    I am back, it has been a long time!

    Hello friends, I am back! :infodeskperson: There are MANY familiar names still here, I would name then and recognize the beautiful souls, but I fear I would miss some on accident and potentially cause insult. It is also OK if some of you don't remember me :p. My search for God started out...

    Has anyone ever conquered their phobia?

    Yah, I get the spider thing. It's very different from the real phobia I have, but I'm definitely unreasonable with it. A few weeks ago there was a spider in the living room on the ceiling, I stayed up an extra 40 minutes to make sure I kept my eye on it for my husband to take care of when he...

    Changed religion so many times, reluctant to label myself..

    Thanks, for pointing out the last bit especially, a big confusion is over the language and the religion. Terms are funny, that reminds me of when I see the old school term, Mohammedan. :shivers: They're not Mohammedan, they are Muslims! lol

    Thanks for explaining this, मैत्रावरुणि-ji in a way that was clear. Lastly, something I neglected to tackle in the intial post, Dyna. If you read the entire post, you would understand that IMHO, there are a few pathways to...

    Changed religion so many times, reluctant to label myself..

    What made it apparent that Hinduism is only for India? What county is Buddhism only for, Im interested. Or Judaism? im afraid to think jews all over the world might be rather upset to learn that they are not rightfully jews or sikhs or christians if they arent in they arent native to the right...

    Materialism in puja

    I agree, give what you have as others have said. It's not even so much give as it is offer, meaning what you have you offer first to the Lord. For some it's a leaf, water or fruit they may offer up, for others light or a mental image of what they would offer up if they had something. If you...

    Changed religion so many times, reluctant to label myself..

    I didn't respond to the scriptural quotes because every religious text will say that it is the right path or the best, which one do you rely on? The one which came first? In the BG, Krishna states all come through Him, even if you call Him other names, it is all the same. Jesus, also states...

    Changed religion so many times, reluctant to label myself..

    Hi Dynavert, Thanks for your comments. I appreciate your words, I know they come from love. Read about hinduism, most Hindus can tell you themselves, God is one, His names are many. And yes, religion changes with time, I don't see Islam being a religion uncorrupted with time or culture. I...

    Can one radiate or exude "Hindu-ness"?

    Assuming a few things line up for work on some projects I have going on, I want to take the day off and go into San Francisco for this. :shout :o .. I always secretly wanted a mauli thread. Where do you buy the red thread itself? The temple has a small store, would they have it there...

    Has anyone ever conquered their phobia?

    It's so odd the shape phobia can take, I'm sure people read mine and cannot understand for the life of them how my phobia could be so odd, even more how both my MOM and my SISTER could have this phobia too! it's super freakn odd.. What for one person is nothing, for another is just h*ll...

    does hinduism accept christ as a prophet/god

    I'm sure this was answered... All I will add is that the relationship to Jesus that many of those raised in Christian homes who know embrace SD... May be similar to say, a Hindu whose parents or parent had a different guru than your own. Your parent, regardless of your religion, is your first...
