Balinese invented a deity Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa and made a Shaiva priest/saint named Dang Hyang Nirartha into their "prophet" to Islamise their religion and appease the Indonesians.
The Indonesian military & local militias also engaged in a massive, state-sponsored purge of thousands of members of the Communist Party of Indonesia, which decimated the Left Wing in their country and shaped the country's political trajectory.
My Vidyāraṃbha rite was done here.
I am told that my family nearly lost me here when my uncle turned his attention away and little me, enthralled by the horns on the cows and cattle roaming near the temple-grounds, followed them around.
My Guruji keeps repeating this point.
We think wearing "Dharmic clothes", going to temples, participating in rituals, bowing in front of idols makes us Dharmic.
But it's all meaningless without adhyatamika, without the motivation to make outselves better, actively trying to remove greed, anger, hate, desire, ignorance and attachment.
Even if you worship Devas for a million years, its useless without actively trying to purifying your mind.
"they are not bloodthirsty but desirous of plunder"
reminds me of how indians once surrendered to british just to save an architectural masterpiece from being levelled to ground.
wellington was incestuous pedophile who sold his bride in back alleys of london.
Since so many people have problem with this, give me one verse from any of the vedas which prohibits me from entering a temple OR considers menstruation as impure.
During Vedic Period Agnihotra Yagya was compulsory for both genders and was performed everyday without a miss, if women were considered "impure" then why was it not mentioned to not perform those rituals everyday.
Also if periods are a tabboo why is Maa Kamakhya even worshipped in hinduism, like make it make sense. Use some brain.
Also ik some of you are gonna quote Manusmriti and some other texts here, so let's not forget interlopation in that case and the contribution of useless mfers like Max Muller.
Also Gadud Puran NOWHERE mentions worshipping or performing rituals during periods as a "sin", so idk where that argument is coming from🤷♀️
@KaayanB@nfrndlyblkhttie@KaranSharma1008 wrong sar , humans are born like this , they take advantage the minute you see weakness.
not every couple is "True love" couple.
