    a question of sraddha , and the difference between faith and beleif

    Jai Shri Ram! I believe that it is a very natural thing; very organic, full of life, restorative and ultimately essential. - Oh, you said "belief"? I thought you said "a leaf"! (As great as this joke is, I think that it is wasted on the internet and, if anything, just makes me seem illiterate!)...

    Shiva vs. Ravana

    Jai Shri Ram! It's nice that I stumbled upon this post having logged in after what feels like ages - well, I say that, it is only when you translate "ages" to "yugas" does the exaggeration of that phrase truly hit home! Anyway, let me do my best impression of an efficient pencil-sharpener. (No...

Are you denying God's capacity to present Himself in a shower? Shri...

    Questions For Advaita or Vishishtadvaita Vedanta

    The concept of the trimurti, regardless of whether or not 'Vaishnavs' accept it or not is ingrained into the Hindu religion. This superiority complex doesn't please God in any of the forms God holds and just harms people. Do you think Lord Vishnu is happy when you say the Trimurti doesn't exist...

    Questions For Advaita or Vishishtadvaita Vedanta

    Hi, firstly, I'd like to say I'm no expert...actually, I'd like to say I am a big expert but, you know what I mean! 'Para Brahman' actually means 'Supreme entity/God/etc.' Another word often used to describe Brahman is 'Paramatma' which translates as 'Supreme Soul'. Nothing is beyond Brahman as...
