French leader cancels CPAC speech after Bannon's apparent Nazi salute
If it speaks, acts, and looks like a Nazi…
At what point in time will history refer to Americans in the United States as “Good Americans” as it did to the Germans after World War II? Good Germans as referred to were citizens who claimed they were unaware of or uninvolved in the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime, particularly the Holocaust. -
Sources for Moksha?
1. Bhagavad Gita – The Gita is perhaps the most famous text that addresses liberation (Moksha). In it, Lord Krishna explains that Moksha comes through selfless action, devotion (bhakti), knowledge (jnana), and detachment from the material world. The Gita emphasizes that when a person surrenders to the Divine, they can transcend their ego and achieve Moksha.
2. Upanishads – The Upanishads, the philosophical texts that form the foundation of Vedic thought, explore the concept of Brahman (the supreme, all-pervading consciousness) and the Atman (individual soul). Moksha is often defined as realizing that the Atman is one with Brahman. Notably, texts like the Mundaka Upanishad and the Chandogya Upanishad elaborate on the nature of liberation and the ultimate realization of the self.
3. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali – In these texts, Patanjali describes the eight-limbed path of yoga (Ashtanga Yoga) as a way to reach Moksha through discipline, meditation, and ethical conduct. In his teachings, Moksha is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind, leading to a state of liberation and enlightenment.
4. Brahma Sutras – These texts further expand on the teachings of the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita, focusing on the philosophy of liberation through the understanding of the nature of the self and the universe.
5. Puranas – Texts like the Vishnu Purana, Shiva Purana, and Bhagavata Purana speak of Moksha, often narrating stories of saints and devotees who attained liberation, highlighting devotion as a key aspect of the journey to liberation.
The concept of Moksha varies across different schools of thought, but most believe it signifies freedom from the cycle of samsara and from the physical plane's constraints. Moksha is often described as:
Freedom from Rebirth: The soul (Atman) is no longer bound to the material world. It merges with Brahman, the supreme consciousness, and transcends the cycle of reincarnation.
State of Pure Consciousness: Moksha is described as a state of pure, unbounded bliss and knowledge. It's not necessarily a "place" but a realization of the soul’s eternal, unchanging nature.
Unity with the Divine: The soul, no longer encumbered by desires or the material body, experiences oneness with the divine.
Regarding your question about whether Moksha means leaving Earth to go to another planet, the answer lies more in the spiritual rather than the physical realm.
In traditional Hindu thought, Moksha is not necessarily about physically leaving the planet or traveling to another place; rather, it is the realization that we are not bound to the physical world in any way.
The idea of Moksha is liberation from the limitations of the material world—our perceptions, desires, and attachments—thus, it transcends the need to go to any other physical location.
In some philosophies, particularly in the Advaita Vedanta tradition, Moksha is the realization that there is no separation between the individual soul (Atman) and the supreme soul (Brahman). The material world, including the Earth, is seen as illusion (Maya), and upon liberation, you recognize that everything, including other planets, is part of the same cosmic reality.
In some texts, particularly those from the Buddhist or Jain traditions, there is mention of various celestial realms or planes of existence (like the heavenly planets in the Hindu texts). These realms are seen as places where beings live in a state of greater happiness, but they are still subject to samsara (the cycle of birth and rebirth). Moksha, however, transcends even these higher realms, as it is freedom from all forms of existence.
It’s natural to feel the desire to escape the struggles of the material world, but the path to Moksha is about inner transformation and liberation from attachment to the physical world. The search for peace and a better existence isn't about escaping to another place but realizing the true nature of the self.
As you seek liberation, the question of where to go is not about physical destinations but about the inner journey. The soul, in its essence, is already beyond time, space, and form. It simply needs to realize this truth. Visit my latest post - Sanatan ain't about mantra tantra yagya puja paath alone. It's about awakening the divine within you - by puja of Devtas - we must strive to become devta. That's the moksh.
May your path be filled with peace and clarity. 🙏 Sitaram 🌞 -

It’ll only get better from here. Keep yourself busy for next 6 months. It’s time to pursue that hobby that you always wanted to do. Spend time and money towards things like gym, hike, traveling. Or do Uber for fun and have interesting conversations with people. -

If Anger Leads to Hell, Why Do Lord Shiva and Rishis Get Angry?
Once you are purified, anger takes on a different feel. It is more like an anger at an injustice done as opposed to anger due to being triggered from childhood. It has a different flavor and it is over quicker. -

Why do we Indians not realize that by treating dark-skinned people as ugly and inferior, and light-skinned people as beautiful, we are keeping ourselves inferior to the world, even in our own minds?
Indians don't even try to hide it😭 I have a neighbour who constantly compliments my friend who is fairer than me (I'm also fair but not as fair as her). My friend is pretty but I always have harder fits it's so obvious why she does that lol. -

As a Frenchman, I'm watching Fox News. I'm amazed. It really is a state propaganda channel, with ads (sometimes for drugs!) every 5 minutes.
I also love their choice of photos of the Democrats they show.A lways degrading. And the praise for Trumps... Honestly, I've never seen that in any other country before. It's fascinating. -
