Namaste,
Each physical part of body has a energy counterpart part. Hindu-s believe in existence of 5 bodies. The prANamaya kosha which is called as energy body or aura has chakra-s and nADI-s (nerves made up of energy). Similarly, all living beings have subtle bodies. Even plants have subtle...
Namate,
This is not correct
यजन्ते सात्त्विका देवान्यक्षरक्षांसि राजसाः।
प्रेतान्भूतगणांश्चान्ये यजन्ते तामसा जनाः।।17.4।।
।।17.4।।सात्त्विक मनुष्य देवताओंका पूजन करते हैं? राजस मनुष्य यक्षों और राक्षसोंका और दूसरे जो तामस मनुष्य हैं? वे प्रेतों और भूतगणोंका पूजन करते हैं।

Yes It is my blog. Please can you point out where I have written it? It is same for wife too.

Brother, As I have said earlier, Please do not start this topic, Adi Sankara was vaiShNav, and all other things. Lets just practice what our AcArya-s have told us to. There is no Misconception on my part. Just as you have mentioned viShNu sahasranAma, please refer vishNu sahasranAma...

Where the land is barren or suffers from frequent droughts, animal breeding is done for survival. In some states like West Bengal, they are flooded for half the year. Hence one cannot do any farming. So they started eating Fish. Bengalis consider Fish as veg. Some also say that those...

Most vaiShNav sampradAya believes in Brahman is nArAyaNa and viShNu is nArAyaNa. While advaitins take viShNu and nArAyaNa as all-pervading consciousness, which is formless, vaiShNava sampradAya-s believe brahman, to be a person. So viShNu is caturbhuja viShNu and is the supreme...
Namaste,
Exactly. Infact Nathmuni came in Krishnamacharya's dreams and the great yogi himself explained a yogic treatise written by him (Nathmuni) as the text was lost.
Of-course, Guru Gorakhshanath was a Shaiva. A Nath Yogi Muktatma has written haTha yoga pradipikA and Krishnamacharya has...
Namaste,
I have tried to explain Hinduism here, but the article is 136+ page long. The article is available in many formats like pdf, google docs, etc
Earlier I had written a shorter article here
Hope this helps.

Namaste,
Some queries
No 1
First of all, my apologies for not reading all replies.
I would like to know your background as do you follow any sampradAya like Sri Vaishnava or mAdhvA or are you just a vaishnava who worships viShNu like many do. There are kapoLa vANiyA-s, dasAshrimAlI-s, etc...
Namaste,
I will try to answer some questions. I agree with @Madhuri ji
1. Yes
2. GV's dont, but newest ISKCONites do. they cite e.g. of Jaya and Vijay falling. Mostly it's western ISKCONites perspective. However, Srila Prabhupada has also said that though Jaya nad Vijaya did fall from...
Namaste All,
The basic problem is that people try to understand advaita from their own POV.
Advaita does not accept pariNAma vAda, though at times it is used w.r.t. vyavaArika satya.
In advaita, jIva does not BECOME Siva (Krishna) -- just used Shiva for rhyming ;) There is no transformation...
I agree Vinayaka ji,
The key is to raise the consciousness and sustain it. Occasional spikes (rise in consciousness or expansion of consciousness as they say) are just pointers as they give glimpse of something very divine that we had never experienced.
Anger is present, but if there is more...
