You don't need to know how an internal combustion engine works in order to drive a car.

You don't need to know quantum mechanics or wave theory to use a cell phone.

Just practice what is told by elders. Understanding is a privilege earned through praxis. Not a right.

[Parimal @Fintech03]

The deepest explanation for why we perceive time moving forward comes from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (Chapter 4, Verse 33), where he introduces the concept of Krama (क्रम). Patanjali writes:

क्षणप्रतियोगी परिणामापरान्तनिग्रार्ह्यः क्रमः ll

kṣaṇa-pratiyogī pariṇāma-aparānta nirgrāhyaḥ kramaḥ ll

He defines Krama as the continuous sequence of distinct, infinitesimal moments (Kṣaṇa). Patanjali states that human perception can only grasp the sequence after the transformation (Parināma) reaches its completion.

The human mind functions exactly like a cinema projector. The universe itself exists in an unbroken, simultaneous present. However, because our physical bodies & brains run on biological metabolism (Prana & Agni), our neurological processing unit (Chitta) is forced to slice reality into linear frames.

We perceive time flowing forward because the mind is a mechanical machine designed to consume energy, register a change only after it occurs & file it away as a memory. We cannot perceive the future because our brain has not spent the metabolic heat required to process the frame.

The problem with the bharatiya (Sindhu Saraswati ganga civilisation)for western academia is this - it lives on.

It's easy to pass on your ridiculous constructs as truth when the civilisation is dead - all u had three of your delusional peers reviewing them for a journal run by your own kind. they were largely successful here too - with active collaborators adding to the thaparesquity of fantasises. But somewhere along the way - we woke up

By merely studying or researching honey one can never know it's sweetness without tasting it.

"Historians" preaching their interpretation to descendants of the living civilisation is just that - being blind-sided to living memories; missing to taste the honey and eating sand.

I loved this subject exactly for this challenge it posed! 😃

Engineering Drawing was one of the 3 papers my father couldn't clear in his first year of B.E. (there were 21 papers). Engineering Drawing (ED) is widely considered a tough paper because it tests a specific cognitive skill often not developed in high school: spatial visualization. Instead of memorizing formulas or writing essays, you must mentally visualize a 3D object and translate it accurately onto a 2D sheet of paper.

You must be able to "see" hidden lines, rotated angles, and complex intersections in your mind before you draw them. It is a universal language. You must follow very specific rules regarding lineweights, scale, dimensioning, and projections (like orthographic or isometric). A single misplaced line or incorrect scale can fail the entire drawing.

Unlike theoretical subjects where you can write a few sentences to get partial credit, drawing requires exact geometry. If the fundamental projection or angle is wrong, the entire structure falls apart.

Learning ED requires hands-on repetition using drafting tools (T-squares, compasses, protractors). Just looking at a solved problem in a textbook is rarely enough to master it. #engineering #exams

Dharma in Sanskrit is known as Dharam in Hindu and Aram in Tamil.

I know you dislike the fact that Tamil has any link to Sanskrit but your very name, Saravanan is Śaravaṇa (शरवण) meaning "reed forest" in Sanskrit and it would be pronounced Shravan in Hindi.

The word Dravida is also Sanskrit and through Bengali, it is present in our National Anthem.

Yet, your entire movement has tried to erase the deep cultural, spiritual and linguistic bonds that tie Tamilagam and Bharatam together. Tamil Nadu is Bharat.

தமிழ்த்தாயும் பாரத மாதாவும் ஒன்றே!

"Bharatanatyam is built on technique, control, tradition, geometry, musicality and emotional depth"

And more importantly, it is built on the core foundation of Bhakti that all the about are centered around...

[Anita R Ratnam @aratnam]

Watching this clip felt like Bharatanatyam being held hostage by a catastrophic misunderstanding of the form.

Somewhere between the flailing arms and random camera moves, the dance quietly packed its bags and exited the building.

Bharatanatyam is built on technique, control, tradition, geometry, musicality and emotional depth. This clip treats it like a wedding sangeet filmed during a mild earthquake.

The tragedy is not that it is BAD. Bad can sometimes be charming. The tragedy is the complete confidence with which it bulldozes through centuries of sophistication, training, dedication and devotion while appearing utterly unaware that ADAVUS are not optional suggestions.

This is choreography by algorithmic panic - and Lord Nataraja is suffering this abomination.

Why is the West not curious on the great Indian 🇮🇳 civilization?

This week Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Norway. The government rolled out the red carpet. King Harald invited for lunch. All bigwigs of Norwegian business turned up. This is of course as it should be at such a historic visit.

Rather different was media. No curiosity, no real attempt to understand India. When the third most powerful man in the world visits Norway, you may expect some real interest? An attempt to understand the world’s third largest economy, a global green leader, one of the world’s brightest civilizations??

It’s not that Norway is overrun with visit at this level. Last Indian top visit was Indira Gandhi in 1983. Last Chinese president visit was 1996, last American president was 2009.

Here are some taste bits from Norwegian media:

* Aftenposten the largest newspaper printed a caricature of Modi as a snake charmer, many found it racist and derogatory. The accompanying article (written by an otherwise brilliant journalist) described Modi as a “slightly annoying man” and simply showcased that India is not high on the papers reading lists.

* Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), the state broadcaster, explained “why prime minister Støre is clearing his desk to receive Modi”. From everyone outside Norway I got exactly the opposite question: Why did Modi use his valuable time in such a small and insignificant place?

* Dagsavisen, a left of center daily, sent a young journalist to throw questions after Modi - claiming that India is 157 on a global democracy ranking. When a ranking is so contrary to common sense - why doesnt she ask those who created the ranking why they spread such nonsense?

I am not aware of one Norwegian journalist closely following India. NOT ONE! How can the public learn more?

Unless you believe democracy only fits a handful of small, homogenous, ultra rich western nations, India is the miracle of democracy. The large, complex, lingustically and religiously diverse nation with many poor people - which has etablished a vibrant democracy and is much less violent than Europe or America.

India can in fact make a claim to be the worlds most homegrown and impressive democracy.

We are entering the Asian century. Unless we Europeans become more curious - to civiliazation, history, politics and economy in the Global South - we will become the big losers of history.

PM is traveling abroad to secure investments and ensure energy security in this period of economic gloom due to various global wars. It is one thing to know that, as a contender of PM post over the last 16 years, you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand this. However, I am intrigued to see your irritation towards promoting a reputed Indian brand (Parle). Is it because you don't want Indian brands to be showcased on the global stage? Or are you disgruntled by your intelligence (or lack of it), which has kept you puzzled over why melody is chocolaty?

Point was to show continuity of Sanskrit language. Enough scholars have dated veda to 2116BC or earlier, replace the gita quote w/ something from veda and the point still stands. About mixing auspicious nos. w/ modern dating system, had to use a no., why not it be auspicious?

Indira Jaising gaaru seems to have argued in the court during the Sabarimala issue that morality can't be interpreted as something which is dictated by society at large because societal morality can be full of prejudice.

If societal morality is full of prejudice then what is so special about this Constitutional morality that it is exempted of this prejudice phenomenon?

This Constitutional morality supremacy is crazy. If and when this country truly decolonises itself then this term Constitutional morality should be officially sunset or at a minimum thoroughly reevaluated.

So long as it's reign prevails we will stay colonised. It is an alien concept foisted upon this society!

I had this Karma question for a long time. Then I got this explanation, which kinda satisfied my query.

This ancient Indian carving explains KARMA better than modern philosophy ever could.

Every knot is connected, you can trace from any point and traverse through all the knots and reach the starting point without lifting your pen.

In Sanatan Dharma, karma is not punishment, but is connections. Every action ties a knot. Every intention strengthens it. You don’t escape karma. You move within it.

See how every loop touches another? That’s life. Your actions affect someone. Their reaction affects another. And the cycle continues. Nothing is isolated.

At the center stands the doer. Not as a victim. Not as a spectator. But as the creator of consequence.
In Sanatan thought — You are both the cause and the perceiver.

Karma is not revenge. It is balance. Not fear. But law. Karma doesn’t choose sides, Karma doesn’t miss details.

That’s why our Rishis taught: Act with awareness. Speak with dharma. Think with purity. Because every knot you tie… you will one day touch again. Sanatan never said “be scared.”
It said “be conscious".

Today’s action is tomorrow’s destiny.

[Sankararaman K @SoundOfConch]

@adithya This is enfuriating!

Are there any guidelines or policies that explicitly ask for this? If yes, why do we wait untill an incident occurs, and not act preemptively?
