भूटान के बौद्धों का लिंग मत और उनका काम देव कुनले
भूटान के थिम्पू में अधिकतर घरो पर मानव लिंग की आकृतिया बनी है अधिकतर लिंग जो दीवार पर लगाये या बनाये जाते हैं, वे इंसानी लिंग से बड़े होते हैं..

ये लिंग भी विभिन्न आकर, रंग आदि में मिलते हैं कोई ड्रैगन के आकार का होता है, तो कोई रिबन से बंधा होता है जैसे की कोई तोहफा हो. कुछ में आँखें भी होती हैं, और सभी सख्त एवं खड़े हुए होते हैं
इन बने लिंगो को उनकी आकृति को भूटानी लोग अपनी और बुद्ध मत की परम्परा की शान बताते है |

भूटान के लोग लिंग को अपने घरो में इसलिए टांगते हैं जिससे उनका घर, और परिवार के लोग बुरी ताकतों से बचे रहें

But for the last 75 years, nobody seems to have been outraged by the fact that the greatest Indian public intellectual of the 21st century, Dr. BR #Ambedkar, was practically scrubbed from history textbooks by Congress governments and BJP governments alike.

Sure, when I studied about Ambedkar in Maharashtra State Board textbooks, they told me that he was the author of the #indianconstitution and had grown up enduring great #castediscrimination. But THAT WAS ALL.

On August 22 1907, an Indian woman posed quite a challenge to the British by hoisting the first version of the #IndianFlag abroad.
This woman was Bhikaiji Cama, a prominent figure within the Indian Independence Movement.

The flag was hoisted at the Seventh International Socialist Congress in Stuttgart, Germany as a way to create an atmosphere in support of the Independence Movement.
Bhikaiji Rustom Cama was born on September 24, 1861 to an affluent Parsi family from Bombay.
She was known to be quite altruistic having treated patients during the outbreak of the bubonic plague in Bombay in 1896.

Tritsuk Detsen (ཁྲི་གཙུག་ལྡེ་བཙན) according to traditional sources, was the 41st king of the Yarlung Dynasty of #Tibet . Ralpachen is one of Tibet’s three Dharma Kings. Ralpachen is considered a very important king in the history of Tibet
and Tibetan #Buddhism , as one of the three Dharma Kings (chosgyal) of the Yarlung Dynasty, which includes Songtsen Gampo the 33rd king, Trisong Detsen the 38th king and Ralpachen.
All three kings respectively contributed to bringing Mahayana Buddhism to #Tibet, in revealing the Vajrayana through Guru Padmasambhava, and in supporting the growth of Buddhism, the building of monasteries, and the flourishing of Buddhism with imperial patronage.

As a follow-up to my article on the #WorldCup2022 for @PillarCatholic, a couple of notes on religious aspects of this tournament.

1. This is the first time the World Cup is being played in a Muslim country, and only the second outside of the traditionally Christian world. The first was South Korea & Japan in 2002.
2. 2002 also marked the furthest a traditionally Muslim country ever progressed in the World Cup, with #Turkey placing 3rd, after beating South Korea in a very exciting game.
Those who criticize conversion of #Hindus_to_Buddhism at a mass scale in India should read what Dr. #Ambedkar, the author of Dhamma Pravartan, has to say about it. His reply to Mr. G.T. Madkholkar, Editor of the #RSS mouthpiece, local daily ‘Tarun Bharat’ on 15 October 1956. 1/n
‘You #Hindus, you inflicted damage on yourselves by allowing #Islam and #Christianity to enter into this land; not only that you let it spread, so much that eventually this country had to be divided.' 2/n
'On the other hand, the most noble and rational religion that #Buddha established in this very land was driven away. I could bring back our own religion to its homeland; and I am proud of that!' 3/n
சாம்ராட் அசோகர் கலிங்கத்தின் மீது படையெடுத்து வென்றார். லட்சக் கணக்கான வீரர்களை தமது சார்பாகவும், எதிரி மன்னரின் சார்பாகவும் கொல்லப்பட்டதைக் கண்டு அப்போது அவர் மனம் பதைக்கவில்லை, ஆனால் ஒரு வெற்றிக்குப் பின்னால் லட்சக்கணக்கான உயிர்கள் பலியாகி உள்ளதை ஒரு பௌத்த பிக்கு அவருக்கு
உணர்த்தினார். இந்திய வரலாற்றில் சாம்ராட் எனறு அழைக்கப்படும் ஒரே மன்னர் அசோகர் மட்டும்தான், அவ்வளவு புகழ் வாய்ந்த மாமன்னர் தமது வெற்றியை கொண்டாடுவதற்கு பதில் பௌத்த பிக்குவின் போதனையில் மனம் மாறினார், வெற்றியை வன்முறையினால் தக்க வைக்க முடியாது என்பதை உணர்ந்தார். உலகில் அவரது
பணி நிலைக்க வேண்டுமானால் புத்தரின் அறநெறிதான் சிறந்தது என்பதை உணர்ந்தவராய் தமது போர் வெற்றிக்குக் காரணமான ஆயுதங்களைத் துறந்து அன்பினால் மக்களை அரவணைக்கத் தொடங்கினார். இனி தமது நாட்டில் போர்களே நடைபெறாது என்று அறிவித்தார்.

The Deputies were initially assigned to various departments of the CTA and met twice a month. On 10 March 1963, His Holiness – after years of thorough consultations – promulgated the Constitution consisting of 10 chapters and 77 articles. #Tibet
The democratisation of the #Tibetan polity has long been an aspiration of His Holiness the 14th #DalaiLama. He had, in fact, initiated the reforms in #Tibet itself but this was interrupted due to China’s invasion in 1949/50. @Tibparliament

“Islamic invasion of India, The Biggest Hoax in History”.

“Islamic invasion of India, The Biggest Hoax in History”.
A thread.
The Indian sub-continent faced multiple invasions and incursions since recorded history began - likely before as well. Aryans, Huns, Scythians, Bactrians, Greeks, Kushans et alia, all made their way into what now encapsulates the geographical boundaries of India, over millenia.
As such, there is no singular event, episode or arrival that may be defined as “The Islamic Invasion of India”, in historical terms. From at least the 13th century onwards, military competition for political domination was primarily between Islamicate dispensations themselves.
