    Did you like water balloons growing up?

    Oh yes. I threw one on a bike that was passing by when i was young. It hit one of the wheels. My aim was the man riding the bike and not the wheels though. lol. It was holi (festival of colors) that day and everyone would fill their balloons with water colors and throw them at random strangers...

    I guess my approach is different.

    Yeah, the HKs need to work on that. The Shiva devotees and even Advaitins or the Smartas are very respectable towards other schools though. They would hardly discriminate. From what i've read in school is that the brahmins (the preistly hindu class) took excessive pride in themselves few...

    I guess my approach is different.

    Lately while browsing thru some introductory articles on hindu tantra i found out it has many schools / denominations. The ones that peaked my interest are the Shakta tantra schools like Kularnava, Sri vidya and there were two more. I forgot their names. Its the dark stuff associated with these...

    I guess my approach is different.

    I see you have the image of Kali in your avatar. Are you a devotee of the Goddess?

    I guess my approach is different.

    Here's a CGI picture of it. Its not ready yet. Construction work is going on for the past 10 years or so. I'm originally from Kyiv. My parents moved to Mayapur, Bengal in the early 90s when i was a baby. Since then this has been my home. Back then the temple in the picture didn't exist. Only...

    I guess my approach is different.

    Thanks for sharing with us your story. Yeah, like you said, the Hare Krishnas often belittle other hindu sects and swamis. Its the only thing that i don't like about them. Other than that there's nothing wrong with them. They have some of the beautiful temples, especially the one that is under...

    I guess my approach is different.

    It seems like we both have a lot of things in common. I often get angry at God when i see suffering around me and would often blame him for what's happening in our world. But i don't keep a grudge against him for too long. :=)

    I guess my approach is different.

    I've been wanting to say this for quite some time now. Today i decided i would finally share this with y'all. Many of you in the Hindu forum might think of me as a Godless person since i don't worship any dieties. Things like offering incense, flowers, sweets to idols is something that i don't...

    Belief in God will always require ‘some’ faith

    I had a dream of a hindu God once. It was beautiful. :)

    Belief in God will always require ‘some’ faith

    Does God speaking to us in dreams count as evidence of His existence? o_O

    Does both the body and spirit sleep at death?

    I haven't gone through the whole bible but the path i follow says that the spirit is different from the soul. The soul is the psyche/mind which sometimes drifts into dreamless sleep, but the spirit remains awake as a witness.

    The Elisa Lam case

    That's one of the explanations. Yes. Some believe that voices and visions have links to the paranormal. Not sure if that was the case with her. She had a blog too where she posted about her struggles with mental illness. She even posted while she was in that hotel. The Cecil hotel is where many...

    The Elisa Lam case

    Yes a few days before she died she was being followed by some. Who knows who they were. Random crooks trying to rob/rape a girl or someone with a sinister agenda? Guess we'll never know.

    The Elisa Lam case

    @RayofLight Here's the elevator clip. And here's the story of her mysterious death- Yes its possible she could have just seen things that were actually not there. She was suffering from depression and was on medications but what we call hallucination today (and brush it off as mere...

    The Elisa Lam case

    Anyone heard of Elisa Lam, the Chinese-Canadian girl who died in 2013 in the roof top of Cecil hotel? There's an elevator footage of her that went viral back in the day in which she was acting weird. Some speculate that she was communicating with someone or something unseen and that her case...

    Stranger things

    Oh man. I binge watched all the 3 seasons back in 2020. Now after a two year gap i've forgotten some of the things that took place in the last season and since i don't even have netflix i'll try and grab some pirated copies once the whole season comes out. Steve Harrington better not chop off...

    Do you believe in jinn?I am not sure.

    As far as i know, these are non-human (probably demonic entities). Its best not to talk or gossip about them. I read somewhere that they can see us from their realm but we can't see them. Dabbling with dark arts, gossiping or even watching satanic movies might bring evil entities into our lives...

    Have you ever encountered a poltergeist?

    No. I haven't seen objects flying around my house. But i have heard weird noises and whispers.

    Why within? Why not without?

    How does one look within? I mean all i can find within are my thoughts, feelings and memories. If i go beyond that i will hit a blank wall. Is this what Brahman feels like?
