Wow.
I just don't know how to react to this. Part of
me hopes that you're kidding, and another part is
horrified to consider the possibility that you're
not.
Do you honestly believe that you can realize
enlightenment while trying to make your life fit
into nice neat rows?
That's the point. If you have to put effort into community living,
then its distracting you
from more important issues. Now, is it really effortful to live on
wavey streets instead of
straight streets? I live on a semi-circle and I have a hard time
figuring out North, but that's
me. HOWEVER, the SV claim apparently is based on some intuition
about the interaction of
devas with the land and the users of the land. It's a religious
thing, obviously, unless some
scientific basis can be found for the claims.
Are you criticizing the entire Hindu culture and religion because
their tradition says
streets alligned with NS/EW are better than streets that aren't?
Did you see the picture I posted dude?
Talk about square peg in amorphous hole!
