vakibs: We cannot say that current LLMs are pinnacles in this “NipuNatā” or “Vyutpatti”. In fact, they are very limited in examining the world (through all sensory modalities). A great poet like Kālidāsa will have an incisive poetic eye. But this feature is the easiest for AI to acquire.

theskindoctor13: Punjabi singer Shubh posted distorted map. J&K, NE removed. Haryana & HP included in Punjab (just like Khalistan map). He isn't alone. Many singers are like him. Music is powerful propaganda tool which Canada K extremists know and we underestimate. Hope agencies are monitoring.

AskAnshul: 1) Many Punjabi singers are posting this video on their Instagram story where this anchor is spreading fake news & calling Punjab as 'India occupied Punjab'. Who is behind this propaganda? Here is the thread:

vinnynagaraj: It’s obvious what this means: GPT-4 went to an Indian CBSE school. “Mama priya kavihi Kalidasa”

RolfHind: When I started learning Sanskrit, I was so excited to penetrate the mystical wonders of the Bhagavad Gita. Later I was surprised and awed by the extravagant beauty of Kalidasa (6th century CE) - little wonder Goethe compared him with Shakespeare!

SehamAngel11: "Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope." - Kālidāsa SEHAM ON TEENCLASH

SriramKvs: This as such is a beautiful prayer to the lord, however kATya vEma who wrote a commentary of this kAlidAsa's play opines that through this nAndee slOkam the poet is trying to indicate the nature of the principal character of the play, agnimithra, the king of vidisha... 5/n

SriramKvs: Kalidasa's Sanskrit play Malavikagnimitram starts with a beautiful nAndee slOkam which is a prayer to Lord Siva 2/n

svmke1: A son of my mother's pishi is an advocate/barrister. My (late) grandfather narrated her son's story. Quite strangely, son's story was like a Kalidasa! Unto 8th class, he was dumb as rock. From 8th, his mind turned 180 degree. He scored good marks & improved his study permanently.

huntersrolinson: We have long observed that Kali presents as an 'archetypal-apex' for these of the female Ganas of Rudra - Who, Themselves, also express the 'Matrika' clades of later scripture. Here's Griffith's translation of the Kumārasambhava of Kalidasa featuring Kali in amidst They -

POTUS: Women – working full-time, year-round – are paid 84 cents for every dollar paid to men. Those disparities are more pronounced for women of color and women with disabilities. On Equal Pay Day, we call attention to an injustice that undermines women’s economic security.

hamsanandi: Dhar, or Dhara Nagara was the capital of Bhoja. Unlike depicted in many movies and stories, this Bhoja of Dharanagara was not a contemporary of Kalidasa. However he was a scholar of the highest order. He had 84 birudas (titles) which were also supposed to be the names of books…

Kalidasa_STL: Venezuela is Maoist. Maoism never works, and there’s plenty of examples. I’m a titoist, and Titoism took Yugoslavia from some backwater country to the 4th most power in Europe that exported cars. (Cont.)

subhash_kak: Also the story of Raja Bhoja and Kalidasa is like a novelistic thing in a play (because they didn't belong to the same time) quite like A Connecticut Yankee in the Court of King Arthur.

Realist_Bharat: This empire belongs to Samrat Vikramaditya of Ujjain. He ruled over almost whole of Asia. Kalidasa in his book ‘Jyotirvidabharman’ gives details about Vikramaditya. Look at the left pic, Vikramaditya had 800 vassal kings which is simply enormous. Clearly proves the 1/2

realbbymula: I’m lit in real life bby not just on the net

tapeshyadav_usa: Happy Holi! Kalidasa (4th-century) mentions it in the passing. Harsha's Ratnavali (7th century) describes a spring festival of smearing colors, throwing water at each other! A nice Hindu tradition to reconnect, share a smile and some sweets and drinks after.

theashramCH: 3/n: at one point, Krittika was the first Nakshatra and the zodiac didn’t begin in Aries. Zodiac isn’t the same in every Yuga. Kalidasa’s Raghuvamsa is very clear that Rama is as Suryavanshi. That’s why we take it as Sun in Ashwini and Aries in OUR yuga.

LakotaMan1: Native boarding schools had their own cemeteries. They put beautiful little babies like this in the ground, threw dirt on them, and then just walked away. — My heart’s irrevocably broken. It will never be the same.

glennkirschner2: This DOJ pronouncement matters. DOJ said Capitol police officers & members of Congress CAN sue Donald Trump for launching his 1/6 attack on the US Capitol. Trump has NO immunity against the law suit. Also, this DOJ opinion helps clear a path for criminal indictments. Stay tuned…

SudsG5: It absolutely has to do with culture you twat! Look up pre Muslim invasion Indian literature. Be it Kalidasa or the Kama Sutra and the dark skin was the one that was considered the pinnacle of beauty.

Garuda7777777: "Bhinnaruchirhi loka:" Says Kalidasa. The people have different tastes. We should not wonder how people like certain persons and certain opinions.

Anuraag_Shukla: For the Gupta period, all the important works of Kalidasa have mentions of elaborated hairstyles. Similarly, the Vayu Purana, the Amarkosa, the Vishnu Dharmottara Purana, Varahamihir's Brhat Samita, and the Harshacharita give ample information in this regard.

Kalidasa_STL: The left needs to stop gaslighting when it comes to crime - especially in St. Louis.

adityavnayak: She is absolutely right 1. Shakespeare is the Kalidasa of England 2. Napolean is the Samudragupta of France. Let's get our narratives right.

Realist_Bharat: over whole Bharatvarsha. Many sources say that his rule also extended till China, Egypt and Middle East. Notice the SS, Kalidasa clearly said Vikramaditya had 800 vassals. If we link these two then it’s quite clear that Vikram had enormous empire, hence the claim that his rule

sydzwin: "Yesterday is but a dream. Tommorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope" - Kalidasa

ntikvrt: It is evident from the various cases of dhvani that Ānanda cites from the works of his predecessors such as Vālmīki and Kālidāsa. The idea of dhvani, though in a different sense, was first used by the grammarians. Ānandavardhana himself acknowledged this in his Dhvanyāloka.

KandonDortch: Gaslighting is not when someone doesn't agree with your perspective or doesn't care about hurting you, it's when someone is manipulating you into questioning your sanity and memory, in order to get control over you and a situation. It is literally abuse.

Kalidasa_STL: Stay safe out there, don’t do any dumb shit.

Kalidasa_STL: Out me and a will. Shit, you take too long with it I’ll just put myself like I’ve been doing idgaf lol

ArdeshirMehta: I ENCOURAGE you to read the last bit - the last 50 pages - of the novel EUDAIMONIA by Kalidasa, available here:

cumine_: "Sullen girls only bring their families disgrace." From Kalidasa's Sakuntala and the Ring of Recollection, translated by Barbara Stoler Miller

Kalidasa_STL: Shit man, can’t help you there. I quit all the dumb shit, and when I was on the dumb shit I was junkie. Now, if you’re tryin’ to smoke some rocks I know who can hook you up lol

dinameena: from the calendar art. However, in the first stanza of his sonorous Ganga Ashtakam, Kalidasa moves from the concreteness of an anthropomorphic God to the eternal flux of a divine movement. Here, T M Krishna sings that stanza, beautifully translated into Tamil by Narayana Guru :

Andrew Lang Poem
Ballade Of The Midnight Forest
 by Andrew Lang

Still sing the mocking fairies, as of old,
Beneath the shade of thorn and holly-tree;
The west wind breathes upon them, pure and cold,
And wolves still dread Diana roaming free
In secret woodland with her company.

When now the wolds are bathed in silver light,
And first the moonrise breaks the dusky grey,
