This will be a pinned thread to capture some of my video and text based outreach on Dharmic topics in recent past (2020 onwards). Putting this here just for ease of sharing and ready reference. +

@hamsanandi There was this and I think a few more x.com/GurorangriPadm…

According to @TejasBalapalli Ugadi is not a Hindu festival. Same nonsensical propaganda again and again. Yes, Ugadi marks a shift. But how is that shift calculated and its celebration determined every year? It is based on the Panchangam, which uses five parameters: 1.Tithi (lunar day) 2.Vaar (weekday) 3.Nakshatra (star) 4. Yoga 5.Karana Ignoring the science and methodologies that come from the Vedas, and then calling it a “secular” festival, only shows the level of so-called scientific temper among present-day libergandus. #HappyUgadi

'Ugadi is cultural not religious. Don't make it a Hindu thing please' Okay okay. Anything that gives positive vibes and genuinely nice feelings should not be associated with Hinduism. Got it.

@halleyji It's hindu, there is nothing wrong with saying that it is always celebrated by Hindus and will be celebrated by Hindus, if any one wants to celebrate they can, just don't appropriate the festival.

“लोककल्याणदास”
@halleyji The pathogenic "hatred" & "contempt" towards anything being termed as Hindu, has somehow become the Index of Ponzi Progressiveness across the aisle in Hindusthan Bharat i.e. India.

"“Every right is married to a duty; every freedom owes a corresponding responsibility; and there cannot be genuine freedom unless there exists also genuine order, in the moral realm and in the social realm.” -Russell Kirk Sounds familiar. But we are quite divided on how much of these duties and responsibilities should be based on free will and choice and how much of it should be seen as an unchosen obligation with a lot of family lineage inheritance anchoring.

That's because of lack of faith on government management i think. You go to a movie theatre. You know so many tickets are available. You check on BookMyShow. No availability then don't go. Same with travel hotels etc too. Somewhere we have to draw a boundary otherwise this kind of experience will become normalised.

@halleyji People are rational here. If darshan are restricted then they know that the only people who will get darshan are the rich and powerful. Normal folks would always be told to come next day. We have seen this movie in every facet of life pre 1991.

Yes we aren't ready for carrying capacity conversations. If each devotee needs to get an uninterrupted 2-3min view of the diety then how many devotees can the temple accomodate per day? Each temple needs to come up with this number based on the size of the temple etc. But somehow people don't like this proposal. They don't want to be told that darshan isn't possible because full capacity has been hit already.
Ashish Dhar@infinitchy

I don't know about Baidyanath, but in most temples, paid darshan only saves time as the queue is shorter. The quality of darshana is the same in the general & VIP queues, which merge before the garbhagriha. The only solution is to define carrying capacity & enforce strict caps on footfall. But that's not palatable to most people... as yet.

"Religion was for Burke the foundation of civil society because it provided mankind with its ethical norms and values, and it was “the chain that connects the ages of a nation.” It made men conscious of “the great mysterious incorporation of the human race.” Throughout Europe, Christianity was “the foundation upon which all our laws and institutions stand as upon their base.” "
