    Hare Krsna!

    Dandavat pranams to all the forum members here and the moderator who helped activate my account. I'm very pleased to read the wealth of information and happy for the opportunity to share what I can.

    Haribol!

    all respect to everyone, knowing everyone to be the resting place of Kṛṣṇa."

    Namaste,

    Another Hare krishna member !


    Are you a hindu? If no, how did you come to know about hindu dharma ? Why did you prefer hindu dharma over your family religion ?

    I am too krishna devotee. What do you think about krishna ? According to you, who is krishna ?

    The last question : Have you read any hindu scriptures apart from iskcon's books ? What makes you think that iskcon is right ?

    Btw ,welcome to hindu dharma forums. This forum is very special. This is always full of spiritual knowledge.

    Re: Hare Krsna!

    Are you a hindu?
    I shared in another post, a link to the official ISKCON website which states: "
    ISKCON is a religious movement that also identifies itself as The Hare Krishna Movement™. ISKCON belongs to the Gaudiya-Vaishnava sampradaya, a monotheistic tradition within the Vedic and Hindu cultural traditions." http://iskcon.org/

    If no, how did you come to know about hindu dharma ? Why did you prefer hindu dharma over your family religion ?
    My father and mother are both Americans, but my mother's family is Indians from India. This is my religion. Also, it comes to a fine line of potentially being Vaishnava Aparadh to question a Vaishnava based on caste, race or origin whether low, high, or from non-Dharmic background.
    “The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita, 15.7)

    "When a person is admitted into Vishnu's family, he is called a Vaishnava. It has been said that of all people, the Vaishnava is certainly the most exalted."-Padma Purana, Uttara-khanda

    I am too krishna devotee. What do you think about krishna ? According to you, who is krishna ?
    The Supreme Lord has described Himself authoritatively in various scriptures and clarified by the Vani of various Guru Maharajas. The opinion of my conditioned mind is irrelevant.
    The last question : Have you read any hindu scriptures apart from iskcon's books ? What makes you think that iskcon is right ?
    ISKCON is an organization empowered to convey the spiritual teachings of Mahaprabhu Chaitanya under the direction of
    His Divine Grace Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. ISKCON, as a movement studies the Vaishnava scriptures which exist within the Hindu cultural tradition, since HINDU is a continent (Hindustan) and a culture. The RELIGION of the Hindu people is SANATANA DHARMA, which translates as eternally righteous. Vaishnavism in principle is the practice of eternal righteousness, and therefore well fitting into Sanatan Dharm. Members of ISKCON and ISKCON related groups accept the primacy of Srila Prabhupada as Guru Acharya, His Vani is considered authoritative for us.

    Pranam-s,

    The two scriptural quotes you have provided do not address caste/origin in terms of them exclaiming that questioning a Vaishnava in terms of caste, race, origin, etc. is aparAdha/violation.

    The Supreme Lord has described Himself authoritatively in various scriptures and clarified by the Vani of various Guru Maharajas. The opinion of my conditioned mind is irrelevant.
    It would be intellectually honest to mention the mere fact that the above is an opinionated insight derived from opinionated commentaries upon opinionated commentaries.

    ps - Welcome to HDF.

    This was her introductory post. She was nice enough to have answered so many questions to the best of her understanding of the scriptures. Perhaps we should let her settle down in the forum before this heavy hitting "intellectual honesty" stuff. I am just sayin' - a new member deserves better.

    Pranam.

    Namaste,

    On the other hand, it actually may be a good way for the new member to adapt and become comfortable with the rigorous critical thinking type of discourse that occurs on HDF.
