Sir,this is my twitter handle where I choose what to write. If your respect for me is eroded, so be it. Like you have chosen to RT a 'certain jodo yatra', I have chosen to highlight what I feel is right. So it is better we refrain from advising the other person what to (dis)like.
@dushyanthsridar @narendramodi Regret too much to see this type of messages. You are considered as a gifted personality but by such inclinations, the respect is getting degraded. Sorry.

Amidst the thick forests of Cambodia lies the beautiful descent of Ganges with the enchanting Ranganatha, Bramha & Siva. As we trekked, the Paramatma revealed himself with such majesty! We all recited Vishnu Sahasranama to invoke his blessings! Kbal Spean is truly an experience!

Vishnu Sahasranamam was solace to me during the pandemic period, like it was to the many of you. It is the panacea to health problems. Stalwarts have rendered this stupendous stotra in the last century. Here is my attempt .

'Dakshina Bharata' is the land of Azhwars, Nayanamars, Valluvar, Adi Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhva, Vedanta Desika, Bhakti saints & more. They worked towards bringing the jivatma closer to the paramatma. In the last few days, some people aimed at creating a divide are hurling abuses.

'Tiruvaḷḷuvar (Tirukkuṟaḷ), Kanyākumārī and Vivekānanda at the confluence of three seas makes the Hon. PM's visit special. If some opine that he is performing prāyaścitta (for his utterances), I would love to see the leaders from TN perform prāyaścitta for all that they have

I second this. Bravo 🙌 @ARanganathan72.
Dear Hon'ble Members of Parliament. It is better to be a hero who is forgotten than to be a coward who is remembered. Do not be cowards. Do the right thing. Do not amend the Waqf Act. Abrogate it. Text of my letter to the Waqf Joint Parliamentary Committee:. From: Anand

#WomenAgainstRangarajanNarasimhan - I have been quiet all these years for the vituperative language that Mr Rangarajan Narasimhan has used on me. (1) He has normalized words like ba*tard, m*ron, as**ole, and phrases like 'were you born to a single father', 'don't put your **** in.

Had the fortune of having darshan of #SriGuruvayurappan (Sri Krishna) on #SriJayanti & #Gokulashtami. Reminded of Bhattatiri who said, 'hanta bhagyam jananam' (blessed are those who have the glimpse of HIM)! ❤️.

Every line of Kalidasa's Sakuntalam is treasure. This scene inspired Ravi Varma too. Was a risk for us to handle a scene that had inspired stalwarts. Yet we did our bit. Hear these lines in Sanskrit where the actors needed NO PROMPTING. Full movie:
