    Can a Person practice Sanatan Dharma and another Religion at once?

    Dear brother senedjem, sanAtana Dharma does not prohibit you from following any other religion along with it unless it contradicts the Dharma itself. For example, for a person following a religion where non-veg is prohibited, he will find it difficult to follow a religion where it says you have...

    eternally transmigrating souls outside Dvaita?

    Dearest yogi bhai, I am a strict follower of ACArya maDhwa. Does this mean that SrI Cakra cannot be worshipped by a mADhwa? No, instead if you just visit ACArya maDhwa`s place in pAjaka-udupi, you will find the SrI Cakra inscribed inside the kuladEvi durgA temple there. Can you please tell me...

    eternally transmigrating souls outside Dvaita?

    My dearest brother akshara dasa, you are such a wonderful person! They say, to err is humane-to forgive, divine. May I add, to remorse for what wrong you have done is greater than humane, you are a very good person my brother. By the way, it is maDhwa and not madhava. MADhava is a name of Lord...

    All languages are religious, which is less or which is more should be left out of this topic. Please keep languages out of the point when discussing religion. If needs arise, start a new thread on languages related to religion and I will duly participate in it.

    Does the Caste System Predate Hinduism?

    Nothing precedes this religion, only Gods do! The people of harappa and mohenjodaro were also strictly followed sanAtana Dharma. They performed religious rights with great fervour just like us, no matter what they say now, the religion followed was sanAtanI.

    Who Wrote the Upanishads?

    Dear friends, just like the vEdAs, upaniShads were not written, they were passed on from guru to SiShya. The ending part of each vEda is known as the vEdAnta and upaniShads are a part of vEdAnta. There are 108 upaniShads totally. Each upaniShad has the name of its preceptor embedded in it. They...

    My dearest sister Lyn, You are such a wonderful person to have asked these questions. Behind everything that happens anywhere, there is a motive of the Gods to educate mankind and this is also the same. As you have already mentioned, mankind staying in any state, either good or bad, is...

    Priestesses in Hinduism?

    All we can think of is how we feel. Let others decide for themselves. I know that no one is forcing their thoughts on others here but, it simply has been the same from the past and people who have been practicing it(including me) still believe it has to be the same way in the future too. But as...

    eternally transmigrating souls outside Dvaita?

    And again, to like or dislike a person or writing is one`s own choice, but to derive from Wikipedia? I mean, to know a person or his preachings, one has to indulge into the person`s works directly. But as it is mentioned clearly, if its not appealing, whats the use of going through the hardship...

    eternally transmigrating souls outside Dvaita?

    ACArya maDhwa never said that there is no end to transmigration from soul to soul. What he said is that an Athma will travel from one body to another till it understands the paramAthma and the moment it understands the paramAthma, it will cease to follow the cycle of birth and death, that is...
