    Jagannath

    Um. I wasn't trying to do anything. I posted a quote from the article. It was them that said it not me. :shrug: @ShivaFan Thanks for sharing that! Very interesting. :)

    Jagannath

    I randomly came across a PDF from what turns out to be an e-magazine called Orissa Review. They have some interesting articles, poems/prayers and things about Jagannath. I honestly don't know much about him, his worship, history, etc. He has a very different look from nearly all the other...

    Favorite mythological tales?

    I have many, but here's one-- For some reason, I've always liked the birth story of Huitzilopochtli. He was born of the goddess Coatlicue. She was sweeping in a temple and from the sky, a ball of feathers floated down. She put these feathers under her clothes, either by her breasts or...

    Can't find lyrics

    The only thing I could find was a Sai Baba bhajan. I doubt it's the same song, but some of the words sound similar. Like, I think I hear a "j" word in the one you posted and there is are "j" words in the Sai song. But I can't hear Saraswati in the one you posted, but are in the other lyrics. The...

    Kosher coffee?

    I was curious about this as well, as I see Kosher labels on all my teas (black, herbal, etc) and just about everything in the pantry. I'm not joking, it's on tons of stuff, so I was confused why it was listed. It's either a little K in a circle, or a U in a circle or a K and Parve. I understand...

    Why do people believe Tupac Shakur is still alive?

    I don't know why they're still floating around, but if you search Google you'll find plenty of conspiracy lists and sites that go into their reasoning. For those who haven't seen-- Examples: (profanity is at sites via comments and his lyrics, so keep that in mind) Tupac and Death--59 factors...

    Which [non-Windows] OS do you use?

    I have Ubuntu on my netbook. It originally came with Windows XP, but eventually it died. Something crashed and all I'd get was a Black-Screen-of-Death at start-up. I tried flashing the BIOS, no help. I thought it was a lost cause until my brother mentioned trying Linux. So I put Ubuntu on a...

    Your Birth Religion

    I voted Agnostic/Atheist. Mostly agnostic because though there was some spirituality, it was rather vague and not a focal point. I was taught spirituality via Eckankar. My father was the one that got into it. I just remember reading an Eckankar book about a rabbit who had big feet and wanted to...

    Samael in Catholic tradition

    I am not a Catholic or Christian, but since no one replied, I thought I would. I haven't found much, if any mention of Samael in a Christian, let alone Catholic context. I posted two links in your Samael in Judaism thread, that would be of better help, I think. Samael for the most part of a...

    Audio/video of Nianfo, Nembutsu, Buddhanama, etc.

    I like that one. It's nice :) Also reminds me of Gregorian chanting, which is cool.
