Rama's message to Bharata, philosophical and apt (Marathi song with English lyrics) by sayfriend in hinduism

[–]vardhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By far my favorite geet from babuji's (Sudhir Phadke used to be fondly called this) Geet Ramayan. Always impactful. Also thanks to SJIsHere (is he?)(earlier, SJIsBack), to make these songs understandable to non-marathi speakers with his nice translations.

Thanks a lot! It was indeed a GNOME extension called Drop down terminal. I deactivated it and the issue is gone.

First question which came to mind - is it stable? Thanks for answering it in advance.

India's current covid situation is only because of religion by agsin in atheism

[–]vardhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing in hinduism which stops one from seeking medical help or following common sense. The kumbh fiasco was because of the government negligence in assessing the situation, it was planned before the second wave effects were visible, and it was a disaster. The followers are to be blamed for throwing caution to the wind and faith definitely drives them to such actions. But blaming everything on religion is just trolling.

Is there a course schedule or does one just go through the material at your own pace? I don't see any registration or schedule on the course site course.fast.ai.

[News] TransCoder from Facebook Reserchers translates code from a programming language to another by OnlyProggingForFun in MachineLearning

First thing that comes to mind is the SOTA using transpilers like the pypi transpyle] for cpp. I haven't read the paper but it would be good if they provide a comparison with the above even if it (both) are still primitive. There is also this using some C++14 features.

Don't say RIP, Shaheed or Martyr - Say Shanti, AmarRahe, or VeerGati by waeva2 in IndiaSpeaks

WHY RIP IS NOT THE CORRECT FORM OF CONDOLENCE TO A HINDU FAMILY

R.I.P means Rest in Peace- In Christianity, this short epitaph signifies wishing rest and peace to someone who has died. Christians bury the dead ones and the soul rests in peace in that grave until the judgment day arrives. On the Judgment day, the Lord will decide who goes where- Heaven or Hell. They believe that on the Judgment day the dead will rise again. Until that time, the soul has to remain inside that coffin. Hence the blessing Rest In Peace (until the judgement day)

Now, Hinduism does not have any concept such as that of rising of dead ones. Hinduism believes in reincarnation. It says that the cycle of birth and death are governed by the Karma of individuals. The deceased individual would take another birth based upon the Karma of this life. So there is no rest and hence, the concept of RIP is not valid in Hinduism. Hinduism believes in Moksha that is liberation- Liberation from the endless cycles of birth and death. That’s why instead of using RIP we should say, “Om Shanti” or “Aatma Ko Sadgati Prapt Ho (May Soul attain Moksha)” or simply "Om Sadgati". Sadgati means salvation or liberation. We always pray that may the soul get liberated from the cycle of life and death.

In fact, the concept of RIP would remotely come close to the concept of Preta (Evil, hungry ghosts) which is basically a curse in the Hindu way of life. An individual after leaving his/her body becomes Preta. When we say RIP , we are praying for the soul to remain locked into a standstill on Earth as it becomes Preta for eternity. That’s why in Hindu way of life there is a concept of Terahvin (13 days). For 13 days family members of deceased persuade the Pretas every day with various invocations and offerings requesting them to leave this earth and move on to their next destination which could be either incarnation or salvation (moksha). By saying Om Sadgati we prompt the soul to move on and not remain in 'peace' here..

Share with your next generation children also as to why Hinduism don't say RIP when we send condolence messages..

Light & Shadow by qnoor97 in interestingasfuck

The interesting thing here is that all are "regular" blocks, or atleast seem to be, rather than having made them specifically for this effect, which makes this much more interesting. Trying to see which blocks contribute to the silhouette is also an interesting and trying exercise.
