Don’t think that students just learn your subject.

They learn who you are while you teach it.

Over 2000 years ago - Hindus in Kaivalya Upanishad Verse 20:

अणोरणीयानहमेव तद्वन्महानहं विश्वमहं विचित्रम् ।
पुरातनोऽहं पुरुषोऽहमीशो हिरण्मयोऽहं शिवरूपमस्मि ॥

“I am smaller than the minute atom; just as I am greater than the most immense.
I am the universe, wondrous and manifold.
I am the Ancient One; I am the Puruṣa; I am the Lord.
I am of golden radiance; I am of the form of Śiva .”

Why do Hindu temples keep falling into corruption?

The answer isn't just politicians and bureaucrats. It is about their governance regime.

In this video, we explore the ancient Agamic framework and offer a completely different way of thinking about temple governance: the Temple as a Sacred Commons.

A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.

And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.

Does a teacher need to share the cultural roots of their students to truly educate them?
Or is deep subject knowledge enough?

We'd love to hear your view 👇

Did you know that Harappa was not the first site discovered in SSVC (Sindhu-Saraswati Valley Civilization)?

What we call Indus Valley Civilization today should have been named the Sindhu Saraswati Valley Civilization & the core of it should have been Kalibangan NOT Harappa. Italian scholar L.P. Tessitori found evidence of it in Kalibangan in 1917, a full 7 years BEFORE discovery of Harappa.

Shockingly, Tessitori's findings reveal that in 1900, British engineer Warren was constructing a section of the Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway. He ruthlessly dug up ancient bricks & terracotta artifacts from 2 large mounds of Kalibangan, which were smashed into gravel for the tracks!

Thankfully Tessitori was curious enough to dig himself at the site. What he found was incredible - pottery, terracotta cakes, beads, bangles, brick platforms, burial urns, vases, charred bones, tiles, rings, perforated jars, bull figurines, disc beads, buttons & copper objects!

Though he had no idea how old the artifacts were, Tessitori was dedicated & recorded all the evidence. Yet, inexplicably Kalibangan was IGNORED by ASI's Marshall & in 1923-24 the lies of Pakistan as the cradle of "Indus Valley civilization" with type site Harappa was born.

In December 1947, Hungarian British archaeologist Aurel Stein surveyed the area & read Tessitori's records, but reported there were no remains of Chalcolithic period. Stein who was fascinated with finding Greco-Buddhist traces of Alexander just didn't find Kalibangan worthy enough.

It was only after 1951, 4 years after Partition, that A. Ghosh carried out systematic explorations in the region & found 25+ mounds of "Harappan culture" of which Kalibangan stood out for its twin mound complex, which resembled the urban structures of Mohenjodaro & Harappa.

If the Kalibangan evidence of Tessitori in 1919 had been explored, we would call it Saraswati Valley Civilization today with a crucial extra detail, Kalibangan not only has all the elements of advanced urban design, plumbing, etc. but Fire altars in a ritual citadel & within homes too. Radiocarbon dating by ASI has verified that Kalibangan dates back to 3000 BCE.

Had Kalibangan been excavated thoroughly in 1920s, it would have been clear that the rituals of Vedic civilization were already an integral part of the SSC culture, & undermined the British lies of a mythical Aryan Invasion theory that has plagued Hindu history for far too long

2014 will be a land mark in India's history. Before 2014 & after. The way he is steering the country towards its civilizational roots from a deracinated india that he inherited in2014, is amazing & unparalleled. We are fortunate to have him lead us. @narendramodi @PMOIndia

[Savitri Mumukshu - सावित्री मुमुक्षु @MumukshuSavitri]

If historians like you are so "secular" and detached from religion then why insist on dating world history from the birth of Christ? Or does your secularism conveniently apply only to Hindus?

The problem isn't assumptions. Everyone has them. The problem is biased Western historians pretending only their assumptions are neutral. Your "secular" historiography lens is full of inherent biases against non-monotheist cultures. Why should Hindus accept it as the default framework to define our own civilizational heritage?

Instead of engaging in earnest dialogue - you've been busy imagining ideological motives & demonizing Hindutva without a clue about what it means. One need not be an "ethno-nationalist" to question whether modern academic interpretations of Indian history are complete, unbiased, or supported by the evidence.

The moment you attributed disagreement to identity instead of addressing arguments, you yourself shifted the gaze from history to ideology.

Hypocrite, question your own assumptions first.

[Pawan Kumar Gupta @pawangupt]

Absolutely. These fake historians need to be exposed forcehat they are - fake.
