All scientific evidence points to Aryan migration

AUGUST VOICES: This's my new book about which I'll speak at Islamabad Literature Festival #IsbLF #IndiaPakistanDosti

Instructive that the two axes of scholarly discussion which so irks these #Hindutva orgs. are #caste and #sexuality. http://bit.ly/1YrZozF 

Remember that for the common American Abrahamistic mythology is no myth but history

I am a HUGE fan of both Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett. Both are legendary and inspirational... (Amit is a Managing Partner at Prime Venture Partners)
Amazon and Bezos are legendary for paying excruciating attention to detail. The delightful Amazon customer experience in a highly competitive, cut-throat retail business is something to admire. 
What Bezos and crew do with customer experience, Buffett and his CEOs do with the business numbers and their capital allocation process. Almost every business in their portfolio, continues to outperform year after year. And Buffett and crew take pride in finding the best CEOs and staying out of the way.

Takeaway # 4: Are you relentless?

Wit and Humility Great leaders are intense, driven and yet don't take themselves seriously. Both of them, esp. Buffett, thrive on cracking jokes and have a strong sense of humour. They also don't have a problem talking about the world around them. Loved both of their quotes on the current US Presidential election. 

Takeaway # 5:
Take your business seriously but not yourself.
Anonymous

Bezos is obsessively driven by technology while Buffett has religiously shied away from it.

Article on @FoxNews claims Yoga can change DNA. Something #Aurobindo wrote in the #LifeDivine page 876.

@SanyalIndranil why quote from him at all? Does Sri Aurobindo need a certificate of merit?

As to purification, entire purification is not necessary, but some part of the being must have turned to higher things. -Sri Aurobindo

@Swamy39 what is your view on Akhand Bharat ? Sri Aurobindo ensured on 15th August 1947 and said this partition is against Divine force.

Mohit Bansal Retweeted Abhinav Prakash

Sri Aurobindo favoured spiritual anarchism with soul kinship, on spiritual illumination rather than rational enlightenment,on inner change
Sri Aurobindo viewed that infrarational can't be dealt by Reason but by spiritual anarchism based on inner harmony and freedom without chaos
Sri Aurobindo favoured true socialization of spiritual truth,a mere socialization of religion leads to churches, priests, conventions, dogmas

We r eager 2 learn from Swamiji & Sri Aurobindo about India & Akhand Bharatvarsha but not from Sagorika Ghose. We r least bothered about her

@swapan55 Your col @timesofindia is disconcerting. Bankim Chandra, Sri Aurobindo never trusted European hands to do justice 2 Sanskrit.

In Japan one thinks of Swami Vivekananda, Rashbehari Bose & Netaji. A civilisational partnership now being restated

Essential religious practice: A constitution amendment that would put cultural practices like Jallikattu, Nag Panchami, Dahi Handi and all others out of reach of simple PIL process in the courts. If US based NGOs like PETA want to ban Jallikattu they should be made to go to Parliament and use the statutory route. This makes it to the Core Right list because the security of such practices are essential to a pagan religion.

@SavitriEraParty particularly entertainment tax as it is ridiculous to ask people pay tax for being happy ! Govt May tx for being sorry too

Moderate believes in the good passages and the extremist believes in the bad. But it's the same book & that's what matters to the extremist. Like a virus that needs a human cell to survive and thrive, an extremist needs a moderate or else he will die, become extinct. Religion cannot be reformed. It is that book - a novel - that will have no further editions. Religion is Take it or leave it. Leave it. The biggest con in the world is the argument that one can be progressive and liberal and religious all at the same time. Infinitely amusing.
@TheJaggi Yes. Liberal: Total belief in freedom of choice, speech, expression. Religious: Total belief in God, his or her sermons, edicts.
@dire_nair Belief in God is irrational, stemming out of ignorance (wilful or not), fear, and refusal to accept science, logic. @TheJaggi

@ARangarajan1972 @dire_nair To be human is not about always being rational. Human rationality is circumscribed by human emotion & psy needs

@TheJaggi Well-said and true. Problem comes when humans decide to thrust their irrationality on other humans. En masse. @dire_nair

@ARangarajan1972 what about when rationality is thrust upon others? @TheJaggi @dire_nair https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ5qAfyUuWE …

@ARangarajan1972 @TheJaggi Taking science and logic as your God comes from ignorance (born out of limited experience.) Can have a debate.

@simpleriyaz Bharat mata is a Hindu diety. have been so since early 20th century. Why should Sikhs,muslims or Dalits venerate a Hindu deity?

A view: If not for Bharatmata, India would not be divided. We divided ourselves using a fake goddess, IMO. Motherland is an alien concept. We have the concept of Janmabhumi, the place where we were born on earth. :) Janani janmabhumischa swargadapi gariyasi does not mean that you should treat the country you were born in as mother. Misinterpretation. :)
Imaginary Bharatmata is irrelevant today. She was created to hate Muslims and British. It was long ago. We need not continue with hatred. Let us grow up as lovers of our nation, by whatever name you prefer to call, let us shut out Bharatmata. India/Bharat is far above. Let us drown Bharatmata, who was actually Bangamata into the Bay of Bengal with respect. We do not need her anymore. Bharatmata ki koi zaroorat nahin Bharat ko, use Bay of Bengal mein duba do Kali maa ki tarah. She divided India.

Editorial by Mukul Sharma - In 2005, for instance, space scientists had travelled to Tirupati to seek blessings of Lord Venkateswara before launching the rocket and satellite. Commenting on the findings, the chairman of the Centre For Inquiry, Innaiah Narisetti, said: “Our scientists aren’t applying the scientific temper in all fields of life to provide an ethical alternative to religious and paranormal worldviews.” Incidentally,Narisetti who submitted his PhD thesis in 1969, entitled ‘The Philosophical Consequences of Modern Science with Special Reference to Determinism’ to his dissertation director,V Madhusudan Reddi, a devotee of Sri Aurobindo, had it rejected. Reddi refused to allow Narisetti to graduate and his bias prevented the approval of the thesis for 13 more years.The degree was finally awarded only in 1982, after having gone through three examining boards and after the High Court ordered the university to follow rules and decide the case.
