    Yantra

    Very cool story! Incredible how significant they are and that I never learnt about them!!

    Homosexuality... is sorta allowed in Islam but not really

    It makes absolutely no sense to me why anyone could think that homosexuality is worst than murder.

    Atonement and Love

    I think that Love is Oneness but I'm not sure how atonement comes into it. Love your profile pic btw. As of yesterday I have learned what the Sri Yantra is and have been reading up on it. M

    I really appreciate the time you put into thinking about this and also for responding thoughtfully :)

    Sorry for the late reply! I suppose what I'm getting at is I don't see the point of this purpose of overcoming suffering through realisation over lifetimes if there is no individual soul. Why would the process exist or be necessary of there is no individual? Not to say the concept is wrong, but...

    Yantra

    Thank you, this is also really helpful. I love the concept of yantra, and never knew the connection with it and mantra and tantra.

    If the soul is not individual, why would it have a lesson/truth to learn? What is the purpose?

    I think that reincarnation is possible but one thing I'm really curious about is whether is happens outside of the soul's control or if the soul chooses to come back.

    That doesn't really answer the question though, which remains: is there a reason behind existence or is it all just coincidental? How is any of it even possible? I personally find any answer to this question spectacularly unfathomable.

    Yantra

    Hi all! I've been doing a little reading on Yantras and interestingly, though I grew up in Hinduism, it's never been an emphasised aspect of my religious experience. I was never taught their meaning or significance and I didn't know anyone who kept them in their home or anything like that. Is...

    Is YHVH Equal To Brahma or Brahman?

    The process of birth, maturation and death only occur in the material existence, according to Hindu religion. Aging is part of the process. We're not talking about the Kingdom of God. Even Hindus believe in a Spiritual existence whereupon the individual exists eternally without aging. Anyways...

    Do you believe in the death penalty?

    It's certainly not a simple situation with a simple solution. Whichever system is used, there will be problems and people who suffer unfairly. It seems to be a utilitarian ethical dilemma and so it's a matter of understanding which system has a higher 'good' balance and I suppose that's...

    Is YHVH Equal To Brahma or Brahman?

    I agree. It's probably a bad translation. Shiva is most certainly not similar to the Abrahamic 'devil'. Sure. My explanation was simplistic for easy understanding. Death is not necessary for a baby to be born. However that baby is born, matures, and dies one day. Each phase is associated...
