    does hinduism accept christ as a prophet/god

    Jesus does not have to be relevant to Hinduism or to you for you to see that he was sent a historical prophet and teacher. I am not saying that they should take the time to, but he was sent here with a message that he did deliver for the people of his time. In a historical way regardless of...

    Well, if you asked Mahatma Gandhi.. Most interesting statement, I'm sure controversial. He also says... I'm completely the wrong person to answer this question.. Currently, more important than rituals to me (most likely because I don't know any!) are ahimsa, compassion and...

    I am back

    Namaste, I never thought of that, but it's a good idea...another reason I would love a temple near by. How does one perform a shuddhikarana, friend? Where was I? In a vulnerable place without answers. Maybe others here have experience uncertainty in life, fear and vulnerability. There is a...

    Islamabad Girls Forced To Unveil

    When wearing hijab in an airport in Kenya a woman asked me once to remove my hijab (my face was not covered, hijab is NOT an unsual sight by any means) to show my identity.
