    vedanta society

    I'm thinking of trying The Vedanta Society again, I just found out that they do Aarati every morning and evening. I went to a Sunday Service there once and it wasn't really for me. I'm hoping The Aarati is more for me. I will keep you posted. Maya

    Ganesha helps

    Last week we stayed in a family house in Florida. We were told to take the key that was hidden on top of an outlet, open the door and then put the key back. There was no need to lock the door during the week we were there, so as not to loose their key we would just leave it where it was in the...

    Our previous religions

    Since there has been a lot of talk about other religions lately, I would like to ask you this; Which religions did you believe in in your past lives? Did you think that all other religions were false then too, or is it just in this life that you think that? Maya

    Another thread on Siddhis

    I was inspired by Vinayaka´s thread and he gave his blessing to start a new one. Do you believe in them? If you do, do you think it is good to try to develop them? If someone has them, should they use them? Or would they be too hard to control? Maya
