    What motivates you to pray?

    I pray because I do feel a sense of closeness and energy when I do. It's kind of indescribable but it's like that feeling when someone gives you a big warm hug after being out in the rain for an hour; it's just...relieving. To think that even if you are all alone you really aren't, there's...

    Advice

    Yes, surprisingly :D Hanuman has a special place in my heart because of that. At a young age I was really intrigued with the idea of a monkey god.

    Advice

    True, luckily I live near Philadelphia so if I find that my local temple isn't working out I can always visit some in the city. Of course it'll be farther away but that way I can experience other schools of Hinduism and find a community of people who have roughly the same beliefs as me.

    Advice

    Yes my upbringing was very nice; I like to say it was kind of like a Dharma soup with bits of Hinduism and Buddhism with a little peppering of Christianity (mainly just the stories -- Cain and Abel, Noah's Arc, ect.) Ah I have the Upanishads coming in the mail soon. I've heard really good...

    Advice

    Siddhartha was really a lovely book -- I'll need to read more of Hesse's stuff. Thank you for the good wishes, I'll try to get to the temple sometime soon.

    Advice

    Surprisingly there is! Though I'm not sure what the state of affairs is at the moment, I've emailed them and apparently the head of staff resigned and went back to India. They gave me a phone number to contact but I'm not quite sure what to say when/if I call let alone who I'll be talking to...

    Advice

    Hello, I've been debating whether or not to post in here for the past few days and I saw illykitty post a thread so I figured I should probably just man up and make a thread. A little backstory first, I've dabbled with Dharmic religions my whole life practically. Buddhism and Hinduism were...

    Would you lie for your religion?

    Never. I see no need to proselytize; if it's the path for them they'll come on their own accord. Not to mention I absolutely despise lies.

    Why Are You Always Right?

    Because Wright is my middle name; and that's really close to right. So therefore I can't be wrong.

    That is relaxing to know. My plan so far is to just basically see where Krishna takes me. I have full trust that through him I will find a path that works for me.

    I think that is possible. The only thing that I dislike thus far is the literal interpretation of scripture and the diety; I don't think I could viably pull of a vegan diet at this time. Beefless? Yes but vegan/vegetarian might be tough.

    I keep having dreams about Byzantine Christianity.

    I think it's understandable to have a dream like that; Eastern Churches and their practices are stunningly beautiful. Everytime I enter one I always think "Hmm Orthodoxy sounds nice..." but then I look at the facts and realize that I'm just enchanted by the exterior. I think it's OK to have...

    why do we pray

    This. Praying also puts us in a certain kind of mood that I feel is very beneficial. I can't speak for everyone but after prayer I always feel kind of at peace; for me it's a good way to start the day. Not to mention if you pray for something to happen you're already putting the intention to...
