Namaste ZN,

I think what works, as you said, is the best path to walk.
Comment from a loved one just yesterday, made this crystal clear for me; When we develop and become our own true nature,...

Speaking of evangelical Christians there was a documentary released some time ago which exposed a most loathsome tactic in building their "army" for Christ.

DearSatay,
Where from is this verse?

It's beautiful
Were you there?

Namaste Nirotu,

Yes I agree there is very much that can be learned from the contributors of this and other discussions here. We agree on that at least, and some other points. A...

I think Goswami said that if you eat food prepared by a wicked person you will become wicked.
It could be the vibrations from the agitated mind of the cook go into the food and then into the...

Namaste Willie,
Interesting, I did not see it that way. I always saw the story as putting Jabala in a very good light. Because in spite of her plight and the condition of her life, she was not so...

Namaste Yajvan,

Thank you for the story and please do continue. I read about Satyakama some time ago and loved it. "Listening" as you tell it is even better than the reading.

Hari Om

Dear Mr. Nirotu,

I take exception to your habit of pulling references in part and inserting them into your own vehicle to fabricate a half-baked theory for the purpose of slinging pebbles at...

Namaste Atanu,

I appreciate your clarifications. Comprehension is still emerging in me. I have only some small beginning of understanding, and constantly strive for clarity. Thank you for...

I am not any authority on Advaita or Vedanta either, I am a student like you, but you may find this "definition" pleasing; I like it very much:

Mundaka Upanishad II, Second Khanda

Dear Satay,
I believe it will be impossible to define "Lord" until that time when one is able to define "self" for it is only by the mirror of self that Lord can be perceived.

Namaste Manji

What are the qualities that most appealed to you in Buddhism and attracted you to it?

Hare Hare

It is very interesting and puzzling. Can you give us the characteristics of some other core numbers?

In my childhood there was a saying about a "7th son of a 7th son" being a situation of...

This is really quite beautiful to contemplate. I see what you mean by devotion must be focused and one-pointed and must come from true bhakta, and that devotion is lacking which is given without...

Namaste Yajvan,
Thank you for the post, and for inviting Members to bring their skills and knowledge. I have little of either but if you would humor me on comments?
I like your questions, and I...

Namaste,
I try to maintain my silence and learn, but I have to call your bluff on this one Willie.
Churches and other non-profit orgs in the United States are under no legal obligation or...

Me too! Sometimes I think we just need a moment of separation from the daily insanity of life. That few minutes of connection with the Omniscient One recharges and strengthens

Thank you to Yajvan and Agnideva for insights and explanations in addressing my question..
Contemplating on the sap of the tree as Atman and the Tree itself as physicalbody, or even Tree as the...

Atman becomes different according to whatever it enters. A beautiful concept for sure.

“And It exists also without.” seems to say that Atman also exists without entering a physical body,...

For me, the Lord has been my greatest teacher all my life. Years ago in constant tears I asked the Lord for nearness to Him and He

If I cannot forgive myself
For all the blunders

Over the years,

How can I ever

Thanks for the welcome.. hope I can have some thoughts good enough to post ;)
There's a lot of reading to do.

Mmm! I love peppermint tea :)

Namaste,



If I may interrupt ,
I am curious as to what is relevance of the 6% of Vedas that is refered to?

To correct a small point , the NT was originally in Greek yes, but the OT was...

I apologize for interjecting in this conversation, and at this late date too! I am slowly working my way through some of the threads here, and trying to digest this one. Slow, partly for lack of...

I am not sure what you mean YogSadhak, where did I speak about usage of salt?

Namaste Yog,

I think it is also used to induce vomiting in case of poisoning if no syrup of ipacec is on hand.

I think it does too.
I have seldom read anything truer than this quote. It is very humbly beautiful.

All the books and scriptures in the world are just human interpretations. Good for...

Namaste friends,
Thank you Satay, YogSadhak, and Agnideva for sharing your experiences with fasting. I apologize for the long time since posting last; my schedule is a bit intense lately.
Satay, I...

Thank you Satay and others for your thoughtfulness in providing this forum. I can see there is a river of knowledge here at HDF of the combined wisdom and experiences of all of you. I haven't very...

Namaste,

In my very unscholarly opinion, Arjun's struggle with moral issues of going to war with his kin, and his confusion about duty and the nature of life and death are the very traits that...

Sounds wonderful, and very beautifully described! Thank you for sharing it.

Namaste Willie,



Would you mind giving your source of reference for claiming the inaccuracy of the "old testament version" of the Jews' exodus from Egypt?

Thank you Saidevo, Agnideva and Ganeshprasad for your kind welcome.
And so nice to meet other appreciators of Mira's poetry.

I would like to say hello and I am also very happy to have found this forum. I am looking forward to learning a lot from these discussions and in turn I wil try to share what I can.

Namaste Friends,

This is another good point, and I tend to agree.

My understanding is that the digestive process is designed to accommodate fermentation, which is how vegetation breaks down. ...
