    Aryan Hinduism vs. Dravidian Hinduism

    Yes....But only some of them trace their origins to the aryan race.Most of these acharyas found their gurus in the north.

    Aryan Hinduism vs. Dravidian Hinduism

    Yes...Advaita normally means kevala-advaita ,unless stated otherwise. Four acharyas from 4 states of south india.. Sankara--Kerala. Ramanuja ---Tamil Nadu Madhva--Karnataka Nimbarka & Vallabha ---Andra Pradesh.

    Who is Shankarananda ?:D Vallabha Acharya is of south-indian descent settled in the north.

    Aryan Hinduism vs. Dravidian Hinduism

    I agree with this..... On a side note, acharyas of advaita,vishist-advaita,dvaita,dvaitaadvaita,shudda-advaita are from south and achintya bhedaabedha is from bengal(east)...but many vedic rishis are from north(that was before islam came).:D

    Reaching Nirvana....

    Thank You:). On a side note ,I would like to add that this question (which is based on false reasoning) has been widely used in anti-buddhist propaganda.(This may not be related to the OP)

    Reaching Nirvana....

    It is extinguished when we know that nirvana is not a state to be "reached " and that all us are already in nirvana,though we may not be aware of it.

    Non-theism eh?

    I am not completely satisfied with Buddhist solution through the doctrine of poison arrow ,which is not quite reasonable for me : For example I might ask: Advaita too takes similar stance like Buddhism in this regard. Theism/Non-theist requires Buddhism to define God,which it fails to...

    I would suggest you get it confirmed by expert astrologers,bcos there are many exceptions to the rules of astrology which a layman may miss .In case if it confirmed ,u may visit Shree kal hasti.

    What do you consider the most PEACEFUL religion?

    Tantra is part of Buddhism (and Hinduism).:confused: Buddhist China has more executions than many other countries,which is also shocking.:D
  15. Metempsychosis

    What do you consider the most PEACEFUL religion?

    But most Christian countries now enjoy good peaceful atmosphere,then the internal strife present in say the modern Buddhist countries for instance.So,my vote does count :o.

    Brahmacharya (Celibacy)

    I found this article to be quite insightful:Celibacy And there has been discussion on this here before:

    Brahmacharya (Celibacy)

    Celibacy is a pre-requisite for some of the Yogic practices,but I dont think a person has to be a life long celibate for following the Bhakti school.Many acharyas like Ramanujacharya were householders at least for some period in their life. Because you equate woman to her body,which is wrong...
