So you won't be Indulging us with any proof then?.... I really was hoping to be enlightened...

So now we have a new character called 'kaundinya', this is better than sitcom. I suppose it would be too bothersome to as you to provide the source of this information (I'm still waiting for source for the first one). Who says history is boring when it is embellished with so much vivid...

So there was another jyotishi Maharaj, other than sage Asita (only person mentioned by buddhist tradition), who predicted Buddha's future asceticism. Who would this be, some direct ancestor of the venerable bejan daruwala... But wait, I know your answer - don't know the name, because the blog...

One must notice there is a difference between atheism of Marxist socialism, which communist states and individuals with leftist bent adhere to and the atheism that prevails in western society (namely Western Europe /USA) Karl Marx's atheism is corollary to his critique of religion. For Marx...

I was not asking for the name of jyotishya text (why would I want it) I'll give you one more chance, give me the name of the text/treatise which you claim describes ' prediction of Buddha's future asceticism based on jyotishya (horoscope as we commonly understand). Ashvagosha' s 'Buddhacarita'...

First you say ' how would you know the name of such a text and in the next line you claim it's a well known biography (apparently so well known that you don't know its name). Clearly the term contradiction does not exist in your dictionary. The short answer is that you don't know. Your loops in...

Let's leave your thoughts on my IQ out of this, since to be fair you will be out of your depth here, and concentrate on "which book/treatise/inscription refers to your so called to the jyotishya of Buddha. Please be kind enough to refer the name and possible date..

May be you can help us by stating the book which refers to this so called 'jyotishya of Buddha'. All known biography /hagiography's of Buddha are later than the common era. P. S: I can assure you that I can provide a good account on the 'limits of my knowledge, but I'm afraid you are right now...

Because Varahamihira was a first rate astronomer and his works on astronomy should be treated on par with Arya bhatta, Brahmaguputa, Bhaskara et al... Bruhatsamhita is a treatise in the class of samhita, which means it was an encyclopedic collection of all extant works on astronomy, astrology...

You continue to betray lack of knowledge in history, but curiously you seem to know very little about astrology either. I'm trying to be funny, in fact I'm making lot of effort not to sound condescending. I usually expect very high standards from my interlocutor. The proof of the "Horashastra"...

It is quite unbelievable that you are trying to portray a pseudoscience like astrology (jyotishya) as some kind fact and logic based discipline, but dismiss nearly three thousand years of highly developed Indian philosophy, as some kind of tea shop opinion. So all the works of Aitreya...

If you survey the vast span of Hindu religious literature, composed over the last three thousand years or so, one fundamental constant is that, a single universal consciousness pervades all things. Now the question that animated all philosophers and thinkers, from krishna down to Swami...

Dear Mr Tiwari, if you ever get time please do look up some serious literature, from genuine scholars, on Shankaracharya and his exposition on "Advaita". Advaita means "non dual",all experiences of duality or phenomenon(including all material things like earth, moon, your mobe) is illusion( Maya...

The Advaita interpretation of Vedanta philosophy by Shankara, does not recognize any universe or entities (human or otherwise) but a single universal consciousness (Brahm- Brahma Satyam Jagat Mithya). So where is there any question of connections.... Let's first try to understand what our...

Intellectuals and philosophers from the Rama krishna mission seems to be more close to Shankaracharya school of atheist philosophy, even more than Sringeri vidyapeetha or the Kanchi kamamoti.... It's also ironic that so many temples in karnataka, kerala and TN, are claimed to have been...

From the ' Nasadiya Sukta'... You must listen to the beautiful rendering of the first few slokas from the sukta in OST of 'Bharat ek khoj' the telescreen adaptation of Pt Nehru's Discovery of India '

30 character.............. The 'Big Bang' has now mostly been substituted with the Big Inflation. Instead of a super massive explosion, as envisioned in a bang, most physicist are coming around to the idea, first proposed by Alan Guth of MIT, that the universe( along with all the matter)...

There is no one universal all binding concept of the divine,and nor will the debate on such a divine which is limited to a particular concept be all encompassing.For an orthodox Hindu the debate between atheists and believer, which confined to the doctrines of christian theology,is like two...
