bhArAvatArastavaH harihara-bheda-bhAra-avatAriNii-Tiikopetam - shloka 2

By -
The bhArAvatAra stavaH is a recent work of Shri Shankar R, a modern poet of Sanskrit. The work composes of 50 shlokas in praise of Shiva. The hari-hara-bheda-bhAra-avatAriNii Tiika is a Tiika on the above work by Shri Shrivathsa. B., a person who is passionate about samskR^itam especially the Tiika tradition. An effort has been made to view the stotra (hymn in praise) of shiva as a stotra of viShNu. The name of the Tiika literally means: the Tiika which removes a burden. The burden is the bheda buddhi (attitude of seeing as different) shiva and viShNu.

Does sanAtana dharma (hinduism) "approve" of LGBTQ

By -
There is a concerted propaganda being driven to the effect that LGBTQ is somehow "approved" in sanaatana dharma. Given that the "evidence" given is extremely laughable and trivial, it is better that we deal with them in some sort of a Q&A. A humble attempt - Q1. Is LGBTQ approved in hinduism? A - It is as approved as much any other human weakness / infarction / disease. The idea being any weakness should be overcome or prevented from spreading and making society weak. Q2. Why do you think that way? LGBTQs are as normal as any other. A - Any normal person wouldn't go up to another in the face and say "I am normal". If he does so, it immediately raises suspicion of he being abnormal. The problem with LGBTQ activism is exactly that. They first try to prove that they are "normal", then they try to make it the "norm". E.g. some organizations in Canada trying to brook 72 different categories LGBTQ and imposing on everyone that

Hindu view of food and drink: a critique - Part 2

By -
   This response is Authored by Ganesh Krishnamoorthy with editorial inputs of Mr. Shrivathsa B(from hereon, SB) in continuation of the Part 1 of the response of SB to Shatavadhani R Ganesh’s (from hereon, SG or RG) article .      It is now our revised and considered view that RG's article could have been titled aptly to suit the main theme of their article . N amely : “Why it is ok for Hindus to eat beef and drink intoxicants? Weren’t their ancestors doing the same?”    The following is a detailed para by para analysis and rebuttal (where necessary) of RG's article.    The first paragraph of SG’s article refers to a survey of meat eating in India. W e are not sure how the authors are safely deducing that the decline in meat eating in India is “not due to Hinduism” when the same   survey they referred to clearly indicates that roughly only 20% of the population in India amounts to Non-Hindus. This being the statistical data w h ere the majority of popula
