One religion focuses on living a good, decent life, doing one’s dharma while being cognizant of impact of one’s actions over many births.

Other focuses only on after life, advocates even hurting others in its name.

Under which system can they coexist - serious answers pls

I’m not looking for partition should have been thorough type answers. That doesn’t help

Even other countries face this challenge but there, it is between liberal society founded on Abrahamic principles and this religion.

India is unique because of the nature of Sanatana Dharma
What sort of a person would even kill another just to get to heaven.

1. values his own existence so poorly that life has no meaning for him

2. Or brainwashed to believe that some lives aren't even lives so they can be taken

3. or rewards of some mythical heaven worth killing
In any society the ones with no hope for their life are most dangerous.

So I can understand why Modi Ji is working to bring them into mainstream and give them hope in life away from those who have kept them in ghettos.

That takes care of the 1st group.

What abt the other 2?
Even if the 1st group reforms we have some hope.

But the second and third - those that don’t value non-believers’ life is worth it or those that think promise of heaven is more important. How does one handle them.

Hoping for internal reformation hasn’t worked out.

What now?
This is where society must call out the three groups. Embrace the first one by giving them hope

But let the other two know that whatever rewards they expect in heaven their stay in this world after they commit violence would be worse than anything they imagine.

Carrot & stick
Never mistake.

One civilization feels like doing good deeds is the way to attain Moksha (NOT same as heaven).

Other thinks even killing is worth doing to get to heaven.

In this clash only one will win. Who will it be?
Some things the civilization of sanatana dharma must do

1. Yes we consider our relationship to divine personal but we were a community. Rebuild connections

2. Go to local temple on certain day as community. We used to do this: Friday - Devi, Mon - shiva etc. you aren’t alone
3. Create WA or other groups to communicate at least with people in your street. Watch out for one another.

4. You can still keep your traditions and practices and your community without using caste as a wall. They will use it to divide you. Realize you are Hindu first.
5. Use power of your wallet. Even locally withdraw support from those who think your life is worthless.

6. Boycott brands that support conversion or don’t condemn violence against you.

7. Vote blindly for BJP. Defeat every anti Hindu party first. Then ask BJP to do it’s job
8. Finally I can’t stress this enough.

Please live as a good Hindu and raise a Hindu family in touch with its roots and culture. Don’t worry about those that look down on Sanskari / traditional types. They aren’t your friends.

With Margazhi month upon us I’m going to try and post some verses from Thiruppavai with English translation. Apologizing ahead if there are any errors.

Thank you @GunduHuDuGa dor reminding us about Margazhi


Here are some resources to both get the verses and read in detail the translation and the more detailed treatment of the meaning of the devotional verses.

#Thiruppavai

Andal is Devi’s amsavatharam, Sri Devi incarnated in the form of Seethā performed upadeshak to the people of the earth. It is said that she even did Upadesham to Ravana who did not heed her but in his next birth as Sisupālan redeemed himself.

Through her #Thiruppavai prabhandham she is showing us the way to reach Bhagavan’s feet.

Verse 1 continued below

Paasuram (Verse) 1 of Thiruppavai

மார்கழித் திங்கள் மதி நிறைந்த நன்னாளால்

On the auspicious full moon day of the Margazhi month

Well ornamented maidens, those desirous of taking bath in the holy River please come on
Wanted to share some thoughts on the topic of work life balance that @Kishoreciyer1 brought up and on which @wataboutery so eloquently expounded.

Early in my career I was lucky enough to work in roles I loved and under nurturing managers who were my mentors. (Contd)


2/n
I worked hard and long. But I always returned home not contended with that day’s work and hungry for more. That satisfaction at work made my home life enjoyable. I found time to play badminton and volleyball. Work and life were perfectly balanced.

3/n
I couldn’t wait to go to work. Great team and good manager.

But as I got married and responsibilities increased demands on my time grew, especially as just married man helping my wife acclimatize with US.

I sought work - life balance because ..everyone seeks, right?

4/n
As luck would have it 9/11 happens, economy goes for a tail spin, and my company files for bankruptcy. So time to buckle up.

This is when I realized work life balance isn’t what I sought. I wanted a satisfying work that did not require me to compromise key personal goals

5/n
Working hard to keep up the morale in a company in bankruptcy isn’t easy. But that gave my career a mission.

When you are passionate about your work and committed to it, and have a good manager you can find ways to be effective without compromising your personal life
