Vedic Meditation Agni as avyaya अव्यय
Agni can never be injured
No matter what you throw in it, it remains beyond the world while being in it
Agni has created the Universe as both the power of creation and an intimate knowledge of every minute process of creation
And yet, in the midst of all this, Agni’s real home is Satyam Ritam Brihat, the Truth, the Right, the Vast
Agni lives in our hearts as anahata अनाहत bearing that Truth always
Know this then. No matter what happens you can never be hurt. For your essential nature is eternal. No fear. No doubt. Your inner fire is always your destiny अव्यय and your destiny is eternity

Nietzsche committed his creative energies to explaining, defending, and celebrating "the higher." At the same time, he problematized the scientific method, poked back at it, and revealed some of the puny motivations that powered it.
In other words, Nietzsche's project was to create a worldview that allowed for mystery, grandeur, nobility, and "the higher"...which are the basic ingredients of religiosity. And so Nietzsche, with a poetic slight of hand, with a masterful literary trick, protected religiosity...the very state of mind that he was apparently critiquing...

Well Nietzsche still discards the traditional and transcendent conception of the “Higher” or God, and substitutes a new set of values. So hes not saving the old conceptions. He is abolishing them and “staying true to the earth” rather than anything beyond. And his “Higher” is limited to this sphere. Otherwise great write up Jash. Love the more sophisticated probings of old Nietzsche.

It is a tremendous own goal by the "hindu nationalist" community.. to stop the Leli misuse of steppe migration history, they decided to create a fake history. Never a good idea.
Steppe populations did enter India and their genetic imprint is everywhere.. That this process happened a long time ago and those migrants (like other earlier migrants, including the "iranian farmers" etc) all mixed to create what is the modern genetic structure of Indian populations is simply a fact. That the cultural implications of this story bear no resemblance to western europeans conquering the Americas (now a standard Leli version of Indian history, with white aryans oppressing dark dravidians and whatnot) does not mean the entire population history has to be re-invented.. this is not a useful way to recover your colonized culture..

Most societies’ historical achievements mainly come from the elites. Yet today, those achievements are distributed to society at large. However in India, this mass mixing has not occurred due to the continuation of caste. So while a large chunk of India has a consciousness of "Indian achievements," there remain pockets where achievements are pidgeonholed into this or that group. Thus it has to deal with internacine quibbling, kanging, & rejecting of a shared national mythos in a way other countries do not.

Funniest thing is those caste groups themselves have petty intracaste rivalries in their gotras and don't like different gotra of same caste doing kanging on their name. Absolutely hilarious country. I imagine British used to everyday laugh at us for being so retarded
very less talked about topic but insiders know how common but what kind of brahmin, rajput, jat, baniya are you question is lol

Vishal tries to put forward a radical proposal that the Indian American experience, so far joined at-the-hip to the Indian experience, has to eventually splinter from its “Indianness” and find a path to “Americanness” in the way other hyphenated Americans (Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Polish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Hispanic Americans, etc.) have in the last century and a half. In writing this article, Vishal set the cat among the pigeons and drew hatred from all sides - from Indians, PIOs, and Visaists alike.

Ever wonder why every major newspaper opinion page seems to echo the exact same narrative? It’s not a coincidence. It’s science. Opinion pieces don't just reflect reality; they construct it using highly specific Academic Frameworks. Let’s pull back the curtain on the 5 hidden techniques columnists use to hack your perception... Conclusion
You are the target audience of a highly engineered product. Next time you read a national newspaper’s opinion page, don't just read the words. Look for the framework. Are they Indexing? Stretching? Using Thematic framing to protect an ally? Once you see the matrix, you can't unsee it.

Case 3: Richard Dawkins (b. 1941) — The Cultural Christian
Richard Dawkins occupies a unique position in this analysis. He is not merely a secular figure who exhibits tribal cognition; he is a prominent theorist of rational secularism who has publicly exhibited the very phenomenon he would be compelled to explain away. Dawkins, author of The God Delusion (2006), has on multiple occasions described himself as a “cultural Christian.” He articulated a sustained emotional attachment to English parish churches and the cultural rhythms of the Christian calendar. He did this while maintaining that the theological propositions undergirding these practices were false and that organized religion was harmful to human flourishing...
Dawkins’s case illustrates that secularism does not dissolve tribal cognition but redirects it. It also reveals demographic-anxiety tribalism operating at the level of cultural aesthetics. The anxiety is not about personal danger but about the transformation of a familiar cultural landscape into something experienced as foreign.
... this architecture operates across the full spectrum of modern ideologies. In each case, the symbolic vocabulary differs while the psychological architecture remains constant: in-group prioritization, asymmetric moral accounting, and the contraction of universal ethical commitments... The institutional challenge is to build structures that sustain these commitments against the pressure of activated coalitional psychology. The theological challenge is to maintain the demanding clarity of the universalist narrative: that the enemy is a neighbour and the stranger is a messenger. The question posed by these traditions is whether the evolved capacity for moral community can be extended to encompass all of humanity.

'To forge in the Smithy of our soul the conscience of our race' - James Joyce
Sri Aurobindo showed that the secret of this supramental consciousness was first discovered in the Veda, that mankind could recover again. And using this highest possibility and potential, not only the seeker but also the nation and even the world could be transformed.
The summit of this love for India and humanity manifested in a vast and wide-ranged vision of what they could become, united in strength, of one aspiration and one heart, together in mind and organization, yet giving the ultimate freedom and diversity in its unity. And to take whatever she had and purify it in the fire of sincerity, dhyana, askesis, or tapasya and transform it into something divine and eternal. Man is a transitional animal, he said. And the only way to go beyond ourselves is to bring us to the truth & Power of our own nature.

Many Urdu poets, e.g. Mirza Ghalib, were of the view that the language of poetry should not be the same as that of the common man. Ghalib had a horror of the commonplace in poetic expression, and this often makes his poetry obscure. His early poems were highly Persianized, and therefore often difficult to understand. His biographer Hali wrote that about one-third of Ghalib's verses can hardly be called Urdu, and even till today some of his verses are almost unintelligible.
