Eunuchs - A societal outcast or an acceptable human?

Hey Everyone! I'm back with my next article. I've lately been watching a lot of videos and seeing a lot of things on Eunuchs. That made me feel very different towards looking at them. I would like to share my views on that. Just as usual, all of this is my opinion. Readers are free to critisize and comment as they wish. Happy Reading :) Soups Eunuch. In India, that's one word many loathe and sometimes even fear. The only opinion people seem to see and hold is that "Eunuchs are neither man nor woman. They're not complete. Why do they have to stay in the society?". What people don't see is what Eunuchs or Transgenders (as they are known commonly now) go through. They are as much humans as any other normal person. They just feel different. And it's not wrong to feel different about things. Just because they have a different way of approaching life, feeling it differently, they can't be outcasted from the society. They are so badly treated in I...

Numbers and Hinduism

NUMBERS AND HINDUISM Hey Guys! I'm back with another article, on a subject that I'm studying at present, Mathematics. Hope it makes sense. And let us learn more about what we have had in Mathematics since the time of creation of this world. I might be including instances of Mathematical contributions by Indians, and their respective counterparts from other Philosophies of the world. Cheerio, Soups 😊 PS - For those who are not very fond of Math, I must say you're missing out on something great. (Not that you need to love Math with all your heart, but you can at least see some wonderful stuff that's out there, governing our history and mythology!)  Indians have contributed a lot to the field of Mathematics in general. Invention of the Number "ZERO" or "SHUNYA” by the Scholar Pingala as it is called in Sanskrit is an important contribution to the number system. There is a text by name Brahmasphuta Siddhanta which talks entirely of special...

DASHA MAHAVIDYAHA Hello Everyone! Soups here, back with a new article. This time I thought it’s been just a few days after Mother’s Day, so why not write on the Mothers of the World for a while 😉 . Not all mothers. One mother in specific and of her many forms, just 10 of them, as usual totally in brief (Mostly, in the form of quick facts so that it doesn’t bore you 😃 ). This article too, mind you will be just too long. And I apologise in advance for the pictures. The few ones are the best. The others are not as impactful. Happy Reading! 😊 Soups This is probably an introduction to me as well, to ideas of Tantra, that is a part of Hindu worship. This article will be on the 10 Mahavidyas, forms of Devi Parvati, one of the 3 main mothers of the World. In the Tantric Belief system or Tantra, otherwise known as Exorcism of Hinduism, the fiercest forms of Devi worship occur, that also includes the enhancement and control of the Kundalini energy, through various processes. The...
