    Who is the greatest US president of the 20th & 21st centuries?

    America not excepting the League of nations must have broke his heart. Just think if Wilson had his way. WWII might never of happened.

    Mixing religion and politics in the US

    Also, many native American Groups that were here first were ok with Gays.

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    I believe that you are correct. There are no female groups of monks walking around India. I believe because of what would happen to the swamini's. In Vedic times there were swaminis. The storys of both Gargi Vachaknavi and Maitreyi are proof of this.

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    This is very true. Mixing men and woman Swami's would cause many to break there vow.

    Good point about Eisenhower.

    wiccans using hindu gods

    Yes, very much so, but just for your info most Hindu's who are educated in there scriptures they are either Monotheistic or Monist. There are feelings, visions and merging into the Divine. For some of those who really desire God above all, there is a state of consciousness that is called...

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    Bhagavan Ramakrishna did not give sanyas to anyone men or woman. He gave a few followers, an Ochre cloth, they took there vows later with Swami Vivekananda (in 1886). The Woman disciple/saint Gauri Ma also renounced the world and put on Ochre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauri_Ma It was...

    Who is the greatest US president of the 20th & 21st centuries?

    To me he was the first progressive. He was also a War hero and a real man. His sneaking of with John Muir as president is also a great story. But, all things said to bad he was a colonialist.

    Who is the greatest US president of the 20th & 21st centuries?

    I would agree that he was a good Man. It turns out that Carter was good for the economy. He put in Volcker ( Chairman of Federal Reserve board) who is credited with ending the United States stagflation crisis of the 1970s. Inflation, peaked at 13.5% in the year 1981, and was lowered to 3.2% in...

    Who is the greatest US president of the 20th & 21st centuries?

    Sorry but he could have done worse. He could have started a war. It is also important to remmember that Iran had a socialist democracy that American's help over though and place the Shah in power. Carter did not create this problem it just expolded on his watch. He did much better in the...

    Who is the greatest US president of the 20th & 21st centuries?

    Sorry but he was a terriost. He trained people to commit Genocide in central America. Let Drug Lords sell drugs in America as long as they Hated Communists. The support, training, and funding of the killing peaceful woman and children in farming coops. These facts make him a monster by any...

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    Not all Swami's except sexism. Many of the Shakta faiths has had woman Guru's for as long as we can look back in History. This is supported by the Tantric scriptures. The Ramakrishna order in the first 1/2 of the 20th century gave their woman Swami's their own order with their own leadership...

    Tantra and Hinduism

    For me Tantra is my method to realize Vedanta.

    Kalki

    The information I get about the Yugas in general. I find of no importance in my daily life. Other then just a description of the nature of our planet at this time. When I was leaving temple tonight a friend said. Well, back to the Kali Yuga. Other then that I really don't see a practical use for...

    Kalki

    In Hinduism the universe cycles. Kalki is the Mythological figure who will end this cycle and start the next. He is seen as a Avatara (means descent) of Vishnu and refers to a descent of the divine into mundane form. This is the time of darkness Kalki will bring us to a time of light. This next...

    Have You Ever Met Anyone Who Has Attained Nirvana? Is it Even Possible?

    I for one am very skeptical of those people. Many seem like Hindu and Buddhist Televangelists. I went to two of these folks. I came a way with many doubts. But the ultimate truth in this area is... Even if they were, it does me no good I need a teacher who is up close. Who I can see day in and...

    Have You Ever Met Anyone Who Has Attained Nirvana? Is it Even Possible?

    I think I know 3 One being my teacher. She is an old Indian Lady. At a young age she went for years to live by herself in the jungles of Assam. I have been around her for many years now. She is always full of love. Never shows off. Never acts in a selfish way. Sometimes I feel like in her...

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    I don't think of the Mayans, Inca, or Aztecs as outdoor worshipers. They built huge Places to worship. (IE Mayan Pyramids) Many Pagans were extremely peaceful. You act as if all Pagans are just one group. It is also important to remember that there were probably 22 million people in central...
