Hi all, I've just setup my own #Akkoma instance, so it's time for an updated #introduction
I promise I won't move accounts again and I'll keep @kedara as a backup.
I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras which greatly inspire me.
I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of #AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a work account (and any opinions are my own).
I love #photography , mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds #trees
I try to make a trip to the #forest at least every weekend, I'm lucky to live at the edge of the #Veluwe nature area.
I love growing food in my #garden using #organic #permaculture and #RegenerativeAgriculture inspired methods, I'm dreaming of tending my own #FoodForest some day.
Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22.
I'll mainly post in English with some posts in Dutch as well. Unpinned toots will be deleted after 3 months, I only boost photos with alt text (feel free to let me know if I've forgotten to add it!).
Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!

In #Sanskrit, the concept of #heresy is expressed through terms such as पाषण्ड (pāṣaṇḍa), often used in a pejorative sense for those deviating from orthodox beliefs.
Other terms include उद्धर्म (uddharma) and उपधर्म (upadharma), denoting deviations from proper religious conduct.
Also, देवनिन्दा (devanindā) and वेदनिन्दा (vedanindā) signify blasphemy or criticism of the divine or Vedic teachings.
In Buddhist contexts, तीर्थिक (tīrthika) is used to describe adherents of non-Buddhist paths.
- a new book arrived after several weeks of waiting! I'm going to train my patience some more, because I first would like to finish my current book.
- I had some time to study #sanskrit again, almost made it past the sandhi chapter.
- my morning #meditation felt effortless again for the first time in a couple of weeks. And as I opened my eyes, the sun was there for the first time in days as well (bye bye never ending fog)!
Have a nice evening everyone.

When you let your mind follow the call of the senses, they carry away your better judgement like storms drive a boat off its chartered course on the sea.

Just as a tortoise in danger [instinctively] draws in its limbs, the wise too can draw in their senses at will.

You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of the work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.

Just as a reservoir is of little use when the whole countryside is flooded, scriptures are of little use to the learned.

Hachyderm.ioSean Murthy (@smurthys@hachyderm.io)Niche among #niche: Came across this long #Sanskrit word in the #Bhagavadgeetha (1-26). Like German, this word combines many words, but unlike German, we can correctly pronounce it without knowing the constituent words, if we can work the tongue and hold our breath long enough. 😆
