No, dattaswami is not a human incarnation of the Lord No, we will not accept dattaswami as an avatar. :eek:

Namaste Dattaswami, Anil, ansa et. al I see that after hiding behind several identities on Hindu Dharma Forums and being banned from there...you are now spamming this board. What you are posting here is nothing to do with Hinduism. You are simply spamming this discussion forum.

"You are more likely to reduce total development time by spending more time in upstream activities, no less. After surveying more than 4000 projects, Capers Jones reported that the software industry on the whole is probably about 35 percent efficient. The other 65 percent of the time is spent...

namaste! goodness, I don't recall even writing the OP it has been such a long time! I think I am real...just have a bad memory. :)

Brahman has no attributes. Brahman can not be known and can not be understood. It is beyond human mind and understanding. Realization that there is no difference in your soul and Brahman is the state of enligtenment. To answer your question I don't think Brahman can be considered as nature but...

Namaste Silver, There are shastras called Dharmashastras. These are set of shastras that outline the Vedic commandments. These shastras deal with questions of materialis, social conduct, sources of law, Laws concerning women, Laws concerning inheritance etc. The most famous of these are...

Hello Devadatta, Thank you for your kind words. I am however, not qualified to speak about Sanatana Dharma. I just give my opinion from time to time if someone asks. You are right though. I have many friends who were christians but never found the 'peace' of mind that they were looking for. It...

Namaste Silver, Indeed you ask a lot of good questions. I will give you my opinion as Hindu. This opinion is based on general observation and in no way is the "official hindu" view whatever that may mean to you. Ekam Sat Vipra...indeed means that there is Only ONE Truth...that's truth with a...

We are real from the relative standpoint.

Did I wake you? :D satay

This is similar to the quesion that 'Awaiting' has asked in another thread. This is an interesting question to say the least. An inquiring mind longs to find satisfactory answers to this and similar questions like is there a soul? is it apart from the body? is there God? Does he care about...
