From "Time and Temporality in Samkhya Yoga and Abhidharma Buddhism" by Braj Sinha (available here)
The Gita upholds Samkhya metaphysics to a large extent. It is of the nature of tamas to "reach forward" as opposed to being still (this is the nature of sattva). Samkhya holds that the empiric...
The Mahabharata has an account where Arjuna and Krishna worship Shiva.
Govindam adi purusham is a hymn sung by Brahma in praise of the superiority of Vishnu.
Since Rama kills Ravana (one of the foremost Shiva Bhakts) in the Ramayana, Rama has to perform worship to Shiva.
In Hinduism, there is...
Sayak, perhaps you have access to this essay from elsewhere, I do not know. In any case, if possible, look up Arindam Chakrabarti's article "I touch what I saw" which appeared in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. He does a great job outlining various views (including Buddhist views) and...
Had to ask after seeing so many of your long posts that obviously should be taking a lot of time to conceive, put thought to keyboard before pressing "post reply". The other guy ends up posting repetitive one or two liners of his own before linking to an Ahmadi website or copy pasting from...
The realist has many responses available at this point.
The realist will point out that if there is no underlying entity/substance that possesses these qualities, how does one make statements like "I touch what I see"? Greenness is seen while hardness is felt. If there were *just* greenness and...
I mentioned in one of my earlier posts to you that the Nyayasutras are not a theological treatise. They seek to establish rules of argumentation and technical terminology that was indeed adopted by many of their opponents themselves. Proving the existence of God is not the Nyayasutras' concern...
Nyaya is quite famous, in the Indian context, of having their own version of the cosmological argument to prove the existence of God.
A good source on Nyaya ontological categories and their philosophy of mind where various cosmological arguments are compared against the Nyaya version is Kisor...
Brother Dawud. Please try to understand from the perspective of Sunni Muslims for whom Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari are important hadith books. If you look at the second video I posted in my original post on this thread, you will see the sheikh rather eloquently *defend* the hadiths and the...
um...I just refuted the OP. You can either refute the OP or else support the OP. Instead you embark on some bizarre type of meta-psycho-analysis of posters. Why?
Sorry.
Ayesha was 6 at marriage and your prophet penetrated her when she was 9. No way on earth you can dance around this my friend without disowning your own scriptures.

Nah. His theology would crumble if that happens.
The funny part is, Sunnis and Shias do not even recognize the founder of his religion and here paar is trying his valiant best to convince Hindus that they should follow Ahmadism.
Do you notice he never comments on threads in the ISLAM DIR where...
I do not have access to that version. I have Samkhyakarika with commentary by Vacaspati Misra by Swami Virupakshananda.
The very first verse of the karika is a propitiatory verse. The commentary on this verse mentions a variety of devatas and explicitly talks of Vedic injunctions and discusses...
