    Service Jobs

    I worked at a certain big box retail store with a red color scheme for about 4 years and I think it has affected me in 3 big ways. 1.) I try to be as nice as possible when I go to a restaurant or a store. You never know exactly what the worker had to deal with that day. 2.) It was a great...

    European travel suggestions: Northern, Central, or Mediterranean?

    In 2 years (God willing) when I graduate from grad school, I'm planning a kind of "congrats-on-actually-completing-8 years-of-post secondary-education" gift for myself. Two years is still quite a ways away, and it would take a lot of saving, but I would like to spend a couple of weeks in Europe...

    Who wrote Vedanta Sutra?

    I guess we're back to Hinduism again?

    Which Religion Would You Go Clubbing With?

    With the Judaism people, of course. Jews know how to throw a party. :D

    Sex and Marriage in Vaisnava Dharma

    As a gay initiate into the Gayatri mantra, I would like to give my two cents. You're right, this is a rather controversial topic, and I'm coming from a non-Gaudiya perspective. What I have been taught is that, even among initiates and Brahmins, engaging in the material is a natural part of...

    Lady Gaga????????????

    She technically has a good singing voice, and I enjoy quite a number of her songs, but I'm no where near as big of a fan as I once was. Baby Starry really liked her in late high school/early college, but looking back on it, a lot of her outfits and stunts scream "trying too hard". Still, like I...

    Sex and Marriage in Vaisnava Dharma

    As you know, Hinduism is so diverse that you'll get a ton of different answers. However, I suppose the "official" stance is that it's preferable/ideal to wait until marriage. One of my "vices" is that my partner and I are physically intimate, but we're not married. I might be falling short of...

    Thanks. After all, I'm a terrible crypto-Shakta. ;)

    Finding the right path - Hinduism/Buddhism

    Welcome to the forum @Tom Ciocco . Straight and to the point, aside from taking some of the philosophical teachings of Buddha, there really isn't any "halfway point" between Buddhism and Hinduism. One could mix some of the teachings together, but that goes into syncreticism territory (nothing...

    Yep. I was skeptical about it at first (I'm not the biggest fan of most new anime), but it's pretty good.

    Daily darshan

    Lord Narasimha with Prahlada. Even if my primary devotion has gone to Sri Devi, I can never really let go of Him.

    Hwagyesa Temple in Seoul.

    Pretty much. I think it means something along the lines of "The temple in the valley." Could be wrong, though.

    Hwagyesa Temple in Seoul.

    I hope so too. :)

    Hwagyesa Temple in Seoul.

    Lack of donations and funds, from what I gathered. The priest and deities went back to India sometime in June.

    Hwagyesa Temple in Seoul.

    During my 4 month student exchange, I am the only non-Christian student (and probably will be for the duration of my stay). When I arrived, I thought my place of worship would be the local Hare Krishna temple, but it actually closed down a couple of months before I got here. I knew of the...

    I think these are some of the Ashta Lakshmi from the temple in Chennai, but I'm not too sure.
