    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    No,you told you are yet meet a advaitin who views everyone equally.This is wrong.The reason is that you passively agree on the criticism of advaita maha-siddhas as demons and take it as form of higher intentions. Srila Prabhupada is saying that Jnanis at last get the liberation while Bhakta's...

    Sectarianism in ktism

    All the sects are sectarians.Like the advaitins call nirvikalpa to be the highest to suit their formless brahman.They have some scriptures tailor made for that..like avadhuta gita,yoga vasishtha etc.It is only when they point to specific individuals and their household/ashram activities it...

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    You might not..when you are consistently treated as a scum bag: Apologies,I updated my previous posts.'Eva; is certainly not the same as at-last. You do not because you do not subscribe to his views in these issues.But I have to bring out the preposterous propaganda that some Guru's have been...

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    Nah,I would not go so far to say it is an unadulterated one. I agree the transliteration is good(but not perfect),translation is mostly Gaudiya eulogy and purport explains their support from scriptures and differences from Advaita.Here,is one example: I mean these are not big mistakes and it...

    Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy of Integral Advaitism

    He could hardly speak bengali,when he came back from UK. And,he did not stay at that place for any long time.

    Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy of Integral Advaitism

    Yes I should go to Bengal once.:angel2:I am from a place nearby Pondicherry. So,I have been to Aurobindo Ashram several times,but I did not understand his 'sophistication' then.I did get some of his books but it did not make sense because I was unaware of his cosmology.None of the information on...

    Stoicism & Buddhism

    How? Can you come with sources? I would suggest you to read about Epictectus definition on Prohairesis. Epictetus (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Of course not.Please read it again. Your concept of virtue does not have any meaning,if there is no option for the subject to choose...

    Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy of Integral Advaitism

    Well,every one has his one style,not everyone has to agree with non-violence(or may be passive activism) of say Gandhi.It might have backfired with guys like Hitler and Stalin. While I agree with Aurobindo going overboard with patriotism and often criticizing European materialism,he did that in...

    Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy of Integral Advaitism

    His sadhana was superhuman,he stayed in a single room for last 25 years of life,shows how much he was dedicated to his yoga.I admire his writing ability,his ability to hold up multiple viewpoints and honest opinion on other religions like Islam.His work on greek mystic Heraclitus is considered...

    True.:)

    Hindus what is your opinion on Srila Prabhupada ?

    Well,I consider Prabhupada to be scholar in his own Sampradhay(philosophy) and he tried to spread those teachings through ways which I would not consider a realized saint would ideally use. The name of his version of Bhagavath Gita was 'As it is' which itself says a lot about the person and his...

    Questions about Advaita Vedanta

    Not much as far as broad philosophy is concerned,except that Advaita uses more Vedantic methods of self exploration and Kashmir Shavisim uses Tantric methods.For an outsider though,Smartism(Advaita) is not much different than polished vedantic shaivism.Again,Buddhist also have similar(but not...

    Women and Vaishnavism?

    Wonderfully written. Frubals!:) Does Shiva come off as cold, aloof and not really appealing for women?(Or Am I generalising?)
