Re: 2019 General Elections News and Discussion

Ok not sure how we ended up here :rotfl: Rishi stated that bjp should have won in cbe or Tiruppur because of Sadhgurus presence. There are many followers of his and no one will throw a chappal at him if they see on the road but you are not getting votes with his name. It might change in the future b...

Shravan Not sure where you got the idea I was trying to disprove his services.
My post was intended to help bjp gain seats in TN.
I'll delete all sadhguru posts if you may please delete the quotes.

Re: Kerala, Andhra and Tamil Nadu - news and strategy thread

Excellent post.

I would say don't bring Ram or Krishna. Family deities are usually one of the Amman. People pray to them more than any other. Even Murugan temples are visited as a pilgrimage. Everyday temple visits are to the local vinayagar kovils or ayyappan kovils.
