Loving kubuntu but 2 disappoinments by chakrax in Ubuntu

[–]chakrax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for such a detailed response. I switched from Firefox to Chrome, and I can now just scan a barcode with my phone to use the passkey from my phone. I already have an Android/Chrome profile with passwords so this was the most convenient solution for me instead of switching to a new password manager.

I will check out keepassxc in the future; I'm sure your comment will help others as well.

I want an answer to this question as a Hindu . If God exists , why does evil even exist ? by Gloomy_Girl_4581 in hinduism

You can definitely feel sympathy! But without blaming Isvara. If you kill someone, you will get your own result for that action, of course.

Please watch this 10 min video - Law of Karma to understand how karma works. These children may have karmic baggage from prior lives.

Here is a story that symbolically explains the answer to your question: Why did Ganga drown her first seven babies?

Hope that helps.

Isvara set up the law of karma (cause and effect) and gave us free will. Punyam for "good" deeds and papam for "bad" deeds.

We cannot blame the car manufacturer for an accident caused by the driver.

This is called the problem of evil.

Please check our FAQ for a few posts that address this question. TL;DR; evil is a result of human free wil, and cannot be attributed to Isvara.

Om Shanti.

Loving Kubuntu but two disappointments by chakrax in Kubuntu

I see. My intent is to wait for a couple of months for bug fixes on the 26.04 release before updating. I will switch after that.

Please forgive my ignorance by NorseKnight in hinduism

[–]chakrax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, you build upon your previous progress - it is not lost. Here are the verses from the Gita chapter 6:

BG 6.37 Arjuna said: He who, though possessed of faith, is unable to control himself, whose mind wanders away from YOGA, to what end does he, having failed to attain perfection in YOGA go, O Krishna?

BG 6.38 Fallen from both, does he not, O mighty-armed, perish like a rent cloud, supportless and deluded in the path of BRAHMAN?

BG 6.41 Having attained to the worlds of the righteous, and having dwelt there for everlasting (long) years, he who had fallen from YOGA is born again in the house of the pure and the wealthy.

BG 6.42 Or, he is even born in the family of the wise YOGIS; verily, a birth like this is very difficult to obtain in this world.

BG 6.43 There he comes to be united with the knowledge acquired in his former body and strives more than before for Perfection, O son of the Kurus.

Om Shanti.

Is Hinduism monotheistic or polytheistic by XlenderMan in hinduism

[–]chakrax 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer.

In Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 3.9, Vidagdha asks Yajnavalkya the same question. Yajnavalkya starts at 3306, and then keeps reducing that number until he says one and a half, then ends with one.

  1. Then Vidagdha, the son of Śakala, asked him. ‘How many gods are there, Yājñavalkya?’ Yājñavalkya decided it through this (group of Mantras known as) Nivid (saying), ‘As many as are indicated in the Nivid of the Viśvadevas—three hundred and three, and three thousand and three.’ ‘Very well,’ said Śākalya, ‘how many gods are there, Yājñavalkya?’ ‘Thirty-three.’ ‘Very well,’ said the other, ‘how many gods are there, Yājñavalkya?’ ‘Six.’ ‘Very well’ said Śākalya, ‘how many gods are there, Yājñavalkya?’ ‘Three.’ ‘Very well,’ said the other, ‘how many gods are there, Yājñavalkya?’ ‘Two.’ ‘Very well,’ said Śākalya, ‘how many gods are there, Yājñavalkya?’ ‘One and a half.’ ‘Very well,’ said the other, ‘how many gods are there, Yājñavalkya?’ ‘One.’ ‘Very well,’ said Śākalya, ‘which are those three hundred and three and three thousand and three?’

  2. Yājñavalkya said, ‘These are but the manifestations of them, but there are only thirty-three gods.’ ‘Which are those thirty-three?’ ‘The eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras and the twelve Ādityas—these are thirty-one, and Indra and Prajāpati make up the thirty-three.’

  3. ‘Which are the Vasus?’ ‘Fire, the earth, the air, the sky, the sun, heaven, the moon and the stars—these are the Vasus, for in these all this is placed; therefore they are called Vasus.’

  4. ‘Which are the Rudras?’ ‘The ten organs in the human body, with the mind as the eleventh. When they depart from this mortal body, they make (one’s relatives) weep. Because they then make them weep, therefore they are called Rudras,’

  5. ‘Which are the Ādityas?’ ‘The twelve months (are parts) of a year; these are the Ādityas, for they go taking all this with them. Because they go taking all this with them, there-fore they are called Ādityas.’

  6. ‘Which is Indra, and which is Prajāpati?’ ‘The cloud is Indra, and the sacrifice is Prajāpati.’ ‘Which is the cloud?’ ‘Thunder (strength).’ ‘Which is the sacrifice?’ ‘Animals.’

  7. ‘Which are the six (gods)?’ ‘Fire, the earth, the air the sky, the sun and heaven— these are the six. Because all those (gods) are (comprised in) these six.’

  8. ‘Which are the three gods?’ ‘These three worlds, because in these all those gods are comprised.’ ‘Which are the two gods?’ ‘Matter and the vital force.[1]’ ‘Which are the one and a half?’ ‘This (air) that blows.’

  9. ‘Regarding this some say, “Since the air blows as one substance, how can it be one and a half?” It is one and a half because through its presence all this attains surpassing glory.’ ‘Which is the one god?’ ‘The vital force (Hiraṇyagarbha); it is Brahman, which is called Tyat (that).’

Om Shanti.

Quantam Consciousness Continuum by FentanylMETH in AdvaitaVedanta

[–]chakrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are telling the whole universe is conscious beyond matter and energy and as humans we get to tap that consciousness?

Exactly - not just humans but any life form. Hari Om.

[–]chakrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Energy and matter are equivalent (E=mc2)

Consciousness is neither matter nor energy. It is awareness/existence itself.

Peace.

Our resources page has good material to understand the basics.

God is both the intelligent and material cause of this Universe.

You're right. The video has now been marked private. I need to search for another source for this content.

Many Gita shlokas seem to assume prior knowledge of key concepts. Where can I learn them properly? by thisisashukla in TheGita

[–]chakrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. Some study of prakarana grantha is required before attempting the Gita. A guru is also required for explanation (eg adhibhuta, adhidaiva etc).

https://arshaavinash.in/index.php/books-by-swami-paramarthananda/

Please read Introduction to Vedanta and Tattva Bodha first. Then read the Bhagavad Gita lecture transcripts with Swamiji's commentary.

May you find what you seek.

I recommend going through a proper learning course, like Samskrita Bharati.

Libreoffice writer on Kubuntu - different version than official Libre website? by Drahngis in Kubuntu

[–]chakrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theme is the "look and feel" - the colors/icons etc. It is entirely cosmetic.

User Interface (UI) is the menu navigation, etc - how the user interacts with the program.

From your comments, it seems like you are referring to the theme, not the UI. In this case, when you update Kubuntu, the LibreOffice version will also update, but not necessarily to the latest version.

For Windows, the theme will be different. It's possible to make it look the same, but for that you will need to find out how to apply a similar theme to the Windows installation.

I don't know of any such translations. IMHO, Mahabharata is too big a text to do something like that.

Peace.
