The Vedās alone are our pramāṇa (authoritative) scripture. The Vedās are known as apauruṣeya (not written by any person). If a person creates something, it is called pauruṣeya. For example, when someone carves a sculpture, he is the śilpi. If a person writes a book, he is its author. But no one wrote the Vedās. As they are the very breath of Īśvara, the Vedās have existed eternally as apauruṣeya. One of their names is Śruti (that which is heard), and they have been preserved from parampara to parampara, as a Śruti. The Vedās' meaning has been presented in forms ordinary people can understand. The Purāṇas and Itihāsas convey the meaning in a way that common people, and those who may not possess sūkṣmabuddhi (subtle intellectual abilities), can comprehend. We come to understand the teachings of the Vedās through the Purāṇas, the Itihāsas, the Nīti Śāstras (ethical scriptures), and our nitya anuṣṭhānas. There are many Purāṇas, and almost all are in Samskṛta bhāṣā. Hara Hara Śaṅkarā Jaya Jaya Śaṅkarā Nārāyanā #kamakoti #JagadguruVacanam

MRTS didn't become dilapidated overnight. DMK ruled Tamil Nadu for 5 years and you've been Central Chennai MP since 2019. Where was this urgency then, and why does it show up only after losing power?

Interesting. Good to see common myths debunked
Fresh Apple 🍎 & thermal shock Anggy customer: You have sent us wax coated apples! Horrible 🤬 shame on you, fraud, scam, I can't trust anyone in this world, jaagograhak bachao... Reality: These apples were harvested in Kinnaur - where night temperature last week during harvest was +1-2C. They arrived at our warehouse where night temperature is +5-7C Then they travelled to Hyderabad - via Dehradun & Delhi. Peak thermal shock would have been almost +35C. So a delta of +20C that goes right into the apple till the core. What does an apple do? It protects itself. It's still alive because it has been freshly harvested. The skin of an apple starts secreting natural wax - called Bloom. Due to the apples being bumped around and friction of the paper trays, the fresh bloom gets scraped as it's generated. Then the apple generates more bloom. Read and educate yourselves about Bloom here: tonsvalley.shop/2024/05/03/n… What to do with these apples? Just rinse in cool water and wipe with a soft cloth. Put in the fridge so that the apples cool down.

Meters could be abolished in Auto and capex could be saved. Almost everyone has App, even private apps, all use GPS. Start "Thalapathi Saavari" App for Autos, Bike Taxis, Cabs, operate with 5% commission or Rs 5 flat rate. @CMOTamilnadu
Humor from TN//Auto charges hiked by TN Govt// From 1967 I find no Auto come as per meter in Chennai//other towns no way//If a few agree it is rigged meter//Destination?? I always ask Auto man in Chennai where he would like to take me or go//That helps:))))) RT

A matchmaker just dropped a reality check on modern dating expectations. After tracking her most hostile, insulting, and threatening clients since February, she revealed that 9 out of 10 were women. The examples of entitlement are wild: one woman screamed because, for her a Stanford grad was "just an MBA," and another threw a 30-minute tantrum because her date had to reschedule as he was in a hospital. Another client claimed she was "10 times as educated" because a match made 3 lakhs less than her annually. After dealing with such female clients, the matchmaker highlighted a massive red flag: the way you treat your matchmaker is exactly how you will treat your match "when things don't go your way." Isn't she right? The true measure of a woman is reflected in how she handles the things which don't go her way. The matchmaker further said that, "Men won't argue with this entitled attitude. They’ll just finish their coffee and never call back." In marriages, your temper decides the direction, way more than the profile ever does. If modern, successful women are so entitled and full of attitude, men will just walk away, and not want to handle her temper. Who would want to waste their time, resources and energy over immature women! Guys, what do you think?

Thanks to the TN Philately Passport, I stepped inside Robert Chisholm Hall again after more than 30 years! And of course, I got one, and the first stamp in it was of Maharana Pratap, my childhood hero.
And I thought I was early. I heard people have come from as far as Bengaluru for the TN Philately Passport. Only one per person, and only 350 are available at the GPO.

Our guruji states if you do regular Sandhyavandhana and offer Tarpana to different forms of Narayana and grahas depending on sampradaya, everything falls in place 🙏

Came to watch Singanamala Bobbili......... RANABAALI! I am from Ananthapuram district where the story was set. Brace for a no holds barred gushing and updates!! Before the movie starts, let me say I felt an instant connect with the story. My ancestors immigrated during Madras famine to Yellanur village in Anantapuram. My great great grand father and my great grandfather somehow managed to rebuild their lives and let me say even prosper a bit before my grandfather shifted base to Ananthapuram and family weaned away from agriculture. As a child, I have vague memories of former farmhands and their families visiting us, bringing fresh produce as gifts though our agrarian base was history. As a child, I saw family grapple with one financial crisis after the other. Grain getting wasted was a strict no-no. I used to think it is because of our financial condition. But something tells me it is a value derived from an ancestral memory of the semi Arid Rayalaseema, mainly Anantapuram and Kadapa regions. A famine story is bound to hit so close home that the Wikipedia plot and scenes I saw on Social media were enough for my chest to tighten. Let's watch the film and see how it works...

Birthday wishes to #Sivakumar sir. The most disciplined actor in the Indian film industry. It’s very tough to not touch alcohol and cigarettes in an industry that considers these two habits as a privilege but he is as firm in his decision. Also, his regular yoga practice made him fitter and younger
