    Jyotish

    Indeed, I also disagree with what most people say about Rahu AND Ketu. They are seen as 100% melefic, but Ketu is a planet that can be very important to giving Moksha. Now, ones own actions are what gives one Moksha, but Ketu can help. I look at Ketu as a helper of attaining Liberation. And Rahu...

    Jyotish

    Sure! I learned alot about the precision of the equinoxes, or Ayanamsa. It was confusing at first, but of utmost importance. I actually use Raman Ayanamsa instead of Lahiri. Rahu and Ketu where interesting and actually, where they are positioned in the chart, started making alot of sense as...

    Jyotish

    Nope, his moon is exhalted in Taurus and his sun is exhalted in Aries. He has something like 5 planets exhalted. Exhalted means that a planet is at is strongest, debilitated means the planet it weak. (edit)- Actually, Kalicharan, I had my info wrong. My mistake!!! Lord Rama's Janma...

    Jyotish

    Yeah, I have been studying Jyotish for a year and it is sooooo much for difficult than western astrology. I love sidereal though. But when I heard of Nakshatras, Navamsa chart, Rahu and Ketu, etc. I was overwhelmed, but overtime i learned to understand it (slightly). And in Jyotish I am Aquarius...

    Jyotish

    Hello and Hare Krsna! I was wondering if anyone here has an interest in Jyotish (Vedic Astrology)? Im not asking for experts, just anyone who has an interest, however large or small. The reason why I ask is because I am collecting info about the various incarnations of the Lord and their...

    Is syncreticism unnecessary?

    Ill hop in and echo this, too. I have, in the past tried syncretic practices but have always found inconsistencies. Like, Buddhas talking about No-self and Emptiness and trying to sync that with Advaita vedantas Brahman. That brought about so much confusion in me that felt forced to drop one. I...

    Opposition's to advaita.

    Firstly, thank you for commenting! I enjoyed reading your response and it gave me alot to consider. This is exactly what I was talking about! How could Brahman become so confused by His own power in the first place? If I cast a spell, I know how it works, it's nature and everything right from...

    Opposition's to advaita.

    The reasons why I fell away from Advaita (I followed it years ago), was because of it's view point on Maya and one of it's doctrines called "Eka Jiva Vada" Firstly, if God is Shaktiman and His power is Shakti and we are all one with God, how did we become deluded by our own energy? That would...

    A possible view?

    Thank you for your responses! And Jainarayan, that's basically what I feel like doing, but with different philosophical leanings. Kind of like a Vishishtadvaita or Dvaitadvaita Smartism that accepts a difference between God and Soul, but that all gods and goddesses are aspects of one God. I...

    A possible view?

    Hello, I have been divided in between some philosophical standpoints in Hinduism. I really like Vishishtadvaita, but I don't necessarily want to be Vaishnava. I take the view point that all gods and goddesses are aspects of the supreme Brahman, but also believe that we Jivas are different...

    Regulative principles

    My question is simple: the four regulative principals, are they only for members of ISKCON, or all of Gaudiya Vaishnavism? I have searched the śastra and can't find them and just want to know if it's something Prabhupada required. Thank you :)

    Association with conspiracy.

    Is this true of all gaudiya vaishnavas? Are they all fundamentalist? Or is this simply true of Hare Krishnas?

    Association with conspiracy.

    Why has the Hare Krishna's for some reason got themselves involves with the beliefs in many conspiracies? I understand saying the prabhupada was possibly poisoned, that is within the movement, but what about "chemtrails", "illuminati", NWO, etc. I see alot of them saying that what prabhupada...

    Troubles

    Hello! I haven't been on here for a while, probably a year. My interest in eastern philosophy goes back five years. But the past year has been quite different. For some reason I got in with the wrong group of friends. For the past year I have experimented with many substances, over 20...

    Demon cult in Kuala Lumpur threatening me

    I was a buddhist for about a year and a half and I did some study on this Dorje Shugden. I never came to a clean conclusion of whether or not this personality was a "demon" or not. When in doubt, I just chose not to add him to my practice. I think its interesting how Buddhas teaching surrounded...

    My Guru's Disappearance Day

    Perhaps you are looking at this in a negative light, Madhuri. Doesnt it say in the Gita that one should neither lament for the living or the dead? Therefore, no need to feel sad.

    I cant believe you continue to imply certain things upon others posts that they dont even say. :facepalm:

    what is hinduisms highest priority

    I do agree with Riverwolf here. Many of your claims, Kaisersose, haven been making me think if Gaudiya Vaishnavaism is right for me. Its just that your tone is hostile, but your points do sometimes make sense, ill give you that.
