:) I use them without any belief in them, other than as secular advice. I also use Biblical and Quranic stories in which I do not believe. I warn my Hindu co-religionists against them. Do so with my wife too. She would just switch on religious, devotional songs, astrology and feng shui programs...

That can be done without submission to any imaginary God and his so-called son, prophets, messengers, manifestations or mahdis. They only bring in conflicts, superstitions and falsehoods (soul, heaven, hell, end of days, judgment, salvation, Satan, Angels, etc.).

IMHO, God is the greatest psychological subjugation.

Sankara's six verses to 'Nirvana' (AtmaShaTkam , nirvANaShaTkam, Atma Shatkam - Wikipedia): "aham nirvikalpo nirākāra rupo, vibhuh vyāpya sarvatra sarvendriyanām; sadā me samatvam, na muktih, na bandhah, chidānadarupah Shivo'ham Shivo'ham." - 6 (I am formless, option-less Lord enveloping all...

Absolutely no need in what I believe - Sankara's Advaita (non-dual) Hinduism. All things in the universe are none other than Brahman. That does not need any salvation, since there is no other to salvage it. Sankara's six verses to 'Nirvana' (AtmaShaTkam , nirvANaShaTkam): "sadA me samatvam...

Please note that the appeal for compensation has been made on 25th February, 2025; some 6 years after the start of the pandemic. There have been no such other appeals till now. That indicates and use of covid-19 in India was safe. It was given to some 1 billion people free of cost. O.K. I stop...

Such a compensation is awarded by Courts, and Indian Courts are not governed by JP Morgans or Rothschilds. The Central Government said there is no such policy. But Supreme Court can decide otherwise...

Governments do give such loans. Even if the loan amount is lost, the money remains in circulation and benefits economy. After Covid, Indian government gave such loans without any guarantee. Such loans are available even now. But this would not be possible for private people.

It is not a simple question. That is why Islam has three options and various views. Then it depends on the availability of money and that is why Central Bankers change the interest rates when necessary. It is beyond me, it may not be that for you. IMHO, a limit of 12% interest is the best solution.

Government of India provides free medical aid to all 1.47 billion people in India. If it is established that a person died because of vaccination, our Supreme Court will ensure that the family gets compensation. Some medical and other people died because of Covid in performance of their duties...

There is nothing in the universe which is not Brahman. Mandukya Upanishad "Sarvam Khalu Idam Brahma" (All this here is Brahman) Another topic mentioned in the thread: Mods do their duty in the interest of the forum. If they warn me, I accept my mistake. Mods do not hate anyone.

Sometimes it is necessary for welfare of all. Take the example of small-pox and polio in India. If vaccination against these were not meandatory, we would have had the diseases even now.

We have not interacted much, the other members here know that I am a strong atheist, I do not even believe in possibility of existence of any God. I also do not believe in existence of soul, reincarnation, heaven, hell, judgment, etc. You can say that I am a perfect model of what atheism should...

What is mentioned as 'Ishwara' is the poet's choice, not mine. I see it differently, as just a saying in our culture. Padma is sure the name of Goddess who sits on a lotus, Lakshmi and Sarswati. But Padma also means 'virtues'. It is used in this verse in plural.

That is not a mountain but a pyramid showing the effect of age. I am that. I was always proud of my nose. Wanted a broader fore-head, now I have more than what I ever wished for. :D
