Any idea, group, memetic position, philosophy, a communal habit - anything that wishes to survive in India - has to survive with a collective blessings of Hindu society

Corollary - any idea/system/social-group that survives in India, has blessings of collective Hindu society.
This includes existence of systems (like constitution), or existence of ideas (like democracy, secularism etc) or a social grouping (minority non-Hindu religions and their adherents).

Their existence is because of whatever goodwill Hindus collectively have towards that entity.
The existence of non-Hindu ideas, memes, people and systems is NOT guaranteed by constitution or any other fancy construct.

It is Hindus as collective who have decided that the said system or construct should exist.

And it can only exist until Hindus as a collective wish it so
It is in interest of non-Hindu ideas/systems/memes and social groupings to understand and accept this fundamental fact.

Moment Hindus stop believing in constitution of India, constitution will be a goner.
If that happens then the humpty-dumpty of democratic-secular-socialist construct has a fall, Then All the hallowed halls of judiciary and parliaments and other two pillars of state etc won’t be able to put Humpty Dumpty together again.
Hindus are tolerant because subconsciously they know they have a chance to shape the sociopolity of subcontinent after a long break.

There is a cost benefit ratio to this. Right now benefits have outweighed the costs.

The gap might be closing fast.
And most importantly - Hindus collectively and subconsciously supports existence of this because Hindus now have a world class army of their own after a significant interval which qualitatively & quantitatively rivals the first rate powers in world.

That goal is almost achieved
So when I say this, it is a very serious & deeply thought out position

Like any other Hindu (and Sanghi) - I love this country (and systems incumbent in it currently) - this is simultaneously the source of their greatest strength & weakness

They can’t (as yet) watch India burn
Think and be afraid of the day when Hindus won’t mind if India burns a bit. Or a lot more than a bit.

What then?

I am reminded of Opium wars of 1850s

China was flooded with Opium which was forcibly grown in India by Brits and pushed in China with help of ancestors of some famous industrialist dynasties

Thereby underlining Balzac’s famous saying - Behind every great Fortune there is crime
But Balzac’s saying isn’t the point.

Point is - have the BIF (both phoren BIF handlers and their deshi sepoys) pushed to the wall (financially speaking) that they have increasingly resort of narcotics to fund their political and BIF activities?
Is desperation in BIF so high that they will enable what a section of Hongkong based Chinese merchants enabled by collaborating with British East India Company?

It is foolish (of BIF) to immediately enable drug-infiltration on massive scale in India so early after fall of AFG.

नीरवता ती तशीच
धुंद तेच चांदणे
छायांनी रेखियले
चित्र तेच देखणे
जाई चा कुंज तोच
तीच गंधमोहिनी

एकांती मज समीप
तीच तु ही कामिनी….

तोच चंद्रमा नभात

I am not a linguist. But I never understood “sweetness of Urdu” as bragged by so many Bollywood types.

The word “चैत्रयामिनी” conveys the night of Chaitra month (which is in Vasant season filled with fragrant flowers) is one of the most beautiful seasons for a “memorable night”
Memorable night with lover, as described in the poem. Usually Nights of Sharad and Vasant season are excellent "to be memorable" :) Not too hot, not too cold, fragrant and full of flowers and laden with fruits.

These words convey so many subtler feelings with ease.

Ok.. So while I am at it and having a relatively free day today, this is one more daily ritual. Mahayagna and balivaishvadeva

Again curated by panDit @vvaayu ji

This too is a nitya-karma. To be done by every house-holder at least once daily before meals

kalchiron.blogspot.com/2021/10/rigved…
This does not comprise of first daily mandatory yagna - brahmayagna. That is to be done under guidance of a shrotriya teacher.

The other four should be done daily by every Hindu.

The Mantras (just like tarpaNa) are very beautiful. We are giving aahutis to all entities around us
Just like tarpaNa, bali-vaishvadeva is to be done in the noon. When food is cooked but we haven't eaten it.

The Noon protocol is thus.

First Nitya-tarpaNa

Then Afternoon Sandhyaa

Then Bali-vaishvadeva

Again - modern lifestyle makes afternoon rituals not possible on week-days

Important take away message of the movie Agora

When you lose lower classes to predatory religions, the great library burns & Hypatia is stoned to death.

All this because the elites (the intellectuals, the military/political elite and the financial elite) lost touch with Plebs.
Plebeians gradually converted while the “traivarNika equivalents of Græko-Roman society” ignored the Plebian plight and enjoyed the high flights of Puritanism and ideals.
Græko-Roman religion had everything to hold on to the masses. To give them succour and help. They had temples (with plenty of wealth and reach). They had gods and rituals whom people looked up to

But in spite of this, a desert cult managed to usurp rich græko-Roman religion?

Few musings on the occasion of pirtru-paksha.

We are supposed to do tarpaNa for all our ancestors (at least 5 paternal and maternal generations before us) daily. Then there are brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, friends etc).
When one does a tarpaNa for one's great great grandfather, the chances are (unless he was real realized being who is liberated OR a real bad person who still in pishacha yoni) that the person is already in some new body in next birth.
All of us, who are reading this tweet (and those who exist in human form right now on this good planet) must be grandfathers/mothers of someone.

If that someone is doing tarpaNa for "us" in our previous form, we will get it (even if we don't understand it).

A beautiful prayer by Achilles to Zeus. For safe return of Patroclus’s from war

Soothing. EU lost something very valuable when they accepted monotheism

It was once recited by mothers, brothers, spouses for safe return of their loved ones from journeys

Perhaps this was to Greeks the way we chant Hanumān chālisā. Or Shri Rāmarakshā

पातालभूतलव्योम चारिणः छद्मचारिण:
न द्र्ष्टुम् अपि शक्तास्ते रक्षितं रामनामभि:

The divinity still exists in this prayer by Achilles. But no devotee left who sees divinity being invoked in these lines
We are the last civilisation standing which is still predominantly non-abrahmic and non-monotheist.

All these beautiful prayers are nothing but poetry lessons.

If we aren’t vigilant, purushasukta, rudra, rāmarakshā everything will one day just become mere poetry.
