Please type Famous Hindu scientists in Google to learn of our work in the sciences. You say Shriniwas there are not humans with superpowers? Yet you are unaware of the fact that Hindu sages such as Baba Ramdev can control their body temperature in sub zero weather? The science of meditation, yoga if you research it, alone is practically a super human art & is capable of producing super human effects in terms of biological & physiological impact. And funny isn’t it that God Hanuman inspired “Superman” his flying over city of Lanka!

They did not know the earth was not flat, yet astronomy & astronomical recordings accurate to today’s standards are proven from India? If you visit Mayan ruins, their astronomical tables still exist & Sanskrit tablets dating to 3000 BC have been found in Brazil. The cell phone you are using today was co created by Jagdish Bose, his work was pivotal in its final creation. As well our ground breaking work in nano technology. The first four integral laws of an atom was spelled out by a Hindu by name of Nila Kantan — all of these things you will never learn of in your Rome and Greece propaganda books in west (whose literatures were formed after 1rst cent or just few years before) and whose own history included complete refusal to use numbers in place of sticks by order of the clergy until much recent centuries!

Vedic age maths & great site re our Hindu Vedic history as documented by actual Vedic Hindus!

The Laffer curve can help better explain it perhaps since it certainly explains how co efficients in a given model produce negative outcomes in the long run production curve and the causal effect is also indeed a form of flagellation! For the sake of historical essence and purity, this work is analogous to utilizing aggregate diminishing knowledge of Vedic history (background in Economics as well:) and distorting it as the author deems worthwhile

Taken from an Amazon review of Wendy Doniger’s work “This book wonderfully illustrates the fact that merely possessing two Ph.D. degrees, from prestigious universities though they may be, doesn’t necessarily free one’s mind from deep rooted biases and prejudices”

nor those biased opinions and critiques of others whose history is also rooted in Celtic crosses per se. Interesting side note: the eating of horses, cows, elephants and most animals is strictly prohibited in the Vedas (type sanskrit meaning anu vedabase in Google and find verse 3/6/28). I believe our history and texts are distorted to defend horse and cow eating in France and Ireland since the Bible states “thou hath dominion over all creatures”. There is some need to bastardize our religion and history, in my opinion…and it should not be taken lightly that a Professor is doing this.

Sanskrit texts to those readers who ‘have time to read and form biased opinions (though referred to as fact?) on our history, religion, and our texts’.

Ashvamedh Yagnya is in reality: a horse would sit through a ceremony where mantras were chanted and then he would be let go- whosever kingdom he then walked into, that king would either have to give up his kingdom to the king the horse belonged to or fight for his kingdom. There did not ever exist animal sacrifice in majority Vegetarian India then or now. Vedic texts nor India’s Vedic history. British published a dictionary referred to as Vachaspatyam – a book literally, of wrong translations. Max Mueller who referred to the Vedas as “intended from the beginning for an uncivilized race of mere heathens and savages contains a great deal of what is childish and foolish” was behind the paying and distorting of Sanskrit Vedic texts.

I would say Europe had many more feudal wars than India who in her 10,000 year history did not systematically anhiallate foreign cultures as Spain Portugal and England did to the Americas; please see Christopher Columbus genocide Daniel Paul article in Google.

What happened re Tippoo Sultan followed the British invasion initiated in Bengal. During British stay in India 10 million Indian Hindus died of famine (an approved genocidal tactic). This did not occur previously in India’s history except during Uk’s 100 year stay in which all things valuable in India were plundered including wealth from our industries. Our GDP plummeted by 20 percentage points from their stay. Invasions are never pretty- Tippoo Sultan killing a few hundred versus all of our wealth and 10 million innocent Indian Hindus is like comparing a drop to a sea; or think of the millions of Natives in America who lost their lives which occured at the same time.

Maya in Sanskrit means illusion. You can still visit and see the ancient astrnomical tables

Article above is regarding plumbing knowledge found in South America; Indus Valley Civilization maintained the oldest and most sophisticated plumbing system.

article on Democracy in Ancient India, which preceded Greek ideologies (promoted to fuel Euro centric superiority complex claiming that Democratic thought did not exist outside of Europe), from article:

“Though evidence for non-monarchical government goes back to the Vedas, 12 republican polities were most common and vigorous in the Buddhist period, 600 B.C.-A.D. 200. At this time, India was in the throes of urbanization. The Pali Canon gives a picturesque description of the city of Vesali in the fifth century B.C. as possessing 7707 storied buildings, 7707 pinnacled buildings, 7707 parks and lotus ponds, and a multitude of people, including the famous courtesan Ambapali, whose beauty and artistic achievements contributed mightily to the city’s prosperity and reputation. The cities of Kapilavatthu and Kusavati were likewise full of traffic and noise.13 Moving between these cities were great trading caravans of 500 or 1000 carts”

I apologize that it is my history and culture, so I found it necessary to poke fun at someone who would make “light of it” and ask “why bother having an opinion of the author” then go on about the biography of the author, and then on about how it is “utterly ridiculous that such ideas are accepted into mainstream”

I am just fascinated by all the paradoxes and subpar opinons on opinons and blogs of those things that are important to actual Hindu Indians, sorry.

and thank you Gorigirl for removing the “overall 40% of South Asian males are marrying out while 25% of South Asian females are marrying out”.

Perhaps she has too much time to form opinions on subjects that don’t really matter to her and opinions on those that it does matter to!
What the heck, lol!! I wish I had that much time!!

I ask you for once – IF you care so much about Hindu scripture and History and its preservation, picking fights on Blog should be the last thing anyone should do.

Dharmic philosophy and spirituality has immense impact on todays world. However hard anyone tried or tries, Hinduism wont go away – it will be rediscovered again and again. At the same time fighting for Hindu supremacy is as lunatic as Muslims claiming that Quran is ONLY word of so called God. Man is innately competitive and its natural that there will be clash of societies. I would suggest you take the chill pill and carefully read our history and separate it out from our values and spirituality. The moment you blur the lines between what happened to us as men in real history and what happened as per scripture/holy books, things get nasty …
Adios!
