Indians in India don't demand quality 4 themselves. 4 example, even in relatively expensive apartments(₹1 crore+), there's no finish. Gaps under doors, windows not sealing, paint splashes everywhere especially in bathrooms, & my biggest grouse, damp internal walls when it rains.
Replying to
Is it capitalism or culture of the organizations the culprit? Meritocracy never worked anywhere, connections and luck gets you placed in top places, at least in my experience. Capitalism at least lets the org to fail and warrant a change.
Due to politics, the situation of migrant population, not just in TN but across India, is only going to get worse. Politicians across the lines must get together. But they won't. Sad.
K shaped recovery. The rich are going destination weddings with a budget of 5 Crores. Farmers are looking at acute distress.

Among all religious people that I have encounters the avg H by and large knows least about the multifarious structure of dharma, and how it fundamentally differs from monotheistic thinking. They also do not know which text is applicable as authoritative in which path in dharma.
This intellectual bankruptcy makes it easy to mislead avg Hs. Anyone who can speak well even if rubbish or against dharma, will smoothly lead and like sheep people will follow nodding head.
But, every deviation from shastra-s in upasana eventually extracts its pound of flesh.
2024 will be a war between those who see India as a civilisational state (represented by PM and his ) and those who see it is a union of states like EU (represented by and his British manufactured )
After scouring the mainstream Indian media headlines, I watch and read UK news just to remind myself of what a genuinely independent media looks like

Baby steps. First practical step towards trusting others is to trust yourself. When you know you can deal with certain possible negative outcomes, especially on an emotional level, easily, you are more inclined to trust someone, or think if it as giving them a chance /1
A lot of our misgivings here come from fear damage to self image translating into emotional hurt, even when it comes to material losses. When you are free of your own emotional hangups, you see the same losses in a different light. You also see the “faults” of that person in /2
the right measure, with no under or overestimation.U know how to talk to them better, and while living in that inner space, u see them clearer even from the onset.You love them like you would a kid, who you would lovingly not give a gun. Huge learning curve here /3
You also tend to get drawn to the right people and right people tend to get drawn to you. You also have clearer boundaries and others can sense it. Mother draws boundaries in plenty of cases /4 end
Life teaches you psychology pretty fast :) . Now over to Mother and Sri Aurobindo
How do we define Maya? According to Vedanta it is a simple insight. If we can measure something it is sakara साकार। साकार means that which has a form. This power of the Formless निराकार limiting itself to become Form is Maya. Maya is also Power as in Yoga Maya of Sri Krishna.
The root of Maya is ma- which means to measure. Gonda used to say the root is Ma- which means mother. Zimmer felt Maya is the creator’s or artist’s power. Sri Aurobindo clarified that Maya is not falsehood but the power of Divine Shakti. Maya may means magic power too.
“Sanatan Dharma for Sri Aurobindo is constantly evolving. It is not anchored to or bound by any dogmatic forms or rigid structures of the past.
There is no doubt that it is Sanatan Dharma that is holding India together.”
I tell .
कल को मोहन भागवत जी मनुस्मृति बर्निंग चैलेंज भी कर सकते हैं और सबसे पहले हर्ष मधुसूदन और कुशल मेहरा को टैग करेंगे
Language debates are amusing. My mother tongue is ଓଡ଼ିଆ #Odia and I love it. Sri Aurobindo has written Savitri in #English. So I support English. Mohammed Rafi songs are immortal. So I support #Hindi. Sandhya Mukhopadhyay is the best female singer. So I love and support #Bengali.
Longing for Hindu Rashtra is as valid in a democracy as aspiring for EU-type federation in India. These are contesting political dreams and there shouldn't be any animosity involved. Constitution of India has served its purpose and population growth necessitates smaller nations.
Democracy and Market are identical in the respect that both will throw the best in a free competitive environment. But in India, such a thing isn't happening. Human nature is the cause and in this case lack of individuality and quest for excellence. Hegemony of Mythology exacerbates.
