    North Korea's Military Might

    Yes, China has defended North Korea in the past. This relationship seems to be cracking from the view of outsiders looking in.

    Self-realization/Enlightenment question.

    I disagree with the interpretation on this verses. Verses 325-326 talks about folks who identify with the object universe. Beginning of 327 says there is nothing worse for a knower of Brahman. The next few verses go onto talk about people who practice concentration who deviate from there...

    I really need help with no fap (serious)

    My thoughts on sex and fapping. First of all Sex is not wrong or dirty. In the West do to Christian influences we tend to misinterpret Yogi's and Buddhist Monks. They renounce sex not because it is bad but because they want something different out of life, Thats all. Sex addiction is a...

    North Korea's Military Might

    Because it would be very easy for North Korea to destroy Seoul which is 31 miles from the boarder. Even without a nuclear weapon North Korea has lots of artillery that could lob biological and chemical shells into one of the most important cities in the world. There is just no way for the US...

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    From what I understand one of Swami Vivekananda disciples became a Vaishnava Swami in the 1890s. It was Swami Vivekananda who first brought Vaishnava Ideas to America. It is said that a good number of his first western followers preferred Vishishtadvaita to Advaita.

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    I agree it is a mixed bag. Even his making "Hinduism popular" in the 1960s had a huge down side. The common man on the street might have not had an idea what Hinduism is all about. The Intelligencia did and had great respect for it. In fact the first half of the 20th century it had a huge impact...

    The UK's Greatest Prime Minister died this morning.

    Every single American president deserves credit. Reagan just happened to be their when it happened. The Soviet Unions economy started to fall apart well before Reagan. Keeping up I have seen no evidence of that. The fact is that the CIA for years could not recognize that the Soviet Union was...

    Bad Hindu :(

    Many vaisanavas also see Tulsidas Ramayan as scripture. He is seen by many as a great vaisanava saint.

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    I am sorry I have to go with the Catholic and Orthodox art. The stuff your are showing I see as sentimental like a hallmark card. The Catholic and Orthodox art has a depth of meaning that you could take a life time to study.

    I am a religiously confused, anxiety-ridden tenth grader

    I think it is a good sign that you are looking around to find your truth. About not fitting in. As Krishnamurti said “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

    About Killing the Polytheists/Infidels

    Are you calling for the murder of all those who you see as polytheists? Since I don't read Arabic I would like to hear other muslims comment on the first site. It just could be a disagreeable translation. You also have to understand to many Christians, Christ came to bring a new covenant that...

    Vinayakî

    Some of the hymns of the Vedas show that the supreme Lord is female. Rgvsdoktam Devi Suktam and the Vedoktam ratri Suktam are just two examples. The Devi Bhagavata Purana contains teachings that show Devi as supreme. Vedas just like latter Hindu texts have very different teachings. My view that...

    Vinayakî

    From my understanding there is an upapurana called the Devi Purana that talks about Gananayika who seems to be also called Vinayaki as the shakti of Ganesha. There are so many Tantric Goddesses all called by many different names. Even if they are not talked about in the puranas they could be in...

    Caring for Shri Yantra

    There are different traditions that worship the Sri Yantra. I was trained to worship a different Yantra. It is just a much more simple and easy to do a complete worship. I don't think that is your question. A complete worship. In this type of worship each line and space has a meaning and a...
