>a Sanskrit minor poem (Khandkavya) of the Suprabhātakāvya (dawn-poem) genre composed by Jagadguru Rambhadracharya in the year 2008. The poem consists of 40 verses in Śārdūlavikrīḍita, Vasantatilakā, Sragdharā and Mālinī metres. The Phalaśruti at the end is in the Vasantatilakā metre.

I tried using Windscribe with USA, Luxembourg and UK, but the price didn't change, even when I changed the actual currency. How come?

1 Enoch 48:1-10

>2 And in that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and his name, before the Head of Days.

>3 Even before the sun and the constellations were created, before the stars of heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

>4 He will be a staff for the righteous, that they may lean on him and not fall; he will be the light of the nations, and he will be a hope for those who grieve in their hearts

>5 All who dwell on the earth will fall down and worship before him, and they will glorify and bless and sing hymns to the name of the Lord of Spirits

>6 For this reason he was chosen and hidden in His presence, before the world was created and forever.

A non-inspired text talking about a divine Son of Man who existed since creation? Written over 100 years before Jesus? Could this have possibly had any impact on the early followers of Jesus? Unlike what I've been told again and again that Jesus' followers couldn't have been influenced by other sources in their views of divinity and divine figures other than the Father? Is such a thing possible?

Interesting.

I wish to practice my writing skills.
Do I just get up in the morning and write whatever that comes to my mind?

Word! I started pretty easy with Meditations a few years ago, then tried Nietzche right after but couldn't do it so I put him back on my shelf. I'm reading this Emerson anthology right now and I can understand it pretty clearly, so here's hoping Nietzche won't sound so convoluted this time around

It's not a bad idea. I don't quite get the whole "where do I start?" thing that /lit/ is obsessed with.

- One might guess that I do not want to take my leave ungratefully from
that time of severe illness whose profits I have not yet exhausted even
today: I am well aware of the advantages that my erratic health gives me
over all burly minds. A philosopher who has passed through many kinds
of health, and keeps passing through them again and again, has passed
through an equal number of philosophies; he simply cannot but translate
his state every time into the most spiritual form and distance - this art
of transfiguration j ust is philosophy. We philosophers are not free to
separate soul from body as the common people do; we are even less free
to separate soul from spirit. We are no thinking frogs, no objectifying
and registering devices with frozen innards - we must constantly give
birth to our thoughts out of our pain and maternally endow them with
all that we have of blood, heart, fire, pleasure, passion, agony, conscience,
fate, and disaster. Life - to us, that means constantly transforming
all that we are into light and flame, and also all that wounds us;
we simply can do no other. And as for illness: are we not almost tempted
to ask whether we can do without it at all? Only great pain is the
liberator of the spirit...
