Worship should be done with the aim of attaining salvation (Liberation / Moksh). Worldly benefits, prosperity and good health are by-products of true worship. However one needs to have firm faith in true worship of God Kabir given by Satguru Rampal Ji Maharaj. They need to abide by the rules of Bhakti and keep patience and then one definitely reaps the benefits of Naam.

Shortlist of the issues I care about / support:

Movements that are part of the Milk Tea Alliance:

Free Hong Kong

Taiwan's struggle against Chinese encroachment

Thailand Protests

Myanmar anti-coup protests

Free Tibet

East Turkestan Independence

Black Lives Matter

Woman, Life, Freedom

Ukrainian resistance against Russia

Free Palestine

If you're asking me why I'm supporting Palestine, that's because I believe human rights should be for everyone in the world and not just for people who are like me. Whoever is under oppression and needs help, I will stand with them.

And my support for Palestine will not diminish my support for these other movements that I'm already getting behind.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Myanmar 2021 - Protesters pratice shield formations before clashes with the police

[not-your-asian-fantasy]

Nope, today’s not a public holiday. The people of Myanmar are taking part in a “silent strike” by staying home between 10am and 3pm as a show of solidarity with the movement to restore civilian rule to the country.

When truth is no longer free,  freedom is no longer real:  the truths of the police are the truths of today.

Since 2016, the Philippines has suffered neo-fascist rule. First at the hands of U.S.-backed dictator Rodrigo Duterte and now by his successor, Bongbong Marcos, who took office in June. The individual office holder has changed, but the political reality remains the same. The political prisoner crisis in the Philippines has exploded in the past six years. There is a severe and disturbing irony in BongBong Marcos lecturing any country about their treatment of political prisoners when his fascist government is one of the most notorious for using prison and torture to subdue progressive and revolutionary political forces.

From Humans of Myanmar:

Today, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi celebrates her 78th birthday, which unfortunately also marks her third consecutive birthday spent in detention following the military coup in 2021.

To honor her on this day, a #flowerstrike took place in the country, and a banner expressing the sentiment "We Miss You" was displayed from a bridge located in Yangon.

Additionally, it has been reported that the military council has been arresting individuals who choose to adorn their hair with flowers as a symbol of solidarity.

Let us continue to stand united, work towards justice, and strive for the day when she is released and can contribute to the progress and prosperity of Myanmar once again. 🇲🇲

Everyday on this here webbed site i see a post that references current news, you know, world affairs that are widely discussed and reported in serious news sources. It may be something happening in the global south or to a marginalised group, or frankly anything outside the US, Ukraine or the Royal family. And then in the replies there’s always some spring chicken aghast at hearing about this for the first time. “Why is no one talking about this???”.

And like, yeah western news sources are generally shitty, and they often latch on to a few stories in the global news agenda and ignore the rest. But at some point, you have to take responsibility on your own media consumption. If you want to be aware of the world, you need varied, high quality news sources. I’m not asking you to subscribe to every paywalled newspaper and follow every POC journalist in twitter. But at least read idk… The Guardian once in a while. Make a small fucking effort. Tumblr shouldn’t be your primary news source!!!
