At night, Vidyasagar practiced spiritual disciplines—Vedantic meditation + Tantric compassion rituals. He never revealed this side publicly, but it shaped his fierce inner strength
Vidyasagar’s legacy isn’t only widow remarriage or schools. It’s the invisible revolution he planted: the idea of mental freedom. The hidden rebel who taught Bengal (and India) to think fearlessly.

Just picked up Sri Aurobindo's The philosophy of the upanishads. Very approachable for casual reading and unlike other Sri Aurobindo's works, one doesn't need to re-read each sentence 15 times!

Reading Sri Aurobindo totally transformed my views on education.

Rudra: In Vedic literature, Rudra is a fierce and destructive deity associated with storms, howling winds, and healing. Over time, in the Purāṇas, Rudra is identified as a form or aspect of Śiva, often emphasizing his fierce, destructive, or primal qualities.

Sri Aurobindo explored occultism as an extension of his integral yoga philosophy, viewing it as the knowledge and proper use of hidden natural forces, rather than mere magic or supernatural mechanisms.
He discussed occult forces in his writings, such as The Life Divine, emphasizing their role in bringing deeper truths into human life and warning against misuse for personal power.

In <Better to Have Gone>, Akash Kapur weaves a poignant tale of love, loss, and the quest for utopia in Auroville. Exploring the mysterious deaths of his wife’s parents, Kapur blends memoir and history to reveal the human cost of idealism. A haunting, sad story. #OneDayOneBook

For decades, leftist-liberal falsehoods have painted #PseudoHindutva RSS traitors as pro-Hindu, deceiving gullible Hindus into voting BJP to power.

Just as a bird is hardwired to fly and weave nests, or a spider to spin a web, humans are hardwired to acquire language. From this angle, differences are trivial. Sameness is biological destiny.
Yes, this claim has been very controversial and for decades has received a lot of scrutiny. Yet the generative grammar school of thought (Chomskyan School of Thought) still remains one of the dominant fields in linguistics.
LLMs are inherently more poets and writers than scholars. Ask it to quote verses from anything - it'll think it is easier to create one new verse and bluff than search or remember original verses

True. I think it is becoming more human; cooking up stuff with confidence and blaming others when grilled.

People frequently claim that whatever else LLMs show, they cannot be creative. I think this is exactly backwards. All that LLMs can be is creative. LLMs are by their nature far more creative than human beings because many constraints that bind humans don't bind machines.
What autoregressive LLMs don't (and by themselves *cannot*) have is a notion of truth or factuality and of reasoning.
Whether and how this affects their creativity, I don't know.
LLMs are creative. LLMs cannot reason. New paradigms of AI are necessary for reasoning.

Finished reading Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.
The virtue of selfishness and objectivism makes sense in the context of the novel; I'm a bit skeptical about how it'll work out in real life. The concept of self itself is subjective, can selfishness then be objective? Not sound.
