  1. The Crimson Universe

    And yet another Gaudiya Vaishnava group ...

    Vinayaka was referring mostly to the evil present in bhuloka (religious groups fighting for supremacy instead of treating others with love and respect). The demons or asuras you spoke of (as far as i know) are inhabitants of the 7 lower worlds and are not part of devaloka but yes, they are...

    And yet another Gaudiya Vaishnava group ...

    That is so true. Even though they have made the bhakti movement popular, they still need to work on those areas you mentioned above.

    Hindu Tantra

    It's going to be a fine addition to my collection. Thanks. :=)

    Hindu Tantra

    Are there any sub-schools of left-handed "kaula shakta" tantra in Hinduism? Also, which school follows the Kularnava text? I couldn't find any info on the internet.

    Happy Birthday The Crimson Universe!!

    Thanks guys. :)
  6. The Crimson Universe

    Is there any such verse in Gita?

    Can you please quote the Biblical verse here that says that. Thank you. :=)
  7. The Crimson Universe

    Is there any such verse in Gita?

    ... that says something like "be in this world but not of this world"? Or ..."one should live like a householder on the outside, but should renounce the world on the inside (i.e. renunciation should happen in the heart even while operating in this world like a family man)?

    What's Annakoot? o_O
  9. The Crimson Universe

    Did you know whole towns can be haunted?

    ... or the whole universe. Even aliens in every corner of the universe that die a tragic death probably end up as ghosts. lol. Who knows.

    How much have you changed

    I haven't changed much. I'm still a kid at heart even at the age of 33. The only thing that changed in me is that I have learned not to react to people judging me in real life. All thanks to the RF members who helped me in my spiritual growth.
  11. The Crimson Universe

    I guess my approach is different.

    I just like to keep an open mind, that's all. :=)
  12. The Crimson Universe

    Anything...

    I would like to go on a trip to venus and meet the nordic type human aliens. :p
  13. The Crimson Universe

    I guess my approach is different.

    I doubt that its a work of fiction. The author in his book has mentioned that this information was taken from Tibetan manuscripts which were (and probably still today) are stored in one of their monasteries. Swami Abhedananda, the disciple of Ramakrishna visited one of these monasteries...

    Live Telecast of Durga Puja from Belur Math Kolkata

    I wanted to visit the big durga pujas in Calcutta this year, but couldn't do so due to some health issues. :(

    So-called 'Brahman' that has no gunas, is that even possible?

    It seemed to me you were implying those things in red, even though you didn't explicitly say it in your comment. Sorry about that. Is jiva and paramatma the same according to your beliefs?
  16. The Crimson Universe

    So-called 'Brahman' that has no gunas, is that even possible?

    Removing the sense of doership or the egoic me-ness (as advised by Krishna in the Gita) will probably help us break free from the shackles of karma but won't stop all the activities from taking place in this world. At the universal level, it is saguna Ishwara, granting boons, performing...

    So-called 'Brahman' that has no gunas, is that even possible?

    @shivsomashekhar I would love to know your non-dualistic opinion as well. Do you (like ameyAtmA) also think that Brahman's swabhava/maya/prakriti is the doer and not Brahman itself? Since most of your posts sticks to the traditional Advaita, I would love to know why according to Shankara...

    Reincarnation

    In the Gita, the Lord himself speaks of the "dehi" (jiva) that sheds its physical garment and puts on a new one. It travels and carries all the mental imprints to the next life, just like the fragrance of a flower travels. Krishna says, that those who are tamasic are reborn into mudha yonisu...

    So-called 'Brahman' that has no gunas, is that even possible?

    So, Brahman is not the doer and yet its nature/swabhava IS? Its like saying the sun is not giving us light or heat ... and only its rays are.
  20. The Crimson Universe

    So-called 'Brahman' that has no gunas, is that even possible?

    If IT has no desire then why does IT need to "experience" this finite illusory reality, in the name of leela?
