    Would you like to contribute to a text about how Hinduism views Jesus (and perhaps others)?

    praNAm, Yeah, and the quetzalcoatl is the foundation for all that exists, LOL. oM namo quetzalcoatlAya... Ooh, I can already feel the vairAgyam coming, hehe. Clash? Meh, I'm a vedAntI and I don't even care about Gnosticism or gnostic belief, so how can I clash with something I'm ambivalent to...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    You're joking, right? When the Jews did not accept his divinity, he referred to them as the children of the devil, just like what many present day Evangelicals (like Pat Robertson, for instance) say of non-Christians. The Roman Catholic church, or at least the early one, is supposed to have been...

    Experiencing Shiva

    Haha, that made me laugh. Frubals coming your way. I hate when people think that garuDa is shrIviShNu's vAhanam rather than Adi sheSha, don't you know the story of chirupuliyur? Just joking. Anyway, here's a nice bhajan: 3xjCjfDOw_U

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    I agree, although one could say that he does desire premabhakti.

    Researching Ahmadiyyat

    I was saying that if someone falsely blames you for something, let me know. I apologize though, I should not have so hastily assumed that you knew urdu (the way you were writing made it seem like you were a native urdu speaker; for example, mazhab would sound more like maddhab in Arabic). BTW...

    Ganja denied.

    [B][COLOR="DarkOrange"][I] I thought I responded to this before? (although I agree that smoking ga~njA doesn't lead to spiritual awareness, that's just nonsense):

    Intoxicated sports fans driving cars

    Wow, I clicked on the thread but didn't expect to read this. Don't worry though, I'll definitely make sure to pray for her recovery. Its unfortunate that such events happen even when one isn't really at fault.

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Yes, indeed: ITRANS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It's important for pronunciation reasons, for example, in English, the "a" in "about" and in "car" is spelled the same exact way, but in saMskR^itam, they would be considered as different sounds (अ vs. आ). Hence, "a" is used for...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    You should just do whatever makes you happy. You've gone through a more traumatic experience than most people on this forum (I could never imagine what I would feel like if I had a child and he/she died), so I can understand if things from your past make you feel uncomfortable. Also, I...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Yes, it is from the bhAgavatapurANa, although you might not find it too intriguing as it's a bhaktirasashAstra and is hence more concerned with devotion than philosophy (although, from a vaiShNava perspective, it's still filled with tattva-j~nAna). I have read the pAta~njalayogasutrANi, and...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Using that logic, if there are Hindus like me who don't believe that Jesus was divine or even enlightened, then isn't that also Hinduism? In my opinion, Hinduism is a very broad term. I personally do not think the thread should be moved; however, I do think it would be slightly more effective to...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    It's allowed, I assume (that's what I meant by "it's okay"). However, I (and possibly other Hindu-s) take slight offense at how he (and, to an extent, Contemplative Cat) have recently been considering those individuals' who adhere to orthodox Hindu views as being "embedded in their cultural...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Meh, it's okay. However, I too don't like the fact that he seems to argue with the so-called "traditionalist" Hindu-s, like me, who find it unpleasant to place a dead man on a crucifix (Jesus) at the same level as an avatAra of shrImannArAyaNa. Why doesn't he go stalk the Christian DIR asking...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    shrI kR^iShNa is bhagavAn, transcendental to all karma-s; he incarnates due to his own will to please his devotees and to destroy adharma. Making him out to be a mere "realized soul" is insulting to vaiShNava-s. According to the uddhavagItA, he gives others the consciousness with which to know...

    Would you like to contribute to a text about how Hinduism views Jesus (and perhaps others)?

    I agree with you completely. To some extent, this concept of "all paths lead to the same goal" was merely fabricated and is not authentically Hindu (scripturally, that is). Why else would Adi sha~Nkara go through the trouble of trying to spread advaitavedAnta among groups that were bauddha...

    Would you like to contribute to a text about how Hinduism views Jesus (and perhaps others)?

    This is just my opinion as a vaiShNava, no more no less. I do not speak for all vaiShNava-s or bhAgavata-s, let alone all Hindus. However, in my honest opinion, Jesus was not realized and he and his disciple paul were to the contrary bhaktadveShI-s who resented devotion and mocked actions...

    Hindi music

    At 30:35, I think it should sound more like parisrava, not parishrava, as it's a regular ShaDja sound (i.e. the ShaDja svara isn't changing the pronunciation), whereas they're pronouncing it as a tAlavyAkShara. I'm not sure though; I would need to go (re)check the rules for UShman sounds

    Even stating that you would be her "boy toy," :eek:. I'm sorry, but if you noticed, this is the first post that came up when I clicked on this thread (which was revived by nameless and satyaroop), so it's hard to miss. Blaming me doesn't help; if you do, I'll go navanIta chor on you, :D...

    What were you saying about tasteless comments again? Anyway, I like this song (although some of the scenes seem a bit random): xNKHRgj82Ng
