Much rumors about India's imminent name change. Why is India planning to change its name, creating a rift between geography and politics?
For the lovers of language and culture, for those enamored with matters Indian, for the students reading Sanskrit and Pali with me, ..., this small note on sense and nonsense of dropping India in favor of Bhārat.

@CorvusTheFallen 📜✨ Aus dem Rigveda (ca. 1500–1000 v. Chr.):

"Wir haben den Soma getrunken und sind unsterblich geworden; wir haben das Licht erreicht, die Götter entdeckt."

🥦💫 Wie alt ist doch die spirituelle Verbindung zu Pflanzen wie #Cannabis?

#Rigveda #Soma #GeschichtederPflanzen

Flower-like the heels of the wanderer,
His body groweth and is fruitful,
All his sins disappear,
Slain by the toil of his journeying.

— #AitareyaBrahmana 7.15, #Rigveda

If you're up for listening to/participating in a Sanskrit mantra while meditating, read the description below the video in the link below and then give it a listen. I felt that it was so powerful/sacred that I'm gonna give it a week or two between listens; may it move you too... 🕉️​
