#the pandavas are a menace

[incorrectmahabharatquotes]

A snippet of a normal day at the Hastinapur playground

Bheem: *yeets Mahodar on the ground*

Mahodar: *starts crying and yelling like anyone would if that happened to them*

Bheem: Why are you crying, I did it to Sahadev too and he's okay.

Sahadev, one of the five demigod freaks of nature: (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Mahodar: *traumatized for life*

(My headcanon for the "canon" childhood bully Bheem is that growing up, the Pandavas played rough. He probably dangled Arjun and the twins off high places by their legs and all they did was giggle and ask to be thrown higher. Since they're all demigods, they have different standards of pain tolerance than normal people. He continued doing that to the Kauravas who are decidedly not demigods and he ended up hurting them every time. Bheem thinks that it's a skill issue. The Kauravas hate him for it and they're valid for that.)

Karma of Cities

Everyone has their own karma. Every action as it's own reaction. I believe, just like people, places have their own karmas too. The actions carried out in a place create their own karmic resonance, attracting more of the same. eg - Sometimes actions of the past make a place fearsome in its silent menace. 

I feel Cities too have their own karmas. eg - if you live in places like NY or Mumbai, you are going to become more obsessed with money than other cities. Places like Paris can make a person very narcissist. But is this simply because of the people that currently live there or is there something in the very soil of the place that impacts the people who come to live there?

Here is an example of why I feel the karmas committed in a place impacts its residents for a very long time to come. 

Indraprastha was created by burning down the Khandav forest. Arjun and Shri Krishna killed off all animals and tribal population of the place and didn't allow anyone to escape flames. (only Maya danava and Takshat survived the fire) The curses of the dead impacted the place so severely, that though they did a Rajasu Yagna in the new city, the karmic impact of the killing so many impacted the Pandavas for decades to come. Not only did they lose their kingdom in the worst way possible - gambling - they suffered for 13 years - living 12 years in the sort of jungle they burned down to create Indraprastha. 

Karmas of Indraprastha continued into the future, spawning several cities in the area originally occupied by the Khandav forest. There are nine cities of Delhi, though 7 are considered to be the main ones.  Indraprastha Qila Rai Pithora Siri  Tuglagabad  Jahanpanah Firozabad Shergarh / Purana Qila ShahJahanabad New Delhi

What is common between the 9 cities is the intense stress and political strife that exists in them. Its almost as if the pain of animals and forest dwellers who were killed to create this city still impact the current residents of the land!

I am sure if you examine the past of most cities, you can see how their founding impacts them even now. eg - Rome, founded by a deadly rivalry between twin brothers Romulus and Remus. To have people come to his city, Romulus declared it would offer asylum for 'exiles, criminals, and runaway slaves'. They later abducted Sabine women to populate the city of exiles, criminals, and runaway slaves! Rome grew to be an imperial and religious capital in its 2000+ years of history. Do the weight of karmas from all these centuries still weigh heavy on its citizens? 

Another example - NY was bought by the Dutch for $24 (£1000 in today's money). The natives virtually gave the land away because they didn't understand or appreciate the idea of 'land-ownership'. New Yorkers are still looking to outsmart people and get a bargain by buying cheap and selling at a much higher price.  

Anyway - let me know what you think of the karmas of cities and how it impacts its residents for centuries, millennias to come!

Le ministre des Affaires extérieures, S Jaishankar, a déclaré samedi que tout comme les Pandavas ne pouvaient pas choisir leurs proches, l'Inde ne pouvait pas choisir ses voisins géographiques. « C'est une réalité pour nous... Les Pandavas ne pouvaient pas choisir leurs parents, nous ne pouvons pas choisir nos voisins. se trouve être l'énergie nucléaire, sera un atout ou un passif." S Jaishankar était à Pune pour la sortie de son livre anglais « The India Way : Strategies for an Uncertain World », qui a été traduit en marathi par « Bharat Marg ». La version marathi du livre de S Jaishankar a été publiée par le vice-ministre en chef du Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis. Interrogé sur la situation économique au Pakistan, S Jaishankar a déclaré qu'il ne pouvait pas commenter ce qui se passait au Pakistan. La Banque mondiale a réduit de moitié la croissance économique du Pakistan - de 4% à 2% pour l'exercice en cours, affirmant qu'Islamabad fait face à des difficultés économiques croissantes, a rapporté The News International. "Néanmoins, le Pakistan est confronté à des difficultés économiques croissantes et le Sri Lanka reste en crise. Dans toutes les régions, l'amélioration du niveau de vie au cours de la demi-décennie jusqu'en 2024 devrait être plus lente qu'entre 2010 et 2019", lit la Banque mondiale dans Perspectives économiques mondiales. rapport. La situation économique du Pakistan est précaire avec de faibles réserves de change et d'importants déficits budgétaires et courants qui ont été encore aggravés par de graves inondations. Environ un tiers de la superficie du pays a été touché, endommageant les infrastructures et affectant directement environ 15 % de la population, a rapporté The News International. De plus, avec de faibles réserves de change et un risque souverain croissant, le Pakistan a vu sa monnaie se déprécier de 14% entre juin et décembre et sa prime de risque pays augmenter de 15 points de pourcentage sur cette même période. Au milieu de cela, le gouvernement du Mouvement démocratique pakistanais (PDM) dirigé par le Premier ministre Shehbaz Sharif a accepté de remplir toutes les conditions du Fonds monétaire international (FMI) pour la reprise rapide de la prochaine révision. Shehbaz Sharif a déclaré le 24 janvier que l'alliance PDM au pouvoir au Pakistan était prête à sacrifier sa "carrière politique pour le bien du pays" en acceptant les conditions "strictes" du FMI pour relancer le programme de prêts. Les rapports révèlent que plus de 9 000 conteneurs sont bloqués dans différents ports maritimes pakistanais, menaçant de perturber les chaînes d'approvisionnement des biens essentiels. L'inflation dans le pays a atteint près de 30 %. Les fonds du pays s'épuisent et les prix des denrées alimentaires augmentent. Selon Islam Khabar, les importateurs ne sont pas en mesure de dédouaner les conteneurs en raison d'un manque de dollars, tandis que les compagnies maritimes menacent de suspendre les opérations du Pakistan en raison de l'incapacité du pays à effectuer les paiements en temps voulu. Cela aura un impact négatif sur les importations et les exportations. La Banque d'État du Pakistan (SBP) ne dispose que de 4,4 milliards de dollars de réserves de change, à peine suffisantes pour trois semaines d'importations, tandis que les besoins estimés pour dédouaner les conteneurs et les demandes en attente d'ouverture de lettres de crédit supplémentaires sont de l'ordre de 1,5 milliard de dollars. à 2 milliards de dollars, selon le rapport Islam Khabar. Les entreprises au Pakistan risquent de fermer en raison d'une rupture des chaînes d'approvisionnement, car les produits fabriqués dans le pays dépendent de matières premières importées. L'industrie textile au Pakistan se trouve également dans une position critique car elle perd en crédibilité et en parts de marché auprès des acheteurs internationaux. Les hôpitaux du pays manquent de médicaments et il pourrait bientôt y avoir des pénuries de produits tels que le blé, les engrais et l'essence.

Le Premier ministre Sharif a ainsi demandé à la population de conserver les ressources telles que l'eau, le gaz et l'électricité pour aider le gouvernement à réduire sa facture d'importation, qui a considérablement augmenté ces dernières années. S Jaishankar a également déclaré que le Traité sur les eaux de l'Indus est une question technique et que l'action future dépendra des pourparlers entre les commissaires de l'Indus de l'Inde et du Pakistan. "Il s'agit d'une question technique, les commissaires de l'Indus des deux pays parleront du traité sur l'eau de l'Indus. Nous ne pourrons discuter de nos prochaines étapes qu'après cela", a-t-il déclaré. L'Inde a adressé un avis au Pakistan pour la modification du Traité sur les eaux de l'Indus (IWT) de septembre 1960 après que les actions d'Islamabad aient porté atteinte aux dispositions du traité. L'avis a été transmis le 25 janvier par l'intermédiaire des commissaires respectifs des eaux de l'Indus, conformément à l'article XII (3) de l'IWT. L'objectif de l'avis de modification est de donner au Pakistan la possibilité d'engager des négociations intergouvernementales dans un délai de 90 jours pour remédier à la violation substantielle du CIES. Ce processus mettrait également à jour l'IWT pour intégrer les leçons apprises au cours des 62 dernières années. L'Inde a toujours été un partenaire responsable dans la mise en œuvre de l'IWT. Cependant, les actions du Pakistan ont empiété sur les dispositions du CIES et leur mise en œuvre et ont forcé l'Inde à publier un avis approprié de modification du CIES. Soulignant le changement radical dans la politique étrangère de l'Inde, S Jaishankar a déclaré que l'influence du pays s'est étendue au-delà de l'océan Indien jusqu'à l'océan Pacifique. S'exprimant lors de la cérémonie de publication du livre "Bharat Marg" écrit par S Jaishankar, il a déclaré : "De nos jours, l'influence de l'Inde s'est étendue au-delà de l'océan Indien jusqu'à l'océan Pacifique, c'est pourquoi je parle d'histoire, les grands pays ne pensent toujours qu'à eux-mêmes. , c'est une déficience de leur ADN."(À l'exception du titre, cette histoire n'a pas été éditée par le personnel de NDTV et est publiée à partir d'un flux syndiqué.)

Do you take headcanon requests? If so, do you have any headcanons on the Pandava mind-link? I love your account, keep up the great work!

Thank you so much! I do take headcanon requests; However, I don’t have many headcanons, so I probably haven’t even given stuff like the mind-link a second thought. Regarding the Pandava mind-link:

Aru and Mini totally use it like a telephone. When their favourite program is on, they watch it together and/or gush about it via mind. 

It can only send fully-formed words, no pictures or feelings (unless the plot calls for it, of course). 

Oh! They also use it to contact Brynne when the kitchen’s on fire. Aru isn’t too bad at cooking for herself (since travelling Mom), but she doesn’t pay attention sometimes. 

Also, Aru has strange food tastes, so she is a menace when cooking for others. She’s the type of person to put mayonnaise on celery or make a watermelon sandwich with ketchup.

Mini, on the other hand, cannot cook for her life. 

She’s never had to make food for herself all that often (her dad makes killer pancit on her birthday); when she does, she makes thing like peanut butter sandwiches or food that doesn’t require cooking. 

Once the twins are settled-down and in school, they have three concerned aunties checking in on them constantly via mind-link.

This kinda became a “cooking” headcanon, but I love food. There’s this easy Lebanese dish I want to try, and I’m hungry. But, yeah. Send in any headcanons you have!

Tungnath Trek

A sneak glance inside one of the tallest and oldest Shiva temples in the world might be fun.

Isn't it true that just the concept itself causes such a flurry of intense emotions?

In the Tungnath mountain range, in the state of Uttarakhand, the Tungnath Temple is perched atop Chandrashila Parvat. It is perched at a menacing 12,073 feet above sea level.

The name "God of Mountain Before" directly translates to "Tungnath Temple," a celestial residence. It is not only the highest temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, but also the highest of the PanchKedar temples, and it is set against the most breathtaking scenery. Let's quickly review the Panch Kedar temples before learning more about this amazing destination of worship.

Hindus hold these five temples (PanchKedar), which are holy sites devoted to Lord Shiva, in the highest regard and encourage pilgrimage there.

For a pilgrimage to these temples, Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath, Madhyamaheshwar, and Kalpeshwar are the specific order that one should adhere to. The third Tritiya Kedar among the PanchKedars is Tungnath.

Tungnath Temple:

It is estimated that Tungnath Temple, also known as Tunganth Mahadev, is older than 1000 years. The temple was allegedly found by Adi Shankaracharya. The temple, where Lord Shiva resides, is home to his exquisite idol. Near this temple are also the statues of the Goddess Parvati and numerous other deities. Due to the harsh winters, during the winter months Lord Shiva's idol is transferred to his adjacent winter residence, Mukkumath Temple.

Huge crowds of tourists are drawn to this majesty place of worship by the exquisite architecture of Tungnath temple and its alluring setting.

The Chopta-Chandrashila hike, which also passes by the high-altitude glacial lake known as Deoria Tal, is the finest way to see the Tungnath temple.

Tungnath Summit- Chandrashila Peak

The top or destination of the Tungnath Mahadev Trek is Chandrashila, often known as the "moonrock." The appealing height of 13,000 feet above sea level is where Chandrashila summit is located. Numerous legends are linked to Chandrashila. After killing Ravana, Lord Rama allegedly pondered at this top. Lakshman, Lord Rama's younger brother, is also said to have meditated at this location, the Chandrashila Temple.

Chandra, the moon deity, is said to have spent some time at Chandrashila Peak in self-abasement, which is just one of the many legends that make this place special.

To get to the mesmerising temple, the Chopta Chandrashila walk route passes through verdant meadows, charming hamlets, and dense forest. The trek continues to Chandrashila Peak, which requires a 1.5 km difficult ascent from Tungnath to reach Chandrashila peak.

History and Mythology:

The Mahabharata era is when the mythology around Tungnath Temple first appeared. According to legend, the Pandavas sought restitution for their crimes after defeating the Kauravas in the Mahabharata conflict. Pandavas should beg Lord Shiva's pardon, according to Rishi Vyas.

The Pandavas travelled in various directions in quest of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was persuaded that the Pandavas were to blame for the deaths of their Kaurava cousins. He thereupon disguised himself as a bull and hid beneath Guptakashi to escape the Pandavas.

Later, when Lord Shiva assumed his original form, five distinct locations held the remains of His body. The Panch Kedar, or five temples, were built by the Pandavas in homage to Lord Shiva at these locations.

The body part of the bull (Lord Shiva's body) that was found there is connected to the particular temple. Scriptures claim that Lord Shiva's hands (bahu) were visible at Tungnath Temple.

To please Lord Shiva, the Pandavas built the Tungnath Temple for this reason.

Things To Do:

Tungnath is not a popular tourist destination. But it gives visitors the most captivating spiritual and adventurous experience. A picture-postcard setting, it is one of the ancient sanctuaries nestled in the gorgeous surroundings.

Pilgrimage- Of the five PanchKedar shrines, Tungnath is the Shiva temple that Hindus hold in the highest regard. When starting the Char Dham Yatra, pilgrims frequently travel to Tungnath to ask Lord Shiva's blessings.

Trekking: Chopta is the starting point for the trip to Tungnath. You can access the breathtaking Garhwal Himalayan terrain on an easy grade-level walk.

Kirmira is a Rakshasa. He is the brother of Bakasura, and the best friend of Hidimba.

Kirmira lived in Kamyaka Forest, menacing the Rishis who lived there. The Mahābhārata tells of the Pandavas journey into the forest, where they were challenged by Kirmira. Bhima, the second Pandava, eventually choked Kirmira to death, having previously slain his brother, Bakasura.

India can’t afford to stay an ostrich within the fashionable world

http://tinyurl.com/y4vsb2wt Our legal guidelines on sports activities betting are steeped in a misplaced sense of morality that’s far faraway from the fact of recent India. Nearly a 12 months after the Legislation Fee of India really helpful that betting be legalised, no strikes have been made to enact a regulation that takes under consideration the realities of the digital age and the worldwide scene. Most Western nations, which lay far higher stress on battle of curiosity and ethics in sport, permit for some type of betting. Whereas the UK, Germany, Australia and Spain permit all types of playing, america has a extra state-specific method. The regulation fee advocated that Parliament give you a mannequin laws which may then be examined and tweaked by state governments for implementation. Sports activities playing and betting are coated beneath the state listing and the Centre can solely recommend pointers. Horse racing has not confronted any strictures in the case of betting. So, the logic of not extending this to different skill-based sports activities doesn’t maintain a lot credence past what seems to be the jaundiced notion that the inhabitants at massive doesn’t have the psychological bandwidth to not be led astray. The regulation panel additionally urged a cap on the variety of bets that may be positioned, linking of PAN and Aadhaar playing cards to bets whereas dividing them into small and huge relying on the quantities in competition. That will nicely permit checks on compulsive playing and forestall it from morphing right into a psychological dysfunction. If bets are legalised, the spectre of fixing may additionally be exorcised as vital betting patterns may be traced after which linked to sporting performances. Shashi Tharoor had even launched a personal Invoice in December 2018 advocating for legalisation however nothing got here of it. The UK is a basic instance of how sport can profit from playing as the first supply for sports activities funding comes from the Nationwide Lottery. This then goes into investing in long-term improvement programmes in addition to fostering sporting actions for the lay citizen.India’s method to sports activities betting has been largely ostrich-like. Sufficient scandals and investigations have revealed that there’s rampant betting on cricket matches. The Board of Management for Cricket in India has taken cognisance of exposes to ban many a participant through the years. Simply that for need of a authorized framework that may penalise them or management them, most of those instances haven’t held up in courtroom. The Worldwide Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit additionally concluded that India is a large hub for bookies and alluded that legalisation would assist examine the menace. FICCI has been pushing for betting for a variety of years. Its functionaries have gone on document to say that the transfer would deliver beneath the authorized ambit financial actions within the vary of Rs 3,00,000 crore and that in flip will solely assist foster sport and welfare actions as this can be a income stream that’s going untapped. Legalising betting can even generate jobs and usher in international direct funding to states that look to casinos to strengthen tourism. The very fact stays that India has did not rein in clandestine betting in sports activities. This has change into the area of the mafia and felony components. It in flip has led to an influx right into a parallel financial system which additional creates regulation and order issues. As an alternative of letting this income go into unscrupulous fingers, prudence means that this be channelised by a structured format, which might permit for fostering the expansion of sport. Estimates put the dimensions of the unlawful betting market within the neighborhood of Rs 10 lakh crore and all this cash is flowing into the fingers of the underworld. The UK will make investments £309 million derived from its Nationwide Lottery into sport in from 2017 to 2021. On the identical time, betting regulators within the UK recommend that there could also be as many as two million downside gamblers who threat dependancy. This damaging social fallout notion doesn’t lower a lot ice with proponents of legalisation as they assert that India could have many extra such addicts than the UK, however since all betting occurs underground, there is no such thing as a solution to even monitor such indexes. There’s a mythological slur on playing in India because the epic Mahabharata illustrates how the Pandavas misplaced their kingdom in a recreation of cube. However the actuality of recent India is much faraway from the morality of the epics and it’s time our lawmakers recognised that. For lawmakers to look away at the same time as clandestine betting thrives within the nation is a disservice to sport.
