The central elements of Buddhist iconography: the tree, the wheel and the lotus are shared with Hinduism. Please refer to the book by Ananda Coomaraswamy.

Hinduism, Buddhism & other Dharmic systems should all be considered as variations of one tradition.

@talekaayi @hamsanandi @karatalaamalaka @longhandnotes There are things like that help with, they need to be supported. But the issue in the last decade or so has been around putting stuff behind walled gardens - facebook, dropbox, google drive etc.,

RT @carlmalamud: Chandamama Magazine! ht @omshivaprakash From 1947 to 2012, in 9 languages.

Unpopular opinion:

Aurobindo wasted away his life in Pondicherry! His non-spiritual writings are much better and shows amazing clarity. Currently reading 'India's Rebirth' which is a collection of his notes, letters, speeches, etc!

@btbytes Looks like a competitor to Panini in brevity :) Full book here:

This book mentioned an interesting aspect of historical Kannada literature: quite a bit of Kan lit. was produced by Jain authors (which on reflections feels right)
I chanced on this book on "business mathematics" by Jain author Rajaditya ~1190AD #patterns

@hamsanandi @NMRatnam @vikramhegde While modern readings make this vacana a subaltern cry against Brahminical construct(ion)s, Śatāvadhānī Dr R Ganesh sees the same "architectural reconceptualizing" and sacralizing of the human person in other "orthodox" traditions too.

@hamsanandi @singhsahana I saw recently another related book written by well known historian Jyotsna Kamat .

It is written by Sri Mathuranatha Shastri

@longhandnotes Brajendra Nath Seal's "The Positive Sciences Of The Ancient Hindus"

Found it - along with the image. Thie 0 in the number 701 - from #Rashtrakuta #KarkaRaja's #Dhulia plates - Possibly the earliest recorded zero in an inscription.

I have marked it with a red enclosure.

Epigraphia Indica Volume 8 (page 244 in the PDF)

I learnt recently that the below verse has the distinction of appearing both in the Rāmāyaṇa (spoken by Mārīca and Vibhīṣaṇa) and the Mahābhārata (spoken by Vidura and Vyāsa).

What are some other verses sharing this distinction?
