The irony of pointing out Hindu extremism when Islamic extremism is so world wide and destructive but.. Oh let's downplay that. As though Hindu extremism has nothing to do with the genocide of Indians(Hindus) by Muslims during Islamic invasion of India.. People who are Muslims so interested in defending their own lives so desperately should also focus sometimes on how other religious groups are persecuted, murdered by Islamic terrorist (terrorists are extremists) groups. But that should always be swept under the carpet and any criticism of Islam and Muslims is immediately categorized as Islamophobia and persecution of Muslims Yet when people of other religions get murdered by Islamic groups, that's not persecution? Where is justice for those innocent people? Then the argument is that the majority of Muslims are peaceful. By that logic, majority of every religion is peaceful. If you don't want to think that majority of Muslims are violent, then why do you have the right to portray all Hindus as "bad people." So criticizing the actions of Muslims is Islamophobia but spreading hate against Hindus is not Hinduphobia? When Muslims are questioned about the problem of extremism among Muslims, they suddenly go silent or deflect blame on extremists/terrorists. If extremists can exist in Islam, then why is it impossible or unusual for extremists to exist in other religions? Why is that resented yet people are not supposed to resent Islamic extremism out of fear of being labeled an Islamophobe? There are two sides to the coin of Muslim persecution in India. Hindus feel persecuted as well and for good reason given the history of India of being invaded by Muslims in the history of India.. India was invaded by Mughals. Where is the answer for the persecution of Hindus during Islamic Mughal invasion? Isn't that going to create fear and generational trauma? Is there something called Generational Trauma? When I pointed out Godhra riots, I was counteracted by saying it happened in the past. So those Hindu lives that were lost had no value just because it happened in the past? When I pointed out the persecution of Hindus in West Bengal, the argument was that those numbers are less. So if a few Hindus are killed, those lives are irrelevant? If Muslims lose lives Its persecution and if Hindus lose lives, then the justification is that they are a few number? Sorry but this doesn't make sense. It's almost like those advocating about Hindu extremism only see their own suffering but desperately downplay the suffering of Hindus If you are asking for justice for persecution then keep it fair on both sides. You can't expect justice by wounding the other group. Hindus have been persecuted as well. And this long history of persecution is responsible for the hate against Muslims, rather than the other way around You can't hurt others and also play victim at the same time. If you can't take responsibility for Muslim extremism then don't expect Hindus to take responsibility for Hindu extremism. If you don't want all Muslims to be portrayed as terrorists, then don't portray all Hindus as extremists either.. You don't get to do things to others that you don't want done to you. Play it fair.

His opinions don't convince me of any academic excellence. A true academic doesn't surrender to propaganda. Rest of whatever he did as in whatever capacity he was in is just endless rambling. A score is nothing.

I'm coming back to balance

I started this Vastu Shastra journal 4 hours ago at 4 pm. Now it's 8 pm. Vastu shastra or Indian Feng SHUI important-statements-to-repeat-every-day Quote Emotions part 2 Emotions part 1 Important statements

I got a bit triggered and carried away by this thread. I had promised myself that I will work on my triggers. But I still got triggered. I need to be careful to not be triggered so much. It's not good for my health. I should understand that people are triggered by similar reasons, the way I do and I should understand their trigger as well. I don't have the right to question their trigger if I get triggered as well. Also triggered people trigger other people. This means that triggered people (who have a right to be triggered because of their own personal reasons) tend to start triggering topics to trigger everyone and I shouldn't fall for the bait. Look at it scientifically. Look at it objectively. Yes emotions get us carried away. But control those emotions and use fair judgment And since I'm a secondary psychopath, I need to watch out how my emotions dictate my mental state. For a secondary psychopath, emotions can be very intense and strong. So if I get angry, it will be intense anger, if I get anxious, it will be intense anxiety. This does not mean that I am overreacting to a situation. This only means that every time I experience an emotion, it will be experienced much more intensely and strongly than the average population. My emotions are almost visceral. I get physical reactions in my body like arm pain or stomach turning when I am emotional. People don't understand that emotions are experienced by different people on a different scale. Not everyone is feeling the same level of anger or anxiety or fear. It depends on the hypothalamus and amygdala. People who are overly sensitive like me experience emotions on extreme levels. My trauma subsequently will be much more intense as well. Also I need to keep a track of 2 things that constantly upset my life or tilt it away from equilibrium and balance. These two things are — emotions and time.. I don't keep a good track on my emotions. And I keep a poor track of my time. Both lack of emotional control and time mismanagement are hindering my life badly. So what should I do? Control the source of emotional outburst. Control the emotion itself. Use objectivity as much as possible. Keep a constant track on the nature of my emotions and how much it impacts me. And keep a track of time. Don't mismanage Time. Manage time properly. So here I need to focus on three things — —Nature of Emotions —Track and management of time —Nature of actions That will fix it.

I spent 3 hours debating on the forum about a topic that is completely irrelevant to my life simply because it was a heated issue in my country and it triggered me so much. Any attack on Hindus or Hinduism definitely triggers and offends me because Hinduism is such a fantastic religion and most Hindus are very peaceful. So it hurts when it's portrayed wrongly. I can't believe I debated for 3 hours. The debate must have started at 4.24 pm and right now it's 7.24 pm. I'm kinda taken aback. But it's good that I'm aware of how I'm spending my time. I want to spend it in more prudent ways and not waste a drop of time. At this point wasting time is like wasting water. Don't waste a single drop. By the way what was I doing from 3 pm to 4.24 pm? I think I woke up because I remember waking up at 3 pm and not doing anything at all. Just sitting and feeling very drained.. I remember that. Then I wrote a bit about Vastu Shastra after constantly checking the Compass app. Quote Emotions part 2 Emotions part 1 Important statements

So anyway today was a bad day for me. I was generally feeling sick and tired as hell and unable to focus or concentrate. I said I wanted to spend time with Amaya in solitude. So this was my update at 3 pm and then I lost track of time. Update January 20, 2022 3 pm I fell asleep after eating because I was so tired. Constant nightmares have drained me. Today I bought a perfume set as a gift for my mom. I did this to make her happy. Let's see if she appreciates it. Quote Emotions part 2 Emotions part 1 Important statements

The forum can be a time sink. I should be careful about that.

@itachi uchiha since I don't pay much attention to Indian politics, I actually had to check Modi's tenure. So it seems he has served 2 terms as PM already. It's much like how Trump wanted to be a permanent President. I can only hope the heavens to open up and bless the indian people and not let Modi come to power again. A third Modi Term is going to be a bad ride for most Indians. And most Indians can't do much about it.

I think you better start worrying about the entire Indian population. Like I said India is a fake democracy. Because what I'm reading is bad news. An Indian Prime Minister has no tenure restriction. I'm like wtf. This is seriously bad news for a democracy That means a corrupt leader cannot even be thrown out on grounds of maxing out tenure. Can you see this?

Lmao who told you that Hindus like Modi? I'm born Hindu (I later converted to Christianity because my family is partially Christian as well), and I have never liked Modi or BJP. I am waiting for him to go.. He is like the Indian version of Trump. I can't blame Indian public for that. This is not America. American public has real voting power unlike Indian public. America is a real democracy. But India is not a real democracy. It's a fake democracy. There are so many people who don't like Modi. Yet Modi came to power. I don't think that people voted for him. I don't believe it one bit. You have been fooled if you believe that people are voting for Modi or any other person. If the government is so damn corrupt then what is to say that corruption doesn't happen during voting? You think that voting in India is transparent like the US? That would be laughable. There is corruption even in the smallest most insignificant government departments in India. So how do you assume that there won't be corruption in voting? Any political party that wins in India, it does so by doing some middleman corruption and the Indian public does not do anything at all. That's why I called it fake Democracy. Don't think that Hindus are voting for Modi. It could be that nobody voted for Modi and he still came to power. You never know inside politics. Now if Modi comes again, it's not going to be good for anyone, let alone Muslims. But this is unavoidable. All political parties in India are very corrupt. There is no point in expecting anything.

I downloaded an app that is a digital Compass and it shows direction. Vastu Shatra for a new home The external environment and surroundings of the house could have a significant impact on the owner’s providence. Therefore it’s important to lay the foundation strong by choosing the right location with an open space in a lusciously green locality as it will nurture peace, good health, good luck, and positivity in your life as you step into your new home. Bungalows or villas directly connect to the earth’s surface hence the land needs to be chosen prudently. Independent landowners have a major scope of creating ‘Vastu’ compliant homes than apartment owners. Independent owners who aspire to construct a bungalow or villa have the luxury to exclusively choose the location and design of their house as per Vastu Shastra. They can do detailed planning and designing of the living room, dining room, bedroom, guest room, kid’s room, kitchen, staircase, and washrooms as per Vastu Shastra. The first and the foremost thing is the structure design; according to Vastu Shastra the shape of your house should never have an irregular design as erratic shape attracts negativity; therefore always choose asymmetrical design when you are constructing a new house as it will attract prosperity, peace, and good health. In Vastu Shastra, a spiral staircase signifies a corkscrew that attracts negative energy therefore staircase should always be made straight to attract positivity. As per the Vastu Shastra, the dining table should be square in shape and not round as it can create a gap between family members and adversely affect family relationships; also you should place a mirror in front of the dining table as it signifies opulence and abundance in food. Vastu does not recommend study tables and temples to be placed under the beam of your house; also temple should never be connected to the washroom wall as toilets generate negative energies therefore even the lid of the toilet seat should always be covered. To achieve significant growth in your career keep an idol of ‘Lord Kubera’ in the north direction of your house. If possible avoid carrying old stuff from your old house to your new house, also preferably use new materials to build your new home as old stuff may transform the same negative energy of your old home to your new home. Dispose of non-functional things from your homes like broken furniture, tools, electronics, or clocks as it generates negative energy. Always keep functional things in your home to keep positive energy flowing across the house. In multistory apartments land is shared by various individuals and choosing the land location as per subjective preferences is limited. Though the beauty of Vastu Shastra is that it is not restricted to any format or design——- Most builders today offer ‘Vastu’ compliant homes so now you can conveniently choose the right location and entrance of your new home as per Vastu Shastra and with minimum alterations and planning you can effectively design your new home and cultivate the positive benefits of Vastu Shastra. Vastu Shastra for Entrance Door The entrance door is like a mouth from where any energy source enters your home; therefore the entrance of the house should always be situated in an auspicious direction. The entrance door should always open clockwise. The exit of the entrance door should be facing outward towards east, north, or north-east direction to propel positivity, good luck, and prosperity. Avoid blocking the main door by keeping obstacles in fronts of it like a shoe rack, trash cans, or water-based decorative pieces as it will restrict the flow of positive energy coming into your home. Use premium quality timber to build the entrance door; the size of the main door should be grand i.e. bigger than other doors in your house as the entrance is also considered as a doorway to victory which brings success, good health, and good luck. Always make sure the entrance door is well lit with bright lights as bright lights generate positive energy; also beautify your door with decorative nameplates as it signifies richness. Avoid coloring the entrance door with black paint as black color attracts negative energy instead use bright color paints on the entrance door as it will attract positive energy; also avoid hanging any antiques or animal faces on the entrance door as antiques or animal faces draw dullness and bad luck. Vastu Shastra for Living Room The living room is very much like a book cover which narrates the story of your house; it is also a center point where most family and social gathering takes place. Hence always make the living room look more spacious by keeping it clutter-free. As per Vastu living room should face north, north-east, east, or northwest. Living rooms are mostly well-furnished with sofas, chairs, dining table electronics like TV, music system, etc. As per Vastu Shastra, heavy furniture should be placed in southwest or west whereas electronic appliances should be placed in the south-east section of the living room. The living room is considered as the face of your home, therefore, it is important to decorate it with great intensity, make sure all the corners of your living room are well lit as corners act as a strong source of energy. Apply the mix of vibrant and earthy colors in the living room to create a balanced environment in the room. As per Vastu Shastra mirror in the living room should be placed in the north direction. Embellish living room with a grand crystal chandelier as it generates radiance of abundance by drawing positive energy. Vastu Shastra for kitchen They say, “Way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’. The kitchen has a significant influence on our health and relationships as it harbors a major energy resource of life food! Hence your kitchen should always radiate positivity through its decor. As per Vastu Shastra Tips to absorb good vibes windows in the kitchen should face towards north, north-east, or east direction, also the appropriate placement of kitchen appliances is very important for good health and prosperity. Apply vibrant colors to radiate more positivity in the kitchen environment. A kitchen is a place that consists of all the ‘Panchbhootas’- earth, fire, water, air, and spirit. As per Vastu Shastra Tips ‘Agni’ is the major source of energy in the kitchen and ‘Agni’ prevails in the south-east direction of any house; hence kitchen should be located in the southeast direction of the house. If the kitchen is located in the north, north-east, or south-west direction it can hurt relationships and can lead to a strong difference of opinion amongst family members. As per Vastu Shastra Tips facing east while cooking will allow positive energy to pass onto your food which in turn will reflect in your health, happiness, and peacefulness. As per Vastu Shastra, it is highly recommended that all the cooking appliances like gas cylinders, gas stoves, electric heaters, toasters, oven, microwave, etc. should be placed in the south-east zone of the kitchen. Two major elements of the kitchen are water and fire hence it’s very important to create the right balance between the two to bring peace and richness in health and wealth. As per Vastu Shastra never place sink or washbasin parallel or adjacent to cooking appliances like gas, microwave, etc. because fire and water differ in characteristics. Water will defuse the progressive energy generated by fire which can lead to negativity in behavior and will disrupt harmony between family members and couples. All the water-centric bodies like washing machines, water pipes, washbasins, or kitchen sinks should always be placed in the north or northeast direction of your kitchen. The kitchen acts as a major energy source for any house as it harbors raw as well as cooked food. Therefore food grains and refrigerators should always be placed in the south-west direction to bring more affluence and good fortune in your life.

Learning more about vastu shastra.

I want to learn more about Vastu Shastra. I want to be an expert at it. Currently I know zero about it. But I can read and learn about it. It's fascinating to say the least.

I'm not denying that religious violence happens. I'm saying that you can't blame the general public for something that interest groups do. Those who wish to spread violence are extremists and these exist on both sides. Even in Bangladesh Hindus are dying every day. Like i said the problem is extremism. There are peaceful Muslims, right? Then there are peaceful Hindus as well. And If political parties stoke hatred then those political parties are a problem. Btw do you ever ask why political parties are taking advantage of religious sentiments for vote? The answer is simple. There is hate. And there is fear. Both are strong emotions. If these emotions didn't exist, then how will someone take advantage of it? I wouldn't say the entire public is hateful because that's a broad generalization. I would say that certain groups are hateful. That is a certain number of people are hateful. This is same as Trump trying to appeal to racists. Can you say that the whole of America is racist? Nope. But there will always be racists. You can't get rid of them completely because biased people always exist.. That's what I meant by interest groups. There will always be biased people with extremist sentiment. The problem can only be resolved by a collective rise in social consciousness where everyone is at stage Green and everyone gives up their bias collectively. That will take a long time. Till then as long as you have stage Blue and stage Red extremist elements then expect communal differences and riots.

Media is always supporting the current ruling party because they want to play it safe. Media will support Congress or BJP depending on whatever suits its agenda. I accept that BJP is very nationalistic. But you have to see where this is coming from. Years of being ruled by Congress has frustrated people economically. It's easy to use Hindu-Muslim context to create fear in the minds of the people. When riots happen obviously there will be biased reporting, you can't expect clarity from the media My final point is this. Don't blame Muslims or Hindus for riots. Riots happen because some groups of people get angry against other groups. Both groups are generally equally responsible for it. Government has nothing to do with riots except a biased coverage. Don't blame riots on the government. Also BJP is very biased. But the same can be said of Congress. In India you can't expect an unbiased political party because there are different interest groups seeking their own interest. You can expect that in another 200 years when all groups are united. This is a problem with human nature. When you have different religions or faiths, you have to realize that tensions would occur. The same thing happens among different racial groups. This can only be solved by a mutual contract between groups of people to not invade each other the way countries maintain their boundaries. To be honest, there is no real resolution to this kind of a mess other than getting rid of extremists from each groups. Because it's extremists who cause violence. I don't see religion as a problem. I see extremism as a problem.

@itachi uchiha Even Hindus get killed in India by Muslims Riots happen because of attacks on both sides.. This video talks about violence against Hindus in West Bengal by Muslim communities in that area. They are protesting against the Government for only caring about Muslim violence but not talking about Hindu facing violence. This is almost never talked in the media. So you think that these people are protesting for nothing?? This is not a 20 year old video. This Video is 4 years ago.

Muslims also attack Hindus. My mom was attacked by a Muslim. Should I go the media and talk about it? The point is you are showing a one sided picture of the situation. Hindus are generally tolerant people unless constantly provoked. Look how many Hindus died in Godhra riots. Do some research before you speak. Hindus pilgrims were first attacked in Godhra. This instigated Hindus to fight with Muslims. They burned an entire train carrying Hindu pilgrims. Muslim violence against Hindus is also equally intense. Many terrorist attacks have taken place in my country by Muslim terrorist groups. So what about that? Why is security beefed up during Hindu festivals if Muslims don't attack? This is the reality of Godhra which the Media will not show. I was just a kid when Godhra happened but I have done my research. You're trying to portray these riots as a one sided situation.

Hindus are also hurt. But the media doesn't show it.

I'm not interested in arguing any further with you. I'm only telling you that it's not okay to create a wrong image about another religious community that you aren't a part of. This is like if I made a thread saying all Christians are killing Jews when that's not the truth. You see how your portrayal of the situation is making Hindus look bad. Now you are backpedaling because I called you out on your propaganda against Hindu community. You can't make Generalizations about an entire nation. You're portraying Hindus in bad light. Stage Blue and stage Red people exist in almost every country. That does not mean that those people are bad or out to hurt others.

You're already doing it by portraying Hindus as bad people. Because of you another user got the idea that Hindus are violent people when that's not the case. Plus you even said that the average Indian is retarded. Enough of your provocation Now you will play victim. Good luck I'm out of this super awful and biased thread. Good luck with your propaganda against Hindus I'm out. (was stating the truth)
