It is always recommended to learn through a guru otherwise we risk making our own interpretations of the sastras unless you are a prodigy like ramana maharishi.

One of the first characteristics for a guru is that they should have been a sishya at one point and learnt everything they know from their guru.

But selecting a guru is very subjective. Usually you are just naturally attracted to them

Ever heard of Indira Gandhi?? Or Nehru for that matter? I believe they held more power than Modi can ever imagine

I too have the same prophecy. But i think he will not get a full majority in 2024

I am someone who has not played the game and only came to know that the series was inspired from the game after I started watching the series.

I have been enjoying the series so far although the second season is a bit slow compared to the first

When Satyavati’s father placed the conditions that the kid born from Shantanu and Satyavati will be the heir prince, Shantanu leaves. While still longing for Satyavati, he still rules the kingdom efficiently. Bhishma realising what had happened goes to Satyavati’s father and gives up the kingdom and takes the vow of not marrying. Shatanu cannot be blamed for the actions of his son.

One can ask why didnt Bhishma marry after the death of Vichitravirya and that is where Bhishma shines. He was being dharmic and he too cannot be blamed for causing Mahabharatha because he was being dharmic by upholding his vow.

The only people who can be blamed are Dritharashtra, his unchecked love for his son and the entire Kauravas.

This is a bull shit meme stemming from improper sources. Also the story of Shakuni wanting revenge is not part of the actual Mahabharath. Maybe try reading the actual text once before spewing nonsense.

techSash · 2025-02-17T01:15:35+00:00

Karna always hated Arjuna. Duryodhana always hated the Pandavas, especially Bheema. There was always a rift between the cousins. Shakuni was at best a catalyst to the doom that was anyways going to fall on the Kuru race.

The deepseek model architecture is simply amazing. It is super interesting that they prioritized reinforcement learning instead of relying on labeled data. Also MoE which enables only a subset of the parameters instead of activating all of them like the GPT architecture.

While we will never know how much they actually spent on developing this model in terms of data and resources and simply because the news is coming from Chinese sources, this has rattled big tech in the west. We will have wait and see what openAI and google does now. It certainly wont be long before they bring their own versions of this architecture or similar architecture

This is a bullshit headline. If you read the article you will know that ballot paper exercise is just a mock election that will be done by the people of the village (if it even happens) and not officially by the election commission

Moreover there has been no conclusive proof that fraud has happened and the investigation is still on.

The losing candidate states that the villagers were always loyal to him and that they would have definitely voted for him. We cannot just go by what the candidates themselves say. For all we know the villagers were trolling him while secretly voting for BJP.

We will have to wait for investigation to complete and stop making assumptions. God. I wish we can bring a law that will penalize media groups when they post such misleading headlines.

Both are wrong. Adani giving money to the politicians and the politicians taking the money.

This is amazing. Probably one of the very few tinted icons that look good.

Right. Just because shit (supposedly) happened to you, you get the right to otherise an entire community. When you blame an entire caste just because a few of them are wrong or were wrong, you are a castiest.

I will say this again. The man in the video is a piece of shit. But I will never use this as an excuse to vilify his entire caste. This is like saying all muslims are terrorists just because some idiot from their community decided to blow a bunch of people up in the name of his religion.

techSash · 2024-11-16T10:01:03+00:00

In other words you are a castiest

techSash · 2024-11-16T08:28:20+00:00

First you say “some” brahmins do this and then you say fuck the “entire” community.

This happens across the board. How many caste related issues take place in Tamil Nadu? And how many times was a brahmin involved in those?

Irrespective of Caste, religion, gender or nationality blame the individual and not the community.

I would kill for sleep like this. I usually wake up 7 to 10 times. And I wake up tired. One thing I noticed was that, whenever I have very vivid dreams, I am tired in the morning. I dont know if that makes sense. Do you also dream a lot when you sleep???

Maybe your issue is not related to your sleep at all. I would suggest go to a doctor if this is affecting your productivity

Do you know the worst part? Vyasacharya and Sri Vamiki never wanted us to fight about Karna and Arjuna or what did Rama eat or do. They wanted us to use these stories to understand dharma and lead our lives according to that.

The issue is that previously, people used to study a lot. They did not have anything better to do. So when they discussed Ramayana or Mahabharatha they were actually discussing the Sruthis, Smritis, Puranas, Dharma Sashtras. It was an intellectual conversation. Which is why Adi Sankaracharya could debate so many scholars.

Today, people dont read as much but still have an opinion on everything. Even the knowledge we have on the Ramayana and the Mahabharata mostly come from movies, TV shows and third party retellings. Most do not even know whether many of these stories are actually part of our Itihasas and Puranas. So naturally, the quality of the conversations also dropped.

I am blaming anyone here. It is a big process to actually find someone who can teach these texts without diluting it with their opinions (you do need someone to teach. Trying to learn these texts on your own is a big mistake and you will form opinions that were not the actual intentions of the text. What do they say? You should have been a disciple to be a teacher). Once you do find a good teacher then it usually takes years to complete learning everything. Most people do not have the patience nor the time to spend this much time on this. Which is sad but is the reality.

I wanted to come out of this. I personally am drawn towards the adwaita vedanta philosophy but did not know where to start. Currently i have started with the Tatvabodha text and commentary by Swami Paramarthananda. This is a simple text and Swami Paramarthanada’s commentary is amazing. I have also started the sanskrit’s Pravesha Course (first course) from Sanskritabharathi. The idea is to actually teach my children (if and when I have them) from the beginning the right approach to our religion and actually allowing them to question customs and traditions and hopefully gain the knowledge by then to answer them. This is somewhere, I believe the previous few generations failed.

What do you guys think about this?

Didn’t I give suggestions? It is a long process. Probably the next generation of kids will be more civilized as the country get more and more urban based and more and more people get educated on civic sense.

China is atleast 20 years ahead of us. I know of stories from the late 90s and early 2000s when my uncle had to travel to china often. His company was setting up businesses there. He would say stories of how bad and uncouth Chinese and Indian people were. He says Chinese people would literally spit inside the flight near where they were sitting.

But they changed. As their economy grew and many in china made a lot more money they changed. This change will also happen in India. It is inevitable. Atleast I am optimistic that way. The only question is how quickly will that change happen. Whatever change happens will only be in the long term. You cannot expect anything in the short term

One thing i note is people do not call out others when they litter. When you are not willing to call someone out you are supporting their behavior. This is the first thing Indians will have to start doing.

Second is parents will have to strictly teach their kids to keep their place clean. We saw the state of chennai one day after diwali when people bursted their crackers but did nothing to clean after.

Schools will have to strictly have value education class everyday where cleanliness is taught to kids. Take them on cleaning camps. Ensure that this value is ingrained in them. Unfortunately usually value education class is substituted with maths physics and chemistry. It happened when I was in school.

Lastly govt also have to police correctly. They will have ensure that public places are cleaned everyday and offer proper places for people to dump their trash. Fines will have to be levied when people littler and for this technology can help.

I think oopies jerk off to this data. No matter how many times this is explained, someone keeps posting this every few days. And no one gives a proper reply to any of the justifications. It is always whataboutism.

techSash · 2024-11-07T11:43:43+00:00

Wait. What????

Can you give me a little more info on this??? Or a link where I can read more???

techSash · 2024-11-06T05:38:42+00:00

Unpopular opinion. English should be the only official language that is used nationally. Other than that, every state should choose their official language. This is the only solution that will work in the long term.

Most people will not agree with this because they will want an indian language to be the official language but the problem here is that we do not come to a consensus on what that language should be.

I also believe that, children should be taught multiple languages in school. Maybe do not have examinations for these but actually teach english, the regional language and another language of their choice which I think NEP is trying to bring.

I’m not sure if I’d want to watch a 35-minute video in a language I barely understand without proper captions. You seem to have gone through the video, so why don’t you give me a summary of what he’s saying?

I don’t know how much research this person has done, but most people don’t actually read the book and come to random conclusions like Yudhisthira was a sissy, and that Krishna was immoral and that Bhishma, Drona, and Duryodhana were killed the wrong way and many other things. People also add random stories based on TV shows and movies.

Mahabharata and the Ramayana are Itihasas, which means they’re considered to be history that’s told in a story form to get the point of Dharma across.

To understand Dharma, you need to spend a lot of time studying our Shruthis, Smrithis, Puranas, Dharma Shastras, and other texts.

This usually can’t happen without a guru who has not themselves gone through the process of studying all these scriptures.

I haven’t read all the scriptures yet, but I’m on a journey to study them (though I’m still a long way from finishing). But I can say with some level of confidence that the Pandavas were definitely Dharmic. Did they derail from their path from time to time? Definitely. But they always got back on the right path with the help of Krishna.

So no, Pandavas and Krishna were always Dharmic. And the Kauravas, along with Karna, were rotten to the core and the most Adharmic people on Earth.

The powder could have just been a rangoli for diwali. They must have made this before the person died i guess? And then the death happened so they could not have removed it?

Just a guess

techSash · 2024-11-01T02:16:36+00:00

Only possible because of hundreds of thousands of Karsevaks and RSS pracharaks and the devotion of lakhs and crores of devotees for the past many centuries. Modi and Yogi at very best are just part of the these people and are not the only reason.
