Never knew that fasting helps in anti-ageing. Will look more into it. I try to fast once or twice a week. In my case, it has nothing to do with religion or spirituality. Its just that i feel more physically active and energetic when i skip the lunch. I also concentrate better in my studies when...
Did you stumble upon anything funny today on the internet? If so, please do share.
Well, i found this today. It sure made me laugh. A guy speaking on Advaita Vedanta. (Those who are familiar with this school of thought will find it entertaining).
Well there are a few rituals, fire sacrifices and hymns in the text called Vedas. Not sure if there are any magic spells in there.
There are certain groups called 'Tantriks' who practice black magic. They are either followers of Tantra or worshippers of Goddess Kali. Although such evil...
Have you ever tried Hummus? I would like to try it someday. :)
Synthpops and Synthwaves usually transport me to the 80s, where i'm driving a Testarossa thru the highway at night and my Mullet hair blowing in the wind. No cramps but only eargasms. ;)

If in Advaita the ultimate reality is infinite, formless, substratum on which all forms appear, then is it right to assume that it is Nirguna Brahman (with its power...
And does this appearance of Saguna Brahman manifest and unmanifest on the infinite background before and after the vyavahairika creation? ... like how both jivas & jagat, manifest and unmanifest in the vyavaharika reality? ... or does Saguna Brahman always remain manifested, even when the jivas...
Well, there was a time when i used to keep long beard with no moustache (coz i thought it was cool. Also it helped me feel religious at the same time) but people around me used to assume i'm a muslim. Some of them even said that i should shave it off because to them muslims are all terrorists...
It seems to me those 3 are Vedic deities. And not the puranic or modern deities that hindus worship today. Honestly, I don't know much about them. I'm more interested in the impersonal Brahman.
