Nice! The Indic civilization explained this thousands of years ago. Here's a nice video that will explain this concept as understood by us. It also takes it a step further, helping us understand how many such aeons will manifest. youtube.com/watch?v=gG8tup… Watch from 2:20
There's a form of architecture so difficult that no country has seriously attempted it...
...Except Ancient India!
Let me tell you about "Rock-cut architecture," the difficulties involved, and how India did the impossible...over and over again.
Thread:
At least all those with roots and interest in India should know this.
If information like this interests you, do read @MeruPrastara Bhaskar Kamble's book The Imperishable Seed, which was part of Tejas '24 Indic Book Competition.

In the 7th century, negative numbers were used in calculations in India which was innovative because Europeans dismissed these numbers as absurd until the 17th century, when they gained widespread acceptance due to their practical use in accounting and bookkeeping.
Srinivasa Ramanujan was an observant Hindu, adept at dream interpretation and astrology. Growing up, he learned to worship Namagiri, the Hindu goddess of creativity, who is also known as Namagiri Thayar or Namakkal. She is the consort of Narasimha, an avatar of Vishnu, who is depicted as a lion-headed man. Namagiri is said to bestow wisdom, knowledge, and artistic skills to her devotees.
He often understood mathematics and spirituality as one. He believed that an equation had no meaning unless it revealed the mind of God. He also said that Namagiri would appear in his dreams and place equations on his tongue, which he would later write down when he woke up. Some of these equations were so novel and complex that they baffled his contemporaries and mentors, such as G. H. Hardy. Even today, some of Ramanujan’s discoveries are still being explored and proved by mathematicians and physicists
Ramanujan’s belief in the Hindu goddess was not a mere superstition or a psychological crutch. It was a source of inspiration and intuition that guided him to explore the hidden patterns and symmetries of the mathematical universe. He saw the divine feminine as the mind beyond the mind, the awakening that happens when awareness is raised to the highest possible state. He also followed the Visishtadvaita philosophy of Sri Ramanuja, which asserts that the individual soul is not separate from the supreme soul, but rather a part of it. Ramanujan’s faith in Namagiri was a manifestation of his non-dualistic worldview, where mathematics and mysticism were intertwined.
We so often lose the forest for the trees. In all the micro conversations about India, let's never lose this broad perspective, succinctly articulated by @authoramish
We’ve love @6amiji’s books on the original epics—Valmiki ji’s Ramayana and Vyas ji’s Mahabharat—featured in the Tejas Indic Book Competitions 2024 & 2025. Delighted that @6amiji is helping us introduce our kids to timeless characters and stories through her childrens books.

With the grace of the Devi & a heart full of gratitude, this Navratri I present to you my new illustrated book for children - My Sister Devi. This time Kanha brings to us the stories of the swag of his sister Devi - the Shakti herself. Details & preorder link below.
Jai Ma 😊🙇🏽♀️
Annual reminder: Ravan was adharmi, extremely lustful, ahamkari, wicked. He had no love lost for his sister. The soneri Lanka was established by Kuber, not him. Ram came to make the world mukta of Ravan's adharma. May we all learn Valmiki Ramayan & develop mental & moral clarity

The Kailash Temple isn’t just a monument.
It’s a question mark etched in basalt.
It defies timelines. Tools. Techniques.
And yet, it’s missing from textbooks.
From mainstream documentaries. From global consciousness.
🧵1/
We still don’t know how the Kailash Temple at Ellora was built.
A 100+ ft tall marvel, carved—not built—out of a single rock. From top to bottom. No stone added. Only removed.
Let that sink in.
Dear Tejas participants - Where do we even begin our journey to our roots? So much to unlearn, learn and unpack. Here is just one post to deeply ponder.
THE MONK WHO HACKED REALITY
At 32, most people are settling into a job. Maybe they've made it to Vice President. Maybe they've started a company. Made a few crores if they're lucky. Got married, bought a flat, working on those EMIs.
And then there was this guy from Kerala.

@dharmadispatch Thank you! This is such a timely contribution. Would love to see a young adult adaptation too—our youth deserve to discover this legacy in an engaging way!
I've been asked many qs abt Palace of Illusions & claims made in it abt Draupadi-Karna love. Do note
-Palace of illusion is a work of fiction, nothing to do with real MBH
-No Draupadi-Karna love angle in MBH. None insulted Draupadi like Karna. Draupadi has no Stockholm syndrome
@6amiji Thank you, Ami ji! Your book Ramayana Unravelled has truly brought the epic to life, making it deeply relevant in today’s context. The lessons it offers will stay with our participants forever. Meeting you in person at the Tejas Finale was a cherished highlight for many!
