Hinduism: Ask your Questions

[Don Penguinoini]

and please be carfull when referring to islam as a non tolerant religion because you can see how i tried resoning with you guys by words and not by violence. so please be carfull with your words.

How else can you reason with us? You cannot exactly shoot us over a website.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

lastly my hindu friends i have come to realise that what you have been saying about the evolition process is true and i will tell you why.
i will say this in response to your great respect about Islam, suraj
the reason why i now beleive in the evolution process is because you two have really proven to me that you have evolved from chimps. you may look like humans on the outside (i'm glad the outside process has finished) but on the inside you are still evolving, especially in the brain part.
because a smart human would be able to destinguish the truth from lies unlike a monkey who no matter what you do to convince it theres just no possible way you could ever convince it.

best wishes from eselam

May i ask, what is your first language, because i hope it is not English.

Telling us we have not fully developed is quite funny, i haven't im only 13 man. Im just a kid. Suraj is more grown up, he is fullly developed.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

Please, this is a thread to ask questions about Hinduism, dont make it about Islam, Eselam.

 

[Surya Deva]

How else can you reason with us? You cannot exactly shoot us over a website.

I think the world is right about Muslims. RF is composed of dozens of religions, and I've never seen people from other religions give threats to other members, defile their religions, try to convert them and talk about destroying their sacred objects. It is blatantly obvious to everyone Eselam entered this thread to cause trouble.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

Eselam is one in a million on this website Suraj. I think your being a little too harsh on them.

Ok Dear Suraj

let me ask you a few questions because Don needs a few years with Saddoos, Pandits and Swamis

1) Does Lord Shiva Smokes Marrijuana (cannabis) Why
2)Why Did Lord Shiva Chopped of his sons head, if he couldnt recoignize his own son, how will he recoignize me when i am in trouble.
3) Why couldnt Lord Shiva revive back his son, and he had to have a transplant with an elephants head
4) in the temple that is full of rats, in which the preists eat with them in the same plate (is there no hygene concerned or neccessary)remember there are not only couple of hundred rats, we are talking about more than 10,000 rats.
5) If Krishna could have many wives, and there is no where in any hindu scripture to forbid to marry more than one, why does the Hindu law Act forces the Hindu for only 1 wife, isnt the government of India stealing your right.
6) who made the statues of the current Hindu deities, and why does your preists and learned man do not stop them from worshipping them, since we know Hindusim is also a monotheist faith
7) who created the world and how was it created who was the first beleivers of God, how did the chain of revelation passed down from generation to generation.

i will ask you 7 first and after that i will ask you 7 more again because i have alot of questions regarding Hinduism

Your questions are meant to show us how dumb Hinduism is. The fact is I can ask all kinds of questions that try to prove all types of bad things about Islam. The whole internet is full of this type of question.I try not to let my ethics sink that low. Sometimes it is hard when I see others with so much passive-aggressive behavior being cloaked in the idea of I just want to understand your faith. I see this evil for what it is.

I do not believe that Shiva looks like a man with a blue neck who smokes pot. I dont know one Hindu who believes this. Each and every Hindu myth is all about teaching Hindu philosophy. I could help you understand the meaning of the myths, I dont think that is what you want. Its a waste of my time.

About the Rat Temple. I have seen it on TV. Non Hindus just love to ask about this.
This is one Temple out of millions. Most Hindus when this question is asked dont know anything about it. I could do the same thing to any belief system. Find some odd fact then try to make this look like it is an important part of a belief system. I find this behavior to be not ethical.

Ok Dear Suraj

5) If Krishna could have many wives, and there is no where in any hindu scripture to forbid to marry more than one, why does the Hindu law Act forces the Hindu for only 1 wife, isnt the government of India stealing your right.

One of the stories about all of Krishna's lady friends ( They are called the Gopis or in English milkmaids ) This story is not about how many wifes you can have. ( We see this as a very low way to look at it ) Its about love of God.

This is what Swami Vivekanada ( A few years ago a poll in India was taken -who was the most important Hindu teacher of the 20th century, Vivekanada won and he died in 1901) said this about the Gopis.

The Gopis understood Krishna only as the Krishna of Vrindaban. He, the leader of the hosts, the King of kings, to them was the shepherd, and the shepherd for ever. "I do not want wealth, nor many people, nor do I want learning; no, not even do I want to go to heaven. Let one be born again and again, but Lord, grant me this, that I may have love for Thee, and that for love's sake." A great landmark in the history of religion is here, the ideal of love for love's sake, work for work's sake, duty for duty's sake, and it for the first time fell from the lips of the greatest of Incarnations, Krishna, and for the first time in the history of humanity, upon the soil of India. The religions of fear and of temptations were gone for ever, and in spite of the fear of hell and temptation of enjoyment in heaven, came the grandest of ideals, love for love's sake, duty for duty's sake, work for work's sake.

Friend eselam,

Who is allah, and how does he differ from god/bhagwan/etc.?
Love & rgds

sorry if i've missed that question

Allah is the Sustainer and He is the Maintainer, He is the Most Mercifull, the Most Gracious . everything exists because of Him. Allah created everything from nothing and nothing is equal to or looks like Allah, He is clean from what non muslims accuse him of, Subhannallah.
the ways in which Allah differs from god/bhagwan are many but the most obvious is that Allah is one, there is no other creator except for Allah (thats what muslims beleive and so the biggest difference between Allah and your god is that Allah isn't made up (i don't mean to be rude or offencive in any way but thats how muslims see things)) . He has power over everything and nothing has power over Him. everything that happens, happens because of the Will and Permission of Allah. and we are not told to worship an idol or an image or anything similar such as a computer which was suggested by someone else in this thread.
Allah has always existed and will always exist. we do not know how or since when Allah exists because in some matters we have lmited knowledge.
Allah Knows and Sees everything, nothing can escape from the Almighty Creator for then He cannot be a god. He doesn't eat nor does he drink ( i don't know if your god does this but anyway), he doesn't become tired nor does he sleep.

if you want me to tell you more then just say so but i think ive made my point and answered your question.

 

[want to be hindu]

Ok Dear Suraj
6) who made the statues of the current Hindu deities, and why does your preists and learned man do not stop them from worshipping them, since we know Hindusim is also a monotheist faith

1st I am not a monotheist I am a monist.

I explain what just one idol means in this comment.

http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/1304768-post300.html

Each and every statue is a philosophical explanation of the nature and meaning of the way we see the world and God.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

to suraj
can you tell me wether the taj mahal is a hindu temple or is it an islamic mosque.
ive never been able to find that out.

Suraj is not here now so you will have to make do with me.

It is neither, but i was built by a Muslim, and has a Muslim design to it.

The Emperor Shah Jahan built this as a tomb for himself and his wife. Hehad many wives, be he loved this queen in particular.

But, there is a mousque next to it. There are also claims (which seem to be supported) that the foundations of the Taj were of a Hindu mandir dedicated to Shiv.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

Ok Dear Suraj

let me ask you a few questions because Don needs a few years with Saddoos, Pandits and Swamis

These are not the sort of questiosn which need many years of meditation. I am sure msot of these answers, these meaning CAN be found on the internet with ease.

To be spiritual, now that is something that would benefit me with Sadhus.

*unhijacks thread*
I have a question!


How much of the Holy Books (Vedas, Bhagavad Gita,Shruti, Smritis, anything you consider to be Holy Text from your religion) of Sanatana Dharma do you take literally, and how much do you take symbolically, metaphorically? How do you come to the conclusion?

Also, do you read it in the original language, with a translation, or interlinear? Why?

Still my enquiry is not resolved as to hoe allah is different than god/bhagwan/etc?
Await your response.

I dont think i can really accurately answer that, but, it all really depends on what you read. For me, if it is meant to be literal, it will appear so, if symbolically or metaphorical, then that will also appear so.

I would require a English translation because i cannot read or write any Indian languages.

 

[Surya Deva]

Ok Dear Suraj

let me ask you a few questions because Don needs a few years with Saddoos, Pandits and Swamis

1) Does Lord Shiva Smokes Marrijuana (cannabis)

No.

2)Why Did Lord Shiva Chopped of his sons head, if he couldnt recoignize his own son, how will he recoignize me when i am in trouble.

The story is a myth used to tell certain stories. Hinduism is rich in them.

3) Why couldnt Lord Shiva revive back his son, and he had to have a transplant with an elephants head

Again another myth.

4) in the temple that is full of rats, in which the preists eat with them in the same plate (is there no hygene concerned or neccessary)remember there are not only couple of hundred rats, we are talking about more than 10,000 rats.

I need your source. I've never heard this before.

5) If Krishna could have many wives, and there is no where in any hindu scripture to forbid to marry more than one, why does the Hindu law Act forces the Hindu for only 1 wife, isnt the government of India stealing your right.

Krishna did not have many wives. He had many women admirers when he was growing up.

6) who made the statues of the current Hindu deities, and why does your preists and learned man do not stop them from worshipping them, since we know Hindusim is also a monotheist faith

Who do you think makes them? The craftsman. Why not worship the idols?

7) who created the world and how was it created who was the first beleivers of God, how did the chain of revelation passed down from generation to generation.

The universe is not created. It is eternal and unchanging. The rest is illusion.

The revelation was revealed to the Risis/seers who recorded them in the Vedas in the form of mystical poetry.

i will ask you 7 first and after that i will ask you 7 more again because i have alot of questions regarding Hinduism

I'm ready for your next 7.

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, this thread is quite long and I don't particularly want to read through it all. What do you believe happens to you when you die? I've no clue why, but this always seems to be the first question that comes into my mind when I'm reading about a new religion.
