    What is the greatest illusion?

    So that I can understand, what do you mean by The Reality of Oneness?

    What is the greatest illusion?

    rsd said: So the point is, "the grand illusion" is that so many people will deny this as having anything to do with them - that their eternal nature is to serve God for His pleasure. So yes, recognizing one's (eternal/dharma) nature is certainly a huge step in extricating oneself from the...

    What is the greatest illusion?

    The greatest religious authority in my life has said that the eternal constitutional nature of the soul is to render service to God. Otherwise, real happiness is impossible. This is mentioned in the Bhagavad-gita. Now, how many people do you know would come right out with this concept...

    Sanatana Dharma is interesting to me.

    You can be a devoted Christian and devoted Hindu at the same time.

    GBTV (Glenn Beck TV)

    Thanks for looking this up. We might be splitting hairs over the use of terrorism vs. sabotage. Over at Word IQ they say things like, "There is no universally accepted definition of terrorism. According to expert Walter Laqueur, "the only general characteristic generally agreed upon is that...

    GBTV (Glenn Beck TV)

    Anyone who has the ability to make it interesting certainly has a gift. The way he mentioned the German terrorist attack in New Jersey before WWI and how it was so massive that it registered 5.3 on the Richter Scale ...yes, he makes it interesting. Glenn explained how an exploding military...

    GBTV (Glenn Beck TV)

    To save us around $100 a month we cancelled our cable totally. Then bought two ROKU boxes and within seconds our two big flat-screens fired up and this is how we were able to watch the very first GBTV broadcast (Glenn Beck TV). Right now I have soma fm on and am listening to some quiet ambient...

    Was Jesus actually crucified?

    Well, I have posted 9 topics. Only in this one have I made any reference to my book, Abandoned. And what I have referenced has stayed on topic. But I beg you to pardon me. Now as far as promoting "my book" - what can I say? It is FREE. Free as in: send me some money and I will send it back to...

    Fox News and the Death of Jesus

    I go there because I like their archeology section. I only go there about once every couple of months. This gives enough time for new stories to pop up. I just like a quick preview. Now and then I stop and read more. If I am really interested, I may or may not search further, but that...

    Was Jesus actually crucified?

    Thanks for this. Just read it all. After reading what I consider the most authoritative account of her life, this piece was still interesting, but different. Got to have an open mind about all this. Thanks again. (re: Amazon.com: Maria of Agreda: Mystical Lady in Blue (9780826346445): Marilyn H...

    How do I make money?

    Call me old-fashion but a teenager needing to spend $450 for a friend's X-mas present??? What's up with that? Perhaps you could make something or find something heartfelt, but way less expensive. There are so many alternatives. I would encourage you to re-examine things.

    Lord's Prayer

    My understanding is that this is simply telling us that God's name is holy. HOW His Name is holy, now that many have written books about.

    Fox News and the Death of Jesus

    About every two months or so I go to Fox News and click on their Sci tech link and then click on their Archaeology Link. You can see it here: Archaeology | Scitech | Fox News I just love archaeology and there always seem to be something uncovered with a religious twist. Since this forum is a...

    Was Jesus actually crucified?

    Hi - I haven't looked at this thread for awhile. If anyone is interested in this subject, I welcome you to read part 3 of this book: P3Ch1 There is no charge. If I were sent money I would promptly send it back. So the author (me) receives zero $. Part 3 is not a long read. Part 3, ch1 is a 1...

    Such an odd picture

    Yes, they are really superb. Also, at the very bottom of part 3, Ch 13 I have added a dozen photos or so taken by Radha Raman Dasa, who besides being born in Vrindavan, is a very talented photographer. As you probably know, these picture are showing the residents of Vrindavan celebrating the...

    Appreciating other religions?

    If you go to Welcome - Ancient Faith Radio and click on the, "play music in pop-up," you can find wonderful Orthodox hymns. Often I will listen in. So I like it that you enjoy this kind of music. As for myself, I simply pray that someday, in some lifetime, I will be a sincere bhakta of...
