Namaste,

Due to many other issues in life I couldn't spend time on...

Namaskar,
I have read this question before and people usually have differing views about it. The question is much more complex than it looks.

Namaste Shiva Fan

Yes that is the wisdom that Rg Veda talks about!

Namaskar Omkara
Why can't people of Narayanastra blog post here directly and why do they need a messenger to put their views here? I do not have anything against people believing in Vaishnavism...

Namaste Amrut
I cannot agree more that vedanta is end of knowledge. But there is difference between reading Upanishads and understanding their essence. Only a realised soul understands the essence...

Namaste Amrut,

I can see your logic behind recommending Smritis. You assume that the person is not mature enough to handle dense non-dual philosophy to begin with. But I will like to say that...

Namaskar

Read the Upanishads - they depict great philosophical wisdom. Read Shiva Sutras and other such texts which will teach you true nature of Shiva. One other text that I will advise is...

Dear Smith Ji Namaskar,

There isn't any more powerful or less powerful Vedic mantra if you speak spirituality wise. The 'OM' signifies the last or beyond manifest or absolute state of Brahman,...

Namaste Prateek,

Hinduism is a religion. It is based on truth of Vedas and while it is not a marketable product like some other religions it certainly has qualities to make it count as religion.

Namaskar,

I will also like to add that Akshaya Tritiya falls on eve of the birthday of Bhagwan Parashuram, who is the sixth incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu. I wish everyone an auspicious Akshaya...

A religion written or followed with intention of dividing society into groups (Right vs Wrong) does not have any truth in it. What is important is what you take of your religion. A non-sectarian...

Namaskar Webimpulse Bhai,

Hope you will keep up the good energy. Best of luck for your interviews.

Namaste VVV

Your question has a very clear answer - NO.

Namaste,

I was in Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan for a week recently and what I saw was exactly opposite of what you say. There were tons of rituals that Buddhists practiced. In the morning they would...

Namaste,

That's your understanding of God. Not wrong at all. BUT God is the also the guy who our shastras depict as living in Himalayas as a Yogi. That you are unable to identify him as God would...

Namaste,


To believe in God and to love God are two different things. I do not care if God is real or not. I love Shiva and Parvati- What they represent. The idea of God is enough for me. That...

Namaskar Jaskaran,

There are some contradictions. For example - Kautilya is described as living in a different era than Chandragupta maurya, which is absurd. Different accounts from Jain...

Thanks a ton for the link. I will definitely check this book when I get the time. Bangladesh is a country which interests me. That is because, unlike Pakistan, not everything is...

Namaskar EM ji,

You make a very good point which I have also pondered over many times. The end result of natha sampradaya is same as Advaita Vedanta school. Only the initial practices differ.
