Request @ANI to upload the question too, wherein a participant from the audience spoke completely deriding #GST. Had halted him to say that he’s welcome to give suggestions & on his request to meet me with a delegation, gave him 23rd Oct ‘19 even from the dais. @FinMinIndiahttps://twitter.com/ani/status/1182657875828793345 …

Lilt of Lalita lingers. The sheer beauty of the language! The qualities attributed! The scale of the imagery! About a Woman! Over at least 2 milennia ago! A few more for today, in the following tweets. First line of Verse 176 And the second line of Verse 177 1/4

अव्याज-करुणा-मूर्तिर् 992 Name, Verse 181 Showers Grace without expecting anything in return अज्ञान-ध्वान्त-दीपिका 993 Name. Verse 181 She is a small lamp that removes ignorance. 7/8

Will present 2 verses in the following tweets — Verse 44 for the alliteration, and for the qualities attributed; Verse 48 for the sheer imagination contained in it. Following that, 5 names with beautiful meanings that should carry a lot of spiritual heft than what I’ve shown 3/8

Each of the 1000 names is a description of a woman Goddess, Shakti. They extol the qualities, describe the beauty, attribute cosmic/grandiose features — and thereby perceive Her as mundane and spiritual, equally. All this about “the Woman”, “Shakti”, at least 2500 years ago. 2/8

On Vijaya Dashami, a few tweets on Lalita Sahasranamam (LS) the 1000 names of Lalita. LS is a Chapter in the Brahmanda Purana (3rd Cent BCE) compiled by Vyasa. It is in a dialogue format, between Hayagriva and Agastya. The names were uttered by Rishi Vagdevis such as Vaśi. 1/8

Sincere and heart-felt greetings to the @IAF_MCC on their 87th anniversary. Your recent successful operation in Balakot overwhelmed all Indians. Professionalism, great leadership, and excellence are your hallmark. Wishing you every success in the future too.
