Muslim friends, neighbours, coworkers, don't let this break those bonds. Just be alert, be careful, be cautious.

Don’t let this fear turn into hate. Don’t let one crime make you burn every bridge. Don’t carry the weight of suspicion everywhere you go.

So I just found this out about Shiv Charcha. So "charcha" here doesn't just mean discussion. It could be a simple gathering in the name of Shiv. Where bhajans and kirtans are performed to praise the deity. Which was exactly what was happening yesterday.

We have a family from UP doing "Shiv charcha" today and I can't get enough of it🥰😇

They've called all families in our society who are from UP and everyone's singing bhajans and kirtans in bhojpuri and awadhi. By everyone, I mean, it's all the women. My mother's also there. And hearing it all feels so good. It is because it's quite rare that this kind of event happens. And yeah connecting to the language is an added benefit here.

Does anyone know what a "Shiv charcha" is though?

anon legit went the caste system route and thought he did something

Connect everything to Caste - something never mentioned in scriptures to prove that Sanatan is bAd 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay so I don't know which story you're referring to. So I'll just talk about both:

1. The Tridev take birth as Anusuya's sons

So Mata Anusuya was known for her divine powers and her wisdom and knowledge. Her husband was Rishi Atri. The Tridev once decided to test Mata Anusuya. They appear before her under the guise of rishis and ask her to serve them with zero clothes on her because they had taken a vow or something. Now, Anusuya ofcourse couldn't serve them that way, she's a pativrata and sati. So, she with her divine powers turns them into children and serves them food. And at some point during this whole exchange, she realises that they are the Tridev. And she refuses to turn them back in their actual selves. The Tridevi ofcourse had to intervene requesting Mata Anusuya to give them their husbands back. So, Mata Anusuya then asks for a boon that let the Tridev be born to me as sons. And the Tridev and the Tridevi all bless her with this boon. So yeah, that's how Shiv ji was born as Rishi Durvasa, Vishnu ji as Rishi Datt, and Brahma as Chandra.

2. About the siblings pairs

So we know Adi shakti is the primordial goddess in Hinduism (I'm a Shakti worshiper first and so I believe in that, Shaivs and Vaishnavs have their own beliefs). So, this goddess is formless, she's just a huge ball of energy. She divides this energy into 3 parts. Sattva - Maha Saraswati, Rajas - Maha Lakshmi, and Tamas - Maha Kaali. These goddesses then further created 2 beings each. Maha Saraswati - Vishnu and Gauri, Maha Lakshmi - Brahma and Lakshmi, and Maha Kaali - Shiv and Saraswati.

So no one ever told me about Ram ji roasting the moon and listing it faults because it's just not as beautiful as Maa Sita after looking at her once in the gardens? No one?

And then he just returned to his Guru like nothing happened? As if he didn't just talk to the moon and insult it?

I generally prefer Valmiki Ramayan but the Balkand in Ramcharitmanas is pure gold.
