" Unlike the Semitic religions which focus on a transcendent all-powerful God, the underlying focus of the Wisdom Traditions of the East, Dao, #Buddhism, #Jainism and #Hinduism, are the energies within the human body" #dharma

Thank you, .@ChakraNews.  I spoke for our people, but I also want us to speak for all peoples whose cultures have been eradicated/in danger of being eradicated. #CulturalReclamation. https://t.co/iWymjC33hh

From yesterday have been reading (rather revising) Angus Maddison’s masterpiece again. And trust me @ReallySwara & @iamrana with other Mughal apologists are going to get some good schooling on economic history of India. https://t.co/siLjW9uN1M

In Japan,  we have best preserved India's Golden Age - where we indeed honor the Indian devas, siddham,  & traditions - but under the banner of Mahayana Buddhism where there are many devas & Buddha is devatideva or God of gods.  Kannon (Lokeshwara) is all gods merged into one! https://t.co/s0D5RNCQBq

May I recommend Irfan Habib’s The Agrarian Economy of Mughals to Ashish Joshi and @iamrana ? The name of the author sounds right ? Good, now, read his tome to see what the “rich” Mughal empire meant for common people. Death by starvation, very often. https://t.co/Qpdwrj5BYh

I have read it. I'm afraid you, though, have not read any of the voluminous research on this. While monarchy can be rapacious (French, Russian AND Mughal), not all monarchy is as rapacious - esp cruel was of course Aurangzeb (his endless wars needed endless extortion of money). https://t.co/zuR4SJxOEX

When people say we reject 'leather' to respect Hinduism, they reveal they don't know that Hindu god Shiva, the great Mahadeva, wears tiger hide and elephant hide, and rishis sit on deer skin. https://t.co/YCXNHvBvi0

Respecting Muslim personal law extended to non-muslims takes away huge leverage in legal powers that courts have over "redistribution" of wealth, and will reduce the turnover of non-judge professionals involved in keeping the litigation machinery running.

UCC will be "talked" abt very sincerely I suppose, but just dont expect it to be seriously worked at - its simply too contradictory for the trajectory built up for the Indian state since independence.

Can someone explain why did the Indian Supreme Court pass an order for entry of women to Sabarimala, about a year ago, and decline to even entertain a PIL for entry of women into mosques? When will India EVER become a country where ALL religions are EQUAL before law? When?

https://twitter.com/HindolSengupta/status/1148988731740889088?s=19

Mark my words - this sort of thing will only polarise society in India, as it has all these years, even more. For India's pluralism to survive and thrive, we desparately need systems, processes and laws which are EQUAL for EVERYONE. https://t.co/KvpitDjoxB

“This is the most important political takeaway from the way Modi has run his economy. He has taken from those in the middle to give to those at the bottom, and both are voting for him with equal enthusiasm.” https://t.co/IETSXIeKnJ

@ShekharGupta nails the politics astutely.

If you imagine the jiva is a manifestation of the divine, it raises the experience to a whole new level. Animals & plants can provide an amazing meditative experience.

Finished @UnamPillai s “the courtesan,”  easy read, caters to short attention spans like mine and what’s more lends itself to re reading and can pick up from anywhere and read! The illustrations are fab .. 1/2

My review of Ian McEwan's new novel 'Machines Like Me', also his least self-consciously literary work in years, which doesn't push the science fiction envelope or ask any new questions but manages to engage and entertain in equal measure. For @scroll_in. https://t.co/iuqZoOJ0XN

Now read @tca_tca on the distinction between economists and economic thinkers.  Adam Smith wasn’t an economist.  He was more an economic thinker.

Both Maharishi Valmiki and Veda Vyasa who wrote Ramayana and Mahabharata were neither the writers of History Books nor Mythological Epics. Both were wise sages and great writers of Metaphysics (divine Knowledge). Ramayana and  Mahabharata are VEDAS Re-told  @pksabhlok

Vedas are the only scriptures which provide divine guidance for good governance, liberalism, bottom up Democracy with Sabha and Vidhata in each village/temple, international trade, Fraternity and Freedom to bring City of God (Ramarajya) on our divine Planet.. Revive Vedas truthfully.

Everyone's opinion will obviously vary but Bengali victimhood clouds the overall picture. However, only one opinion matters in the matter: that's of Sri Aurobindo. Accepting his insights with humility is the only sane option. Emotions and arguments have no place before it. Thanks

Many thanks for such a principled stand which will go a long way in cleaning the public sphere.

With Twitter, one can't be alone. Lots of people around, lots of ideas and concerns. No chance of any disenchantment; no scope for any despondency.

Modern civilisation has prevented people to look at women and instead sends them to museums and art galleries to see their portrayal in metal, stone, or paintings. Movies are also kosher for watching them on screen. So, everyone is glued to phone in Metro. https://t.co/UmRHMiorIi

If one is genuinely interested in understanding the pattern behind rise and fall of religions or civilisations for that matter, then reading The Human Cycle by Sri Aurobindo is absolutely necessary. He predicts demise of all religions by increasing power of ideal of human unity.
