    The Quantum Christ: Atom vs. Godhead (Holy Trinity)

    I glanced this over. I cannot say I am found of you referring to Lord Shiva as a "Beast", but like your thinking. I am the of the knowledge that the world has many secrets, if you are willing to work. A lot of this works good as a metaphor.

    Here is a thought. Why is Satan allowed to Exist?

    For all people who have Satan in their religion, or a Satan-figure, like the Demiurge . *Satanists don't need to apply for what will be obvious reasons, but if they have a Demiurge, this applies* Why is he allowed to exist and have free reign? In Hinduism (when they aren't standing in purely...

    Online petition to have Subramanian Swamy and Rajiv Malhotra at Oxford

    Pakistan has nukes. Iran doesn't It is good then that India has them as a counterbalance.

    Online petition to have Subramanian Swamy and Rajiv Malhotra at Oxford

    Well, Aupmanyav, it is kind of like this, for the former, anyway. Both religions are similar in the way of how Martyrdom works. Both religions respect and honor their martyrs, and not in the diseased way terrorists do. Sikhs "celebrate" (It's more of a remembrance of morning, really) Ashura...

    Online petition to have Subramanian Swamy and Rajiv Malhotra at Oxford

    I admire the Shia. They and the Sikhs have more then a superficial brotherhood. It is a shame that we chose Saudi Arabia over Iran.

    Scientology a CULT?

    People have died. They drain money out of you and will destroy you if you cross them. It's not what they believe but what they *do* Cult should not mean "Religion I dislike" Cult should mean "Actively malevolent" Very few religions have started on a bet...

    Online petition to have Subramanian Swamy and Rajiv Malhotra at Oxford

    Truly letting Pakistan break off was the worst thing to happen to India. I doubt it would have been this ugly if it happened like this. To stop the risk of this derailing any more then I made it... would it be crazy for India to court Iran? Iran is not a democratic state, but India and Iran...

    Haf and the United Nations

    I cannot tell you the joy I had when I came out to my priest and he told me that doesn't matter to god..... I actually cried. I am glad I am in a religion where I am not judged on that.

    Temple Visits

    Ooh, I love that website! Ramakrishna needs no introduction to his beautiful self, but Vamaksepa inspires me. If he, the utterly mad, can find perfect acceptance from Mother Tara, that ocean of mercy, it gives me great hope for me too as long as I never let go.

    Rape in the Brhadaaranyaka Upanishad

    Well yes. The thing about Hinduism is that it is doctrine that bad scripture is to be rejected and not merely common sense that says so :cool:

    Sri Krishna and Devi (Durga incarnation)

    To me, even more so then my Teacher who tends to play this down, Lord Shiva is the lesser but still vital half to Mother Kali. Lord Shiva is consciousness and Mother Kali is energy. Shiva without Shakti is shava, a corpse. It is from my understanding that this is the Shaiva view too, but Shiva...

    Online petition to have Subramanian Swamy and Rajiv Malhotra at Oxford

    Hey ShivaFan, would you say the Naxalites and their ilk are more dangerous to India then the Wahhabist terrorists? How much of Indian Atheism is tied up with Communism?

    Regarding Upanishads

    That sounds perfectly in line with the Teachings on the Goddess that I have read.

    Rape in the Brhadaaranyaka Upanishad

    As for the rape comment, my teacher firmly planted in my mind that any teaching that seems abhorrent can be rejected. If there is no deeper meaning I am missing, I can free to say it is not "valid". The Kalika Purana has a verse on human sacrifice. No way on earth I am going to take that as...

    I would like some help with finding an english translation for these bhajans

    I cannot recommend that book as much as it deserves. Richly Translated, full of spirit. They are candles for dark times and that is one of my favorites.

    I would like some help with finding an english translation for these bhajans

    I see Mother Kali as Devi Herself, but I do not differentiate between Mother Durga and Mother Kali. In a Tantric text, Lord Shiva said that to differentiate between Mother Kali and Mother Tara is to risk Hell. I read that to mean "My Mother has Kali for her Ishta Devi form, but all goddesses...

    I would like some help with finding an english translation for these bhajans

    I have prayed that so many times......But in English. That is one of the most beautiful parts of the book. I no longer wonder why They left me in tears. Thank you, friend. Thank you for your kindness...
