2/n Mufti @Mufti_Yasir says that few call that supreme being "Ishvara, Bhagwan", few call him, "Allah" etc.
Then do you approve of this:
lā ʾilāha ʾillā -#Ishvara or lā ʾilāha ʾillā -#Yahweh or lā ʾilāha ʾillā -#Krishna ?
3/n Mufti Sahab says, once Vedas was revealed by the supreme being and then was also Gita by him sometime and so on an on coming till the Qur'an?
Gita doesn't goes against Vedas. Upanishads are extension of Vedas. Ramayana talks of whole world, why Qur'an fails to do so?
4/n Dear @Mufti_Yasir I have no intention to prove illegitimacy of Qur'an here but why the book was addressed to only "Certain People" & not the globe?
There are Hindu Texts which address to Bharatas, Aryas, the inhabitants of Jambudweep, which extended long & wide.
5/n If these were the texts of the Supreme Divine, why would the text of Arabia be needed to teach the Bhartiya Sanatanis who were already way advanced than the barbaric Arabia?
6/n Dear @Mufti_Yasir more than thousand years before this small booklet of Qur'an was revealed we were dealing with world class universities.
Our Siddhantas had formed the based for the scientific studies in Greece & beyond.
7/n Very well #SuchWala claims that "Allah" is entirely missing in Qur'an.
@Mufti_Yasir , you try to claim that being "first person" is not considered correct in such practice. What a joke.
8/n The authors of all the book are well known in which they are not in first person. Even the writers of "Old Testament" and "New Testaments" are known but for Qur'an you say, even the author is Allah.
@Mufti_Yasir , you give examples of autobiographies.
9/n Wherein, authors are clearly known so who will question its authenticity.
The problem with the believers of Qur'an is that they don't even want to talk about the author of Qur'an.
10/n The issue comes with Qur'an that Muhammad is an illiterate and hence the "Jalebi" of stories @Mufti_Yasir
In Bhartiya/ Hindu Texts, the composers of Texts are well known. Each Ruchas of Vedas is attributed to certain Rishis & Rishikas (female Rishis) & so on.
11/n Bhagwad Gita is attributed to Shri Krishna where Krishna says clearly what he does.
@Mufti_Yasir , He, ie KRISHNA, composer of Bhagwad Gita asserts that he comes each time when Dharma is hampered.
There is no concept of Rasul & Falna Dhinkana, Bhagwan himself comes.
12/n So if as you @Mufti_Yasir in initial talk accepted that even Gita was book of God, then when did he lie? In Qur'an?
Or you misunderstood Gita?
13/n What is interesting @Mufti_Yasir that Bhagwad Gita & the Hindu Texts talk about the "Quassi Cyclic Time" while the most Abrahmic Texts are completely centered around the the concept of "Linear Time."
Come on, God can't do such a big bluff.
14/n Once you change the concept of time, it is clash of Civilizations.
That essentially makes Hindu Dharma way different from the Abrahamic faiths.
The linear time concept ensures that respective of how many wrongs you do, good awaits.
15/n I'm sure that an honest @Mufti_Yasir won't deny that Islam emerged after Christianity (don't give crap that Islam existed even before 7th century).
Once upon a time "Cyclic Time" was very much followed by Christians too (refer works of Origen) .
16/n It was on May 5, 553 AD that "Cyclic Time" was cursed in Hagia Sofia (once a Jewish Temple).
Justinian had a selfish intent but it helped bring the concept of why one should become"Christian"for liberation. Read thread
17/n Clearly, linear time wasn't the thing of Iran, Iraq, or any land of Arabia.
The Pagan culture holistically followed the Cyclic Time and why won't they for after the "Battle of Ten Kings" migration had happened out of India and people had carried the Vaidik Culture with them
18/n @Mufti_Yasir , you must have heard the place called "Asoristan" right? read more about it and recent genetic revelations brought by @NirajRai3 .
Then you might be able to connect the dots.
19/n Now, Further @Mufti_Yasir you try to present Mathematical gorgeousness as a work of "God" in form of Qur'an.
Well then there is no point speaking much with you about the mathematical genius hidden in thousands of Hindu Texts. I'll just give you an example.
20/n If I pick Līlāvatī by Bhāskarāchārya.
Lilavati was daughter of Bhāskarāchārya. He studied her horoscope which made him predict that she won't ever get married & become mother.
What happened next is very interesting.
21/n He ascertained an auspicious moment for the Vivah Samskara of Lilavati. But to alert her at the correct time,he placed a cup with a small hole at the bottom of a pot filled with water.
The cup would sink at the beginning of the propitious hour.
22/n He put it in a room warning Lilavati to not go near it. But curious Lilavati went to look at the arrangement with a pearl embedded dress. The pearl from her dress accidentally dropped into device, upsetting the system.
23/n With time, the auspicious moment for the Vivah thus passed unnoticed. This devastated Bhaskaracharya.
He promised Lilavati to write a book in her name, one that would remain till the end of time as a good name is akin to a next life.
24/n The whole process of calculations are embedded in form of abstraction as a poems. The abstracts deal interest computation, AP & GP, plane geometry, solid geometry, the shadow of the gnomon, the Kuṭṭaka - a method to solve indeterminate equations, and combinations.
25/n Here is an excerpt:
Whilst making love a necklace broke.
A row of pearls mislaid.
1/6th fell to the floor.
1/5th upon the bed.
The young woman saved 1/3rd of them.
1/10th were caught by her lover.
If 6 pearls remained upon the string
How many pearls were there altogether?
26/n Dear @Mufti_Yasir there are texts which even talk of seven horses for Sun God for seven colors of white light & there are more.
The Chandashastra of Pingala (3rd cen BC) deals not only with the so called "Fibonacci Series", the golden ratio.
27/n This text also happens to be the first text to talk about description of a binary numeral system in connection with the systematic enumeration of meters with fixed patterns of short and long syllables.
So we should call it work of Supreme Power @Mufti_Yasir ?
28/n This text also discusses how combinatorics of meter corresponds to the binomial theorem.
Acording to the Halāyudha's commentary Pascal's triangle (called meruprastāra) too is found.
The miracle of numbers may be strange for Arabia & not for Bharat @Mufti_Yasir .

2/n We are told that Babylonians & Egyptians were the first to deal with "Elements of ancient Geometry."
Then I came across the interesting work of A Seidenberg, called "Ritual origin of Geometry." jstor.org/stable/41133224
He says: Egypt & Babylonia learnt it from Hindus.
3/n While Seidenberg gives very logical case that how it is armature attempt to think that Egyptians & Babylonians learnt elements of Geometry without Sulvasutras, we are also made aware about how the RigVaidik tribes had migrated out to latter influence to the rest of the world.
Dear @Mufti_Yasir īśvára is very much context based.
That is the reason why many see Shiva as īśvára while many see Vishnu as. You perhaps won't even get what the amalgamation of Nirgun & Sagun literally means.
Who is he PM of? He is PM of country that is defined by article-1, "India, that is Bharat".
& what is Bharat? it is the Civilizational State of which Kashi is pivot.
If you question PM @narendramodi taking part in it grandly, you certainly are also mocking the constitution makers who refrained from inserting "Secular"as they thought Bharat's culture has it by default.
1/n I had a fact check for @sumanthraman , couldn't respond for lack of time. Some clarity in this thread or his allegations that Marathas destroyed Shringeri.
He may respond should he have enough substance. @ShivaniGupta_5 tagging you as you were the anchor.
2/n This all story majorly got popularized after the mockery of History that BN Pande did. I'm sure @sumanthraman is aware whom I'm talking about. If not, I'll supply details for that too (check his paper AUrangzeb and Tipu Sultan)
Anyways let's bust your myth.
Read on.
3/n They were the Pindaris, mercenaries who had devastated Shringeri. They were freebooters.
In fact as per the primary sources Peshwa Madhawaro was badly anguished.
People want to compare Lakshmi Narsimha Swamy Temple, Yadadri with Kashi Vishwanath Corridor.
It is a futile & baseless effort.
The old pictures of both & history for past 5 centuries would tell people why I’m saying so.
It is also important to understand Mandir Architecture of different parts of north too has many variants, & to compare it with the style we know & are aware of is injustice to grandness of subject.
Hindus didn’t built only for grandeur but it was more about science, humility of spaces.
That’s the reason why although to many the Roman & Greek Architecture would look better but still smallest of Shikhar in Hampi has lot to offer as architecture brilliance.
