    How to say 'No'?

    Many here on this thread said, that even Advaitins worship personal gods and yes, i'm aware of that, but the idea of worshipping a separate entity is not really my thing. To me, one remains totally on the mercy of this higher entity. And this 'dependency' is something that i really don't like...

    I am tired of discussion

    I have a bunch of them. :=) Probably more than 50. If i had to choose one, then I'll go with the Aliens series. Starring Sigourney Weaver. The first one came out in 1979, along with three sequels. Minus the third part, i liked all of em.

    Glad you found a way to deal with that son of a b**** called anxiety. lol When i used to have anxiety attacks few years ago, i used to watch a lot of movies (another form of art). ;)

    Did Ramana Maharshi teach about Brahman and Maya?

    So are you saying Atman is devoid of bliss and that bliss is only the intrinsic quality of anandamaya sheath?? ... And that whoever experiences this blissfull anandamaya sheath in meditation experiences bliss (moksha)?? ... And that one can never actually experience Atman, but one can always...

    Did Ramana Maharshi teach about Brahman and Maya?

    If you check my original post where i said prajna is samsari(worldly) and turiya is eternally liberated, well, those weren't actually my words. Those were the words of an Advaitin guru and i simply quoted him from his website. But his statements does make sense to me. If you (like me) believe...

    Atman (of Advaita) vs Anatta (of Buddhism)

    What is the definition of soul in Buddhism? In Advaita, the soul is the mind that travels from one body to another. Do Buddhists really believe in a permanent soul? I thought they considered everything impermanent. o_O

    Atman (of Advaita) vs Anatta (of Buddhism)

    So, this transient consciousness which the Buddhists speak of, is it a product of the human mind? (just like how modern science says)?

    The Pagan, Buddhist, and Hindu Thread

    @Jainarayan @Aupmanyav Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't the vishisht-advaitins believe that the totality of all existence or the underlying reality, is the physical body of personal-god Narayana? ... That we jivas (individual beings) dwell within the physical body of Narayana ... That each...
  12. The Crimson Universe

    Atman (of Advaita) vs Anatta (of Buddhism)

    What do the Buddhists really mean by "Anatta" or "non-self"? When the buddhists say "non-self", are they actually speaking about the non-existence (illusory nature) of the ego driven false-self ... (which the Advaitins usually call "Jiva" or "Causal-Subtle body")? That is the assumption of...

    Did Ramana Maharshi teach about Brahman and Maya?

    @Martin ... Also you can check out this video of Jason where he speaks about the basics of Advaita ... and also about Ramana Maharshi (whether after enlightenment Ramana's mind was really destroyed or not). Do watch the full video. Jason is originally from Australia who spent more than 10...

    Did Ramana Maharshi teach about Brahman and Maya?

    As far as i know, Prajna is NOT Nirguna Brahman. You were correct when you said, Prajna is deep sleep. In Advaita, the deep sleep state is equated with the subconscious AKA causal body AKA ananda-maya sheath. In this sheath, all things acquired in the past (dispositions, desires etc.) remain...

    Is this true?About the occult?

    I watched a movie long ago. Its not based on true events or anything, probably just fiction. Anyway, so there was this witch who lived in some remote part of the forest and was malevolent. Her true appearance was ghastly, non-human, but she could turn herself into a beautiful lady or animal...

    Is this true?About the occult?

    Ok i guess i was wrong. :oops: Sorry about that. Just looked up on google and found that all witches or wiccans aren't evil. Some revere nature and use magic to help people as well.

    Is this true?About the occult?

    There are good occult practices like deep meditation that opens up your chakras and gives you psychic powers like clairvoyance, levitation, astral projection etc. Then there are evil occult practices like witchcraft etc. to harm others.
