Who Would This Person Be Within Hinduism

But he is going to take a long long time to come - 426,000 years and not earlier than that.
The dates are all made up, fair enough we can look at astrological time, and have a guess at when we think these things might take place; yet it is just the same as people predicting Biblical timelines, we really don't know.
Kalki is not going to be a prophet. He will be an avatara of Lord Vishnu.
Though i do have prophetic abilities, i don't say I'm one; tho thought i was an avatar since 4 years old, and vaguely knew what it meant, as could remember Heaven, and my mission.
You see, Wizanda, it is just not possible in Hinduism to have an agreement (on anything whatsoever). That, sort of, defines Hinduism.
Thank you, i respect your opinion on that issue, and it does appear to be like that, from the many varied answers within the thread....

Plus to be honest with you, that was really all i was assessing; that just like every other religion, we're in a time of confusion, where people are all divided....

Thought maybe Hindu's were perhaps less argumentative; yet realized they're just the same. :oops:

On the one hand been asked to show how the religions interlink; yet not been asked to save anyone....

I'm not proselyting; i was asking a question on all religious eschatology, and if it fitted within a Hindu understanding...

Which even though the text might suggest it does, the people are in disagreement, just the same as all the other religions.

We're not in a Dir anymore, this is the debate section. ;)

Who asked you to show this?

Certain door to door religious salesmen have said to me that they're not proseltysing, just sharing, or asking questions. I remain unconvinced. To me its proseltysing. Rule 8 of this forum isn't specific to DIRs, its for the whole forum. I don't know who gets to decide here. You're definitely proseltysing to me, basically because of your persistence. Hindu after Hindu has informed you that your understandings are not Hindu, yet you continue to go on about it. Just as Aup's personal beliefs on advaita and/or AIT are his personal beliefs and have been termed Aupvaita by some because as far as we know, he's somewhat alone in his understandings, so too it seems are you alone. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that. I'm just saying they're your beliefs, not ours. Eschatology isn't the only topic that had wide variances.

I think I'd be somewhat more convinced if you showed a greater understanding somehow of the eastern paradigm. For example, have you ever been to a Hindu temple, or do you know much about Hindu Gods, or other philosophy?So far you haven't shown it to me. Again, doesn't mean you don't have some knowledge of us, just that you haven't been able to convince us.

These are firm different beliefs.
Yeah this is a beautiful garden, if it had only one flower it'd get boring.
What binds us is 'dharma'. And to allow others to accept different beliefs is 'dharma'.
It's not the beliefs that was meaning we're divided over, individuals can come to any conclusion they want from a text; even if there is normally some more logical conclusion, it's their choice.

It's that people of different religions, don't share with each other openly; when really other than specific words, we're all talking about the same thing in some way.

That the human right section on Paltalk, is full of Abrahamic religions interrogating, and accusing each other for fun....

The world has gone mad, and is on auto-pilot for WW3, between all the religious. :confused:
Who asked you to show this?
At 15 a voice spoke through the walls of reality, at 5/6 years old knew I'd go over the Bible at 25, at 22 fulfilled prophecy in the Bible before reading it properly, 23 had a NDE, etc....So the source of all reality as we know it did.
do you know much about Hindu Gods, or other philosophy?
Understand many of the concepts of Hinduism, looked at a few of the God's in more detail... Need to do loads more study into Hinduism. :innocent:

I don't believe they're talking about the same thing at all. I do believe in a unity in diversity, unity of mankind in some human way. After all, we are on this planet together. But there are vast chasms of difference in philosophy.

Many people have had NDEs and/or mystical experiences. You're certainly not at all unique. Another difference in paradigms is that Hindus will rarely talk about it, and the western mindset will go on about it a whole lot.

You have yet to demonstrate even the simplest ideas of Hinduism to me. A person can 'say' whatever they want, but to demonstrate it is another thing altogether. I taught school long enough to never ask my students if they understand something, because they'd inevitably say 'Yes' when they didn't, even if it was about some topic I totally made up just to test them.

This is where people are funny, in the past someone came from Heaven, and they'd ask about eternal life, and what it's like; now they ask if you know all about one certain book (same happens in all religions), and if you don't match their criteria, they then claim that you can't be an authority on Heaven. :confused:

I wasn't claiming to be even the simplest student on Hinduism..... :innocent:

Asking about a certain book certainly doesn't happen in Hinduism. Another transfer/projection from Abrahamism. For starters which book would that be? One of the 4 Vedas? The BG? The Upanishads? Patanjali's Yoga Sutras? The Tirukkural? The Tirumantiram? The Ramayana? the Mahabharata?

The admitting that you know nothing about Hinduism is indeed a great start. Maybe now, when 6 or 7 Hindus claim that what you're talking about has nothing to do with Hinduism, you might believe us. We are all Hindus, after all, and each of us does know something about Hinduism.

Once again, there is no 'came from heaven' in Hinduism. Yes we have reincarnation, but one can hardly state that a temporary stay on the astral planes is heaven.

Namaste,

Sorry for the late reply, was on short break.

Dharma stems from Heaven, and it is the way of Heaven.

Ok, so Dharmah still remains in Heaven, is this correct?, Now what is there to be Dharmic about in Heaven, What is the role of Dharmah in Heaven?, What Karm would constitute Dharmah in Heaven?, If there is Dharmah in Heaven is also there Adharmah?

Because the right way only exists as Brahman does, the reality without Brahman wouldn't have Dharma, it would just be chaos.

Ok, guess you are denying Hindus the Sanatana aspect of Dharmah, Because the reason you give is a non Hindu idea of Brahman and Dharmah. Why are you uncomfortable with Hindu ideas about Dharmah and Brahman?

Maya is a realm of delusional people...It is a place between Heaven and Hell in multiple cultures globally; mortals don't get to be immortal, unless they're special.

Ok, so you are nicely saying that we as Hindus are wrong and almost to Hell. As obviously you do not agree with Atman being Sat-Chit-Annand.

There are aspects of the idea that everything is created by God, and if you're one with God in consciousness, then you're part of the divine, yet it doesn't make you God.

This is absolute Duality, not even the Dvaita would agree to a infinite separation of Atman and Brahman. But i guess your not talking about Hindu concepts here, but largely Christian.

And i was saying i think the Abrahamic concept of God is nonsense in many aspects;

Is this why the concept of Brahman is more appropriate for your experience, because it would be considered nonsense in traditional Christian view?

Look, i respect you personal experiences, but as there is no method or technology available for reproduction (NDE is not reproducible, in a controlled way), I cannot comment on your personal view, but if you are trying to link this with Hindu concepts and ideas which to me is not consistent with much of Hinduism, here I do not agree, because I am a practicing Hindu.

Because the term God applies to anyone's concept of God, it isn't specifically Abrahamic; if i was using that deity, I'd use its names YHVH or EL maybe.... Yet God is a universal term.

God is not a Universal term at all, the History that accompanies "GOD", is clearly Judeo-Christian/Abrahamic, It is just been forced onto people because of many other factors (English being one), I don't use the term God when describing Vishnu, because it does not fit into many preconceived notions of what a God is, not even the word Universe can be considered a universal term.

Because I'm speaking from first hand experience, in Heaven which is a place of pure consciousness (nothing to do with your Abrahamic concepts); this is just what happens from my experience.

Where is this Heaven? Now who brought Abrahamic ideas into this thread, me or you?

From my own NDE Heaven was called Oneness, the essence of this is the Dharma...

Now if you want to apply your Christian ideology or Hindu that is fine; yet isn't what I'm talking about, and thus many Hindus do accept these terms.

Ofcourse many Hindus accept these terms, does not make these terms similar or the same, that is what I am saying, your NDE is conditioned by the westernized version of Heaven, are you saying that if a Muslim has NDE, he will see Brahman in Heaven as well, if this is correct where is the evidence for this?

Rather than listen to what I'm saying, you're translating my words into Abrahamic concepts, and thus misapplying them repeatedly.

I did not translate your words at all, are you saying that GOD, Heaven, Hell (which are your exact words in this thread) have no relationship to Abrahamic concepts?

There are multiple religions globally with the same eschatology, not only Christian, and i was speaking from all.

I am sorry, but you do not speak for Hinduism, nor do you speak from Hinduism.

Since Christians are Anti-Christ's teachings in my understanding, and considering that is often my main point online, my whole site is about ending Christianity; you've been making up a strawman to argue with.

I am not making a strawman at all, You quote the Bible, you think other Christians are not real Christians, You have a Christian way of looking at religions by reading texts ect, you have agreed that Hindus are closer to your version of Hell, you deny the Sanatana aspect of Dharmah, you believe in Brahman in Heaven, I could claim that your the one making the Strawman of the "Anti-Christ's Teaching", Christians, then beating him up with the "Not-Hindu but Christianize-Dharmah" version of your argument.

You're just not getting what i keep saying, dharma is the right way, the righteous way, the logical way, etc....

This is what you have been implying, Dharmah is the way to Heaven, this heaven which is a place where one meets Brahman.

And I am saying that this is not what Dharmah is and heaven is not where Brahman is, Simple.

Since i think Christianity is evil, that shows how little you understand.

Just because you think Christianity is Evil, does not make it so, and just because you see Christianity as Evil does not mean All religions are Evil, and Just because you think Christianity is Evil does not mean that your ideas of Heaven, Hell, GOD are not preconditioned by Christian thought in the first place.

Multiple eschatologies all have someone who is sent or comes from Heaven just before the end of the age, including Hinduism with Kalki....

This is what I am saying, Kalki takes Birth at the end of Kali Yuga (One of infinite cycles of Yugas), and he does not come nor is he sent from a heaven. Which part of this is hard for you to fathom.

Yet it originally had nothing to do with Christianity; it was specifically about the things i was told to do by God.

Your post #21

The Bible tells people to seek within, and question themselves, people like to blame external sources, and miss the point entirely.

You are not true to your self, if you speak to a God, or if God tells you something, this is not seeking within.

so Dharmah still remains in Heaven, is this correct?,
Dharma comes from Heaven, thus it is essential for being in Heaven....

It would be Hell or here, if it didn't have dharma being followed there.
What is the role of Dharmah in Heaven?
It is the underlying essence of all things there....

Find your questions strange, like you're almost saying you're following dharma as you're seeking reward; which you realize is adharmic?
What Karm would constitute Dharmah in Heaven?
If you didn't follow dharma in Heaven, you'd reincarnate here; if you failed following dharma here, you'd go even lower to Hell.
If there is Dharmah in Heaven is also there Adharmah?
No of course not, adharma is the opposite of Heaven; here is a place between Heaven and Hell, thus we have both.
guess you are denying Hindus the Sanatana aspect of Dharmah
I've not denied it; it is your understanding of what I'm saying....

Brahman changed the reality from chaos into order, within that order, it was the dharma that organized it into logic and righteous Oneness; then due to the nature of the materials used, adharma slowly creeps back in, until it takes over, then everything is reformed again, these are the yugas from my knowledge.

Thus dharma is infinite, there isn't a time that righteousness and logic don't exist, as it stems from the very core of Brahman.

So tho reality, and the Maya may disappear, dharma will remain, even if only Heaven is kept for a bit, whilst things are reformed.
Why are you uncomfortable with Hindu ideas about Dharmah and Brahman?
Not uncomfortable with any ideaologies, and fasinated to see how it relates to our knowledge; yet will always stick with the facts we're aware of, as they're taken from far more sources, and is thus less susceptible to errors.
so you are nicely saying that we as Hindus are wrong and almost to Hell.
Not all Hindus believe we are God; not everyone thinks we're in a state of constant bliss.
As obviously you do not agree with Atman being Sat-Chit-Annand.
Having seen Heaven and Hell, the soul isn't in constant bliss here, and below here is torment....

In Heaven whilst one with Brahman we're in constant bliss, and have the qualities of sat chit ananda.....

Even as someone who knows how to connect with Brahman, has that as part of my name (Zanda), i can't maintain truth or bliss in this realm of delusion (Maya).
would agree to a infinite separation of Atman and Brahman.
Didn't say they're infinitely separated; the soul can always connect with Brahman, when in the right state through Yoga (to bond), and by being dharma.
But i guess your not talking about Hindu concepts here, but largely Christian.
Multiple different religions have this same concept; the idea you think it only comes from Christianity explains the confusion.
Is this why the concept of Brahman is more appropriate for your experience, because it would be considered nonsense in traditional Christian view?
There is only understanding, there isn't which is best or more appropriate....

Christians can partially accept what I'm saying, if i fit my wording within their belief structure; not as experienced with the Hindu terminology, thus been picked up on it each time.

Yet they both fit in their own ways, and both are limited in their knowledge; which would mean both would argue over me being wrong the same. :confused:
the History that accompanies "GOD", is clearly Judeo-Christian/Abrahamic
Actually the history of the word God comes from the German deity, and then was adopted into the English.
I don't use the term God when describing Vishnu, because it does not fit into many preconceived notions of what a God is
Agreed it would be rude to not use a deities name, when that is more applicable; yet according to the dictionary the term God is universal, you've concluded it means the Abrahmic deities YHVH, when that isn't even its name.
Where is this Heaven?
Heaven is beyond the material dimensions within a place of pure consciousness, better known as Oneness.
Now who brought Abrahamic ideas into this thread, me or you?
Neither of us, i used terminology in my original post based on what i was told, some of that has been concluded to be Christian only, when it is in many other religious texts, including Hindu.
your NDE is conditioned by the westernized version of Heaven
Fair enough in someways what we perceive is what we will experience in Heaven, as our perceptions create the reality we see around us in a place of pure consciousness....

Yet my understanding wasn't westernized, had already studied mainly eastern ideologies, had no comprehension of much of the Biblical ideology experienced, until years after on studying it.
are you saying that if a Muslim has NDE, he will see Brahman in Heaven as well
Muslims will see what they perceive as Allah, as they're all the same being; we just make up different mythologies around the world, to comprehend something beyond our comprehension.
are you saying that GOD, Heaven, Hell (which are your exact words in this thread) have no relationship to Abrahamic concepts?
They are referenced in them texts, as they are in Hindu texts, etc, they're all as misguided to me in someway, as we're in the Maya; they've got parts of the facts, parts of mythology, each has parts of the puzzle, and when we place them all together, we start to see where they're wrong.... From there, then we can establish what is right globally as One.

Just using the most universal terms, doesn't imply it means a set religion, it is a massive presumption to assume so.
nor do you speak from Hinduism.
Learning what is required as we speak.
you do not speak for Hinduism
Actually Hindu texts, like the majority of religious texts, speak for themselves; the people following it are often so confused, it is some times the complete opposite that they come out with.
you think other Christians are not real Christians
Ergh!! :confused:

Christians are what they say they are, they follow Paul, Simon peter and John....

The name christian was applied after to their church, not the original followers of Yeshua; which were called 'Followers of the Way' or in my opinion Ebionites.
You have a Christian way of looking at religions by reading texts
You really should study more religions, and you'd find that it isn't only Christianity that has the same ideas.
you have agreed that Hindus are closer to your version of Hell
I was saying that people who are full of self, and ego claiming they're God, when we're in a place near Hell, are clearly misguided; not all Hindus are lost, the same as any other religion.
And I am saying that this is not what Dharmah is and heaven is not where Brahman is, Simple.
Ok, so where does dharma stem from according to you?

Where does Brahman exist according to you?
Just because you think Christianity is Evil, does not make it so
True, my opinion on its own counts for nothing; yet when i was sent with this information from Heaven, and can then substantiate it within their religious texts, and is prophesied by many, i will stick with the majority, and what Brahman put me here for.
just because you see Christianity as Evil does not mean All religions are Evil
What the prophets established, and what Christianity then shows, is that we're in a world of Maya, where people don't have a clue what is going on, and will follow things blindly without question....

Now unfortunately, this isn't religion based; yet a part of human nature, so it applies across the board.
ideas of Heaven, Hell, GOD are not preconditioned by Christian thought in the first place.
Go look at the Near Death Experience websites, listen to testimonies of former atheists, that have had similar experiences; things just exist a certain way, then people try to quantify them with what ever source material they can find, i chose all religions, not only one.
Kalki takes Birth at the end of Kali Yuga
Well i was born, have been informed we're coming to an end of this age, was asked to share dharma/Oneness, shown the world is in a state of adharma...The only thing that doesn't fit is being pedantic over specific wording.
Which part of this is hard for you to fathom.
Well as asking above, where do you think the deities reside, when not here in the realm of Maya?
You are not true to your self, if you speak to a God, or if God tells you something, this is not seeking within.
Errrm, that wasn't in the context of the statement... It was that both religious texts tell people to seek within to find God.

Then to declare if a deity speaks with you, and tells you things, you won't seek within to understand it, is just silly.
Your post #21
I've spent the last 12 years speaking with Christians, and understanding their beliefs, thus of course i will answer when someone makes faulty statements; you shouldn't assume so much about people with out asking them, as on many occasions (sorry to say) you're wrong. :innocent:

No of course not, adharma is the opposite of Heaven; here is a place between Heaven and Hell, thus we have both.

Seems like reward and punishment, because....

Find your questions strange, like you're almost saying you're following dharma as you're seeking reward; which you realize is adharmic?

...............Is not the Heaven you advocate a kind of reward for Dharmah? and Adharmah a Punishment which leads to Hell or lower then hell?

I never agreed that Dharmah leads to Heaven, nor that there is a Heaven in the first place.

I've not denied it; it is your understanding of what I'm saying....

But you have clearly said previously that "Before creation there was chaos, therefore no dharma.", this is what I was contending as not a Hindu view, and now you have seemed to changed your stance.

Not all Hindus believe we are God; not everyone thinks we're in a state of constant bliss. Having seen Heaven and Hell, the soul isn't in constant bliss here, and below here is torment....In Heaven whilst one with Brahman we're in constant bliss, and have the qualities of sat chit ananda....Even as someone who knows how to connect with Brahman, has that as part of my name (Zanda), i can't maintain truth or bliss in this realm of delusion (Maya)..

Hindus in many sampradaya and even those who dont subscribe to any particular sampradaya would agree that the essential nature of the Atman is Sat-Chit-Annand and it is only our ignorance of this our innate nature that limits us from complete self realization (atmagyana), after self realisation (using many of yogic methods) we are to attain a state many call as Mukti or Moksha where the Atman free from Ignorance then only is to be known as Paratman/Brahman.

And here if you use the word GOD instead of Brahman/Paratman then you still are advocating hell for all these Hindus, if you dont understand the essential nature of the Atman (as sat-chit-annand) and consider it as a Soul in constant Bliss then again you are condemning Hindus to your version of hell.

Christians can partially accept what I'm saying, if i fit my wording within their belief structure; not as experienced with the Hindu terminology, thus been picked up on it each time. Yet they both fit in their own ways, and both are limited in their knowledge; which would mean both would argue over me being wrong the same. :confused:

So essentially Hindus are limited in knowledge more so then the Christians and even more so then you, because you have complete knowledge.

Actually the history of the word God comes from the German deity, and then was adopted into the English.

Brahman - Great Expanse - Does not equal to God or Deity. therefore God is not Universal when it comes to Brahman or Paratman.

They are referenced in them texts, as they are in Hindu texts, etc, they're all as misguided to me in someway, as we're in the Maya; they've got parts of the facts, parts of mythology, each has parts of the puzzle, and when we place them all together, we start to see where they're wrong.... From there, then we can establish what is right globally as One.

You know this is my only contention with these kinds of threads. People may think im going too far, but really i find that even the most peaceful person, who seems to have good and noble intentions (like you), will always call others as wrong, and espouse one way of thinking, one way of being right, one true religion ect. this in my honest opinion is the greatest Adhramah anyone can commit, and i cannot agree to this ideology so it forces me to call others as incorrect or wrong just because i see this idea of Global Oneness turning into a crime against freedom of expression, religion, spirituality, pluralism and worship. This may be a Good intention from your end right now, but the consequences are unknown and unrealistic, these words that we should have one of anything just does not sit well with me.

Christians are what they say they are, they follow Paul, Simon peter and John....
The name christian was applied after to their church, not the original followers of Yeshua; which were called 'Followers of the Way' or in my opinion Ebionites.
You really should study more religions, and you'd find that it isn't only Christianity that has the same ideas.

Studying religions and figuring out where they are wrong, then calling them not original is another great Adharmah.

I was saying that people who are full of self, and ego claiming they're God, when we're in a place near Hell, are clearly misguided; not all Hindus are lost, the same as any other religion.

Ok, if you wish to re-evaluate your previous claims that the Atman is not Sat-Chit-Annand, by questioning Ahamkara this is fine. But still sending people to Hell no matter which version it is, is Adharmic.

Ok, so where does dharma stem from according to you?

Nowhere in particular, being Sanatana, it is and always will be. But different types of Dharmah stems from the different aspects of our Human existence depending on the context of life.

Where does Brahman exist according to you?

Nowhere in particular, meaning since all is Brahma there is no particular place for This to exist.

Well i was born, have been informed we're coming to an end of this age, was asked to share dharma/Oneness, shown the world is in a state of adharma...The only thing that doesn't fit is being pedantic over specific wording.

Are you claiming to be Kalki Avatara?

It was that both religious texts tell people to seek within to find God.
Then to declare if a deity speaks with you, and tells you things, you won't seek within to understand it, is just silly.

What you said was this, "Yet it originally had nothing to do with Christianity; it was specifically about the things i was told to do by God.", italics mine. I took this in the larger context of your NDE experience that seeing Brahman in heaven and he told you some things, this was my understanding.

I've spent the last 12 years speaking with Christians, and understanding their beliefs, thus of course i will answer when someone makes faulty statements; you shouldn't assume so much about people with out asking them, as on many occasions (sorry to say) you're wrong. :innocent:

I do apologize for being wrong about Christian Theology, but coming from the outside perspective i don't go around telling them that their idea of God is wrong, or they are not following the original Christianity, but i did take your interpretation of the bible (being seeking within) and i did not say that Catholics or other Christians don't agree to this, but as per the above misunderstanding i saw a contradiction.

Anyways you are right.

Seems like reward and punishment, because....
It isn't a reward or punishment, it is a choice; everything is all about our frequency, we can't be in pure consciousness, whilst we're impure.
...............Is not the Heaven you advocate a kind of reward for Dharmah? and Adharmah a Punishment which leads to Hell or lower then hell?
People aren't sent to the basement, they stay there, as they didn't realize they were full of their own self, and not living a life of Oneness; thus they hide in the darkness from being in the pure light of Brahman, as it shows all their iniquity.
now you have seemed to changed your stance.
Not changed since the beginning of reality; like saying don't assume so much.
you are condemning Hindus to your version of hell.
Not condemning anyone, this is just the way things work from my experience; not some ancient religious texts, passed down and misunderstood.
So essentially Hindus are limited in knowledge more so then the Christians
We're in a world of delusional people (Maya), both are confused equally, both have things right and wrong, and only by examining all information as one, can we ever hope to know the truth.

Personally always learning, and have great faith 'i don't know'; even with lots of experience, always open to better understanding.
Brahman - Great Expanse - Does not equal to God or Deity.
So all the Hindus who use the term God for Brahman, like this website, etc, are all wrong, and only your views are right.
will always call others as wrong, and espouse one way of thinking, one way of being right, one true religion
Not called you wrong other than saying you're assuming stuff about me, and getting it all wrong.

Oneness is all religions are One, thus it is hardly saying only one way is right; that is your own idea.

Fair enough, would like to understand all the religions, and make a simpler guide for everyone, with all the facts we're aware of globally, based upon science and religions as one; thus within that united understanding, all the religions would still be available, there would just be a guide that a child could follow.
Studying religions and figuring out where they are wrong
In a world full of delusion, if we're not looking at where things are wrong already, then clearly we'd be confused.
then calling them not original
Stating historical facts isn't adharmic; if people have built a house on faulty foundations, and you show them it will fall over, trying to help people out of ignorance is dharma.
Are you claiming to be Kalki Avatara?
Saying I've been asked to do some of the things referenced, and known i was an avatar with a sacred name, since about 4/5 years old. :innocent:

Peace

Namaste,

It isn't a reward or punishment, it is a choice; everything is all about our frequency, we can't be in pure consciousness, whilst we're impure.

If you mean that we cant Realize our own Advaita Atman because of our own ignorance of our essential nature as Brahman, then i would agree.

People aren't sent to the basement, they stay there, as they didn't realize they were full of their own self, and not living a life of Oneness;.

If by "full of their own self", you mean that we are attached to our AhamKara (Not full of our Atman which does not make sense) then I would maybe agree, but calling this a Hell where we are i tend not to agree with that.

Not condemning anyone, this is just the way things work from my experience; not some ancient religious texts, passed down and misunderstood.

Well, that is what i said, in your view/experience many Hindus are in your version of Hell.

So all the Hindus who use the term God for Brahman, like this website, etc, are all wrong, and only your views are right.

Thanks for the site, now i had a quick search of Brahman being in heaven (as per your experience), did not find such teachings, they do use the term "God", and they have (from my understanding of the website) used it for explanation purposes for those who are not familiar with the many concepts of Brahman because in many places they do mention "Brahman the God of the Hindus", this tells me that this is for those not conversant with Hindu concept of Brahman. The website has clearly defined the term God in relation to Brahman, and have used Brahman more explicitly rather then just calling it God, some links even criticize the concept of Dvaita thought including the Idea that Atman goes to Heaven and is separate from Brahman. The Mahavakyas mentioned such as "Aham Brahmasmi", clearly advocate Advaita of Brahman and Atman which you do not agree with as you have indicated many times. This website has not in so far as i can see advocated a external God that we experience after death in Heaven, which is your experience.

And They could have done away with the term GOD altogether because they define Brahman in many of the Links, and yes i dont agree with this websites use of God to label Brahman.

This website does not align with your idea of the Impure self.

Oneness is all religions are One, thus it is hardly saying only one way is right; that is your own idea.

But the saying that "all religions are One" is your own idea imposed on the plurality and clear differences in religions we see. This is what Im getting at.

In a world full of delusion, if we're not looking at where things are wrong already, then clearly we'd be confused.

If the world is full of delusion, then what is the guarantee that your view, and your entire experience was also not a delusion as well?

Stating historical facts isn't adharmic; if people have built a house on faulty foundations, and you show them it will fall over, trying to help people out of ignorance is dharma.

If the world is deluded, what counts you out of delusion? Historical facts are also delusion arent they? finding faults in peoples foundations is also delusion, NDE are also delusion, Prophets, Texts, Heaven all are delusion.

Saying I've been asked to do some of the things referenced, and known i was an avatar with a sacred name, since about 4/5 years old. :innocent:

Soooo you are claiming to be Kalki???

If by "full of their own self", you mean that we are attached to our AhamKara
When the ego (AhamKara) blinds us to seeing what our soul (Atman) has become, that our soul is full of self orientated thoughts, we've then moved away from Brahman into further ignorance.
calling this a Hell where we are i tend not to agree with that.
Here is like the top floor of ignorance (Maya); lower than here is further away from being one with Brahman, to the point it becomes pure darkness.
in your view/experience many Hindus are in your version of Hell.
Many people are there, not just Hindus; this world of desires leads many to serve their ego/self, before Oneness.
they do use the term "God"
As do many other sites/people, that is all that was being referenced; yet thank you for reading the whole site.
This website does not align with your idea of the Impure self.
The self isn't impure to begin; it depends on what we make it.
But the saying that "all religions are One" is your own idea imposed on the plurality and clear differences in religions we see.
All religions are created by mankind of what we think about the divine, therefore all are One...They've all got different takes on it, which makes them all One.

Oneness is the ultimate goal of the religions, Oneness between each other, Oneness between us and God, Oneness being the ultimate state of consciousness we can attain.
If the world is full of delusion, then what is the guarantee that your view, and your entire experience was also not a delusion as well?
It could be, and am open to questioning all aspects of it, which is why I've shared it online with many, to see what opinions are offered contrary, only then can we examine all possibilities.
Historical facts are also delusion arent they?
Yeah his-story is always told by the victor, thus history books are heavily edited to suit someone's opinions, and not necessarily all facts.
finding faults in peoples foundations is also delusion
Purposefully going out of your way to prove others wrong, is just adharmic, and shows weak character.

Yet investigating different subjects, and on investigation finding a clearer understanding, based on what is within it, is trying to help people, which is dharmic.

Now fair enough there is the possibility the person who investigates, could be completely irrational, and thus when they share with people, they could reject all of it as nonsense...

Yet as long as it is only sharing, it is only another opinion, in a world full of millions of them.
NDE are also delusion
Individually any case can be examined for its own merits; there is no way to state all NDEs are delusion, as atheists often do.
Prophets, Texts, Heaven all are delusion.
Again each has to be assessed based on if it adds up with evidence.

Thus prophecy that has come to pass, substantiates it as having some merit; yet we shouldn't then expect all of it to be true, just as one bit is.

Text that has good moral understanding can be informative; yet doesn't mean it is all right, just that some bits make sense.

Heaven is recorded in multiple texts, people's NDEs, seen within Quantum physics; it isn't within the realm of Maya, therefore it isn't delusion, it is the people here who choose not to believe it exists, when all the evidence suggest otherwise.
Soooo you are claiming to be Kalki???
Nope, saying I'm an avatar, who has been asked to do certain things before the coming of an age of Godliness, which apparently sort of fits with some Hindu beliefs. :innocent:

Namaste,

Here is like the top floor of ignorance (Maya); lower than here is further away from being one with Brahman, to the point it becomes pure darkness.

I dont think we can ever be "Away", from Brahman, well at least not the Hindu version of Brahman.

As do many other sites/people, that is all that was being referenced; yet thank you for reading the whole site.

you welcome.

It could be, and am open to questioning all aspects of it, which is why I've shared it online with many, to see what opinions are offered contrary, only then can we examine all possibilities.

Only if the world was not in delusion could we even examine all possibilities.

Individually any case can be examined for its own merits; there is no way to state all NDEs are delusion, as atheists often do.
Again each has to be assessed based on if it adds up with evidence.

If the world is really delusional, then everything is nonsense.

Thus prophecy that has come to pass, substantiates it as having some merit; yet we shouldn't then expect all of it to be true, just as one bit is.
Text that has good moral understanding can be informative; yet doesn't mean it is all right, just that some bits make sense.

If we take Maya to mean delusion, then nothing will make sense, especially things prophesied in a book.

Heaven is recorded in multiple texts, people's NDEs, seen within Quantum physics; it isn't within the realm of Maya, therefore it isn't delusion, it is the people here who choose not to believe it exists, when all the evidence suggest otherwise.

Special pleading, does not negate the idea that Heaven/Hell ect are all Maya.

Nope, saying I'm an avatar, who has been asked to do certain things before the coming of an age of Godliness, which apparently sort of fits with some Hindu beliefs.

Avatar of who?

I don't know any more. Since I first joined this forum, I've seen several people who claimed to be enlightened, one or two who claimed to be God, and a few claiming to be avatars. Makes you wonder. Of course this is in addition to of all the people who just claim to be right. Seems this idiot (referring to myself) is really outnumbered. Oh well, maybe next lifetime I'll get it.

Since matter and energy are pretty much the same, I guess we COULD be impure and pure consciousness at the same time? :)

Here are my poetic thoughts on it. :innocent:

I don't know, that is why i was asking everyone, as would mean studying all Hindu text to find it...

Yet all we've got is a load of flack about Christian ideology....

Read the Kalki Purana, found some quotes that fit; yet some of the stuff is well off.

1:28
In Kah-yuga, a person with a lot of money will naturally be respected as a great soul. If a twice-born person earns his livelihood by lending money on interest, he will be considered a pillar of society. The sannydsls of Kah-yuga will be attached to home and property, and householders will become devoid of all power of discrimination. In Kah-yuga, people will blaspheme a spiritual master or other elderly person without hesitation. Indeed, people in general will simply become hypocrites, liars, and cheaters

The bit about bankers who charge interest/usury being respected, is clearly our time.

2:28
The four exalted brahmanas offered their obeisances unto Lord Visnu, who had assumed the form of a human being. They very well understood that Lord Kalki had appeared to rid the earth of all those who had become degraded to the level of sinful demons.

3:26
By the influence of this horse and parrot, the people of the world will know You as a learned scholar of all scriptures who is a master of the art of releasing arrows, and thus the conqueror of all.

Hinduism isn't one single religion; it is an umbrella title for many different religious groups. What they have in common is that they evolved from the Vedic scriptures.

All of the Hindu scriptures combined is more than any other religion. Much, much more. Even each individual Hindu branch/sect has more scripture than any other religion.

Most Hindus, I believe, uphold the Vedas (which is a lot of text). Many, probably most, uphold the Bhagavad Gita. Most also seem to take the Ramyana and Mahabharata seriously. Beyond those, I am not sure which texts are important to -all/most- Hindus. Certainly the Puranas are significant but I do not know if non-Vaishnava Hindus read them.

Well uh... I've read pretty much everything on those 8 pages and... And uh...

*sigh*

To be honest there is nothing left to add, at least on the Hindu side. A lot of Hindus have answered the question, people have explained, been patient, nice, I think there is nothing left to say..... Or to try to say, it would be mumbling to a wall. And walls are not well known for being great listeners.

Cherry picking in whatever translation of a purana you find doesn't makes you an expert on HInduism, nor it really gives you any credit for what you're apparently trying to insist on. It's okay to agree that we disagree and to acknowledge that we have different views, just please don't try to do this kind of things to a complex religion you don't have an understanding on and don't seems to be honest trying to have any.

We respect your beliefs, please respect ours too ? Insisting like that on those things without listening to what people say, can lead people to believe things about your intentions, like Vinayaka said (And I join him on that)

Sorry not to be able to contribute on the philosophical/theological/whatever aspect of this thread, but as a Hindu I have nothing to add to what have already been said by my fellows.
