Namaste,
I have been interested in the topic of śākhās for quite some time now and I'd like to know more!
First of all, I think śākhās were groups of people that specialized in understanding certain branches of one of the four védas. As usual when it comes to...
Hey.
I've decided to dive into meditation, theoretically and practically. The meditation I'm trying to focus on is Vedantic and Yogic and my main source of information is this webpage: Vedantic Meditation
I've seen this webpage on these forums provided by a member here; I cannot exactly...
I'm curious to know how the phenomenom of Avatara has developed and evolved, if anyone has any information on this topic, I'd appriciate it.
I'm also interested in different views on Krishan, who was mentioned in the one of I believe, Mukhya Upanishads.
Thanks. :)
EDIT: It seems I accidentaly...
So, being the occasionaly lazy bum that I occasionally am, I thought I'd ask what were the first sources of magic? The first scriptures, the origins of magic?
Thanks for your answers and please don't cast any spells on me. :)
This is just a quick post before I run off to bed.
I was thiking, what would, in Vedic view, be the reason for (atleast, the appereant) seperation between Devas&Asuras, Saguna Brahman and humans. What would be the reason for the Devas not to mentain contact with us or reveal themselves, be...
I've been wondering alot about this, not only lately, but before as well.

If we look at...
I have been reading alot on Advaita lately and I find it very interesting. There is one peculiar question that keeps arising however, and that is the awarness and purpose of Ishwara.
Before I explain what I mean by those two things, I want to say that I'm speaking about Ishwara from an Advaitic...
Heya. I'm relatively new here, have been here for the past month or so. I've joined mainly to ask some questions pertaining to Hinduism, but decided to stick to this forum afterwards.
A little bit about me:

I'm very interested in what the Dharmic community thinks of this. All the other parts are posted as video responses.
I think this to be a fairly interesting topic to discuss, and also a topic which I do not have a definate answer for and have not met anyone whose answer I would consider definate.
Now, some people believe in a spiritual world where there is Krishna as God and some that there is no such thing...
To get directly to the point, I'm very interested in the Vedic martial arts, warfare, combat, whatever you wish to call it. Namely, it's refered in the Vedas as the Dhanurveda. Upon googling many, many times the only links I have encountered are those presenting scriptures that do not hail...
Hey!
My name is Nejc and I'm new here :). I found this forum by accident, so I thought I'd register and share some thoughts with you. Well, mostly dilemas actualy.
As of few months back, I was still a Vaishnava, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
I came upon some literature that presents...
