    Homework for students: Yay or Nay?

    @OP I think it can teach students time management and other skills e.g. research, perserverance, self-dependency, problem solving alone etc. All are practical skills for work or post-graduate study for example. The underlying concern for me is if curriculum based agenda, which is not...

    How much you love your spouse.

    The love of my life is my wife, if I didn't say that she would use her knife. That is not to say, that I couldn't be gay*, but it certainly reduces the strife. *gay = happy.

    What makes something worthy of worship? What characteristics define a god or God?

    In my view "God" is not separate from anything or any person, so "God" is not a separate being and hence not extra-terrestrial. "God" is in fact being-ness itself, and that being-ness includes all entities with "life" e.g. humans, animals, plants etc. Within beingness are all apparently...

    What is Dharma?

    It may be useful to note at this point that there is Shaivite commentary (Gitartha Samgraha) on the Bhagavad Gita by Abhinavagupta (cerca 1020 AD) (ISBN 81-8569-44-8). Are you able to provide any references, other than personal opinion, that Hinduism is not based on scriptures (or the other...

    Wait for dismissle or a better job, i.e. don't quit. I have met companies who only employ Muslims, for example.

    Is this true?

    That is interesting. This is why you, Kaisersose say that Hinduism is not based on scriptures, is it? I personally cannot see this making much difference to those who do base Hinduism on scriptures. So it is interesting to know more about how others understanding their religion.

    Enlightenment in Pagan or revival religions?

    Thanks Saint Tigress and Quintessence for the additional input. You have saved me a lot or research from calling on your own backgrounds :) I was curious if this had a conceptual/theological role. I agree in that I don't see any limitations on enlightenment related to path specifically.

    Krishna knows "Past, Present and Future"?

    In my opinion there is no free will. There is will, but it is not free. For me this is the main teaching of the Bhagavad Gita. The will without "free" implies that there is a sensation of choice arising for the individual as the individual experiences his or her will on the mundane, day to...

    Is Hinduism a religion

    A wise friend is a friend who knows his frubals from his pastry. Even wiser is a man who knows his Brahman from his salmon! (OK, I will improve my poetry in my next life but ya get da gist) :)

    What three things would you bring/teach to early humankind?

    Hi Odion Tricky question! :) I think I would take hygiene improvement skills (not sure what). Specifically operating hygiene and living conditions. I think this is the cause for much avoidable suffering and shortened life span in the past. The other two things would be to support that...

    Is Hinduism a religion

    :o frubals are my friends But are frubals real? :) They are, but only whilst they matter. Likewise the more the material world of Atanu and Onkara matters the greater the doubt in Brahman. To arrive at Brahman we can use the method to negate all that the sages have told us that It is not...
