  1. Also as I understand, the Samaṇa (Sanskrit: Śramaṇa) movement -- including Buddhism, Jainism, et al -- was the organised response/resistance of south Asia's tribal and IVC/Dravidian peoples to the spread of Vedism, and it prompted the Upaniṣadic movement within Vedic Hinduism.

  15. Parts of Ranakpur Jain Temple interior were lit by the direct afternoon sunbeams, when I was there. And I was hunting for the spots where fragments of carvings were in the light contrasting with much darker surrounding.

  17. The History of Sushruta and the Famous 'Indian Nose Job'

    The famous Cowasji’s unknown “plastic surgeon” was not an elite Ayurvedist, but was nevertheless a skilled practitioner, and belonged to the larger traditions and knowledge-systems of medicine in the subcontinent.

  22. Dear Friends of the #dead and #dying,
    As we may know
    #death is another capital generator (for some). As I reach my end and prepare for #Sallekhana
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sallekhana
    I will have to first:
    - Move towards a
    #vegan diet (currently a failed #vegetarian)
    - Get a suitable death councilor
    ​:gi:​
    - Prepare my composting
    ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​
    In other words I won't be leaving my body to science. It would probably be rejected on medical grounds. Also have much to do, to ensure my karma is chameleoned.

    Have you planned for morbidity? Are you already gothed?
    😇
