Indian Election Results (Part 3)

Part 3 is here and I reallyyy hope it's the last one.

Independent candidates lead in Jammu & Kashmir with 3 individual seats, BJP in tow with 2. Congress remained on zero. Independent candidate wins the only seat in Ladakh.

BJP shocks in Himachal Pradesh by winning all 4 seats. Modi factor shines here because despite being in power in the Vidhaan Sabha, Congress remains on the zero mark. Personally, I believe that the credit to Kangana Ranaut's Mandi win is due to Modi Ji's campaign, because Kangana's speech during the campaigns are lack charisma.

Congress isn't able to bring it's phoenix rise in Uttarakhand, remaining on zero while BJP wins all 5 seats.

10 seats of Haryana are equally divided b/w BJP and Congress with both 5 seats each. Congress also wins the 1 seat of Chandigarh.

The 50-50 division is also seen in Goa, where both parties win 1 seat each.

INDIA sweeps Punjab with Congress winning 7 seats, AAP 3 and Akaali Dal 1. BJP loses 2 seats, falling on zero. Even if Congress leads here and it's been year since the incident, I'll forever be bitter that they let go of Amrinder Singh. He practically revived Congress in Punjab, highly experienced.

In Sikkim, Regional Party {Sikkim Krantikari Morcha} wins the 1 seat.

BJP leads with 9 seats in Assam, Congress getting 3 and Regional Party {Asom Gana Parishad} getting 1.

To no one's surprise, Congress with the 2 seats of Manipur. BJP remains on zero, rightfully so. No one is more right in voting against BJP than the Manipur public.

Both BJP and Congress remain on zero as Independent candidate wins 1 seat in Mizoram.

Congress wins the only seat of Nagaland.

BJP wins 2 seats of Tripura and 2 seats of Arunachal Pradesh, Congress remains on zero.

Independent candidate and Congress win 1 seat each in Meghalaya, BJP on the zero mark.

Congress wins the 1 seat of Lakshdweep, 1 seat of Pondicherry while BJP wins 1 seat of Andaman & Nicobar.

That's it I guess! I think I covered all the states in these 3 parts, but do tell if I forgot some.

The Nath Yogis

From: Embodying the Formless: Spiritual Practice in the Nath Sampraday

Photography: Sriram Sabhapathy Curation and Captions: Kartikay Khetarpa Source: Sahapedia

The Nāth Sampradāya today comprises an order of renunciate ascetics and a householder caste, both of which trace their lineages to a group of nine Nāth gurus headed by Ādinātha (“First Nāth”), who is identified with the god Śiva. Next in most lists of nine Nāths comes Matsyendranātha, followed by Goraksanātha (Gorakhnāth), who is ̣ said to have founded the Nāth order of ascetics. he earliest references to the Nāth ascetic order as an organized entity date to the beginning of the 17th century, but its irst historical gurus, Matsyendranātha and Goraksanātha, lived much earlier, probably in the 9th and 12th centuries, respectively, and during the intermediate period there are numerous references to both ascetic and householder Nāths in texts, inscriptions, iconography, and historical reports.

"An idol of Gorakhnath at the Jwalamukhi Shaktipeeth in Himachal Pradesh. Perhaps the most important figure in the tradition, Gorakhnath features in many popular Hindu legends. According to one such story, which is often connected to the origin of the sampraday, he is said to have ‘saved’ his guru Matsyendranath (who is believed to have been a direct disciple of Shiva) from the land of women where he gets entangled in worldly pursuits. Gorakhnath, his disciple, eventually rescues him and exhorts him to return to his original renunciant condition, setting up the Nath sampraday in the process."

"A Nath yogi at the Shri Gorakshnath Mandir (Barah Panth Dalicha) at Pushkar. Pushkar is an important center for the Naths with separate mathas for both the ascetic as well as the householder branch of the sampraday. A mela or festival is organized here every year on the Kartik Purnima (full moon of the Kartik month of the Hindu calendar) which is attended by hundreds of Nath ascetics travelling from all parts of the country."

"Shrines to local folk deities at a Nath matha in Pokhran. Nath mathas can either be panchayati (communal) or niji (private). The panchayati mathas are centres for the ramta ascetics to congregate on festivals of importance and for elections of leaders. They are much fewer in number in comparison to the niji mathas which generally come up around the figure of charismatic Nath ascetics and have an independent mode of functioning. In Rajasthan, apart from gurus and deities associated with the Nath sampraday, such mathas also often house shrines dedicated to local heroes and folk deities."

A depiction of the Navnaths and the 84 siddhas at the Guru Gorakhnath-ji matha in Myajlar (Jaisalmer). The Navnaths are revered alongside the 84 siddhas (an archetype that in some sense symbolizes all individuals who are able to achieve spiritual perfection in their lifetime).

"A defining attribute of Nath ascetics are the large round earrings that many of them wear. Also known as the darshan mudra or kundal, these earrings are worn through the cartilage (not the lobe) and can be made of wood, horn, gold, silver or any other material preferred by the yogi. The ear-splitting ritual is performed only after a Nath initiate has spent considerable time as an apprentice. Comparable to a second birth, it is also treated as testimony to the initiate’s spiritual perfection.'

"A Nath yogi working on preparing the seli."

"The Naths in Rajasthan are said to have sustained a flourishing relationship with royalty who often bestowed land grants and other munificient giftson them in regard for their supernatural powers. The lavish interior of the Mahamandir is an indication of this."

"This is also the time when the ramta Nath ascetics travel to the temple. Hundreds of them gather at the Gorakh Dibbi which is a separate section of the temple governed by the Naths. A special religious ceremony is performed here at this time of the year."

"A Manganiyar family in Kanoi (Jaisalmer) sings from their repertoire of Nath bhajans. Bhajans and kirtans are an important part of the devotional life of the Naths. In Rajasthan, while Nath bards themselves perform the epic tales of their ascetics, heroes and kings, on many occasions other communities, including the Muslim Manganiyars, are also invited to Nath gatherings and mathas to sing from their repertoires, which can relate either to the Nath sampraday specifically or to the larger nirgun bhakti tradition in the region."

"Amolakhram ji, an elderly from the Meghwal community, recites bhajans associated with both the Sant and the Nath traditions. As he sings, he plays the tandoora (an instrument akin to the veena) with his right hand, and a jhinjha (wooden hand cymbals) with his left. The Sant and the Nath traditions draw from as well as compete with each other in the Rajasthani public sphere. While both tend to emphasize nirgun bhakti, one can often also come across songs that are written as dialogues of one-upmanship between a prominent Nath figure like Gorakhnath and a prominent Sant like Kabir. Where the loyalties of the singer or the patron lie is what generally determines the outcome of such a parley."

Former CM Shettar quits BJP

Former Dy CM Savadi quits BJP

Former Dy CM Eshwarappa retires

Sitting MP Sanganna quits BJP

With more than 40 BJP rebels in the fray - the arrogance of Delhi BJP leaders is ensuring that the BJP will sink below 40 seats in Karnataka.

A cartel of a few BJP leaders who are close to Delhi leadership are trying to finish all competition including Yediyurappa & Somanna in this election.

Massive anti-incumbency already plagues this 40% Commission Govt and now with rebels and senior leaders quitting BJP (much worse situation than Himachal Pradesh), Karnataka will finally be BJP Mukt and PayCM will lose.

Congress campaign on the contrary is running smoothly with the 4 guarantees of YuvaNidhi, Anna Bhagya, Gruhalakshmi and 200 units free striking a chord among the masses and smooth ticket distribution.

Like @RahulGandhi said, Congress is heading towards a massive majority of 150 seats.

Congress 150, BJP May be less than 25 🔥🔥
