Economic implications of a spiritual life

The Russia Ukraine war is raging from 210 days today with no end of it in sight. The greatest war in India, the Mahabharata, it is said that lasted for 18 days. It is said that Mahabharata war left such a deep impact in the Indian mind that after 2 and a half thousand after Mahabharata, when Mahavira and Buddha appeared on the Indian scene, the entire Indian subcontinent suerged itself in the teachings of Meditation and non violence. 
We learned our lessons. And we don't forget it. The epic book Mahabharata still works as an inspiration for thinkers and scholars of every generation where they reinterpret Mahabharata events to get a deeper understanding of the events happening in the present generation. 

It is said that there is nothing in the world that Mahabharata does not have an answer for.

Let us see. What would be the resolution for the Russia Ukraine war in Mahabharata. Lack of enlightened mediators like Krishna. 
When you have a group of people in your society who are deeply spiritual, they act as a buffer between two warring groups. As enlightened people tend to remain equidistant from both the groups, all people in a conflict tend to accept their mediation. 
Even after the Mahabharata war, Indian kings took extreme precaution to avoid armed conflicts among themselves. 
India has successfully managed to retain its relative calm and peace thus allowing a protective social structure to live in peace and harmony despite being ruled by outside civilizations.
This constant stream of Rishis, sadhus, munis and yogis that were on a spiritual journey in every generation in India have acted like a buffer in the warring groups, as a gel in diverse groups, have provided with mental and spiritual solace in the times of despair. So this group of religious seekers have been the unifying factor of the civilization for millennia 
Russia and Ukraine need to invite Indian spiritual teachers in their countries to learn spiritual practices so that they can create a climate of peace and tranquility, once the war is over. 
To prevent economic losses that take place from the war, you need to have a stable and enlightened society.

How to find if your phone has any virus that affects your computer.

The simple answer to this question is to have an antivirus software or internet security software suite installed both on your computer as well as on your smartphone. There are some antivirus programs that let you scan your smartphone from your computer. If you have installed antivirus program on your smartphone, that should ensure that there are no virus files on your smartphone. The question of infecting your computer arises when you want to transfer files from your smartphone to your computer, so at that time, the antivirus program on your computer should be auto-scanning those files to check for viruses. If you want to be doubly sure of that, you can run a manual scan on those files, that should keep your mind at ease.

Nick Clegg from the company Meta was discussing about his company's vision of the Metaverse in the global technology conference arranged by Carnegie India in New Delhi today.  After listening to his pitch for promotion of Metaverse, he was seen advocating for governments to come up with rules and regulations for the citizen of Metaverse.  Consider this. If you are playing a three dimensional role playing multiplayer game. The game is real for you as long as you play it. It ceases to exist for you as soon as you log off the game. If you want to do real life transactions like buying or ordering an item online while you are in your online Avatar, you would receive that item delivered to your place as you would get it on Amazon or Flipkart  The problem with Metaverse, the way it is being promoted seems as if it has a life of its own. It assumes that real life is separate from the activities you perform on internet posing as your 3D Avatar. Mark Zuckerberg is promoting this

Etymology of word bull

The origin of the bulla seal is a matter of some debate, but it is generally thought to have originated in the ancient Near East. The earliest known bullae date from the 8th millennium BC, and they were made of clay. These early bullae were used to seal documents and containers, and they often bore the impression of a seal ring. In the 4th millennium BC, bullae began to be made of lead. This was because lead was more durable than clay, and it could be easily melted and reused. Lead bullae were often used by the royal courts of the ancient Near East, and they were used to seal official documents. The use of bullae spread to the Mediterranean world in the 1st millennium BC. In the Roman Empire, bullae were used by both the government and private individuals. They were used to seal documents, contracts, and letters. Bullae were also used to decorate clothing and jewelry. The use of bullae declined in the Middle Ages, but they continued to be used by the Catholic Church. The Pope used a bu
