Euthanasia is now legal in India. A prior declaration and approval from a committee of doctors is necessary.

Thanks, friends. As I said, seeing him live was more painful.

After long illness, parkinsonism. Was being fed by a tube to the stomach. Was immobile. And he was once the strongest of the family and handsome as well, very blue eyes, more than mine which take a greenish tinge. Relief for him and his family. We lived together for 50 years. Our sons have gone...

Beyond one's mind are views different from one's mind. :)

If they are same then why two? That is why Upanishads said 'Aham Brahmasmi' (I am Brahman) and 'Tat twam asi' (That is what you are). Duality is not true, IMHO.

God? What God? I am a non-believer. Francis is incorrect here. There are hundreds of Gods and Goddesses for Hindu believers. All this is fake sweet talk, aimed only at proselytization. 'See, I am so considerate. Bible has made me so.'

If you go by faith without need for evidence, then there is nothing to learn, you learn nothing. You can't be your own guru. Lit-up people exist only in scriptures.

You can see the mounts of deities, bull for Shiva, lion for Parvati, peacock for Kartikeya (Murugan). Ganesha's mouse also should be somewhere around. Snake and Crescent for Shiva's ornament.

If that does not describe Shiva, I do not know what will? :D

Shiva is simple. A family person enjoying his drink prepared by his spouse, Parvati, in Himalayan snows, seeing his two sons frolicking around.

And quantum decoherence, wave function collapse, quantum dissipation, quantum error correction, gravitational decoherence, spontaneous quantum collapse (GRW theory), objective collapse theories, quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, quantum zeno effect, quantum interference. Tough for us...

I can do that even without invoking any God or Goddess.

Live in your own make-believe world. ;)

I really do not know as to how all North Indian languages came to be derived from Sanskrit and also influenced the South Indian languages. Even Pali and Prakrit (the Jain scriptural language) around 500 BCE. Something works for PIE languages.

There were people before the last ice-age, and surely they were speaking some language. Language changes but it leaves its imprints that do not disappear even over millenniums. That is why it is brother in English, Bhrata is Sanskrit and Biradar in Persian. So also many other words, in many...

Why Western? Because they may have traveled through the valleys of Kama and Volga rivers to land up in Seroglazovo. Ancient travelers generally followed the river valleys if available.

I am a Hindu Nationalist but not a Hindu chauvinist. If they were centered in Yamnaya region (oldest IE culture near Astrakhan as Seroglazovo, 7000 BCE), the question will be from where they might have come there? Both in Avesta and in RigVeda, there are indications that they came from a place...

Proto-Indo-European goes back to ice-age, prior to 12,000 BCE. That is true. Buddha did not speak of God and rejected the existence of soul. Even prior to Buddha a hymn of RigVeda denied God and did not credit this entity for creation of the universe (1,000 BCE). The Gods are later than this...

What kind of Buddhist are you when you believe in existence of 'atma'? Buddha never said so. I have no 'atma'. Sure, there is a body which needs food. As for mind it creates its own food and eats it too. :)

I checked on 'essen' also. An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/essen - Wikisource, the free online library Yes, Sanskrit has a root 'az/ad' for eating. https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/translate?search=eat&dir=es Although 'Khadati' and 'Bhaskhati', were used more commonly...
