It's important to really dig into terms to understand the thinking behind them.

A famous speech of Cicero is a plea to deconsecrate the place so he could have his home back. A temple only ceased to be so when the pontiffs signed off and the rituals were done.

The temple wasn't strictly the building but the space it occupied. Like a Greek temenos. Even if no building were there it would be a temple. In a sacrilegious abuse, Clodius had Cicero's home and property designated as a temple so he could never live there again.

Templum means a marked out space. It's a term in augury too, as the spaces in the sky they were watching(for birds) were called temples. This was marked out visually with the augur staff. Each would have a meaning, applying this got you your answers.

Latin word for a shrine or altar is aede, which derives from an old word for fire. Also used of homes, because the center of the home is the hearth fire. Worship is where fire is kept.

US F-22 fighter jet loses its stealth capability as a new detection method engineered by Chinese scientists increases the jet's radar signature by 60,000 times, rendering it easily visible and vulnerable to being targeted by ground-base hypersonic missiles. Another game changer.

Poor Indians, starving cows, garish temples!

Not surprised that New York Times Opinion publishes peak orientalist hate, just that editors allows so much sneering contempt to be stuffed into one paragraph!

अपना धर्म आचरण छोड़ने वाले, निर्दयी, दूसरों को पीड़ा देने वाले, क्रोधी, हिंसक, विवेकहीन लोगों को म्लेच्छ कहते हैं।

People who do not practice their own dharma, are cruel, troublesome for others, wrathful, violent & void of conscience are called Mleccha.

Btw, this is Dubai in less than 24 hours !! 🇦🇪

(Few areas still have water, but this is the current situation)

Stop blaming Hindus. Amplifying ‘There is no God but Allah’ through the loudspeaker five times a day whole year round near a temple is not provocative, but celebrating Ram Navami and singing ‘Bhajaman Ram charan Sukhdai’ one day in a year near a mosque is?

My views:

Iran Ambassador Iraj Elahi Iran in India on MSC Aries:
-One Indian woman has reached India
-Indian crew are not detained, they all are free
-The Indian crew has got consular access

When an India abusing, Pakistani ‘filmmaker’ comes up with a ‘documentary’ on #disinfo in India - which is legitimized and hyped by Pakistan Jamaat’s newfound lover Mohammed Zubair

Cool. So this week the Senate is voting to let the NSA take over the internet and authorize warrantless surveillance of Americans, and the House is voting to take another hundred billion dollars from you (a tenth of a trillion!) to squander on fruitless foreign wars. Very cool.

This most disturbing photo is of May 1992, when Director of All India Radio, M.L. Manchanda, was abducted and subjected to toπture for several days by Khlistani extπemists. 

Eventually, after a few days, he was bπutally beh3aded by the Khlistanis. 
According to his postmortem…

🤦‍♂️ Who will tell her that Adani is not a Hindu. He is a Jain! And Jain is a minority religion - not a caste!

Purpose of these staged gestures is insidious. Punjab to Punjab. Undermine GoI’s policy towards Pak. Boost sentiment on our side to start dialogue without linking it to terrorism. Also, boost separatist elements in Punjab & Khalistani coop abroad with ISI.

THIS IS BIG! India tests Nirbhay cruise missile — for the first time with an Indian propulsion system, the Manik turbofan engine, replacing the earlier Russian engine. Hard to overstate what a milestone this is for India’s missile program. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
