The #Six #Enemies of The #Mind ( #Arishadvarga / #Shadripu)
These are the fundamental tenets of #Kali-yuga ( The #Dark-Age)

#kama — lust, craze, desire
#krodha — anger, hatred
#lobha — greed, miserliness, narrow minded
#moha — delusory emotional attachment
#mada — pride, stubborn mindedness
#matsarya — envy, jealousy, show or vanity, and pride
According to #Hindu #scriptures, these #bind the #soul to the #cycle of #birth and #death and keep it confined in this material world (confines of #Maya or relative existence). Especially the first three are said to pave the way towards #hell. The first two bring about difficult experiences we face in our lives.

No matter how powerful, rich, successful or outwardly happy we are, we cannot be considered mature if we have not conquered these six #internal #enemies.

In fact, #SanātanaDharma says that we will never be truly #happy and #peaceful #within our #hearts unless we defeat these six enemies — the ‘ #Shadripus.’

Religious Belief Systems by Continent Region, 2023.

Due to there being no data for just over 900 million people, each figure given for each belief system should be considered as being around 89% accurate. This could, for example, swap the most prevalent religion position between Christianity & Islam, or could further extend Christianity's lead.

#Animal sacrifice is older than #history. #Human #beings have #slaughtered #birds and #livestock throughout the ages in attempt to propitiate the #gods—to alter fate, to enhance fortune, to pay for sins.

One of the great hymns of the #Rigveda is that of the #Horse #Sacrifice, which only a king can perform. The rituals continue to this day, as the photographs in this collection show: in the #Muslim and #Hindu worlds, as well as in #Judaism.

The #first #murder related in the #bible stems from jealousy over sacrifice. #Cain’s sacrifice of vegetables did not please God as much as his brother’s sacrifice of animals—and so Cain slew #Abel.

Of the #world’s great #faiths, #only #Buddhism and #Daoism #eschew #rituals of animal sacrifice, indeed, the taking of any life. Indeed, according to legend, one of the #Buddha’s previous #incarnations gave up his #life to #feed a #hungry #tiger.

The various #Christian #sects and denominations very #rarely #perform animal #sacrifices.

But the very Catholic societies of #Spain and #Latin-America still hold #bullfights, which are descended from pagan animal sacrifices. And, of course, at the heart of #Christianity is a #sacrament that is essentially a human sacrifice.
