zenzero... the concept of Dvaita is different from Advaita for the reason that it does not except oneness of God Almighty. In Dvaita identity of soul atman is considered separate from Brahman... eternal God! The concept of Dvaita is not related to prakriti (insentient matter) that encompasses...
Gabethewiking... a perfect query! First I shall explain the difference between the two. Initially existed theory of evolution that explains how cosmos... the whole cosmic system came into being! The cosmos having come into existence needed a process of evolution by which life proceeded ahead in...
zenzero... the functioning of physical manifest world does not always hold well in spiritual system! For living the physical manifest life in a meaningful manner... we need balancing our life but in the spiritual world... we have to negate presence of karma in totality! Similar as one KG of gold...
Sunstone... in each and every case as per Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism I stand for our soul atman... the spirit within! We are not a bodily form that has manifested a soul atman... we are in fact a pure consciousness... a soul atman... a spirit that has manifested human form to work out its...
Troublemane... when six years of age I was really fascinated by path of truthfulness... do not know why! Whenever I wrote the line... "Following truth in life is the best policy"... I felt extremely happen from within! I inherently started following path of absolute truthfulness so much so that...
zenzero... talking of mind we need to understand that no individual human being ever has a mind! We all have a brain that works as a transmitting or a receiving station! All thoughts to our brain are invoked by one incessantly based on residual balance of karma of the moment! Yogis dwelling in...
Satsangi... I may not be able to give you exact details right now but moment my live commentary on Bhagavad Gita starts on Internet... I shall do so! Please send your query by e-mail also... so that I remember! It is not in one shloka verse this exact truth of life has been stated but many...
Anti-religion... if Srila Prabhupada stated something... it is not the last word on the subject! As per Bhagavad Gita in a Kali Yuga... the present Dark Age... metal age... reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) seems next to impossible! Following path of spirituality is treading an...
nameless... forums do hold a lot of meaning when intelligent queries get exchanged... clarifying doubts whenever possible!
Some important articles-
Jnana Yoga
Inner Self
Karma
Satsangi... we can never generalize the issue! During times of Vedas... every single Sage who compiled an Upanishad (independent treatise) was enlightened! Enlightenment was gained by thousands if not millions! Not that every Sage reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)! It is only in...
zenzero... my understanding of rituals is different! People go to Haridwar for taking dip in river Ganges (the sacred Ganga)... to what avail! Does a dip in Ganges River absolve us from sins! By visiting religious places like Vaishno Devi, Badrinath, Kedarnath or any of Dhams bring us nearer to...
Wannabe Yogi... I agree... all paths are true provided we start in right direction. If our goal of life is reaching Bombay from New Delhi... we can go on foot... by a cab, a rickshaw, by bus, train or an airplane... whatever the means available! As long as we go in right direction... all is...
krishnakanta... the path of bhakti yoga as practiced in times of Mira Bai, Eknath, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu... and numerous others is totally missing in present times! Achieving God Almighty through path of bhakti yoga in past was possible but not in present times! It is only by eradicating karma in...
zenzero... if the concept of Dvaita is flawed from beginning... how can one reach ultimate goal of life! If we desire going from New Delhi to Mumbai and we take a road that goes to Chandigarh... we shall never in our lifetime reach our goal! Treading the right path from beginning is essence of...
Wannabe Yogi... as long as we try to assimilate teachings of sacred scriptures literally... we never get anywhere! Having seen light of sun in all its glory... it is easy for me to distinguish it from light of candle or bulb! Having reached source of all wisdom in cosmos... the sacred contents...
