The three is just used to transliterate ayin (ﻉ) since it looks like a three only backwards. It's generally only used in chat alphabets, I'm just lazy and I don't want to have to use the backwards apostrophe symbol, and the three helps save me the trouble of copying and pasting the...
It's okay, when I think of kalama I don't think of the kAlAmA people from the kesamuttisuttam in the mUlatipiTaka either. When I think of kalama, the first thing that comes to mind is the Arabic word qalam, which means pen. More specifically, what comes to mind is how the wretched pedo-nabi...
It's okay though, knowledge of Indian history doesn't really matter. In my opinion, it your bhAva that matters. For example, that f*t Indologist, Wendy Doniger, has a lot of knowledge of Indian history and even about Indian scriptures, but she's a shivadveShiNI who compares shiva to a serial...
I'm honestly not that good with history, especially not with memorizing dates (for example, I couldn't tell you whether the Anandagotrika sAmarAjyam came before or after the pUrva chAlukyaru), so I'm often as clueless as you when it comes to the nitty-gritty facts and what not. I like "history"...
You people are all fundies. How dare you deny that Jesus fulfilled the thousand year old prophesy? Haven't you also heard that:
1)The Jews call him (Jesus) a good rabbi and an advanced kabbalist and the Hindus call him a yogI and sAdhu.
2) Hindu gods are fake (purely out of reasoning).
3)...
Wait, so do you mean that my question is stupid, or do you agree that Parpola's conclusion makes little sense?
Has there ever been a language where the longest inscription found of that language is less than 20 characters?
Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one upset by CC's troll posts where he states his "philosophical" position no matter how offensive and classifies those who disagree on shAstrik grounds as fundamentalists...
You're still missing the point. Even if he did believe in AIT, why would the so-called "nomadic Aryans" call the Indus Valley people uncivilized? Also, I find it odd that people who think that the Indus script is an actual script (like Parpola) even have any credibility anymore. The longest...
This provides a different etymology
Proto-South Dravidian : *mal-
Meaning : fertile, rich
Dravidian etymology: Dravidian etymology
Tamil : mal
Tamil meaning : fertility, richness, strength
Tamil derivates : malar (-v-, -nt-) to abound, become full; mali (-v-, -nt-) to abound, be plentiful, be...
Still, if they were civilized, then why would they call themselves mleccha? That seems awfully counter-intuitive; mleccha is used to refer to uncivilized people like medieval Turks and that sort, never as a self-identifier. :eek:
Although, I agree that mel can probably mean high rather than...
I would think mel agam would mean over a house. This sounds stupid, using this logic, one could allege the Malayali word maligha (palace) is connected to the Semitic root m-l-k (from which mAlik in Arabic and malku in akkadian come from), which refers to a king.
The amount of covering up done is pathetic...:facepalm:
This was his actual opinion of women:
"I am terribly scared of women. I see them as a tigress coming to devour me. Besides, I see large pores [cf. vagina symbols] in their limbs. I find all of them as ogres. If my body is touched by a woman...
Why are you writing "baqwaas" rather than "bakwaas" for nonsense, it should be the latter since it's written as बकवास/بکواس and not as बक़वास/بقواس.
You still haven't answered my question. How exactly would you determine if someone is "Hindu born"?
Edit: Was the daitya prahlAda "Hindu-born" in your view?
Ironic you say that, because the kR^iShNachAlIsA in my siggy literally has a refrain which says "jaya jaganandana jaya jagavandana asura nikhandana jaya" (victory to the gladdener of the world, victory to he who is praised by the world, victory to the slayer of asura-s/demons) and kR^iShNa, of...
I agree; Hinduism(luvs)Krishna's obsession with birth is ridiculously stupid and probably very offensive to so-called non-"Hindu-born" (to use his terminology) people like you, shivafan, NYK, and others. Besides, how could you tell online if someone is "Hindu born" anyway, and what about...
