    Temple Visits

    I would be curious to this formation too, if that is alright to ask.

    Dharmic Story Time!

    There was a man in India. The closest town was blocked off by a mountain. His wife tried crossing that mountain and was injured doing so. So he vowed to cut a road into it. So he did. They told him it was impossible. It took him a hammer, a chisel, and 22 years to prove them wrong. Now, my...

    The number of Ex C's on this website. Are you one?

    I used to be Christian, generic, hell fearing. I was balancing between Gnosticism, Daoism and Sufism in a battle for my soul before I became the Hindu that I was today.

    Need to interview a practicing Hindu

    What do you want others to know about your religion? That Hinduism is a living, vibrant religion and is focused on ethics and ones relationship with god, and/or the divine. It has many paths, but one goal. What are some of your religious traditions/rituals which your family follows? I am a...

    God Is Pain

    Darkness and Light are not opposing. Kali is a fearsome, terrible deity....who is a devoted, caring mother. No Hindu would say this is a contradiction. Balance, wisdom, temperance. No human ever became enlightened while being at a perfect state beforehand. It takes more then a little grace...

    God Is Pain

    But seriously. Pain is a physical sensitization. Pain is the emptiness of the heart. Pain is the loss of a loved one. Pain.....is clinging. One may not be able to control what one FEELS, but one may master the REACTION. This is how Buddhist Monks can light themselves on fire in the name of...

    Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

    The Hindu forum is really nice. It is a shame I was gone so long. People should enjoy defending what they do. Being in the grace of better debaters makes you stronger. Education is great. I love learning about Religion, among the other humanities.

    Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

    I mean, I might disagree with Atheism, but I value ethical behavior in people more then ideological conformity. If somebody insults my religion, RE spreading a blatant falsehoods, I feel the need to defend it, but "I don't believe in your religion, and I even have reasons why" is not something I...

    Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

    Good lord. Is it always this bloodthirsty on debate?

    Shakta Discussion

    Saint Ramakrishna, bless his heart, loved all the worlds religions. He was a Christian, then a Muslim. He was even an Atheist Adventa for a period. I have strange tastes and sympathizes in the world religions too. Having an open mind is good. I cannot and will not judge you for that. Mother...

    God Is Pain

    Do you want to talk about this? Is something wrong in your life?

    Shakta Discussion

    Dear SomeRandom; at the risk of maybe alienating you or some others, I would really have to strongly suggest you not leave Mother's side. I cannot tell you in a good mind "you must stay Hindu" but that having faith in mother unlocks all the doors. I feel my bhakti is my only virtue, and...

    Meat eaters and Shiva

    That was an interesting read. So many people see Left Hand Tantra and say "Oh, goodies for me!" :rolleyes:The point of Left hand Tantra is to use what is binding to free yourself and unless you have a very special mindset it will end up destroying you. It is a path best left alone unless you...

    I respect you a lot, Vinayaka. I never want to ever assume anything about you or what you believe. I would never hope to offend you or anyone here. I have grown to love this place, and I would never impose my belief on anyone.

    IHRF: Encyclopedia information

    Honestly, if this is ever sold as a legitimate download or CD/DVD I would honestly buy it. I do not have the money for that kind of an investment.

    Meat eaters and Shiva

    Vinayaka, if I am mistaken, may I ask for a correction? If it is not true, then why is it said? This is not a hostile line of questioning. I am honestly curious.

    The fierceness, dear Aupmanyav, is not superficial, but it s not the whole or even the main. Mother Kali is 'scary', because she has to be. Who else will protect us from evil so unrelentingly? The greatest doom of man is fear, especially the fear of Death. Fearing Death causes you to deny it...

    Meat eaters and Shiva

    Is it unfair to say that "The Vedics did this, so the Hindus should too" is like "The Jews did this, so should the Christians as well" The age of the Vedas, the age of the Upanishads, the age of Puranas, the age of Tantras and the modern age of Bhakti...are all very different stages and very...

    A like, friend, is to show I support something, that may or may not have more to say then "This is nice". It is less cluttering then to say that every time! XD I think the trophy point game is a bit silly, but I like your style. Defending the Dharma with a smile like you and ratikala do is a...
