Alongside that awe though that non-Hindus/Vedics feel is something disingenuous as well that’s happening which Hindus need to understand and speak up about: Hindu/Vedic concepts, tenets, ideals are being stolen, apppropriated, while Hindus are still being ridiculed, ignored, etc.

Without taking sides, I've yet to hear a convincing explanation from those who claim this is tradition, when pre-1972 or so, women were allowed into the temple. How far do you go in defining tradition? This tradition seems to be a recent provenance.

Quoting mythology to justify something in the temporal world opens up the doors to so much mischief that I am astounded it is being attempted by such erudite people. You may have a valid point, but think of all the larger implications of what you are doing.
The revered scriptures do not lack for mythology to justify anything & every thing we now consider unacceptable. By opening these doors you are doing precisely what the mullas did in Pakistan to reduce its constitution to scrap of paper, if that.
Smart points in a debate are often not the wise ones. If you want an exemption at least seek it quietly in a court, not by backing lumpen & hoodlums on the streets. Do you realize what you are validating?

#_P_G_ | @PrafullGoradia : Th Hindu ethos considers th individual as supremely important. Society & the state exist for the individual ... Self actualisation (self improvement or fulfilment), rather than social performance, is the central theme of Hinduism

A Hindu is one who accepts as the primary aim of life the discovery of the Divine in himself &, as a consequence of that discovery, to realize the Divine in the universe. Temples, mantras, shastras, rituals, festivals, traditions etc are all imp in their own place but secondary.
https://twitter.com/viryavaan/status/1061307886494760960?s=19
Even the Gita, in verse 18:45, affirms that the facilitation of this quest for the discovery of inner divinity lay at the core of the Hindu social order. "Sve sve karmany abhiratah samsiddhim labhate narah" (18:45) Happily pursuing each his own vocation all men attain the Divine. https://t.co/MYLGfgPkre

5th Nov- The Gita stands somewhere in between the Vedic Rishis’ robust attitude to life and the recoil from it which Buddhism, Jainism, & Advaita Vedanta systematized, & which, in Sri Aurobindo’s view, was to be responsible for much of India’s degeneration.https://t.co/9m52AySRaA

Modern India is inextricably indebted to the Judeo-Christian/European culture and hence identifying oneself as Hindu is adulterated. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have further cemented it for the future. Building on those shared values is as important as inviting foreign investment.

Sri Aurobindo once went to Pondicherry Railway Station to see Sarojini off. Amrita(?) remarked how full of love he is to which Sri Aurobindo replied with same love he can plunge a knife onto the disciple. (From memory; unable to locate reference. Not to confuse as Sarojini Naidu)

Sri Aurobindo wrote profusely to produce a firm and robust intellectual anchorage which is extremely useful in countering diverse speculative thought emanating from the West. Similarly because of him one needn't stagnate at the level of Vivekananda, Gandhi, Savarkar, or Ambedkar.

Kautilya & Plato were very nearly contemporaneous. The Republic & the Arthashastra are just as contemporaneous as are their respective authors. Both describe similar paterfamilias based societies that has coalesced from kula/tribal mode to city states b/c of the need 2 trade.

We come into this world hardwired for a tribal existence where our own - family, kula, tribe, religion, come before all else. It is a good evolutionary trait that helped us survive in the past. But it evolves more slowly than our culture does. https://t.co/x4dXhIV4ge
Over the 5000 years of recorded history, our DNA hasn’t changed much. If we have evolved at all over last 5000 years, it is in terms of culture not DNA. And culture is passed on from generation to generation by acculturation & education, not DNA.
Family acculturation can never be secular. It has to be a family first experience. Just as you don’t operate a capitalistic system of rewards & punishment at home. U privilege equal treatment regardless of merit. So family values prevail over all else as they should.
The idea of a secular state is non-intuitive. If not taught properly in schools, you can only learn it thru personal experience. Which is why you will always regress to something less than a secular state if you neglect education. We have no proper education 4 half our people.

The idea of technology-out-of-control is used to obscure the fact that liberalism/capitalism has no standards. Technological development and liberalism/capitalism are falsely conflated so that you’ll think ‘intervening’ to stop bad uses of tech will undermine tech progress.
