Spiritually impoverished cultures have no appetite for the sheer abundance that is divinity. From abundance comes compassion that informs wisdom - the wisdom that it will take 330 million rebirths for a mlechha to recognise the kaliedoscopic vision of Hindu Dharma.

The Gita does exactly the opposite. It gives you the impetus to act in the service of your svadharma despite your emotional apparatus rebelling against the highest moral imperative prescribed by the Dharma-shastras. The Gita does not exist in a scriptural vacuum.
The Gita provides a amoral framework that can elevate man to ubermensch.
It can be used to justify a lot of things, that would normally be considered evil.

Straw men cannot substitute genuine arguments.

Caste conceptually overlaps with jāti to the extent of its basis in endogamy. However, the two diverge greatly in how they relate to socio-economic realities. Caste is a wrongly imagined hierarchy, an exploitative pyramid. Jāti is an organic web of interdependent groups.
Caste may be a European *word*, but it is a Hindu *concept*: it merely is a translation of "jāti", nothing else. As I have had to experience up close in the Swastika debate, Hindu often think they can solve real problems on the cheap by means of merely verbal acrobatics.

Our ancestors were great in this regard. Females who practise Bh.Natyam wud be less nagging and neurotic in their domestic lives.
Jai Hind.

Thanks. I am delighted you like me. I am also happy that you see no contradiction in endorsing 'smarta' while rejecting 'smriti'. I aspire to attain that state of mental clarity one day, when nothing, not even the truth, obstructs my grand capitalistic vision of the future.

Instead of giving his fresh-off-the-boat liberal self some time to get acquainted with the nuances of his newfound faith, the guy is already educating us on the historicity, validity & relative importance of shāstras. If confidence were a currency, he'd be a billionaire.
Nope, never a Vedic concept. No such word or punishment in the Rigveda. Or any other Veda for that matter. You can add ass many later innovations from any number of Puranas and Shastras as you wish but that doesn’t make it authority. In fact, the much bandied-about term in

The churning of ocean is eternal. Its manifestation on earth varies across yugas. Currently we're witnessing the churn as a conflict between polytheistic veneration of Nature as mother and monotheistic exploitation of Nature as a resource. Pick your side & prepare to sacrifice.

The chequered brilliance of Raja Man Singh of Amer.
The popular narrative depicts Raja Man Singh of Amer as a helpless vassal of Akbar who sided with the Mughals and betrayed his subjects and peers. The reality is quite the opposite. Watch.

*Shoes and educational trips* (based on true events)
Having reached the age bracket where saying "Back in my day, things were..." has become second nature, I often wonder if the world is indeed getting worse or if I am just turning into a hybrid of Golmal's Utpal Dutt and DDLJ's

I think it is fantastic that such conversations are happening on one of India's biggest podcasts. Ranvir must never lose the normie/mainstream audience by appearing to be partisan. If he continues to have these conversations, that's a big win for the H narrative.

Damage it seems! Us hisaab se to Newslaundry ke poore staff ko terrorism ke liye jail mein daal dena chahiye. I am thinking of starting a course on how to deal with trolls on social media for pansies like Anshul Gupta.
That too she had to tell you for you to realise the consequences of what you did? Such a pathetic man you are because the damage is already done!!

Yuga Dharma is not a modular kitchen. The onus is on us to take the trouble of understanding it rather than imposing personal ideas on the tradition. The way of Dharma is to branch off into a sampradaya that avoids a particularly difficult ask, rather than pissing on the roots.

First, I am not a vegetarian. Second, read the post 11 times after your Sunday morning weekly bath ritual. You will understand the meaning then. That's the power of ritual.
@infinitchy
Your post is a bunch of obfuscatory BS that fails to address the central question. What does mindfulness etc. have to do with refusing to use the same utensils as non-vegetarians? Your vegetarianism is driven by mythical notions of purity rather than concern for animals.

Ah well, Harsh echoes the entire political class that he belongs to in creating a strawman and gleefully striking it down as they do on low IQ TV news shows. The objection in my tweet was to state interference in private affairs, not intercaste marriage per se.

Anything short of you screaming "annihilate caste" from the rooftop everyday is sufficient proof to declare you a "rank casteist".
As an "upper-caste" person, there is no escape when you say you are not casteist. Like chutiya Roadies judges, they'd tell you "Tu hai! Tu jaanta nahi hai lekin tu hai". Reminds me of chauthi fails at NewsLoondry profiling

There is a fascinating story waiting to be told behind each temple getting revived. Someday with the anugraha of Bhagwati, we will make a documentary film to showcase this silent revival.
A huge shoutout to
@People4Dharma
for taking up the cleaning work at Varadaraja Perumal Temple in Thoothukudi district of TN. The temple was half-buried when the team found it. They have dug up to 5 ft now and unearthed the entire temple complex. What makes it even more special

The main reason for the situation is that a vast majority of Hindus are no longer religious. The only way to respect and take care of the environment is to worship it.

1. All authoritative purvāchāryas have unanimously endorsed birth-based varna.
2. Varna related to adhikāra in a narrow set of vedic texts & rituals.
3. In many sampradāyas (including mine), dīksha is given without varnabheda. They don't change definition of Varna like modern H.

I don't know if this was meant to shock me but I am very well acquainted with Mahaperiyava's views on this matter and there is nothing in the excerpt that I disagree with. How that is a response to my post on Smritis is unintelligible to me though.

Glad that more people are speaking up about the menace of "religious tourism". When
@upword_
released some videos and infographics on the flaws of the char dham corridor a few years back, many people called us Chinese agents. Then Joshimath happened.
We knew this was coming the moment Modi ji did that “cave meditation” photo op. This is exactly what “religious tourism” is.
Religious Pilgrimage by its very design *should* be hard and arduous. The idea being that only someone

Precisely the reason why I am not overly dejected about our impending cultural extinction. If only a few of us make the effort of maintaining an active connection with her today, she will reclaim Kashmir for us the day after, if not tomorrow. Our high culture will flower again.
@infinitchy
I agree. There's so much more to be grateful for despite all the uphill battles that we've faced. If we appreciate the enormous power of Her blessings, and get back to Her sadhana, it is not too late for us do a course-correction. In that way I'm an optimist.

How about extending the same courtesy to pages generating hateful content based on gender, religion, sect, dietary choices, nationality, ethnicity, and ahem... political ideology?
Need to purge SM of caste-based pages. All day, they spread hate, hurl abuses at each other‘s caste, heroes - past & present. Saying this for yrs- need SC/ST type law to deal with these people (instead of criminal, can mandate interesting civil punishments that promote harmony).

Lol. How smoothly you shift the goal post! Intellectual honesty demands that you first admit you were wrong about the shared excerpt and only then move on to make new arguments. Too much to ask from neo-smritikaras I suppose.
