    Hindus should restart worshipping Indra

    "You are such a hindutvavAdI terrorist! Those poor, poor mujahideen, they're so oppressed by the Indian government which doesn't let them steal the land for "Allah." The only way they can vent their anger is by butchering kashmIrI paNDits in cold blood, so we should let them do that. The people...

    Hindus should restart worshipping Indra

    I'm not strawmanning you, I just find it odd that you find the murder of a lion to be very disgusting when much worse massacres of animals take place daily. You're not wrong, it's somewhat disgusting; it's just that I've met some Westerners who consider the consumption and torture of dogs in...

    Hindus should restart worshipping Indra

    The pedo-nabi wasn't even born in the 6th century when the bhAgavatapurANam (which has the most detailed description of the lifting of govardhanaparvata) is considered to have been written by Indologists, so how could there be Islamic influence? Also, the viShNuparva of the harivaMsham doesn't...

    Hindus should restart worshipping Indra

    Sorry for responding to a comment you posted over six months ago, but what makes the murder of one lion any more disgusting than the murder of millions of chicken, pigs, and cows (which takes place yearly across the globe)? Shouldn't the latter be more reprehensible?

    is hinduism a faith or a philosophy ?

    Dang, and you blame me for calling out bAhlikAmlec*ha over on H*F, yet now this? How hypocritical! Just kidding...:p

    Bad news :(

    Oh, you're making me feel like crying, although I realize that my sympathy won't really help... The world can be so harsh sometimes.:(

    India Just Got More Dangerous

    Speaking of Australian animals, do these Koalas look like they're mating or is that just me?:

    India Just Got More Dangerous

    Well, India and Pakistan aren't even a part of the Middle East (you seem to be implying that Indians and Pakistanis are Middle-Easterners). This is the Middle East (dunno why they didn't include Yemen though): This is South Asia (I like this map because it displays all of kashmIr as apart of...

    Aww :sad4:...I remember what you told me about what happened to your other child. Now this? I hope everything gets better. )( I can't imagine how hard it would be to deal with the loss of two children...

    Question for person familiar with Vedic...

    praNAm nirmala, Your question is a bit off topic, but yes you can light a lamp and do your pUjA in your bedroom as long as you set a place aside for it and don't do anything stupid or dangerous (e.g. you shouldn't be waving a AratI thAlI around while in bed or near cloths).

    Question for person familiar with Vedic...

    Grammatically, that doesn't necessarily make sense, as agnaye, bhUtebhyaH, brahmaNe, uda~NkyAya, shUlvAnAya, shatru~njayAya, etc. are all in chaturthi vibhaktiH. How does given "by fire" make sense to you if it's written as agnaye and not agninA? I think it's saying "Now of this, I entrust you...

    Question for person familiar with Vedic...

    I came across the following verse in the kaushikasUtram and it doesn't seem to make sense to me, although that might be because the language in the verse is very complex in terms of literary quality and quite repetitive in structure. Therefore, could anyone here translate the following for me...

    India Just Got More Dangerous

    What does varNAshrama have to do with being middle class? In case you didn't know, brAhmaNa-s on average aren't exactly richer than other caste groups: 4k65p7H-44Y Meh, perhaps some but not all. bhAratiya-s do have an obsession with bargaining though, although I'm not sure if that's what you're...

    India Just Got More Dangerous

    Yeah, and what shocks me even more is that bhAratiya government officials spend crores on rupees on stuff like politics or Mars missions and what not, yet don't ever think of using that money to distribute among the 60% or so who make less than $2 a day. It's funny how the average annual income...

    Three steps of Lord Vishnu

    You're not a git, you're very intelligent. Meh, this makes me feel like drinking coffee.... He didn't write it though, he quoted it from Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

    Three steps of Lord Vishnu

    Well, actually he was pleased with bali and allowed him to rule over the nether-regions, not necessarily to suffer ("sends him straight to hell" reads as if it has a negative connotation). However, he does step on the head of bali: No problemo...:)

    Three steps of Lord Vishnu

    vAmana is the avatAra and bali is the demon (see 4:33-5:30)... ZSfyWJJP-QE
