    If You Knew There Were No Gods, Would You Still Follow Your Religion?

    Namaste In Sanatana Dharma God is synonomous with the eternal truth , so I am not sure that god can be disprooved ? So I cant realy answer, even the DemiGods are expansions of The one God, and as we are expansions of God ourselves, I dont see that you can remove God ? If you remove God you...

    Srimad Bhagavatam

    Namaste Prabhu Ji Excuse me please and forgive me if I am wrong, but Namaste comes from Namaskar; to pay ones humble respects, and the more formal address Namaskaram.

    Advaita beyond Idol worshiping

    Hare Krishna Prabhu ji This is very much more about how one devotee sees another, than it is about how or what we worship, let this be a warning to those who treat a lower cast person as an outcaste. And how can one with such an on clean mind worship with the right motivation ? He canot...
