    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    "svAmI dayAnanda"? Wasn't he the joker who attacked mahidhara and uvata for their bhAShyam on the ashvamedha? It makes sense that he would be popular among stuck-up hindutvavAdI-s. Carry on... :facepalm:

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Really, it appears to me that it's part of his lIlA, see here.

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    saMskR^itam is relatively easy for me, so I can read most the rAmAyaNam without having to consult a dictionary (memorizing it, however, would be annoying and time consuming... it took me almost a month to memorize the viShNu sahasranAmam, lol). In regards to the torah text, I'm not that good at...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Didn't Noach drink a lot? Then again, the same text admonishes him for doing so: כ וַיָּחֶל נֹחַ, אִישׁ הָאֲדָמָ&#1492...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Why would I think that when Jewish people have never attacked another group in over 3000 years (well, unless you consider the Israeli-Palestianian conflict to be ethnic cleansing like commies and jihadists do)? Are you purposely misunderstanding me? I'm saying that in tAntrika practice...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Nonsense, shrI rAma lacked the svarUpAvasthitakalA (your list of "qualities" goes by AkarShaNam-s whereas traditional lists go by kalA-s) and is informed in the rAmAyaNam of his divinity by brahmA after he reaches la~NkA. Here are some of the verses from vAlmIkirAmAyaN.net...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Ok, I apologize. :o By today's standards, though, anyone murdering all the members of a specific tribe would be considered as genocidaire-s, no?

    I know I said that I would stop posting here, but I was convinced otherwise by NYK and shivafan. :)

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    Not all vaiShNava-s consider gautama buddha to be one of the dashAvatAra of shrI hari; I personally don't (I consider balarAma to be the 9th avatAra and consider shAkyamuni buddha to be one of his lIlAvatAra-s). Also, the founder of jainism (R^iShabha) is considered to be an avatAra of viShNu...

    Misconceptions about Hinduism

    HLK, a militant vaiShNava? That's the joke of the century. :rolleyes: If you meant sexist, casteist, radical advaitin vaiShNava, then I'd agree.

    Struggling to learn Gurmukhi, help?

    This gora dude in the video you posted doesn't exactly have the best accent. He is incorrect to an extent as well, ਛ (chh) does indeed sound more like "sh" than "ch" in punjAbi, whereas he makes them sound the same, which can make a big difference and can be problematic, like the...

    For the JuBu's...

    You do realize that ibbhA kaNhA can also mean servant of the kaNha-s rather than "black servant" and that makes more sense, right? It's egotistical of ambaTTha to look down on others regardless (or view them as servants), but the reference to skin color is not cut and dry as was the case with...

    For the JuBu's...

    The suttam says nothing about those being commonly held prejudices (it just said manussA, which could refer to some people or many people), and the original pALi does not say anything about "as a form of abuse." The text to me is stating that Buddha intentionally tried to humble and/or insult...

    For the JuBu's...

    praNAm, You know what, I'm totally wrong. Comparing dark-skinned people to pishAcha-s [demons] as the nAstika g[au/o]tama buddha did in the t[r]ipiTaka ["yathA kho pana ambaTTha etarahi manussA pisAche disvA'pisAchA'ti sa~njAnanti; evameva kho, ambaTTha, tena kho pana samayena manussA...

    Concerns I Have, As An Adherent of Shkalya Shkh, With Misappropriation by A Druid Fellowship

    Why does it matter if it's intellectual dishonesty? Sure it might be a bit funny, but there's no reason to "call out someone;" if you were talking about actual attacks on Hinduism (like by maoists, Islamists, and radical Baptist missionaries), then yes I agree it is a problem, but criticizing...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Okay, so I have two more questions. How is doing the lAva phere during weddings or doing the phere around the nishAn sAhib after mathA TekNA (not done at all gurdwara's, but I've seen it done at many gurdwara-s, especially at banglA sahib) any less idolatrous than how Hindu-s perform pradakShiNA...

    The Western Misappropriation of Tantra

    It looks pretty, but I wouldn't never want to live there (I've lived in Kasur, Pakistan for 18 years, and it kind of sucks being a non-Muslim in a majority Muslim country). Speaking of which, why do these mujahideen scum always steal such beautiful places like that city you linked to and on top...

    The Western Misappropriation of Tantra

    You unintentionally reminded me of how I never updated a new website I created in more than a month (see the url and you'll understand why), :p. What about R^iShiragastya?

    The Western Misappropriation of Tantra

    Actually, "aupamanyav" is the Hindi pronounciation. In saMskR^itam, it would be pronounced as aupamanyava, just like how मानव (descendant of manu/human) would be pronounced as mAnav in hindi but mAnava in saMskR^itam. You probably already know that though, I just like...

    The Western Misappropriation of Tantra

    As far as I can tell, the top (the bolded parts) are in saMskR^itam, the bottom is in Hindi.
