Save the world by online or e-shopping

Every day especially on weekends you might have noticed how crowded are the roads, emitting so much carbon and causing global warming, asthma and other kind of illness to people and nature. Most of these vehicles ( I would say at-least 60% even-though i don't have any statistical data) are going to a near by supermarket, shop or a shopping mall to 'buy stuff'. almost 40% of the land in a city or a town is occupied by some kind of merchandise/shop/eat outs/shopping malls/movie halls.
Problems with shopping:

  1. Face the agony of heavy traffic
  2. cause heavy traffic
  3. cause environment pollution by high carbon emission
  4. noise pollution by moving vehicles, horns etc.,
  5. cause health related issues like asthma
  6. cause stress due to traffic, noise, tiredness of traveling to the shopping destination
  7. waste of time in traveling and buying stuff
  8. rise in real estate prices due to the demand for land to setup shops
  9. increase in price of houses, since a lot of land is invested for shops
  10. The price you pay for the product=actual price of the product+profit for the shop+maintenance of the product (lighting, staff, rent for the shop etc.,)
  11. your choice of products is limited by the number of products available in the shop, if you don't have what you want then you have to travel to another shop
  12. wait in line or queue to pay for what you have bought which usually consumes more time than the time you took to buy half of your stuff.

Solution : online shopping or e shopping.
Advantages of e shopping
  1. No to heavy traffic,
  2. will not cause or be a part of heavy traffic
  3. will not cause  environment pollution by high carbon emission,
  4.  will not cause noise pollution by moving vehicles, horns etc.,
  5.  will not cause health related issues like asthma
  6.  will not cause stress due to traffic, noise, tiredness of traveling to the shopping destination
  7.  will not waste of time in traveling and buying stuff
  8.  will not rise in real estate prices due to the demand for land to setup shops
  9.  will not increase in price of houses, since a lot of land is invested for shops
  10.  you will pay for the product(sometimes delivery fee too) but not for the product=actual price of the product+profit for the shop+maintenance of the product (lighting, staff, rent for the shop etc.,)
  11.  You have all the varities that you want
  12. no need to worry about standing in line.
Disadvantages of e shopping
  1. currently not all products are available online like biscuits, cakes etc., but you will get the best deals on electronics and other goods (even soap, cosmetics, shampoo) etc.,
  2. if are not ordering from companies like flipkart but ordering from ebay or amazon then you might have to pay a little extra for the shipping.
My advice is, if you care for the environment and the nature then shop online instead of offline whenever and wherever possible. You will save money since you have many sites offering the products online and each of them are competing with each other.

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da

stackexchange: Why do many Hindus eat meat and fish? Eating meat and fish directly violates the principle of Ahimsa

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. The meaning of ahimsa today unfortunately has been equated to non violence due to the lack of equivalent word in english. Just like atma is not sould, ahimsa is not non violence. It is a state of being. Meta is discouraged and not forbidden in hinduism. Today unfortunately meat has been associated with health and fitness. Let us have a look at the animals in the jungle. Elephant - biggest animal, most powerful animal, heaviest animal Rhino, hippopotamus, wild buffalo - big, powerful, heavy deer - fastest animal giraffe, camel - tallest animal tortoise - lenghty life horse - speed, vigor donkey - most hardworking Many of these vegetarian animals (elephant, rhino, hippopotamus, wild ox, wild bull) can easily defeat any tiger, lion. In fact no lion or tiger ever dare to do a one on one with any of them. You will notice

stackexchange: What does the demon kali staying in gold mean?

 since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. I think you are taking it in the wrong direction. Many of hindu texts have sub layered meanings.So the parikshit permits him to stay only in places where there is prostituion gold (riches, display of riches) Alcohol (intoxicants which will affect your moral judgement) Gambling As you might have already figured out from the story, kali is non physical in nature and omnipresent. He can not only be present in many places at once but also many kalpas at once. So for easier understanding, think of him as the biggest influencer of immorality. Wherever these 4 things are there, there is a high chance that, the place and the people in it are immoral, unethical. Here are the same 4 things in islam and how it is restricted. Prostitution is prohibited in Islam. It is considered a form of zina, or adultery, which is a major sin
