Jesus wasn’t born on 25 December ie #Christmas

Some evidences in this thread:

Read what Clement of Alexandria writes around 200 AD.

He says, “There are those who have determined not only the year of our Lord's birth, but also the day; ...
... & they say that it took place in the 28th year of Augustus, & in the 25th day of (the Egyptian month) Pachon (May 20)... Further, others say that He was born on the 24th or 25th of Pharmuthi (April 20 or 21).”

They were confused.

The earliest of the so called "Christian" writers Irenaeus and Tertullian never mention anything like Christmas as to be in the list of feasts.

In fact, both Origen & Arnobius crit Pagans for celebrating birthdays.
Origen clearly mentions that only "Sinners" celebrate birthdays and not the saints.

Source:. Homilies on Leviticus, 8
Arnobius, a christian apologist does ridicules the birthday of "Gods" in his Adversus Nationes.

He died in 330 AD. This certainly makes clear that celebrating the birthday of "Jesus" in church made no sense till early 4th century.

1/n #Pagan roots of #Christmas Traditions.

Let's first talk about the #Santa’s Sleigh & the Wishes for Peace

Illustration: F.O.C. Darley (1822-1888).
2/n According to Germania of Tacitus (98 AD) , the goddess Herthum (Mother Earth) rides a sleigh type wagon pulled by yoked oxen.

Wherever she went, came the festivity & peace.

Read snippet from translation of Thomas Gordon
3/n Here is the painting of Herthum/ Nerthus done by Emil Doepler in 1905 AD.

With time Nerthus got replaced by Freya and Frigg, the two other Nordic Goddesses.

In my opinion Haridwar’s Conclave only has weakened Hindu Assertion.

I don’t question Intent, given the attack Hindu Community indeed has faced with time but this certainly isn’t the way you win battles.

We must learn from “Gandhi Assassination”.
You can’t be just another Owaisi to fight him.

You can’t threaten certain community only to gain few claps.

Intellectual destruction of Quranic thought is needed. You have no other way out, irrespective of if you like it or not.
The premise is clear. If you think that you can control the menace of Jihad by non-intellectual way, it is a gross mistake.

The brainwashing comes to a level that "Shahadat" is a tenet & they would come forward to fight you out.

1/n #WorldMathematicsDay

A thread on Bharat's contribution:

"I once heard, and I think it is true, that only one man in the world—some Indian mathematician—understood the mathematics of string theory in eleven-dimensional space, and he dreamed it." - Kary Mullis
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.

Hilarious comeback.

So you assert only revealed book is Quran & God never revealed anything? Yes or No?

Of course Ishvara isn’t Arabic but if it is name for God why not use it if needed?

Will you say it in Hindi: कोई और नहीं बल्कि ईश्वर हीं भगवान है?
Absolutely wrong.

īśvára= īś+vára
īś= "capable of" +"owner, ruler, chief of..."
vára=best, excellent, beautiful", "choice, wish, blessing, boon, gift", etc etc

So īśvára=owner of best,ruler of choices, blessings, boons", or "chief of suitor" etc.

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.

You say that īśvára= Khuda. Hilarious.

1/n #SadarPranam to the Ishvara within you @Mufti_Yasir

I observed the whole video & I'm in fact sorry to say that #suchwala made you a joke in front of all.

Explained in this thread.
What is so big deal in he accepting the existence of Supreme Being with qualities?
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?

My opinion with @ShivaniGupta_5 on @CNNnews18
Crux: a)By logic of “True Secularism”of Luther,Hindus need to ensure non-Hinduness is controlled

b)If equity is case,then better don’t abuse Savarkar. His Constitution & not current treated all with equity.
I am wondering how PM taking part in #KashiVishwanathCorridor can ever be questioned?

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.
