    I don't understand the Bhagavad Geeta

    @Aupmanyav @sayak83 @Jainarayan The Gita is Krishna telling Arjun that it is OK for him to kill his brother Karna and his Kaurava cousins. The reason is because only the body dies and not the soul. Why did the other Pandavas want Hastinapur so much after their exile was over ? Was Indrapastha...

    Krishna and Maya

    Last week I attended my first Hare Krishna program in 7 months. and we were told you could serve either Krishna or Maya, but not both at the same time. This seems to be one of Prabhupada's oversimplifications (" That is not possible"), but then have found representations on internet like this...

    Systems, Theology, No path Path

    Howdy! I just felt like sharing some thoughts. The universe started with a divine dance. Not something like a waltz but something more like salsa. Shiva and Shakti came together, and their dance created all things. There was passion, lust, adventure, thrills, horror and so many other things...

    Two Weeks of Devotion to God/Hindu Practice Update

    Howdy guys. So, two weeks ago I had a interesting experience after worshiping an image of Kali. A very strange Kali Experience TLDR, I bowed down to an image and had a intense experience which caused me to take a two week break from certain substances and focus on two weeks of devotion. I...

    Where to find people who love Deity worship?

    Hello everyone! I hope this is ok to post here. I am relatively new here. Last year I officially left Iskcon after 6 years (although 3 out of those years I had already not been going to the temple but still associated myself with iskcon). From everything that I had learned to practice there...

    Questions on Mahabharat and Geeta

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong forum please move it to an appropriate one. I have been reading Amar Chitra Katha's Mahabharat and Geeta. I have some questions: Mahabharat 1) Why did Kunti not accept Karna as her son ? 2) Why did Karna choose the Kauravs? 3) Why did Vichitraveerya die of...

  8. The Crimson Universe

    What is the correct interpretation of Gita chapter 7 verse 24 ?

    Here is the explanation by the dualists (the ISKCONITES) : Unintelligent men, who do not know Me perfectly, think that I, the supreme personality of Godhead, Krsna, was impersonal (avyaktam) before and have now assumed this personality (vyaktam). Due to their small knowledge, they do not know...

    Who was Krishna in your tradition?

    This question is mainly for Hindus but open for anyone who would like to offer some respectful thoughts or insights. The Baha'i faith teaches that Krishna was a 'Manifestation of God' and is ranked alongside other Great Spiritual Teachers such as Buddha, Christ and Muhammad. Manifestations of...

    Travel to Spiritual Planets

    Where does this topic belong? I attended scripture classes about a month ago at a Hare Krishna temple, and had a pleasant experience recently that seemed to link to each other - the concept of "travel to other planets" without a vessel was briefely covered in said classes and there was a nice...

    Enlightened or Divine?

    I, along with seven other members from our local Vedanta group, sat down for a discussion with Swami Sarvadevananda yesterday. In that discussion, we spoke about figures such as Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, and a few others. Swami Sarvadevananda as well as a few others that were there...

    "Suryaputra" and "Daanveer"; Karna

    Karna continues to be renowned for his generosity and fearlessness. With immense prowess, he had the vigor of the Sun deity. Defeating Jarasena himself by attempting to bifurcate the evil ruler of Magadha and moving the Chariot of Arjuna with Krishna and hanuman. Though having the most unfair...

    Bhagavad Gita is highly practical and undoubtably accurate in its teachings.

    Bhagavad Gita or the Word of God is the only scripture that has given me any real knowledge so far. I've been a Christian, a Hindu, an atheist, Wiccan, etc... And out of all the scriptures I've read, I've loved the Gita. Even more than the Vedas and the Dharmapada and definitely more than the...
