Kamadhenu, chameleon, camel, and lion


Empathy and sympathy have no place in matters of discipline in defence ... force of morally upright, effective and righteous officers, the Delhi High Court has said ...

How many of the "LeLi"s, who criticised @narendramodi_in so severely & insensitively for wiping the feet of Safai Karamcharis will follow suit? Let's see how many give even 1/10th of what @narendramodi donated. How many will at least praise him for it (it's free, you know)! https://t.co/GkWRjM2UTY

"Economics is the study of the economy. That means it's the study of statistics and history, psychology, physics, and all kinds of other things. It’s a wonderful subject, but it does defy easy definitions."

US arms are MORE expensive than Russian arms.
USA is far LESS trustworthy for INDIA compared with Russia.
As long as Christian Church thinks Hinduism is devil-worship, USA will support Pakistan against INDIA, indirectly or directly.
@SwamyBhakt @Indirakkdi @fgautier26 @_blunty
NOT true, Sanjay Ji.
USA supports Pak against INDIA only for one reason.
I explained that many times before.
There is a simple remedy to it.
Church (& Illuminati) of the west think/profess Hinduism is devil-worship, Muslims are their spoiled brother. Hence, they support Pak against INDIA, seemingly or otherwise too. REMEDIES are plenty, of course akin to the teachings of great saints SeiAurobindo and TheMother. 1/n

One remedy: Majority of the white people in the west are REASONABLE, they do NOT think like indoctrinated/dogmatic Church. If Hindu saints preach Yoga, Hindu ways of invoking Divinity, they experience the beauty and get attracted into SanatanDharma easily like @mariawirth1  2/n

The fundamental reason for the Aryan Invasion Theory is to map the history of the various people of the world onto a common Biblical chronology, thereby justifying the intervention of God, i.e, the salvation by Jesus, as valid for all the peoples of the world.
This is the reason why European colonialists studied the historical record of all the tribes that they encountered, and tried to map them with the historical events in their own past e.g, the rule of Alexander the Great, which are already connected to Biblical chronology.
In other words, this endeavor is not a free blue-skies research, investigating where one's curiosity leads one to, but a systematic pattern-matching, and hunting for the names of Biblical kings or places in the literary and archeological record of other countries.
But can the western academia accept an independent Indian chronology ? This is far more threatening than any simple political motive. This is why uprooting the Aryan Invasion Propaganda is so hard. It will not be uprooted anytime soon. (End of thread)

This @NewYorker is an example of what ails the scholarship on India in general and Hinduism in particular. (1/4)

With the rise of the West, to quote Prof. Arvind Sharma, “the West became familiar with the religions of the Americas, Africa, and Asia and main mode of transmission about these religions became one from outsider to outsider...” (2/4)

This is worth reading. Churchill was a racist & bigot, but his remark that "Hindus are windbags", big on talk and low on results, is not entirely untrue. But what kind of Hindus were these? The ones that had access to Churchill's circles & collaborated with Brits....  1/2 https://t.co/roKXQXnVNV

Totalitarianism Threatens the Development of Human Potential https://t.co/fOctgNuRJu

That nationalism is flawed - and injurious to the growth of global human fraternity - which makes people think: 
"My nation is always right; and other nations that question or criticise us are always wrong."
Every nation must be open to honest introspection & self-correction.

28) On a Tour of Kashmir (iv):
Apart from Srinagar, the royal party also visited Achabal, Gulmarg & Ganderbal; and would return to Baroda via Murree & Lahore by October..
There was much friction b/w the Maharaja & #SriAurobindo during the tour & the experiment was not repeated: https://t.co/iRFhBjBbgK

How Friedrich Nietzsche used ideas from the Ancient Cynics to explore the death of God and the nature of morality https://t.co/1pHkK4wwhE https://t.co/BhSp2IkmMh

For Friedrich Nietzsche – steeped in the Classics – the Cynics, and the much later account of them in the gossipy collection of anecdotes The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers by Diogenes Laertius (no relation to Diogenes of Sinope), were attractive material long before he parted company with an academic career to practise a more abrasive public philosophy of his own. ‘Diogenes Laertiades’ was how Nietzsche signed himself in a letter to a friend in his late 20s: ‘son of Laertius’, or literally ‘sprung from Laertius’, ie from Diogenes Laertius. 

“For Manne, misogyny is a belief that women should act a certain way towards men. When they don’t, violence and cruelty are often directed towards the women to punish them or to bring them in line.” @paulbloomatyale on @kate_manne https://t.co/4KyKKhumsK

The Mother’s method is to heal with wholeness. The particular or the transitory has an importance of its own; but when compared to the larger reality, it is inconsequential... The Life Divine is the answer. But nowadays there are more writers than readers. https://t.co/IEZ5YeXZ2K

Sri Aurobindo takes trinity and adds Kamadhenu, the mythical cow of plenty. Speaking of camel and lion, the chameleon comes to the mind, which also symbolizes innovation... Kafka’s hibernation and metamorphosis. If Nietzsche comes, can Kafka be far behind? https://t.co/PHh9fQKcO1

The Two Negations: The Refusal of the Ascetic by Sri Aurobindo (LD) can be read along with What is the meaning of ascetic ideals? by Nietzsche (Genealogy of Morals) and Asceticism by Jeremy Bentham (Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation) https://t.co/fNEnSzRSkn

Thanks to Ken Wilber, many perceptive minds in the West are now aware of the Vedic Evolutionary ontology of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as a result of which teleology is no longer suspected or ridiculed. Schelling, Hegel, Bergson, Whitehead, and all down to Nagel stand reconciled.

It's damn catchy. It's going to join Apdi podu and naaku muka as one more token South Indian songs that even Delhi DJs will play.
