@priestlyclass Bhishma always knew. For example, he tells Shishupula to stop because he’s insulting the Lord, not just a king named Krishna. But yeah, just imagine - if even he could not turn his back on family to fight alongside God, can’t even imagine regular people choosing to do right

This is untrue. Sanātana Dharma is first used in the Rig Veda.

-Rig Veda 3.3.1: agnirhi devāṃ amṛto duvasyaty athā dharmāṇi sanatā na dūduṣat

Meaning ...Agni the Immortal serves the Deities, and therefore never breaks their everlasting laws (dharmāṇi sanatā).

It is also used copiously across the Itihāsa as well as other scriptures.

My point highlighting the use of Sanātana Dharma in the Dhammapada was rather to show the non-sectarian nature of early Indian religion, something even Chinese Buddhist pilgrims note frequently as many Buddhist majority areas in the Subcontinent still kept Vedic rite & ritual. While Hindu areas and kings would exalt Buddha as well.

Syncretism was the default (and still is today I'd say).

In this essay, @Hindumachiavel examines the democratic element from Athens and Rome to modern India, arguing that genuine popular sovereignty requires more than periodic elections. Drawing upon Aristotle, Machiavelli, and the Swiss constitutional model, it reflects on the relationship between direct participation, constitutional order, and national greatness.

@drishtadyumn Yeah, it’s just my conspiracy right now. Dems are talking about it. They’re the ones who want censorship and RealID tied to Internet access

@Gengar_Grin @HPhobiaWatch Everyone but Turks knows that they are all Greeks. They were all part of Hellenic civilization once upon a time, hence why Troy is in Turkey

@SudsG5 @Go_Movie_Mango Tangentially: is there any good reference about ancient Indian alcohols? Theres a great market for elevated desi spirits - for example, how did they make madira back in the day?

[Decentralized Dharma @dharmadecentral]

Apparently Indians will do this for literally anyone as long as they hate India

@priestlyclass It will never happen because it’s not currently in Indian culture. The Chinese were primed for dictatorship through 4000 years of an Emperor. The CCP is the same thing. Even during Ashoka or even Aurangzeb, the entire country did not have one leader
