in the same bhāgavata purāṇa the very final lesson that śuka tells parīkṣit to internalise:
“अहं ब्रह्म” परं धाम ब्रह्माहं परमं पदम्

When Shivaji went to war against his half brother Vyankoji (Ekoji I) who ruled Thanjavur he wrote this letter to him. Also compared him to Duryodhana
Vyankoji's wise wife Dipambika (Dipabai) Ingle effected a compromise between bros & fired the Mohammedans
This merit whining is such bullshit. My two brothers & I all cleared BITSAT engineering entrance (supposedly the toughest pvt engg exam) just because we got good schooling & coaching.
90%+ children do not get that, esp Dalits & most OBCs. The merit myth is built on their backs.
Raitas shouldn't comment on traditional Hindu rituals they know little about, there's no magic Vedic ritual that can change your caste. Hiranyagarbha is one of many Mahadanas inferred in Hindu scriptures, to perform it, one must be a Kshatriya or Dwija in the first place. 🧵 1/4
@Aadii009 oohh. it’s from satchitanandendra saraswati, no wonder. a co-student of chandrashekhara bharati and they used to say after sureshvaracharya, there was only one person (him) who truly understood shankara’s teachings
who has approached the gurus? anthropic reached out to the vatican not the other way around.
as an aside, abhinava vidyatirtha swamiji would have kept himself informed and would have certainly opined on the current scientific/technological developments as he once had.
@halleyji my only regret is where are our spiritual gurus opining or guiding this conversation?
unfortunately focus of our mutts is largely on being faithful tape recorders instead of shaping the direction of technology which downstream affects everything else in society
@guNagarbhaH amma is unaware about categories. she asked about it, so the lady said “are you general, obc, sc, st?”. amma asked what all that was, arent they all hindu? lady immediately replied sc-st are non-hindus.
so mother said we are brahmins, and so the lady ticked “others”.
@PriynathBenares@Ugrashravas raman was an atheist so he probably was not doing karmkaand. he was in kolkata, true; but his team was entirely south indian. that was one reason meghnad saha was really angry at him for.
Tragic scenes from Dubare Elephant Camp in Kodagu.
A clash between Dasara elephants Kanjan and Jai Marthanda triggered panic among tourists at the Cauvery river bathing point, leading to the death of a tourist from Chennai.
Serious questions are now being raised over tourist safety protocols at elephant camps.

In medieval India, if a criminal converted to Islam, his crimes were automatically pardoned, as well as his debts or any other obligations.
A blanket immunity.
