The AVŚ 11.8.33 offers a great example of triad specification that when first dying, the human body divides threefold in yonders. The TS 3.4.3.8 specifies three types of sacrificers, KB 28.5 specifies three types of Agni, & AiB 3.7.1 with three grades of Vaṣaṭ calls by a Hotṛ

Loved reading about shunashepa. Such a beautiful explanation compared to what is quoted in the book. Without SA's keys the vedas r lost in scholarly ramblings

A typical instance of a triad is that of Śunaḥśepa in ṚV 1.24.13 in which his foot-irons are fastened to 3 different places of a sacrificial post & in ṚV 9.73.8 where the clarification of the divine draught is compared to 3 internal sieves responsible for poetical inspiration.

 what is the key behind literal translation of Shunashepa as ray of delight. Isn't ordinary translation dog's tail?

Go stands for light and cow in the Vedic taxonomy, according to Sri Aurobindo in his Secret of the Veda. Vinda is fosterer, protector etc like Pala in Gopala...so essentially means Fosterer of Light, the spiritual light of Agni in human hearts, the fire of aspirationFolded hands

The enemies' weakening might save Dharma, but not Dharma's own strength. The good work of Infinity, Indica, Upword, Atharva etc. shows Dharma is more alive than 20 years ago. The problem is that they have a limited reach, & the Gvt is not intervening to remove those hurdles.

Dharma is a self-existent Force of the Supreme, if you please. It doesn't require goverments or individuals for its workings. You speak as if Dharma were dependent on human help and participation! It doesn't.

Is nuance banned around here? He basically said, Dharma exists in its own sphere...hence it is Sanatana, it is Rta of the SatyamRtamBrhad. Humans aspire to manifest Dharma, conduct themselves by it. Presumptuous to assume every biped conducting himself by mental notions of.. 1/n

It is definitely not the mental notions at all, Sri Krishna makes that clear. Establish yourself in Yoga with me He says and then obey My command. Simple as that. Of course one is free to do what one can in the limited light of their mental knowledge.. 4/n

To serve some miniscule fragment of His Dharma we toil for many ages to earn the privilege for. Hence the Dharma is eternal, it is our Sanatana Dharma. It does not need us, we aspire for it and desire it and serve it with our lives. n/n Folded hands
