How many times I've told you "I am no more here", and again how many times that, "I'll continue following your posts as time permits"?
Brother you know my secrets. I've loved Her day in day out..
Absolutely. Don't worry time will come when everyone will know. Recently, on HDF in a post...
And that is the point.
This is why Arya is preferable over Vaidika, because whereas Vaidika almost with mathematical accuracy draws a clear distinction between our Dharma and the others such as Buddhist etc which Dont follow Veda, on the other hand Arya doesn't bother to be entirely exclusive...
Namaste Ratikala,
Actually, everyone here has completely understood, from the very start, what you meant to convey.
You also wrongly accused HLK of being intolerant and immature (I see it has become easy to pick on someone like him). HLK however on the contrary not only understood you but also...
Namaste HLK, Ravi,
Thank you for your responses.
No doubt, Hinduism has been the "owner" of Arya (Sanatana?) Dharma. Even then, the time seems to have arrived when this Dharma now needs to "breath on its own", as a VisvaDharma in truest sense.
As we know there are plenty of Hindus (JNU...
Namaste Ratikala
Mostly this will be an isolated post from me here merely as an observation.The answer to your problems lay hidden in this key post by HLK:
So HLK correctly points out "Arya Dharma" as the right word. Add to it SF's suggestion that the same Hinduism DIR needs renaming, that's...
ShivaFan, in my assessment you are no less than a guru. Your grasp of the depths and widths of the labyrinth called Hinduism is something very special and rare. It has always been a delight conversing with you.
pranam Aupmanyav,
We don't prepare/ eat any food there, though the offerings (arghya) made to Usha, Ratri and Chathi Ma are later distributed into family and friends as prasāda, which contains many items such as dry fruits, "thekua", "pirakia", fruits such as banana, apples, oranges...
Namaste friends,
Here is a very nice post by ShivaFan which he posted on some other forum (that accidentally I came across), however going by the date (15 Nov '13), I believe the right place for the post will be here in this thread as it pertains to - I believe but could be wrong- to my...
I agree.
I only hope after the next years election that is corrected.
This one also seems reasonable, going by the ways of the world. So I guess, this is it. ba-bye RF, dear members. So far so good.

By and large foreigners are seen by the average Hindu in India as people who, though distributing some goodies (which he is more than glad to accept), are out to get much more in the end than they are out to "give".
Every nickel has a high price set on it. Thankfully India as a nation don't...
MV,
We are two desperate-st people desperate-ing over the dasyu globe, sitting at the opposite poles of it, aren't we?
Lighten up buddy, we at least somewhat get it what MitraVaruna means or what DyavaPrithvi signifies. When it is day here in India, it is night there in America, and vice-versa...
Hey MV
I so much wished you were an Indian Hindu, not American.
You know I have very low opinion of Indian-Americans (sorry I'm not *universal* enough).
Americans, every one of them, have blood on their hands (and conscience)- I doubt if anything at all could clean it - as we all know even if...
It is usually bhagavAn भगवान, though many times as in vocative sense one says bhagavan भगवन् but I don't think I've heard of bhAgavan भागवन, however we usually say bhAgavAn...
MV,
please, please, please,
"don't bend it like Jaskaran".
You ought to give at least verse reference, if not full translation. Howdy, how'd we know what it's all about?
हे भागव (O Bhag-bhakta/ BhAgava), is this quixotic disorientation caused by not finding your firm footing in wiki, google, other online/ offline resources, apropos of KT's Bhaga-inspired nuggets of xtreme wiz-dom?
Why not quote some of your favourite verses...
The Sanskrit behind Vrata is also worth mentioning. We are told Vrata has the root vṛi. If we see vṛi=> va + ṛi, that is, as a derived root, then we have
va + ṛta => vrata
(not in a sandhi sense, because vrata has to be made from vṛi, not ṛta).
Now, the...
@Aupmanyav
Now I am getting it. You are neither atheist nor advaiti. You are the bhakta of the Vedic Deva Bhag.
All other gods are obliged to appear at the slightest summon of Bhag. Sometimes one calls it river, sometimes semi-conductor, microchip, sometimes they call it "lol", sometimes...
