According to Jain , Mahavir was born on the thirteenth day of the bright half of the moon in the month of Chaitra in the year 599 BCE (Chaitra Sud 13). Most modern historians consider Kundagram (which is today's Kundalpur in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar) as his birthplace. Mahavir was born in a democratic kingdom (Ganarajya), Vajji, where the king was chosen by votes. Vaishali was its capital. Mahavir was named 'Vardhaman', meaning "One who grows", because of the increased prosperity in the kingdom at the time of his birth. In Vasokund, Mahavir is revered by the villagers. A place called Ahalya bhumi has not been ploughed for hundreds of years by the family that owns it, as it is considered to be the birthplace of Mahavir. Mahavirswami was born into Ikshvaku dynasty as the son of King Siddhartha of Kundagrama and Queen Trishala. During her pregnancy, Trishala was believed to have had a number of auspicious dreams, all signifying the coming of a great soul. Digambara sect of Jainism holds that the mother saw sixteen dreams which were interpreted by the King Siddhartha. . It is said that when Queen Trishala gave birth to Mahavir, Indra, the head of heavenly beings (devas) performed a ritual called abhisheka on Sumeru Parvat, this being the second of five auspicious events (Panch Kalyanakas), said to occur in the life of all Tirthankaras. #broadband #WIFI #internetserviceprovider #homewifi #BroadbandForAll #HighSpeedInternet #fibre #FastInternet #mbps #fiberoptics #InternetConnection #MahavirJayanti #MahavirJayanti2024

🌞 A Song of Birth and death: The Munda Tribute to Life 🌙 The Munda tribe's "Song of Birth and Death" , celebrates the birth of sons and daughters with profound symbolism: "My mother, the sun rose, A son was born. My mother, the moon rose, A daughter was born. A son was born, The cowshed was depleted; A daughter was born, The cowshed filled up." This beautiful song, translated from Mundari, reflects the deep connection the Munda people have with nature. The birth of a daughter is associated with a full cowshed, highlighting her precious value in Munda society, where women play a crucial role in economic, social, and ritual activities. The Munda, spread across parts of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, Madhya Pradesh, and Orissa, have a rich history. Known as the Horohon or Mura (headman of a village), they are among the first Adivasis to resist colonial rule. Their repeated revolts, including the insurrection of 1819-20, showcased their fierce opposition to the disruption of their agrarian systems. Under the leadership of Birsa Munda (1874-1901), they launched the famous millennial movement, aiming to establish Munda Raj and reform their society to withstand modern challenges. This movement ingeniously blended Hindu and Christian idioms to forge a unique Munda ideology. The Munda song and their storied resistance remind of the importance of cultural heritage and the power of community. #MundaTribe #CulturalHeritage #Resilience #ColonialResistance #IndigenousWisdom #NatureHarmony

This is not about North or South India, it’s about the faith and sentiments of millions of Hindus. How can we stay silent when our sacred beliefs are under attack? The previous @ysjagan govt hurt the very essence of Sanatana Dharma.

If Hindus will not unite now. After sometime in India too we will see these types of Barbaric Acts. The Indian Government, Hindu Authorities should be Awaken. All Hindus should start keeping Licensed Arms and Ammunition with them to protect themselves. The Indian Government should make, bring or amend the Population Amendment Act, Marriage Act, Anti Religion Conversion Act. There must be common laws for all citizens.

We need leaders to work for Hanuman Temple not just make a visit for the Social Sites Posts. Afterall, it's Modi's & Yogi's effect. Leaders have started going to temples and share the video on X. The world is watching this transformed nature of the leaders of Hindu society. The leaders who were happy to eat at the Iftar Party. Now they are changing fast. However mostly, leaders are still busy to destroy Hindus. They are happy to curtail their pleasure by banning crackers during Diwali. Some leaders go to temples to get wishes but destroy Hindus by taking out simple pleasures from their children. A Chief Minister should improve the conditions of worship places of Hindus. Like British opened Churches all across India during their rule, Hindu leaders should also come forward in building temples. Take the example of Kalkaji Temple, New Delhi, it needs money. It's in shambles. There's so much crowd without basic facilities. People are taking pains to remain Hindus but leaders in Delhi are not bothered. They don't sanction money for improving the basic infrastructure around temples. These leaders of Delhi are busy serving outsiders for their vote bank mentality. It's time to unlearn and change. They must not get wishes from Hanuman but take care of Hanuman Temple. Hindus also need security and basic infrastructures to live a better life. Leaders must care for this large crowd. Unlearn and take initiatives. Whoever becomes a Chief Minister after #ArvindKejriwal must give due attention in building Temples and its surrounding for the sake of Hindus. Hindus will not survive and prosper without our continuous supports. It's our duty and responsibility towards humanity. #kamekish #unlearning

The traditional Indian social system is built upon several foundational principles that have shaped its structure over centuries. At its core is the concept of "Varna," or the division of society into four main categories: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants and traders), and Shudras (laborers and artisans). Each Varna had specific duties and responsibilities, contributing to the overall functioning of society. Additionally, the system incorporated the notion of "Ashrama," which divided life into four stages: Brahmacharya (student life), Grihastha (householder life), Vanaprastha (retired life), and Sannyasa (renunciation). These stages guided individuals through various phases of personal and spiritual development. Despite criticisms for its rigidity, the traditional Indian social system also emphasized values such as duty (dharma), righteousness, and mutual respect, fostering a cohesive societal framework. #IndianSocialSystem #VarnaSystem #AshramaDharma
