    Hinduism and spiritual/scripture dietary regulation

    Vinyaka that is the very reason why I have the questions that I do hehe, it's the no strong law idea that I am trying to get around I guess. I am coming from a Christian background, forgive my narrow questions if they are coming off as such. It's to the point that I become sort of lost in my...

    sometimes am curious about exploring other faiths...

    That is what I have been doing for quite some time now, taking from religions and mashing it into my own... but it feels sort of empty after a while. It seems convenience trumps over all sometimes for most of us, but I too am trying to seek something higher and know that it won't just be...

    Hinduism and spiritual/scripture dietary regulation

    I have been trying to find a credible source online (yeah I know haha) for days now about what are the do's and dont's on what is allow for food or consumption in Hinduism. Can anyone point me to the right direction on specific scriptures/writings that do say it prohibits the meats and seafood?

    TouchedByTheLord I do believe in "The truth is one, but the wise know it by many names..." You said some might not consider you Hindu, is it because you weren't born into it? Acceptance amongst your fellow man is nice (not needed but nice), do you think there would be any animosity towards you...

    Ahh! I see. Then again I am not a hindu as well :) I thought there were views on these things that would be religion based and not by social standards. My apologies for not being clear. I believe music touches the soul and can have an effect on a person, this is why I asked about this.

    Don't see much about Hinduism in what? I just have a few questions about how certain things are viewed hehe, thanks for trying! I'm assuming it depends on what you follow as a Hindu that determines if tattoos are ok or not like the Ramnamis? I understand that Hinduism is incredibly vast but I...

    Hello all. I am in the process of finding my way in this vast world of ours, I have been slowly but surely gravitating towards the Hindu philosophy and have a great deal of interest in it. I also am a person that enjoys technology as much as spirituality. What are the current or at least most...
