Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the
ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed on, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.
One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room.

Being a superpower isn’t just economical or military.
It’s a brand.
And a brand that should sell.
And history has shown that all great powers were brands that sold. And the humans of earth bought with their heaters and minds.

In this post, #Kolam is drawn by expert Hema Kannan @lotus_shakti. She very beautifully has drawn a cradle & Krishna's little feet popping out of it. This elaborate Kolam aesthetically narrates the story of Janmashtami. This is the power of Kolam & the stories it carries with it.

Mais que sont ces bandes d'ornement sur les uniformes de sortie des préfets, militaires, policiers, sapeurs-pompiers, douaniers, surveillants, ... ❓ #LeSaviezVous #histoire #traditions ⬇️ #thread
Chaque corps ayant ses spécificités et sa propre histoire, il nous sera possible de faire qu'une seule grande généralité (car il y a tellement de cas particuliers !).
Ainsi, à quoi sert cette bande dans la plupart des cas ?

Commençons par l'histoire du terme "fourragère".
Le Dictionnaire de l'@academie_fr précise que le terme a une origine incertaine du XIXe siècle.

Pourquoi est-ce confus ? Car beaucoup d'auteurs ont fait des confusions entre les fourragères et les aiguillettes, qui ont les mêmes origines (corde servant à lier les bottes de plants fourragers), se ressemblent mais n'ont pas le même usage symbolique militaire.

How do Saudis receive their guests in the past and nowadays.

1.Saudis are known by their extreme generosity. They receive millions of pilgrameges every year with remarkable welcoming and good reception. But how do they receive their own guests at their own homes.
2. In the past, before oil, when most Saudis were in need, they received guests & served them with what they had of food, dates happily! Why?! Generosity of Saudis resulted from their religious attitude that they gained from their ancestors who accompanied prophet Mohammad PBUH

Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. It is known as the Dharma ; Sanatan Dharma. According to Bhagavath Gita, Sanatan means - which cannot be destroyed by fire, weapons, water, air, and is present in all living/non living beings.
Dharma means, the way of life which is the total of all aachaaraas or customs and rituals. In the entire ancient Hindu literature we can see that science and spirituality are integrated. In each and every aachaaraa there'll be a component of spirituality in it.
Aachaaraas are followed for psychological/physiological health & long life; for prosperity & wealth; for strong family & social bondage. You need to understand scientifically and logically, the meaning of each and every Aachaaraas and follow the same in your life systematically.
