Sorry to say, but this forum, Hindu DIR has gone to hell with people leaving, people constantly arguing and others making threads that see no replies.
I'll cya guys in a week or so. I need to clear my head of all this rubbish...maybe take a seaside vacation...go and kill some fish etc
I am tired of people calling each other names...telling others their practices are adharmic or tamasic....calling each other NAstikas...outsiders, Mlecchas...etc, it reminds me of high school, but funny thing is, it is my choice to be here.
If it wasn't for Jaya Bholenath reminding me about the basic principles of Tantra - that all three Gunas should be balanced and none should dominate, so I shouldn't get upset if somebody tells me I am Tamasic as if that were a 'bad thing'...
If it wasn't for her saying that in our case (Tantrikas), to be called a NAstika is a compliment, not an insult...I would have told you all where to go a few days ago. Tantrikas are just different that way and we stick by our own.
Still, it is annoying to watch all this childish behaviour and I am not singling anybody out...but it tends to get really old, really fast now as each thread becomes a clone of all the other ones.
So, I'm going to go and pray for a while then watch Da Vinci Code (never seen it), go to sleep, wake up tomorrow and plan a little 'mental health getaway'. I need to gaze at vast, open expanses of stuff to empty my brain out.
Om Namah Shivaya
