To consider antireligion instead of atheism.
“The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.”

With the exception of the universe of liberated #souls, you could find yourself here on #earth, in the realm of the #heavens or the realm of #hell.
You could free yourself from the shitty universe by committing sallekhana. But this means voluntary #death by #fasting, so... meh?

Beautiful Jamui.
As believed by Shwetambar sect of Jainism, Kundghat at Jamui hills (Lachhuar) is the birthplace of 24th Tirthankar Lord Mahavir. The district is covered with scenic beautiful hills and forest.

The #Jain teaching on #nonviolence toward #plants has much to offer on living ethically with others.
The first paragraph is quoted from Sadhvi Shilapi’s chapter, The Environmental and Ecological Teachings of Tirthankara Mahariva, in #Jainism and #Ecology: Nonviolence in the #WebOfLife.

Eight-year-old Indian diamond heiress who became a nun
When a child renouncing the world is deified and the community celebrates, it can all seem like a big party to her, but Prof Nilima Mehta, a child protection consultant in Mumbai, says the "difficulty and deprivation the child will go through is immense".

@gunhee From "The Autobiography of a Yogi"

This is an extensive look at one section of this online book.
I discovered this while searching for different versions of "The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali", translated to English by a few different writers & essayists.
This may or may not serve your interests.

Such existential angst is generated by the ontological ideas of ancient Indian thought.
In a way, this "pain" is produced by discovering oneself existing as part of the cycle of reincarnations (saṃsāra) and is resolved by the existence of a possible release from it (mokṣa).
In addition to being a key element for #Hinduism, it is the basis on which the non-theistic religions of a salvific nature in India, such as #Buddhism and #Jainism, are built.

Sri Ranganatha Temple in Srirangapatna, #Karnataka
It is a #Hindu temple. But how many of us know it's connection with #Jainism??
Records say that it was constructed extensively using material of 101 #Jain temples demolished nearby at Kalaswadi by a Vaishnavite Timmaya.
