[Fact] its never about imposing Hindi. Its always about sidelining English - Because with English, one can level up!
The government provides good scholarships for studying spoken English.
As the majority it will become hindi because of staff availability and practicality.the overseeing commission will be under their control like the governor.
Next target will be tnpsc and all competitive exams will be conducted in Hindi.there is enough competition for the exams already and the officers in our government position will be from north my speculation.
No political parties are worried about the kids and teachers lives getting ruined because of that.
The funding is crucial for so many projects and also salary for temp teachers.
Annamalai will talk about police recruitment but not about hrnsc and other departments because it does not concern.

Do Western scholars give too much importance to the Manusmriti?
One should read and understand Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana BEFORE going to other smritis or shrutis as those will give one a strong foundation and understanding of Sanatana Dharma.
I am skeptical of westerners translations of Sanskrit texts, although they may be sanskrit experts. The plain reason is that most, if not all, DIDN'T do any sadhana to understand the inner meaning of these texts. -
Chinese Wok (My experience)
I am a big foodie..like when I was poor still I use to save money so that I can eat out..now I have a good job and I earn well so I eat a lot outside. I can say that Chinese wok is pathetic. And since I am a foodie I don’t say something is bad by just trying once, if something is bad, I tried that again at a different location and then I confirm it is bad. So Chinese wok is bad.. the price they charge and the food they give is opposite. They charge 200-300 and serve Chinese like a thelawala, full of oil, no taste. Very bad. I would rather go to Nanking anytime -
Tantra in Shree Mandir (Part 1)
Tantra in Shree Mandir (Part 1)
Is Jagannath Dakshina Kali? Is Balabhadra Tara?
The Direct Application of Pancha 'M' Kara in Shree Mandir
Ugratara Shulapani Subhadra Bhubaneswari
Neeladrantou Jagannatha Sakshat Dakshinakalika.
Whenever we attempt to associate Shreekhetra with Tantra, the first verse that comes to mind is this one. However, its authenticity has been a matter of eternal debate between two opposing sides. One side claims that this verse is Tantric in origin, although there is little direct evidence of it in present times. The other side dismisses it as entirely fake or fabricated.
Positioning myself in the middle ground, I will discuss how Jagannath is considered Dakshina Kali. Jagannath is essentially Vishnu to the Vaishnavas, Surya to the Sauras, Ganesha to the Ganapatyas, Shiva to the Shaivas, and Shakti to the Shaktas. Naturally, as a result of this tradition, this verse has gained popularity, and it is commonly quoted by many servitors and researchers of Shree Mandir. It is a natural tendency to carry forward one's own tradition. However, today, we will explore whether Jagannath is actually addressed as Dakshina Kalika in Shree Mandir and, if so, when and in what context.
In another local authoritative text, Mahapurusha Vidya, we find:
"Tara yantre Mahashesha: Subhadra Bhubaneswari
Shyama yantre Jagannatha Dakshina Kalika Swayam."
We know that in Shree Mandir, on the Ratna Singhasana, Goddess Peeta Bimala, in the form of Bhagavati Subhadrika, resides at the center, flanked by Shiva-like Balabhadra on one side and Vishnu-like Jagannath on the other. In the Shree Yantra-like structure of Shree Mandir, Jagadamba Bimala is present as Mahabhairavi. The primary Peetha (seat) of Goddess Bimala is located in the southwest direction of Balabhadra's vast form. Bimala Devi is the supreme empress of Uddiyana Tantra. There is no doubt that the Peetha where she resides is a Tantric Peetha. However, a detailed discussion of Bimala and her Tantric aspects will be covered in a later part.
Now, let us return to today's topic. In the daily Chaturdhaara Puja, there is no direct application of Pancha 'M' Kara (the five secretive Tantric practices). However, indirect symbolic applications are present, which most people are aware of. During Snana Yatra and Anabasara, certain esoteric Tantric rites involving Karala Chandan and others are performed, but otherwise, throughout the year, Jagannath is worshiped using Vasudeva, Bhubaneswari, and Narayana mantras.
I have not found any authentic evidence in any local texts regarding the presence of Yantras on the Ratnavedi. However, the presence of Jagannath's Shakti aspect is primarily due to his association with Goddess Bimala in the Bhairavi Chakra. As Madhava, he resides with the Goddess and accepts worship during the Sharadiya Mahapuja, which includes a distinct application of Pancha 'M' Kara. During this time, sacrificial rituals involving sheep and goats are still conducted at the Peetha late at night.
Mahapuja in Shree Mandir
The Mahapuja of Mahaprabhu in Shree Mandir mainly takes place during the Nabakalebara festival, which occurs approximately every 12 or 19 years. This Darubrahma festival is the most significant and grandest festival of Shree Mandir. After the Daitas complete their search for the Daru (sacred wood), the new idols are sculpted inside Kaibalya Vaikuntha within an esoteric Ashtachandi Chakra led by Goddess Bimala and Mangala.
During this time, Lakshmi Narasimha, enshrined in the southern chamber (Dakshina Ghara), is worshiped following strict Tantric methods. However, this worship is not performed by regular Pujapandas but by Samanta Brahmins appointed by the Gajapati king. Currently, three specific lineages (Vatsa Samanta, Ratha Samanta, and Nanda Samanta) perform these rituals. These Kshatriya Brahmins primarily worship in the Shakta Peethas surrounding Shreekhetra.
During Nabakalebara, the Jeevanyasa (life infusion) of the new deities involves a direct application of Pancha 'M' Kara. These rites are mainly dedicated to Tara, Kali, and Bhubaneswari. During this period, Magur Maachh (catfish) is sacrificed in Kaibalya Vaikuntha, a practice that continues to this day. Direct application of Pancha 'M' Kara is also found in Brahma Sthana Shodhana and in the use of Tamra Kuta, Hema Kuta, and Rajata Kuta during the Jeevanyasa process. These rituals are performed under the supervision of the Rajaguru.
It is during these Chakra or Mandala pujas that Balabhadra is addressed as Tara, Bhagavati Subhadra as Bhubaneswari, and Jagannath as Dakshina Kali. Unlike the daily rituals, the usual Chaturdhaara Puja mantras are not used in Nabakalebara. Instead, these Chakra Puja traditions are the primary reason behind the association of Jagannath with Kali, Balabhadra with Tara, and Subhadra with Bhubaneswari.
During these ceremonies, offerings (Naivedya) are not placed in vessels but directly inside pots, which is why it is called Abhara Naivedya. At this time, Lakshmi Narasimha, enshrined in the Dakshina Ghara, is also invoked as Simhamukha Krodha Bhattaraka, while Lakshmi is addressed as Para Bhattarika.
Additionally, during Nabakalebara, all Yajnas are conducted not with Narayana or Vasudeva mantras but with Patala Narasimha mantras. Perhaps this is why, in the traditions of Shree Mandir, Jagannath continues to be associated with Kali, while Balabhadra is linked to Tara. -

What are some 'green flags' in a girl that actually turn out to be red flags once you get to know her better?
Very much okay with the idea of getting a drink or two. Turned out she had an alcohol problem and she will go on a date with almost anybody who offers her a drink.
I found out, she was also very much open to the idea of private after party when the restaurant/pub closes down, if you casually mention there's a bottle back in the apartment. -
