॥अथ तनादयः॥
विस्तारे स्यात्तनुस्सप्त स्वरितेत इतः क्रमात्।
षणुर्दानेऽथ हिंसायां क्षणुस्स्यात्क्षिणुरेव च॥१॥
ऋणुर्गतौ स्याददने तृणुर्दीप्तौ घृणुः स्मृतः।
अथ द्वावनुदात्तेतौ वनुर्याचन ईरितः॥२॥
परस्मैपद्यसौ चान्द्रमतेऽथो अवबोधने।
मनु डुकृञ् तु करणेऽनिङ्वृद्गणसमाप्तये॥३॥

॥इति तनादयः॥

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

On the Hindi-Urdu debate

By -
In Bhārata, a language has respect if it gels, melds, coalesces, dissolves in the mileu of itihāsa, purāṇa, saṅgīta, nṛtya and so on. E.g. a Tyāgarāja / Purandaradāsa kīrtana, a Rāmaprasādī gīta earn their respective langs respect and esteem. They do so by cajoling the listener as though saying "here, you are safe with me, I am your great grandfather's friend. He gave me this treasure to pass on to you." The extremely skeptical listener is moved and he starts trusting the messenger. None of this in Urdu. Any language and its creations when they strike a deeper chord than the mundane and resonate with our civilizational memory automatically unconsciously and effortlessly earn respect of the "cognoscenti" part of each Bhāratīya's heart. Bhāratīyas have quite good taste. Why Urdu has never commanded such respect is because their creations haven't struck a deep civilizational chord with the Bhāratīya. Inglees has its redeemers such as Aurobindo. Urdu doesn&#
