    My Re-awakening of Consciousness

    Short comment? Sure! Let me see... Bahá’ís are taught a couple of things regarding Hinduism: #1, Hinduism as a religion is misunderstood, so Bahá’ís are encouraged to pursue a study of it for themselves. #2, Regarding Lord Krishna, they believe that Bahá’u’lláh is the return of Krishna spoken...

    My Re-awakening of Consciousness

    I wouldn’t doubt your experience, @Sirona. Though, the Mahamantra addresses Lord Rama, not Srimati Radharani.

    My Re-awakening of Consciousness

    And this bolstered your faith in the Lord? Mostly, I was a Bahá’í.

    I’ll keep you in my well wishes, dear @Eddi.

    Could it ever become possible to transfer one's consciousness to computer?

    I would like to think such could very well happen in the (perhaps, near) future considering how rapidly we’re making technological advances, but it’s anyone’s guess, methinks.

    My Re-awakening of Consciousness

    It’s been quite some time since I last posted a thread speaking about where I am religiously. I feel compelled to do so. To summarize it briefly, after years away from it, I’ve decided to re-embrace Sanatana Dharma, Hinduism. Specifically, I’m making the decision to re-acquaint myself with...

    Abrahamic Religions: Polygamy- yes or no?

    As a Bahá’í, my faith’s laws are explicit in this matter: only monogamous relationships are permitted for us. As for others, I will not speak.

    Your God is too small

    Hm...I’m in agreement with you. God is, truly, a mysterious Being beyond all human comprehension. He’s like the Universe that way, but immaterial and more personal. So much to know, so much to explore and learn!

    Buddhists, is this true?

    As someone who has explored Pure Land Buddhism briefly, I can say that the belief that Bahá’u’lláh is the Amitabha Buddha is unequivocally false; it is rooted in a harmless misunderstanding. Amitabha is the Buddha-name for a human being who lived long ago by the name of Dhamakara, who had...

    What made you convert?

    Hmmmmm....“convert” I suppose would be an inaccurate term for where my quest has led me now, because while Traditional Stoicism has clearly discernible, if not already visible, religious aspects, it itself is not a religion but an ancient school of Greek philosophy. I was always attracted to...

    Divine Revelation in Hindu Religions versus Abrahamic Religions

    I understand what you mean here, @CG Didymus, and I respect your opinion. Be well, my friend. Oh, and I'll explain my sudden change of understanding in a seperate thread.

    Divine Revelation in Hindu Religions versus Abrahamic Religions

    I see.

    Divine Revelation in Hindu Religions versus Abrahamic Religions

    Hmmmmm....I see your point, Vinayaka.

    Divine Revelation in Hindu Religions versus Abrahamic Religions

    Marcion, I think you sort of slipped in your understanding of the phrase “Spirit of the Age”. This phrase doesn't refer to any particular religion, but rather what human beings understand about the world and where we're headed at any particular point in time.

    Divine Revelation in Hindu Religions versus Abrahamic Religions

    I'm sure you're right, dearest Vinayaka: that is only what we believe. Different people feel differently. I don't feel hurt by it. Because these things are concerns for humanity whether or not the Bahá’í Faith exists. And again, you're right: ideas of unity and non-violence were very much...

    Divine Revelation in Hindu Religions versus Abrahamic Religions

    Truth...........truth. That's the million-dollar word here, my friend. I will say this as a Bahá’í myself: concerning religion, I am quite skeptical in the existence of any objective truth among the various religions. All that we have, all that we will ever know are those things born of the...

    Divine Revelation in Hindu Religions versus Abrahamic Religions

    In my own studies of and experiences with various religions, I've come to recognize that the differences between religions are beautiful. Whether it was through the chanting of Sanskrit mantras, visions of the image of the Amida Buddha, the reading and recitation of the Holy Qur’an, the singing...

    Are You a Convert?

    Yes, I am a convert! I'm a member of the Bahá’í Faith. I was brought up as a devout Christian in childhood. At the same time, I was extremely open-minded. I loved to read, and through this, I gained exposure to all different religions and teachings. I've soaked my mind in the Holy Teachings from...

    Jonzu’s Reflections on Religion

    Q, I edited the post a bit. The nature of truth was going to be my initial topic, but now, it's become “clearing the inner clutter”. :oops::)
