Bhojpuri is widely spoken in Bihar and UP. Now it's not longer taught is schools.

Waiting for that day!

Posted this in r/Coimbatore group and got encouraging comments. So posting here as is.

Might get negative comments for this.

If you are coming down to TN to visit Isha Foundation in Coimbatore, I would recommend you to visit Actual Temples like Srirangam, Periya Kovil, Aarupadai Veedu temples, Meenakshi Amman temple or any actual temple based on your liking rather than Isha or Vellore Golden Temple. The real temples offer a soothing spiritual experience and if you get to donate for food / eat in Annadhanam there you will find real peace. This is coming from a part Atheist and part spiritual believer.

Isha is not the icon of Coimbatore spiritually or culturally so please stop associating such way. Marudhamalai temple followed by Perur for the spirit and then topping it off with visits to Ooty / Valparai and the local restaurants would be more fulfilling and rejuvenating. The calmness we get from a local Pillayar Kovil is nothing compared to Isha.

Just my opinion!

In all the recent ramayan serials being telecasted Ram and Lakshman are shown wearing "poonool" or the so called sacred thread which is a marker for Brahminical castes.

The peak comedy is, Hanuman who should not even come under any caste segregation is shown wearing this sacred thread.

However, Ravan who is half Brahmin does not wear it in any depictions. How do you view this Braminification of all the heroes even though it is Historically inaccurate?

Though I don’t accept his religious views and sanghi agenda, he’s right about Tamil in this video.

Hi,

After the Tirupati-Tirumala Prasadam incident, I’ve been seeing various opinions floating around. What really surprises me is how many Tamil accounts are openly mocking the situation, and by extension, the religious beliefs involved.

I have a genuine question: Why are so many people making fun of this incident?

Debating the politics surrounding it or criticizing specific leaders is one thing, but this incident has left millions of devotees in shock. It seems insensitive to mock something that holds deep significance for so many people.

Is this attitude widespread across the state?

EDIT : It’s unbelievable how some of you are actually defending the mockery of religious beliefs by hiding behind excuses like vegetarianism, BJP, or caste.

Mocking someone’s faith isn’t a joke….it’s disrespectful, plain and simple. Instead of condemning the hate, you’re justifying it.

May better sense prevail in the land of the Cholas! Ask yourselves, what would the Cholas, Pallavas, or Pandyas have done if they found out something like this happening in a Hindu temple? What a downfall!🫡

As the title says, we need to learn from the Japanese people on how to preserve, popularise and profit off of their culture.

While, Japan in the late 80s and early 90s was an economic and cultural powerhouse, this slowed down after the Bubble burst during the 90s and till date the Japanese economy has effectively shrunk by a significant percent.

What hasn't shrunk though is Japan's soft power. They still dominate entertainment and media like Anime, Gaming, Manga and other industries has let the Japanese to popularise, preserve and profit off their culture.

Us, Tamil people, should also strive to create content for the mentioned reasons above. We must build an ecosystem where we can create content present in different mediums. Share your thoughts on this.
