    Buddhist Literature

    While I was staying over at my father's place today (I visit him once a week for the whole day), we went out to our local shopping centre. We passed by a clothing store (run by Asian people), and just outside the store, they had shelves and shelves just full of Buddhist books, CD's, DVD's and...

    Gay Discrimination in India

    http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/current-events/159984-india-just-got-more-dangerous-2.html I just thought I would post this here, but I cannot give any personal views on it (I keep those to myself). Here, Hindus can give comment on implications - both religious and political. You can...

    The Beatles - Together and Apart

    This thread comes on the heels of a reply I made in another, and I felt like doing the justice of giving it a separate discussion. Here is my original post: http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/3662643-post11.html I would you all like to: a) Post your favourite 4 solo tracks made by each...

    Sukyo Mahikari

    Yay, the first thread about it. lol I recall way, way back now to the late 70's and early '80's when this movement was really big (especially in Australia). Along with the 'Orange People' and Eckankar (which I also do recall), there was this fad/cult...although, we just knew it as Mahikari...

    Instant Karma

    After a very long time praying to Lord Siva out of love and not even expecting anything, I notice my life and personal situation just keeps on going from bad to worse. Last night, I just couldn't take being ignored anymore, so I said, 'you know what, Siva? I am done with you. If this happens...

    Ananda Sutra

    Yeah- NYK's 'thread of bliss'. Feeling so down after all the fighting on here, about the 'qualifications' it takes to 'be a Hindu', like some kind of pass/fail university course...I thought I'd do something positive... So, what do you love about Hinduism? What makes you happy to be a Hindu...

    Hindu Persecution Complex

    I briefly touched on this in another thread, but decided to make a topic out of it. How much of what Hindus perceive to be happening in India is actually true? How much of it is just paranoia? Is Hinduism really under threat of extinction from 'Mlecchas' or Christians, or is it just a...

    Students Running Amok

    I just saw a news item on TV and it sickened me...totally: Fired for defending himself on MSN Video What is the world coming to, when a teacher cannot defend his life against a student who attacks him physically? Pretty soon, there are going to be no teachers and children won't be able to get...

    Experiencing Shiva

    This thread piggybacks on the following one, but with a 'Hindu feel': http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/religious-debates/158251-religious-experience-versus-mystical-experience.html I was wondering how 'mystical experiences' can be handed out like lollies at a candy store, when to me, this...

    Trataka Online

    The practice of Dharana (focused awareness/concentration) is a common practice to both Buddhism and Hinduism alike. It is the ability to direct one's gaze at an external object, internalise it and then transcend it. Before the internet/computers, this was done using such 'props' as a...

    The Mountain of Om

    So, in researching something else, I was afforded with many images of Om 'simulacrum' so I thought I would share: Y0w1TpSEi1I Shiva in Mansarovar lake- Anybody like to chime in? Om Namah Shivay

    The Western Misappropriation of Tantra

    ...and other sacred practices. This thread comes on the back of the 'ganja' one, and a PM I received to make it...I am still unsure about how I am going to 'make it'....but I thought if I started, it will happen... Most of my core philosophies and those surrounding the practice of Tantra can...

    New Year's Resolutions

    Yeah, some of us still make 'em, but whether we see it through for even the first week or month of the New Year is a different story. My health and budget has seen a rapid decline in the past few months, so those will be the areas I shall be focusing on in 2014. ...not staying up until...

    Mukti Gupteshwar Mandir - Home of the 13th Jyotirlingham - Home It's about 5kms away from where I live and I have only been a few times during the past year. I still cannot get over the fact there are 13 Jyotir Lingams... I'm thinking about going more often just to do the Yoga/Hindi...

    Meet a Dead Swami Thread

    Unfortunately, I don't know any 'living Swamis' and after doing a inventory of Gurus, I have decided to post a few pictures of those Swamis I have met/been inspired by. I am posting pictures so as not to confuse anybody as to who they are...least of all, confuse myself. Swami Venkateshananda...

    Is there any 'safe' level of Generalization?

    So, you know how it is; you say something based on your experiences...only to have somebody who must prove you wrong at all costs chime in with a 'wait, that's never happened to me' or 'I am not like that person you describe'. You do think they are doing it rather intentionally though and that...

    Anuloma Viloma (Nadi Shodhana)

    Heya...here's another thing I do to get myself ready for meditation (along with Trataka - which will be the next thing I write about). Instead of explaining it...it's great Google exists! Breathing Exercise (Pranayama) - Alternate Nostril (Anuloma Viloma) This is just great for...
