    God cannot have Form?

    This going round in circles. We've already been through this.

    God cannot have Form?

    I do negate this philosophy When energy is influenced by Maya it see itself is non-different from the energetic, due to the lack of desire to serve the energetic, but to try and imitate the energetic's position.

    God cannot have Form?

    I think that would be a bit extreme. Although i think that the majority are not Guru's in the real sense of the term. I do consider someone like Radhanath Swami as a bonafida Guru. The Vedic process is to follow Guru, Sadhu and Sastra. You can't just follow Sastra and Sadhu. It is not...

    God cannot have Form?

    sambhūtim means God there is nothing wrong with Prabhupada's translation. It is the impersonalists who misdefine God to be some kind of impersonal energy. If there is energy there must be an energetic. What example can you give of energy that has no source?

    Simple Living and Higher Thinking

    It not practical right now because your methods depend on tons of oil, but don't worry it will become practical in the future. It is practical in terms of self-sufficiency.

    "And no one, so far, has figured out how to make a cloud." - So your own fox news article was wrong then.

    God cannot have Form?

    It's not what I consider standard its what the Brahmins of Venkateswara consider as the standard.

    God cannot have Form?

    That's ridiculous! How can refer to process of bhakti-yoga as brain washing. Prabhupada said our brains are very dirty and they need a good wash :)

    God cannot have Form?

    That's terrible! I also experienced such fanaticism. I think it is due to a lack of leadership.

    God cannot have Form?

    The Śrī Īśopaniṣad is considered to be sruti and it says: oḿ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaḿ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam...

    "And no one, so far, has figured out how to make a cloud." I think rain comes from clouds, at least that's what they taught me at school. If your understand of how it works is so thorough then why can't you make clouds? I'll start that in another thread But then how could I preach to you...

    Simple Living and Higher Thinking

    I disagree. I have seen farmers in India who have lots of time. Your only very busy at harvesting and sowing time. If you keep your needs simple then you don't need to over endeavor for economic advancement. In the varnashrama system everyone serves God through their work. So even working...

    They kicked your family out? or your family kicked you out? I hope the former. Why?

    God cannot have Form?

    What do you consider scripture apart from Vaishnava? Since Scripture comes from Vishnu anything else must not be Scripture.

    How do you know how weather happens? Your senses are very limited. Not at all. I am the follower of an enlightened being.

    Unfortunately cloud seeding still depends on clouds and "And no one, so far, has figured out how to make a cloud." Except God! Every living being is evidence of God Thats because you are nescience teacher :) Speak for yourself. An animal is a living being that's life is dedicated to eating...

    I communicate with my Guru Sri Vallabhacharya through the I-Ching.

    God cannot have Form?

    Who's standard? The standard of the impersonalists. What sampradaya does your "standard" interpretation come in. Srila Prabhupada translates sambhūtim as the eternal Personality of Godhead, His transcendental name, form, pastimes, qualities and paraphernalia, the variegatedness of His...

    God cannot have Form?

    Yes this the interpretation of Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya. As I already said it only through parampara that we can understand the Vedas, it not up to us to interpret them in anyway we want. Why? Because we are in maya. Only someone who is not in maya can properly understand the meaning of...

    Simple Living and Higher Thinking

    Like I said there could a transitional phase, but ultimately I don't think that this technological civilization is going to survive. That is one of the reasons why I think people should start being more agrarian in first place. At the end of the day the point is to live simply so that we have...
