I plan to pursue a bachelor's of planning from SPA Delhi, and I've been trying to other people currently at or planning to join the college 🙃 without any success. Is it worth it to pursue a bachelor's from there 👀 . I have heard some bad things about the college, so if you are a student, or know anything about the institute plz drop a comment or a dm.
(disclaimer: I don't mean to disrespect anyone or anyone's belief I only want to talk from an objective truth point of view, we should try to find the truth, rather than just keep on believing what we do)
Radha
I cannot pretend to believe that she is a goddess, who some people say is greater even to Bhagwan Krishna, when there's no proof that she even existed.
Radha is not a historical person, this is the truth and people's emotional breakdowns and refusal over accepting this is absurd. Worshipping a deity that didn't even exist while ignoring and straight up disrespecting the actual forms of God, as mentioned in scriptures baffles me. Now don't come to me claiming that she is mentioned, she's not, in most places she has been inserted later on, as interpolations. If you keep interpolating and having something that isn't true in a text after a while people will think that's the truth, but it's not. Radha is a character that was created during the Bhakti era, by Gaudiya vaishnav saints primarily, and it spread throughout North India, but couldn't even reach south.
Now, what's the problem with her? Fine she was created, but she was created to symbolise love and devotion right?
Well, there wouldn't be a problem if that was the case, but it isn't. Hindus keep finding new gods to worship, idk why we're obsessed with everything and everyone even mildly good, there are temples even dedicated to movie stars, and cricketers in modern India you won't say the same thing about that, Radha is kind of a similar case, except it happened a few hundred years ago, and really picked up.
The primary issue I have with it is people sideline and disrespect actual Pramanik forms of God, over their imagination and even claim her to be superior to others?? Like excuse me??? People keep obsessing over Radha Krishna and portray his actual wives as straight up villains. Tv shows try to sell that exact thing, and create fake narratives to prove that Radha is somehow superior to everyone, pushing her in narratives that she wasn't even present even in the interpolated scriptures.
Modern day babas and "katchavachaks" especially in north India keep on running with these false narratives. This is extremely disrespectful and bothers me a lot.
