Unfortunately, Modi is not going to contest the 2029 elections and there will be a change. He will be 78+ at that time and he is of the opinion that people should leave politics at that age. My prediction is that he would become a monk.

Loans with a reasonable interest are OK. I remember, at one time government of India had a limit of 6% on personal loans. That was quite fair. Perhaps in Muhammad's time, money lenders demanded upward of 24%. Today, the limit in India is upto 24% for NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Companies). I...

Generally, Arab businessmen are the very corrupt when it comes to monetary exploitation of people from other countries, since their governments support them. Currently, an Indian woman is under a death sentence for murder of her exploiter in Yemen.

Who decides that Bahai House of Justice, Bahai Militia that Shoghi Rabbani talked about? In India, it is decided by the Supreme Court of India and generally it is very liberal. "The Indian Constitution guarantees freedom of expression under Article 19(1)(a), allowing all citizens to express...

Talk of that to Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Ali Hosseini Khamenei and others.

O Bhikkhu, these thoughts do not suit a follower of Shakya Muni.

I find no evidence for it. No evidence, no belief. You accept that you have a soul, but cannot prove it to me or even to yourself. It is a personal view, a faith based on what people/religions say or a superstition.

Anussava (Kesamutti Sutta). Buddha did not have much use of faith. He said 'check for yourselves'. Niggantha Natiputta had his own philosophy. Why belittle him? He had his own five jewels. Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya Aparigraha. Not bad. Not much different from what Buddha said.

In India, we are having great fun. War, Politics, Tariffs, Tax Cuts. Distancing from USA which wants to dominate us, not moving away from Russia, moving closer to China.

I know that. That is why I said 'they might'. Did not make a categorical statement. Chances are not high, but possibility cannot be ruled out. I do not have a soul. What is 'spirit realm'?

Well, Commandment of the Abrahamic God.

Government bore the cost of vaccination. We were just asked to come. In many places, health workers came by themselves. When we have 1460 million people to care about, cost matters. Therefore, no Pfizer.

Youtube videos and scriptures talking of God's displeasure :D. Economic upheavals happen at times. But then the world settles down to a changed order. Of course, the snake-oil sellers, Abrahsamic God's Covenants, in their many versions, will not leave humanity alone. Humans will correct...

It is possible that molecules of our body meet each other somewhere, at sometime. They might be doing so even at this moment. After all, the exhaled air has molecules which were once part of our bodies.

the whole problem, people who swear by Emperor's new clothes.

For me, it is that. I do not believe in soul, any second life or an ever-lasting life. We live only once.

I am clearly pro-vax and will argue in its favor. India had a good experience with vaccines. Polio, Smallpox, Covid, or vaccination in children. Of course, I have no authority to force anyone if the person is anti-vax.

Where? Buddha images are everywhere.

There is no fun in being common. I am not. :D Why? Reincarnation is coming back of molecules as part of living or non-living things. If the calcium part of ashes of my body goes to form a sandstone, then I have reincarnated as a sandstone. .. The rest is your take, whatever you believe.
