Namaste,
I sorta disagree with Vinayaka-ji. I think trying to work out numerous lives worth of Karma in this very life is not at all the way to go about attaining Moksha. As this would take eons. It is only the Lord who can accomplish the extinguishment of such a vast amount of karma for the...
Namaste,
It seems i'm not the only one with a taste for long commentaries! HAHAHA I just ordered a copy of Sri Ramanujacharyaji's Sri Bhashya... It was so expensive (probably because any book on our Ubhaya Vedanta philosophy is pretty obscure even to Western Hindus) but i'm psyched to memorize...
Namaste Dear One,
This is very interesting!!!! I'd be very intrigued to learn where they come from and all of their philosophical leanings... You know me, philosophical discourse is one of my worldly passions... Hahaha However, it seems (from their Wikipedia page anyway) that unlike other...
If you're ever in the NH area in Nashua there is the Hindu Temple of NH which is alright. Very non-denominational, i'm not sure if it's smarta or just all inclusive but it's set in an office building and they are striving to make it into a temple as best as they can.
Here's the link to The...
Interesting, and i think i'd agree with Satsangi-ji! I've always considered that all karma (actions) are to be analyzed by their intention. It is the Lord that passes on the reward or punishment for our karma... I find that it is only up to the Lord to determine when we should go, it is not up...
Namaste Dear Ones,
I humbly yet strongly disagree with this assertion... Things in life are not always black and white. There can be a lot of grey area. Not everyone fits into two categories and despite the fact that i'm a Sri Vaishnava, i recognize a Nirguna as well as Saguna Brahman. Sri...
Dear One,
I humbly hope that by assisting other beings with my obviously minute efforts, that Sriman Narayana will know that my efforts are aimed at serving Him!
Jaya Sriman Narayana and Allah'u'Abha!
Namaste Dear Ones,
Let us remember that equanimity and ahimsa are considered beautiful virtues of various Hindu and Buddhistic traditions. Unless one is speaking from a completely Enlightened/God-Realized/Self-Realized perspective, one may have their opinions but that's all they are--just...
Namaste Dear Ones,
I feel bad because i haven't been paying attention to the forums lately... Been so busy trying to establish a career... You know, Artha... ;) Anyway, back on subject...
Ever since i joined the Hindu fold, Lord Vishnu has followed me. He was the first i ever read about...
Namaste ImmortalPhoenix-ji,
I believe, correct me if i'm wrong, that Krishna.com is a Hare Krishna site. Which means that out of the many philosophical traditions of Vedantic Hinduism they adhere to Achintya Bheda-Abhedha (inconcievable oneness and difference), this is not a universal...
IMHO, this also has not been my experience. The idea of needing to be born WITHIN the caste system is one that comes from only a partial understanding of the caste system itself. It is only in a cultural sense that caste can be used to mean that one person is better or "more Hindu" than another...
