The Dosha of Unnecessary Contact with Dogs

The Dosha of Unnecessary Contact with Dogs Unnecessary physical contact with a dog results in  Dosha  (spiritual impurity). According to  Dharma Shastra , the sounds made by dogs, cats, and owls are generally considered inauspicious. Today, dogs roam freely in many homes and temples. However, a dog should ideally remain at a distance outside the house. Dogs and cats are not permitted inside temples,  Yagasalas  (ritual enclosures), or the main living areas of a home. Any ritual offering (Havis) seen by a dog becomes impure; performing divine or ancestral rites with such items yields no benefit. If the sound of a dog is heard during  Pitru Karyas  (ancestral rituals), the ancestors are said to leave with a curse. Dogs are categorized as  Sarameya  or  Svana , and there is a distinction between the two, including their astrological significance. Today, many people roam the streets feeding biscuits to dogs, claiming it pleases  Lord Sh...

Trump — The Flaws of the Presidential System In the United States, a  Presidential system of government  is followed, meaning  Presidential elections  are held once every four years. A U.S. citizen cannot serve as President more than twice in their lifetime.

Until now, those who served as Presidents of the world’s greatest superpower, the USA, conducted their actions with great diplomacy, and their public deeds were always worthy of respect. However...

Stalin, don't you think this is a bit much

Stalin, don't you think this is a bit much? Chief Minister M.K. Stalin , during the Northern Zone Party Agents’ Conference held today (14.02.2026), took pride in claiming that his five-year rule has achieved milestones that will be praised for a thousand years. To see what those "achievements" actually are, I have listed a few that I am aware of here:  * Ignoring sanitation workers who have been protesting for six months, and occasionally arresting them to disperse their protests.  * Privatizing sanitation work .  * Allotting protest sites for agitating nurses in isolated outskirts of the city and keeping the toilets there locked.  * Failing to ensure the permanent employment of JACTO-GEO teachers and deceiving them by not restoring the Old Pension Scheme (OPS).  * Running TASMAC (liquor outlets) at a loss, despite it generating thousands of crores in revenue.  * Ministers and DMK functionaries continuously engaging in uncivilized speech and physical a...
