Sri Aurobindo, Brockway, and Kenyatta

You can't make this stuff up. PRC describes itself as Caesar to Australia's Brutus when calls were made for an independent inquiry into origins of Covid-19."It is approximately identical to Julius Caesar in his final day when he saw Brutus approaching him."https://t.co/mouCw2ucs5

Karan Johar the main culprit of movie mafia! @PMOIndia even after ruining so many lives and careers he is roaming free no action taken against him, is there any hope for us? After all is settled he and his gang of hyenas will come for me #ReportForSSR

Watched this surreal thing: The Swimmer (1968), based on John Cheever’s darkly poignant #shortstory that first appeared in @NewYorker in 1964. A dismantling suburban beauty in #technicolor.

Just finished reading. What a wonderful book. The thesis is amazing. What I got out of it most was an exciting plethora of new voices to explore Aurobindo, Brockway, Kenyatta just to name a couple. https://t.co/1RUBCa9Hoz

Jobs are lost and businesses suffered due to the damn #ChineseVirus . But most of all the humanity lost the simple joys of a coffee with friends or meeting people without panicking about virus. The joys of travelling and happiness of being carefree. Will the world be same?

Sikh royal history is no doubt filled with the spoiled & the sycophantic — but also includes many decent rulers and a select few who worked as leaders in the Sikh community. These would probably be my favorites (so far):
Ranjit Singh
Bikram Singh
Ripudaman Singh
Yadavindra Singh https://t.co/hrTpKo5yE7

IT Minister @rsprasad calls out staff bias at @Facebook which is increasingly captive to censorship by anti-democracy, anti-#FreeSpeech radical #LeftLiberal #Antifa type activists on its rolls. The platform is now the bully pulpit of Leftists, Islamists, Anarchists and Hatists. https://t.co/HwN0a34NZk

This Con commentariat class is hilarious. After voluntarily signing up for a debate on national TV (for possibly few 1000 bucks) they try to sound so sanctimonious. Dozens of daily debate on economics happens in TV/web that one can watch

A Hindu shrine in Gaya by Thomas Daniell
The shrine was likely rebuilt by local villagers and they embedded old sculptures and inscription into wall of temple. Note sacred grove. Such sacred groves were almost commonplace in Hindu temples unfortunately not taken care of nowadays. https://t.co/NO9jplCTU0

I periodically see arguments about how Rāvana, Mahābali or some other Asura in Purānic stories is a Brahmin. The arguments are often given as counter to colonial/missionary propaganda of racist theories that infested the humanities, that Hindu Purānas describe a racial struggle.
Thanks for this discussion with @naman_it who forced me to explain why exotic races like Asuras don’t have Varna, and why the Mlēccha societies amongst humans don’t have it either.

Previously, I discussed the Adhyātmika elements in Rāmayana. Nothing here is arbitrary, even the names of characters.

This way of looking at the Purānas is a key part of Hindu scholarship. This Adhyātmic aspect, or the Adhidaivika aspect, shouldn’t be removed from the stories.
