(Thread) Why a #dhoti or #sari is #sattvik
1. Handwoven on a handloom, it is a product of patience and precision.
2. The attire is a breathable adjustable unstitched fabric that combats fast fashion pollution since there is no need to use and throw . 1/n
3. Can be #adjusted to increasing or decreasing waistlines without worry or trouble.
4. Keeps you cool in sweltering heat.
5. A #dharmic way of life involves #meditative chanting during the production of thread on a #charkha (Spinning wheel). 2/n
The clothes made from the thread thus become #sattvik. An individual who wears an #unstitched fabric receives #Chaitanya or #spiritual healing, since every thread in an uncut cloth remains intact and is able to spread waves of Chaitanya all over the cloth. 3/n
Clothes are stitched by piercing tiny holes in them along the required line and weaving a thread through them, creating the stitch. These piercings attract Raja-Tama waves from the atmosphere. 4/n
Clothes that are draped around the body using knots and minimal pleats, free from buttons with minimal stitch, reduces the possibility of Raja-Tama waves rushing into the clothes through the piercings created due to stitching.5/5
It is a form of #minimalism that combats #materialism and promotes simple living. Unstitched fabrics that are not cut up nor pierced to be exactly form-fitting to your body helps you practice detachment .

Just as there is problem with describing every little misfortune as 'trauma', there is problem describing the tiniest critique as "hate" or "venom". If it is a criticism against something your conditioning has taught you to praise it, it is your own #ConfirmationBias, not hate.
"Hate" is being used to describe an increasingly wide array of opinions/comments. By today's standards, it can be caused by a critique, reading something negative without warning or even watching upsetting news about something the masses are not conditioned 2 think negatively abt
Hate speech includes aggressive words, incitement to violence, true threat, libel or slander, and hostile environment. Free speech is a widely used right for people to speak without distress regarding retribution, censorship, misleading marketing.

Christians considered rose to be symbolic of paganism and their oppressors, the Romans, and were warned by church leaders not to plant it. How could a rose be ignored? In time, rose became a Christian symbol. Crusaders during the dark ages brought the rose to Europe.
European monasteries preserved the tradition of rose and required that at least one monk be skilled in botany and knowledgeable about the virtues of rose. The Christians decided a white rose represents Christ's purity and a red rose represents Christ's sacrificial blood.
Early Christians borrowed the idea to venerate the rose from the Romans and the Greeks. The rose was sacred to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, and to her Roman equivalent, Venus. Roman emperors filled their baths with rose water and sat on carpets of rose petals.

It is so easy in India to use taxis. From ordering and payment, it is completely touch free, except for touching your phones. It is equally easy to purchase ANYTHING from home, with home deliveries available for E V E R Y T H I N G. This is not the case in Switzerland.
E-commerce transactions is to be experienced ianywhere in India, which is similar to major Western e-commerce markets Canada/ U.S.; certainly not to lagging and sleepy western Europe. There is a plethora of digital wallets available in India, but cumbersome cash still rules in EU
Over a quarter of India's population is aged 14 years or under 34 and this new wave of consumers will soon be able to buy their own mobile devices. Google has highlighted the need for increased talent in the India mobile commerce industry, and a lack of apps.

(Thread) Indians protecting Swedes on #Swedengate . Indians promoting Ikea stores opening is a cause for great concern. If Indians are truly interested in being a green and sustainable community, education is key. It is very important for the communities inside India to know that
Ikea's claims of being a sustainable company are highly controversial.
1. Their actions do not meet their marketing jargon.
2. Before visiting the new store, understanding the Gruen effect of #consumerism will show you how you always end up buying what you do not want .
3. It is important to be mindful of how just like McDonalds is bad for physical health, Ikea is the McDonald of furniture world.
4. The brand’s website repeatedly says “zero waste”, but you will see the amount of unnecessary packaging they still use if you buy from #IKEAIndia.

Swedes accept spontaeneous invites to eat but never invite spontaeneously. WHY NOT? Because Swedes, Swiss, Finns, Germans are poor at heart despite all that wealth. #Swedengate
If the excuse these nations give that hospitality was the duty of people with higher status, then why do they accept invites in refugee homes for eating their exotic food, because refugees are people with lower status
The Swedish excuse for making the child from the other family wait while they they is that kid may have plans for another kind of dinner, and you wouldn’t want to ruin the routine or preparations. But when the Swedish kid visits a foreign culture family, all these do not apply!
