Similarly, BFF - Best Friends Forever. For creating a better User Experience, facebook has included some interactions via their JS.
Without knowing the true meaning of what BFF stands for, many ignorant people on FB are falling to a fake news that if you type BFF in comment and if it turns in green color, it means your account on FB is protected.
Today's progress on the book. Introducing Vagbhatananda, yet another advaita vedanti from the same Ezhava caste. Unlike Sree Narayana Guru who built temples for idol worship, Vagbhatananda was against it. He believed in the practice of Atmavidya (self knowledge/consciousness) and again contradicting with the former he believed everyone could pursue the path of knowledge and he stood against hierarchy. https://mastodon.social/media/IJuDLqx6BGgQdJqHqkk
The people in this image are BJP spokesperson, Nupur Sharma (extreme left), Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi (2nd from right) and AAP spokesperson Alka Lamba (extreme right). They're fine with holidaying with one another, though they work against each other's parties on their job. https://social.systemreboot.net/attachment/76869
This would be fine... except that we all live inside an enormous series of prisons called nation-states. Within these nation-states we're forced to participate in a game based on artificial scarcity called capitalism, and losing the game means suffering or death. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you're not a billionaire but you're defending capitalism you're a rat defending traps. You hope one day you'll be the one who can get the cheese without getting caught, but that's the myth that powers the system. (https://vimeo.com/244405542) https://t.co/PoGRt0SfoV
@demonshreder I was expecting your reply :-) Materialism doesn't say idealism is wrong but it just says ideals has to be super imposed on material world, for material is primary and ideals are formed on top of the conditions of the material world.
Subscribing to the same philosophy Hindu Reformists sort to change the status quo. I am worried today we have lost that kind of action.
@prashere Karma is the reality of the world. Where Aaron Swartz failed, Alexandra Elbakyan succeeded. They were very similar in their ideals and approaches but the primary difference (IMO) was that TPB wasn't raided one more time. The last raid of TPB which caused it to shut down for 2-3 months, gave birth to the swarm of FOSS infrastructure popping up everywhere, people coming together to share resources against a common enemy eg. https://github.com/unblocked-pw/unblocked-pw.github.io
@prashere This changed world was unavailable to Swartz. To Elbakyan, it was obvious what to do with Sci-Hub. She would gain help from hackers all around the world to keep the ship sailing ( eg https://whereisscihub.now.sh/ this came up last week).
Here I could only accept that world was as it was and Swartz did the best he could but was murdered. This acceptance, created in me, an empathy, which fueled my ideals. This would be impossible for me without the practical methods of Advaita.
அறிவியலும் தொழில்நுட்பமும் நமக்கு எதிராக பயன்படுத்தப்படும் அதே வேலையில், அவற்றை மாற்றத்திற்கு பயன்படுத்தும் போக்கும் முறையே நடைபெற்று வருவதும் மகிழ்ச்சியளிக்கிறது.
Today's progress on the book. Yesterday, I shared a page from the book that highlighted the worst of caste practices.
Today, tracing back to the roots of social reforms and other movements in Kerala, introducing a spiritual guru named Sree Narayana Guru who was born on a lower Ezhava caste and subscribed to "Advaita Vedanta" philosophy.
Unlike traditional vedanti's, Sree Narayana Guru didn't ignore the world as Maya or the existence of caste oppression as illusion. He sought to fight back.
