    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    LOL! Smooth dance! What other steps do you know to avoid answer? I will repeat: Please provide a quote/verse from the Vedas/Upnishads (as you know scriptures and Vedas/Upnishads are more important than Puranas, from where I quoted), to uphold your claim that Hinduism upholds evolution...

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    Maybe you know the scriptures. Please provide a quote/verse from the vedas/upnishads confirming that Hindusim supports evolution. In anticipation to your response....."no excuses please!" ;)

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    :facepalm:A theory is a 'rational possibility' that explains the phenomenon. It is not 'concrete fact' explaining a phenomenon. This does not mean that the phenomenon is false.

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    :) Hindu scriptures do not support the theory of evolution. Padma Purana tells exactly how many species there are. jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati krmayo rudra-sankhyakah paksinam dasa-laksanam trimsal-laksani pasavah catur-laksani manusah "There are 900,000 species...

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    A person who at the age of 69 years, traveled halfway across the globe on a 'cargo' ship, with only $20 in his pocket, to fulfill the desire of his Spiritual Master - to give Supreme Personality of Godhead - Kṛṣṇa, to the world. Who left the comforts of his home and the...

    devi gita vs bhagaad gita

    In the ultimate realization, Supreme Lord - Kṛṣṇa is the only male - pursha. All others are female - prakrītī. In fact, Supreme Lord says that He is even superior to purusha (male). Thus, He is known as Purushottama. Purushottam = Purush (male) + Uttam...

    The Dogma of Bhakti: The views of a dissident Hindu

    Religion without philosophy is sentimentalism. Sometimes fanaticism. Philosophy without religion is mental speculation. --- A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swāmi Prabhupāda

    Brahman and the Advaita Vision

    I am in complete agreement with this. You have summarized the whole substance of Vedānta and study of Vedic literature in a very coherent and clear manner. The end objective for everyone is to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead - Kṛṣṇa. Either in this life...

    A question regarding Ishvara!

    By covering, I mean that if nām/rupa can envelope the 'infinite' Brahman, then the 'infinite' Brahman is subordinate to māyā of nām/rupa. To clarify: Brahman has 'infinite' knowledge. This means, even if it transforms into something (like clay into cups, plates etc.)...

    Religion without philosophy is sentimentalism. Sometimes fanaticism. Philosophy without religion is mental speculation.

    Do you need a guru?

    For advancing in spiritual path, most certainly and absolutely a bonafide guru - Spiritual Master is needed. Even for learning anything material like like physics, chemistry, judo, singing etc., we need a teacher. A Guru. A person who is, let us say brilliant, a genius, but has read medicine...

    Brahman and the Advaita Vision

    Great! So let us continue on with our quest to know and understand the ultimate object of knowledge of Vedānta - Supreme Personality of Godhead - Kṛṣṇa. Haribol!

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    Mutual consent is not the criteria for acceptance of something in religion. Neither is something acceptable religiously because it satisfies our senses. Arjuna wanted to give up fighting on compassionate grounds for the opposite party. Compassion and ahimsa, considering both...

    Brahman and the Advaita Vision

    Veda-anta or the end of Vedic wisdom is to know Kṛṣṇa. sarvasya cāhaḿ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaḿ ca vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyo vedānta-kṛd veda-vid eva cāham I am seated...

    Brahman and the Advaita Vision

    That means, like most of us, you may know the doctrine theoretically. Practically will have to follow later. Edit: One is like knowing that sugar tastes sweet. Other is tasting the sugar to realize it's sweetness.
  16. Vrindavana Das

    Brahman and the Advaita Vision

    That is correct. This is the process of 'realizing' Achintya-bhedābheda tattva. Transcendental meditation. In other words, transcending the modes of material nature to achieve spiritual existence - same in quality (sat-chīt-ānanda) and yet different in quantity (one is...

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    A discussion does not happen with a biased opinion my friend. You cannot accept scriptures when it suits you and reject them when it does not. Like I said earlier, if you are given a horse, you cut off itṣ tail, one leg, one ear ... because they do not make sense to you, then what you will...

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    Great! For the record, I will not share any part of the misery that comes your way for irreligious acts like homosexuality etc. You are going ahead at your own risk. ;)

    True principles of Sanatana Dharma

    If you do not want to believe scriptures, but your mind as scriptures, why are you even discussing scriptures? Time pass?
