    Why did God create left/right

    For experience. Differences create contrast and diversity. Diversity is the spice of life. The diversity and contrast in life gives way to different sensual experiences. From a Sanatana Dharma perspective the universe was created for God to experience Himself as many so we find we are always...

    is jnana yoga similar to shikantaza?

    Hello Daniel Not quite from what I have read. They are methods in their own right. on wikipedia: Shikantaza is a form of meditational awareness (lack of a better description): Whereas Jñana yoga is a path of knowledge to realise or understand the truth using the intellect. It can be...

    Professional athlete etc & varna

    My personal opinion would lean towards this too. Popstars are Vaishya or Sudra, as their goal is not divine. To be Brahmanas they would need to compose and sing the glory of God. Of course these are gross generalisations and I have nothing to support this except opinion. :)

    Christianity's Similarities with Hinduism

    This is the last line from that article: lol, well perhaps once someone understands Hinduism then the Bible starts to make more sense :p The issue with this topic is that it seems to be political, because Christian set out to convert Hindus rather than let them be. It can be considered...

    A line in this prayer...

    I recently switched to their other site and found it more advanced. I chose FedEx and had it delivered from India to Europe in less than a week, admittedly quick delivery doubles the price but it was worth it :) Here is the link http://www.chennaimath.org/estore/srimad-bhagavata-4-vol-set...

    Glad you liked it too, Gaura Priya :) I have not found another one like it, with the same universal embrace and style. I would have liked to hear it live.

    I think it happens before Canto X, as it is Vishnu :) To save you from wondering why you can't find it.

    Aniconic Hinduism?

    This is an old thread and perhaps the OP does not require an answer now, but as I came across this on wikipedia I thought I would add it for common interest: Pranami Sampraday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Can morality be based off of lies?

    Hi Yes, being honest to oneself is fundamental I would say. Initially perhaps people do not know how to be fundamentally honest so look to sources outside themselves for that moral path. This is the point where it may become skewed. Later this moral path may prove to be a lie. In my opinion...

    Does a Person Need to Understand Everything In Their Religion?

    Good question. I would also say that it is not necessary and perhaps not even possible. However most people do do some research before "purchasing the product". The point then might be to arrive at a state of intuitive knowing of unshakable confidence before claiming the religion is right for...

    A line in this prayer...

    My guess is that it is referring to Gajendra's moksha in the Srimad Bhagavatam e.g Gajendra Moksha : The Story of Elephant’s King (I haven't read this page in whole, but take Chief and King to perhaps be translation related)
