    Does your religion accept homosexuality?

    If i'm not wrong, that's pre-colonial India with carvings of same-sex individuals and even acts of bestiality on the walls of khajuraho temple. I have yet to see modern preists from established sects like that of Vaishnavism, Shaktism and Shaivism giving their approval of same-sex...

    Badarayana and his Brahma Sutra

    Was Badarayana an Advaitin? Was Badarayana's text, Brahma Sutra, non-dualistic in nature? I'm not talking about Shankara's bhasya or commentaries on the brahma sutras that came much later, but the original work of Badarayana that predated Shankara which systematizes and summarizes the...

    Siddhas and their abilities

    Definitely NOT bhakti and karma. Siddhis usually come to those who are practitioners of Kriya yoga/Kundalini yoga, which is a deep state of meditation. When the kundalini power which remains dormant at the base of our spine, is awakened through deep meditation, and when it rises upward...

    Question for ghost hunters.

    It happened to me a few years ago, when i felt my bed shaking slightly, near my foot, as if someone getting on my bed, followed by sleep paralysis and a heavy force on my chest.

    What kind of snacks do you get at the movie theater?

    I like watching movies on my PC. I can always pause it, or go back a few seconds if i fail to understand a part of the film. Sitting in the theater for 90 to 120 minutes gives me neck pain. Also i've had some other unpleasant experiences like people sitting behind me coughing continously that...

    Do you like bubble baths?

    Never had bubble bath. But when i was a kid there was a small sized tub. Used to fill it up with water and loved to spend a few minutes in it. :=)

    Do you like bubble baths?

    So you like to be in vast body of water with turbulent waves like the ocean, where there are dangers of sharks and jelly fishes? o_O

    Samkhya thread

    As far as i know, words like Witness Consciousness or Pure Consciousness is usually used to refer to the Atman. So, if wiki and britannica both says that purusha is WC or PC, then the samkhyaans while using the term 'Purusha' are probably referring to the Atman. To the dualists Atman the WC...

    And does God's spirit intervene and interact with people. Also can it move from one location to another?

    If God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost are a trinity.Who is more powerful?

    I've never really understood what this holy ghost is? Can someone explain? Is it omniscient and omnipotent just like the Father?

    Is astral projection and lucid dreaming the next step in spiritual evolution?

    Umm i found it while doing a google image search. I'm a student of Hindu monism (Advaita Vedanta). Its founder was a sage named Shankara who lived probably in the 8th century AD. and wrote many commentaries on the Hindu scriptures. The quote in my signature is from him too. The hindus believe...

    The Mistake You Keep Making

    I overdo things. I know its not necessary but i can't stop it. It not only makes me exhausted but i also don't get the desired result that i try to achieve. :(

    Is astral projection and lucid dreaming the next step in spiritual evolution?

    These experiences, along with other strange things that happen to us, certainly compels us to know more about them. The more we know, the more we become familiar with our true nature as spirit beings and also with the unseen spirit world that operates beyond our range of vision. I mean we all...
