Atheist hypocrites quickly run out of facts & precedent when faced with the truth. It invariably always ends with them drawing false parallels between their ex-abrahamic cult & Hindus; branding us cruel, violent, bigoted, fascist or whatever other label they want to slap on us.
None of these hypocrites are actually interested in hearing the Hindu viewpoint. Simply because it would take a lot of hardwork & scholarship to even comprehend our philosophy. Instead they chose the lazy & easy way out of drawing false parallels. Their mind is already made up.
Problem with atheists & wannabe charvaka charlatans is that these hypocrites are largely unencumbered by burdensome hangups like history, facts and logic. Especially history. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that NOT everyones historical experience is the same.
Any kind of meaningful debate with these people is a near impossibility. Simply because all their views are based almost entirely on their pre-conceived notion on how they "feel" about Hindus. The Hindu experience is vastly different to any other. A fact they will NOT acknowledge
In most cases, these atheists hold views that directly contradict their own views. This is often carried to the point of absurdity. Try & point out these obvious conflicts & they'll resort to posting disgusting literature or art of our gods just because they lack a counter.
This is a textbook atheist debate tactic. To rile up the other party in order to play victim when they get paid back in their own coin.
How can any sane individual engage in any kind of mature & educated debate with such hypocrites?
Atheists are least bothered by such display of intellectual dishonesty. In their thought process, the end simply justifies the means. In the process they'll not mind resorting to some incredible heights of spin & distortion of facts to make their point.
I'll end by pointing out that trying to debate with the self imposed ignorance, egotistical & juvenile naivete of an atheist is just about as intellectually rewarding as a conversation with a brick wall. A waste of time, energy & resources.

History THREAD. When Tirupathi was invaded by the forces of turushka barbarian abdullah qutub shah around the year 1660, a brahmin poet documented the horrors committed by the invader in a series of 100 verses in Telugu. It was called "Sri Venkatachala Vihara Satakamu" (1)
Majority of the verses were a desperate plea to Venkateshwara
Verse 5:
When turks penetrated temples & broke idols into pieces & annoyed acharyas & licked the namams & pulled small tuft of hair of their heads,is it not possible for you to slay them? In my weakness I implore you.
The Kamkhana-ganamu (the men under the commanders) and the superior force under the Vajirs of Golkonda dash the shaven heads of sanyasis against each other like the dashing of rams in a fight; split the Brahma-sutramulu (sacred threads) of Somayajis (3)
THREAD on the history, architecture & sculpture at the Vira Narasimhaswamy temple at Ahobilam, Andhra Pradesh (also known as lower Ahobilam) .Known for its inscriptions, sculptures and a very unique layout, it offers a deep insight into Vijayanagara style temple architecture (1)
The earliest inscription naming the place as Ahobala is from 1124 CE. According to the Sthalapurana, "Ahobilam" comes from 'Ahobala' exclaimed by the devatas upon seeing Narasimha's fierce avatar as he emerged from this Ugra sthamba to slay Hiranyakashipu (2)
The sthalapurana mentions Garuda's penance at Nallamala forest hills, where after years of devotion, Narasimha appeared in a cave, which led to the name Ahobilam signifying strength. Vobula,was the earliest name, & appears in an 8th century Chalukyan inscription (3)
Namaste friends🙏 Had the good fortune of having a darshana at one of the most iconic temples of Bharat last week, the ancient Pallava era Kailasanatha Temple at Kanchi.
This is a thread on the temple's history, architecture & sculptures. There is so much to share. Do read. 🕉️
Firstly, brief history of the temple. It was built during the 8th century by Pallava emperor Rajasimha. The temple also goes by the name Rajasimheshwara. This temple served as the architectural blueprint for the Chalukyas & later Rashtrakutas for their temples at Vatapi & Ellora.
There is a Pallava-Granta inscription in the temple that praises Rajasimha as a great ruler. He is praised as having mastered the vedas and shaiva siddhantha. He is compared to Indra & Kubera
Some of the titles used by Rajasimha were Ishanacharana, Sivachudamani, Kalasamudra.
A detailed THREAD on the history, architecture & sculpture of the Hoysala built Chennakeshava Temple at Somanathapura, Karnataka.
This is going to be a long one & it took me a while to piece all the information together. Do continue reading till the end. Lets's start 🕉️ (1)
The Keshava temple was constructed by Somanatha Dandanayaka on receiving funds from reigning King Narasimha III. This temple was consecrated in 1238 CE & is considered the last major temple building activity undertaken by the Hoysalas. (2)
In front of the entrance of the temple is a 10mt high Dipasthambha. The Temple is enclosed in a prakara wall & is entered through a mantapa on the east. To the left of this mantapa is a 3mt high slab with inscription in both Kannada & Sanskrit dating to the reign of Narasimha (3)
A Thread on the history, architecture, paintings and sculpture at The Veerabhadra swamy temple in Lepakshi, Andhra. The temple represents the awe inspiring architectural brilliance of the Vijayanagara Empire. (1)

Da Vinci was undoubtedly a great innovator. But 500 years before him was Paramara Bhoja. He authored the Samarangana Sutradhara, a multi disciplinary text, where he describes building advanced warfare machines including mechanized soliders! This is 500 years before Da Vinci! (1)
Bhoja's legendary work, the Samarangana Sutradhara has no parallel for its time. In this particular chapter called Yantra vidhanam, he describes the method of building advanced mechanical devices like Golakabhramana, Jalayantra & many others. (2)
Bhoja talks about a number of advanced mechanical devices which he calls as "Yantras"
He defines a Yantra as " The device by which the mahabhutas like earth, water, fire, air & ether are controlled. When the free & natural activities of these mahabhutas...cont...(3)
