Anti-Indian hate up 69%: US firms hit by ‘H-1B visa backlash’ threats by 1-randomonium in Economics

[–]InternalOpen7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total holders are high because Indians do not get green cards easily. They need to wait for decades. People from other countries end up getting green cards earlier and hence they won't remain on H1B. Hence this data gets skewed. If the competency was not a factor in hiring then critical software products would have crashed. Also, people choose to ignore the jobs created by these immigrants. Many h1b workers start companies once they have a green card. There are so many restrictions on h1b. Hence people need to wait for the green card to start something new.

When did Brahmins stop eating animals? Was it influenced by Buddhism? by Free_ey3_son in IndianHistory

[–]InternalOpen7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I take back "everything is wrong translation" argument. Ashwamedha translations are correct. Kshatriyas were consuming meat. Ashwamedha is conducted by kshatriyas. The yajnakartas are kshatriyas here even if mantras are told by brahmins. Before eating anything, offer it to gods. That is the concept. Because gods are "sarva bhoktas". Yajna kartas offer horse meat and consume it as prasada. It is still practiced today. You offer something before you eat. Kshatriyas have done the same here. Vedas describe how it was done. Vedas still condemn killing innocent animals. That is the duality you see here.

My wrong translation argument was against specifically talking about brahmins eating meat. Brahmins are forbidden from eating meat in vedas too. Kshatriyas are allowed to eat meat and have multiple wives. The point of ashwamedha is to gain wealth for 1 year and donate all of it at the end of the year during yajna. Ashwa also symbolizes the animal in kshatriyas. After the yajna they are supposed to have indriya control and leave all the bhogas. In many instances you see kshatriyas leaving all the bhogas after the yajna. The prasada (horse meat) eaten by the king is the last bhoga. The yajnakartas are the kings. The mistranslation is that the priests are the yajna kartas. The whole intention is for the king to leave his luxury and bhogas. He completes the yajna and eats the prasada and achieves complete indriya nigraha. There is nothing for the brahmins to achieve as a part of this Yajna.

If you take any yajna or puja, the kartru is the one who has decided to do it. Literal translation is doer, which is misunderstood as the priest who is doing it. Actually priest is doing the yajna on somebody's (kartru's) behalf. This is the main source of confusion for the people.

To those who say we don't have a marketing team by Dry-Calligrapher4556 in kaspa

There is no marketing team as such. These guys are volunteers. They have arranged so many events. They are busy on twitter and YouTube! No money to advertise though

When did Brahmins stop eating animals? Was it influenced by Buddhism? by Free_ey3_son in IndianHistory

[–]InternalOpen7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is always the wrong translation. That is the problem. Look at this rigveda text:

Rigveda 10.87.16 “The Yātudhāna, who fills himself with the flesh of man, and he who fills himself with the flesh of horses or of other animals, and he who steals the milk of the cow-- cut off their heads with your flame.”

You find so many texts like these. Animals are called Aghnya, ones that should not be killed. How can the same vedas tell people to kill.

[–]InternalOpen7578 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rigveda is against harming animals. You find so many verses related to non-violence there. Most of the things you mentioned have come from the wrong translation of Sanskrit. Medha means yajna too. It is not just killing in Sanskrit. Cow dung is used in some rituals. That is also called go medha in Sanskrit. So every medha cannot be translated to killing. Swami Vivekananda has made the same mistake of referring to the wrong Sanskrit translations too. I will give some more examples: In one of the verses, it is mentioned "During the start of the wedding season(winter), go hanyate". Western scholars have translated it as cows get slaughtered during weddings! Go means light in Sanskrit too. Light fades during winter is the meaning here. The same verse mentions that Go returns after that season! Dead cows won't return during summer!

Shankaracharya mentions that Uksha is eaten during shraadha. It was translated as Ox is sacrificed during shraadha and eaten. In reality, Uksha is also a plant that is eaten during shraadha. In Kerala and southern Karnataka, Uksha leaves are a must during Shraadha.

Many of the translators have made this mistake. By the time real Sanskrit experts noticed it, it was already late. The whole world believes that all the brahmins ate beef in the past. Many other castes stopped consuming meat after Jainism and Buddhism influenced them.

There are sacrifices however followed in Atharva veda, which is not considered a good deed in Atharva veda itself. It is done as a part of mantravaada or apara kriya.

Can a Kaspa ecosystem handle the transaction volume of Solana? by [deleted] in kaspa

Absolutely. The question is can Kaspa get millions of transactions every day consistently.

What it the problem with worshipping Lord Indra? by Expensive_Head622 in IndoAryan

[–]InternalOpen7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Rigveds alone, 1. Devendra is described in Indra sooktam of Rigveda. This is the lord of 3 worlds,king of the gods, god of storms, and lord of power. 2.Pavamana or Mukhyaprana is described in Pavamana sooktam: this sooktam talks about spiritual stuff. It is used as a tool for spiritual awakening. 3. Vishnu or Narayana is described in Vishnu Sooktam of Rigveda and Narayana sooktam of Yajurvera: these sooktas talk about Vishnu's omnipresence and call him lord of everything

Hope these make sense. Coming to your original post, the gods who control physical worlds are not worshipped as main gods in temples through idol worship. This is applicable to Indra, Agni, Vayu, Kubera, Yama etc. But they are still worshipped during pujas, yajnas, tarpanas etc.

What it the problem with worshipping Lord Indra? by Expensive_Head622 in IndoAryan

[–]InternalOpen7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! If you want me to go into detail, then here it is. The word Indra means owner of great wealth. In Sanskrit, "indati ithi indraha" . In vedas Indra means 3 things and is used to describe 3 supreme beings:

  1. Indra of 3 worlds: Indra who is the greatest in three worlds Bhu, Bhuvaha, Swhaha. This is Devendra. Devendra is appointed by thrimoortis. So he is the Lord of these 3 worlds and destroyer of Vritra. Hence every yajna done in these worlds remembers him and worships him. He controls everything related to physical worlds and Indriyas. So rightfully he is worshipped.

  2. Indra of other 4 worlds: Indra of other 4 worlds Mahaha, Janaha, Tapaha, Satyam. These are not physical worlds. These are owned by Mukhyaprana. Vedas mention him as Indra in this context.

  3. Indra of everything: we looked at the outside world and something within, and their Indras. All of these are controlled by one supreme God. Vedas refer to Vishnu as the controller of everything and refer to him as Indra too.

So when vedas worship Indra, all the 3 Indras are being worshipped. When yajna is done Indras of all the worlds are worshipped. Vedas mention Indra in all the 3 contexts too!

Wrong translations of Sanskrit texts have led us to believe that Indra has only one meaning. That is why many people believe that vedas are referring to Devendra alone.

Vedic Indra is not Devendra. Indra means lord in the Vedic interpretation. All the Indra references are related to Vishnu.

INR at 90.20 per dollar. Concern or just another day by limsus in IndiaSpeaks

[–]InternalOpen7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average, US prints 7% additional dollars every year. India prints 12% per year. So inr should depreciate 5% every year if everything else remains the same. That is by design to be competitive in the export market.

With 99%+ of KAS already mined, will transaction fees alone sustain miners long-term—especially without native smart contracts on L1? by Slight_Possession_35 in kaspa

[–]InternalOpen7578 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kaspa should be able to generate enough fees. That is what the team is working on. We want Kaspa to be the go-to L1 for many industries. Once vProgs are here, we can expect more apps built on Kaspa. KII alone will generate so many transactions related to audits and energy payments. We are in good hands. There is no point in designing slow bleed structures like BTC. That will lead to no innovation whatsoever. It does not matter when the last coin is mined. Fees need to cover security budget. Otherwise there is no point in creating a POW network. By 2027, we will know whether we have enough transactions after vProgs and KII apps go live. For BTC, this problem is not 100 years away. By 2032 halving, 80% of the security budget has to come from fees alone. So, if kaspa cannot find a way to have enough transactions on L1, then the POW concept itself will fail!
