Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.

Namaste,
It appears that "West" and "Science" has discovered some of the benefits of Homa, Yagna. It is named as " Medicinal Smoke".
Waiting for the day some of the benefts of "Agnihotra" is discovered and
a name given to it.

The white man must be having a satisfying day to watch one Indian question another Indian about a basic cultural & spiritual norm. Why is blank forehead the norm and anything otherwise needs to be explained? Who decided this?

Yes. But the whole purpose of colonial/church teaching is to teach u
(1) DO NOT think
(2) only mug up from TRUSTED sources.
Rote learning is NOT a perversion of the colonial/church education system it is part of its CORE design.
How else could the church make ppl implicit believe for centuries in all sorts of idiotic superstitions from virgin birth to racism, and the false history AND BAD philosophy of math.
Wikipedia and AI now CONTROL what u believe.
Fact is: no one could contest a SINGLE SENTENCE in all the books and articles I have written in the past 45 years. That contest needs brains and knowledge which instruments of propaganda lack.
All they can ever say is a general dismissal WITHOUT engaging with specific which they CAREFULLY avoid, as in "this is contrary to 'mainstream' beliefs [= beliefs established by sustained propaganda]" but never engage.
The West laughs at the extreme foolishness of Indians (and the colonised) who TRUST and revere the very West which looted and killed them, reducing the richest nations on earth to the poorest.
My aim is, of course to smash that propaganda, and those church superstitions in math and science, as in my talk yesterday.
But Indians are totally convinced they must NEVER, never check facts or myths, it is a crime to do so (like it was a crime to distrust the church) and we must keep trusting the very dacoits who looted us and lied to us.
Who can ever save them from this stupid superstition instilled by colonial education?

Talent and Intellect is nature's gift.
Wisdom is human achievement, the spiritual ascendancy.
Such a measured, honest and spiritually rooted response.
To know one's place, be comfortable and content.
To know how much credit belong where.
And to know that it is the institution and through that, the Nation that matters more.
The quintessential Indian woman - Role model for all.

“Operation Sindoor is not just an assertion of National Security — it is a powerful lesson in leadership, technological preparedness, strategic thinking, and national unity.”
In this inspiring message, Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of @iitmadras, reflects on the significance of Operation Sindoor and the lessons it imparts to us as citizens, students, and future leaders.
A reminder that true strength lies not just in power, but in timely action, empathy, and collective effort.

Remember Dronacharya's advise to Arjun when testing his archery skills,
Focus on the eye of the fish.

She must
Not be misled by wolves in sheep's clothing.
So many of them now.
Reclamation of heritage the only goal.

#OperationSindoor An apt name. A moment of great joy. Our sincere gratitude to tri-services for keeping us safe and allowing us the luxury to create posts (albeit in the language of our erstwhile colonizers).

Please understand the root problem and stop calling it an India-Pakistan territorial dispute. Listen to what the terrorists worldwide have been saying as their end game. Stop being deaf and pretending not know Project Khalifat with Sharia worldwide. This is not Islamophobia but the direct and clear message of the terrorists themselves.

Shri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetadhipati Jagadguru Pujyashri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamiji gave Sanyasa Deeksha to Sri Duddu Satya Venkata Surya Subrahmanya Ganesha Sharma Dravid at Shri Kamakshi Ambal Devasthanam in Kanchipuram on the banks of the Pancha-Ganga pond in the early hours of 30th April - the auspicious day of Budha (बुध) - Rohini- Akshaya Tritiya. The new Acharya was given the deeksha name as ‘Satya Chandrashekarendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamiji’.
The pre-sanyasa rituals commenced early at around 5 am. Pujyashri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi #Shankaracharya Swamigal walked from Shrimatam and arrived at the Kamakshi temple around 5.30, accompanied by mangala vadyam, vedic chanting and devotees. A grand reception was accorded with Poornakumbham at the temple entrance, and the skies of Kanchi reverberated with the sound and lights of crackers.
The stage was set at the Mangala Vinayaka Sannidhi on the banks of Pancha-Ganga teertham in Kamakshi temple. Pujya Acharya arrived at the stage and the Sanyasa Sweekarana Mahotsavam commenced. Sri Ganesha Sharma Dravid, had Snanam in Pancha-Ganga teertham, and amidst recitations of mantras for renunciation was blessed with Kashaya vastra, Danda, Kamandala, Asana and was given Mahavakya upadesha by His Holiness. A Sudarsana Salagrama was placed on the young swamiji’s head and abhishekam was performed with a conch. Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswati Swamiji then gave a powerful message to all of the world in 5 different languages and blessed the young Acharya with the deeksha title as “Satya Chandrashekharendra Saraswathi”. It was a momentous and joyous occasion for the thousands of devotees all across the temple campus and the pond - to have the darshan of both the Acharyas together. Chants of “Sri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamiji ki Jai” and “Sri Satya Chandrashekarendra Saraswathi Swamiji Shankaracharya ki Jai” filled the air. The Mangala Vadyams, and the spectacle of colourful fireworks added gaiety to the occasion.
His Holiness accompanied by Pujyasri Satya Chandrashekarendra Saraswathi Swamiji proceeded to the main sanctum of Sri Kamakshi Ambal Temple, where visesha pujas were performed, followed by pujas and offering of Parivattams and prasadams at Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya Sannidhi.
Both Acharyas walked in procession from the temple to Sri Shankara Math, accompanied by a large number of devotees, and with poornakumbhams and swagatam being offered enroute. At Shrimatam, after Sri Chandramouliswara Swami Puja darshan and prayers at the Adhistanams of Pujyashri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Mahaswamiji and Pujyashri Jayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamigal, prasadams from various adhistanams of Purvacharyas, and from temples of Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and other states were offered by priests and representatives.
The Governor of Tamilnadu Sri RN Ravi and the First Lady, Chief Justice of Madras High Court Sri K R Shiram, Former MP Sri Subramanian Swamy and various eminent persons from different walks of life participated. Devotees from across the globe witnessed the events. Live webcast and broadcast in various Media enabled virtual darshan for those who could not make it in person.
Annadanam and distribution of water and buttermilk was performed at various places around the Raja Veedhis in addition to the Annadana Hall, and other venues.
Coinciding with the 2534th Shankara Jayanti Mahotsavam being held at Kanchipuram, this glorious event is an important milestone in the illustrious lineage of Shri #Kanchi #Kamakoti Peetam, #Kanchipuram. ( Sri Shankara Jayanti falls on the 2nd May 2025)

Immediate, simple steps to take against Pakistan that should not require many meetings and planning:
1) End those silly border ceremonies with Pakistan and distributing sweets during festivals, FOREVER. Make it so by law, that even if another govt comes they need to change the law and face public ire.
2) End Kartarpur corridor. It was a silly decision to open it and allow Pakistani Khalistan operations against India. It must be closed, FOREVER.
3) Stop Pakistanis from visiting India. Not even on medical visas, FOREVER.
4) Stop all trade with Pakistan FOREVER. Make it illegal for Indians and Indian national run companies, no matter where they are situated, to trade with Pakistan.
5) Stop all humanitarian exports to Pakistan even if there's a disaster. Medicines included FOREVER.
6) End all cricket and sports with Pakistan FOREVER. Not even in Dubai or other venues. If Pakistan plays in a tournament, India should not. Use BCCI and ICI to ban their cricket team, citing terrorism, like Russia was banned from Olympics and sports.
7) Prevent Pakistani planes from using Indian Airspace when going east to Asia. Similarly, end air space access to all international planes landing/taking-off in Pakistan unless their state publicly calls out Pakistan sponsored terrorism. Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Islamabad, or British Airways from Melbourne to Karachi must NOT be able to use Indian air space if their govts and state media like CNA and BBC do not condemn Pakistan sponsored terrorism and call such attacks as Islamist terrorist attacks from Pakistan.
8) Pakistani run "Indian" restaurants around the world must be hit. I do not know how India will do it. But they should not use the "Indian restaurant" brand name. Help all Indian travelers avoid eating in those restaurants by identifying them in every city.
9) Make it anti-national to preach "peace with Pakistan" by losers in India. Any support of Pakistan by Indians must be punishable - online or offline. Like how US punished Americans supporting USSR and communists.
10) Ban all Youtube and SM channels from Pakistan accessible in India making millions of our ad revenue and doing subtle propaganda as if they are friends. So long I have been crying about this.
All the above, not so difficult right? They are no brainers. And should have been done long ago. Hope India does them soon.
