I read that people try to equate Sunya with Brahman, this is not correct, Sunya is the same as sushupti, its the realm of purified chitta or consciousness free from awareness of mental and physical phenomenon
Sunya is not void or empty, its the region of awareness where the chitta vrittis are purified by ways of chitta training in ways of samadhi. Sunya is not Brahman, Brahman enters pure consciousness to reveal Self, sunya is pure consciousness.
Sunya is prajna~ is sushupti
Why is Tathagatha synonymous with Brahman, some basic etymology of the compound tathagatha
Tat~that agartha means having arrived at gata and agata is also in the compound meaning all pervasive

Assorted tweets for general information:
Evolution is bhautika theory. Consciousness is dicey term (when dealing scientific prism).
Science “believes” that chètanā in life arose spontaneously when few jaDa molecules of RNA and lipids etc randomly interacted in extremely improbable manner to give rise to life.
Sita’s censure of Rama in Valmiki’s Ramayana finds no place in Doordarshan's
version of the tale, or in other popular adaptations. Her recent incarnations in a more assertive guise, as in Sita Sings
the Blues, have prompted Hindu—and primarily male—anger.
To reduce instances of perceived moral lapse in Valmiki’s version, especially regarding Rama’s interactions with Sita, premodern Indians often rewrote the epic.

The Avatar Vs The Prophet. @Sanjay_Dixit ‘s New Book Krishna Gopeshvara is an important literary attempt to look at the life of Sri Krishna as told in Bhagavata from the perspective of the clash of religions as is happening in India right now. https://t.co/TK2mAWy4Nr
An Avatar emerges whereas the prophet is imposed; the new novel by @Sanjay_Dixit reads Krishna's life through the Avataric resistance to expansionist monocultural cult. https://t.co/B7YF1DiePt via @swarajyamag
Fro the vantage point of Vedas, Ishwara is both instrument cause as well as material cause of the universe, hence He doesn't need a prophet to talk to his creation.When He manifest Himself, being material cause, inside his creation, it's called Avatra. 1/n

Whew, packed weekend. A pre-launch tour of the second edition of my book "The English Medium Myth" starting with my talk at Google HQ in Mountain View, CA. Lunch at the cafeteria was curd rice. :) Yes, Google HQ with Hindi slides! (Talk was in English though.) https://t.co/sjEOLAS59a
On Thursday, met with friend Dr. Kundan Singh at the Cultural Integration Fellowship in San Francisco, inspired by Sri Aurobindo. Presented him with #UrbanNaxals. Read his critique of Left fascism on @IndiaFactsOrg.

No room for Hindutva, temple issues in 2019 LS. All talks of BJP being a Hindu party needs to end here. Let’s see if any other party has the imagination to step into the obvious void https://t.co/lTPq51jkaG
I don't think Modi govt has done outstanding work in any front nor there is clarity on any policy issue. That it came to power on its own and is somehow carrying on should be a matter of satisfaction as far as revivifying Democracy is concerned. Therefore, needed its second term.

Though I disagree with Darwin's theory & subscribe to Sri Aurobindo's, the reasoning you give is incorrect. Your logic is like saying: If adult emerges from child, then why do we still see children around? Please read Darwin, then figure out your reason for rejecting. https://t.co/wVRlsBHg18
Every attempt to overturn this theory to demonstrate in the laboratory that it must be substantially reworked – and there have been many over the past 50 years – has failed. https://t.co/KLQ13o7loE

It is unacceptable that India is continuing to criminalize gay sex. This harrassment of people for their private lives needs to stop. Completely against Dharma for the state to harass people for their sexuality. https://t.co/rZ6wgnQZH3
Decriminalizing is the first step. But removing the social stigma is much harder. But I hope there will come a day when young kids wil never be bullied for being gay. And adults can lead professional lives with dignity despite being gay or transgender. Families need to accept.

This is the polar opposite of "Hindi is derived from Sankrit". Both are incorrect and designed to cleave Hindi and Urdu.
Fact: Hindi and Urdu are literary registers of the same language (Khari Boli/Hindustani/the native language of the Delhi region)

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose,
From her blind unwilling substance must emerge
A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
