However, anyone who is not "Hindu-born" is untouchable, correct? Therefore, they will be most unlikely to attain Moksha in this lifetime.

Also, doesn't anyone who leaves India become untouchable (lose their Varna/caste)?

exactly!
duh, is it that tough to "get it?"
or would most people just rather argue personal semantics and their theology?
is THIS what happens to threads began here?
if so, how sad!
the heading reads part of the solution; or part of the problem?
are we really all that different?
or am i naive to believe/hope we are more alike than dissimiliar?

Nostrodamus had predicted by 2012 we would be knee deep in war in the middle east
and some kinda nuke would go off.

sound like today almost.

the manthras of the slokas are beeja or seed manthras which can and which do awaken and stimulate the energies within the body, as well as the energies in the environment. The chanting of each verse is chorused by a combination of three beeja manthras: aim, hreem, kleem. Aim is the beeja manthra of Saraswati, hreem is the beeja manthra of Lakshmi and kleem is the beeja manthra of Durga or Kali. Each verse is chanted in combination with the beeja manthras. Durgasaptashati is a very important book of the Tantras. Every year, twice during the period of Navaratri, the nine days dedicated to the worship of the Cosmic Mother, people throughout India chant from that book.

SO, mine would be hreem, aim, kleem..
and centre chakra's,
and have a nine day orgasm. (i wish)

Tantric Manthra's r worth studying, makes me wanna move to India i sware

Thank you for policeing my posts but please dont charge me or give a ticket pof forum officer !

umm zero is siphor in arabic .. it was created by and arab who shortly thereafter created the decimal point system. Modern english numbers are the old arabic numbers while the current arabic number system is actually of indian origion.. dont get it twisted...

Arabic numerals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Jump to: navigation, search
Arabic numerals (also called Hindu numerals or Indian numerals ) are the most common set of symbols used to represent numbers. They are considered one of the most significant developments in mathematics.

History
The term "Arabic numerals" is actually a misnomer, since what are known in English as "Arabic numerals" were neither invented nor widely used by the Arabs. Instead, they were developed in India by the Hindus around 400 BC. However, because it was the Arabs who brought this system to the West after the Hindu numerical system found its way to Persia, the numeral system became known as "Arabic". Arabs themselves call the numerals they use "Indian numerals", ????? ?????, arqam hindiyyah).

Hindu numerals in the first century AD.

The first inscriptions using 0 in India have been traced to approximately AD 400. Aryabhata's numerical code also represents a full knowledge of the zero symbol. By the time of Bhaskara I (i.e., the 7th century) a base 10 numeral system with nine symbols was widely used in India, and the concept of zero (represented by a dot) was known (see the Vasavadatta of Subandhu, or the definition by Brahmagupta). However, it is possible that the invention of the zero sign took place some time in the 1st century when the Buddhist philosophy of shunyata (zero-ness) gained ascendancy.

How the numbers came to the Arabs can be read in the work of al-Qifti's "Chronology of the scholars", which was written around the end the 12th century but quoted earlier sources (see [1]):

... a person from India presented himself before the Caliph al-Mansur in the year 776 who was well versed in the siddhanta method of calculation related to the movement of the heavenly bodies, and having ways of calculating equations based on the half-chord [essentially the sine] calculated in half-degrees ... Al-Mansur ordered this book to be translated into Arabic, and a work to be written, based on the translation, to give the Arabs a solid base for calculating the movements of the planets ...
This book, which the Indian scholar presented from, was probably Brahmasphutasiddhanta (The Opening of the Universe) which was written in 628 by the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta and had used the Hindu Numerals with the zero sign.

The numeral system came to be known to both the Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi, whose book On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals written about 825, and the Arab mathematician Al-Kindi, who wrote four volumes (see [2]) "On the Use of the Indian Numerals" (Ketab fi Isti'mal al-'Adad al-Hindi) about 830, are principally responsible for the diffusion of the Indian system of numeration in the Middle-East and the West . In the 10th century, Middle-Eastern mathematicians extended the decimal numeral system to include fractions, as recorded in a treatise by Syrian mathematician Abu'l-Hasan al-Uqlidisi in 952-953.

Fibonacci, an Italian mathematician who had studied in Bejaia (Bougie), Algeria, promoted the Arabic numeral system in Europe with his book Liber Abaci, which was published in 1202. The system did not come into wide use in Europe, however, until the invention of printing (See, for example, the 1482 Ptolemaeus map of the world printed by Lienhart Holle in Ulm, and other examples in the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany.)

In the Arab World—until modern times—the Arabic numeral system was used only by mathematicians. Muslim scientists used the Babylonian numeral system, and merchants used a numeral system similar to the Greek numeral system and the Hebrew numeral system. Therefore, it was not until Fibonacci that the Arabic numeral system was used by a large population.
