Hello Intrepid, To echo the words of Wil, in my experience the journey doesn't stop once you get off the train - it just takes a different format. More like a jungle treck or walk into the mountains. There is a world beyond the train station. Lol! I've never been a person who feels a...

This all sounds very familiar Wil, Lol! As for Buddhist & Hindu monks in the same car - now I bet that was interesting. You'll have to share it with us sometime. Namaste, ... Neemai :)

I genuinely feel there is a sublime truth in this, which becomes especially apparent when surrounded by a natural environment. Krishna describes it beatifully in the Bhagavad-Gita: BG 9.4: By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in...

If there was more than one God then God would no longer be God, he'd be a god. Not many people believe in God and gods (possibly only within some paths of Hinduism - havn't seen it anywhere else?). It's normally a question of God vs false gods - i.e my God is God, your 'God' is false. Unless...

Welcome to the forums Intrepid, :) I went on a similar mission some years ago (with an open mind) and ended up coming to the same conclusion! Gud on ya' for escaping the other forum! Will look forward to your future input in CR. Best wishes, ... Neemai :D

thankyou for posting Jack. I was just thinking about InLove yesterday. Please tell Debbie that our prayers are with her. Hare Krishna ... Neemai

Re: -----====(@_@)====----- No, (at least according to Vaishnava scripture) God is completely self-satisfied. It is us that need the relationship with God, not the other way around. So what are the teachings exactly? I'm gathering from what you've said that God is viewed more in an...

in many Vaishnava temples people will give talks regarding the example of Jesus' life around this time. The difference being that the stories are viewed from the perspective of Christ being a perfect devotee of God, or ideal person or Avatar, rather than the exclusive son of God. People from a...

Re: -----====ooo000ooo====----- Lol. Nick do you know how condescending that sounds? :D (Please note that I am saying this in good humour) What I said was: to know God, and to Love God - that is religion (from my personal context). This works perfectly well within the Gaudiya-Vaishnava...

These were also my thoughts when I read the article. Universal religious acceptance (or similar) becomes a meaningless statement once you start having solid beliefs of your own and accepting them as ultimate truths. I don't neccessarily see this as a bad thing, but it is a mixed-message...

I don't think there has to be a special time of the year to celebrate all these things, but because lots of other people are "in the mood" at Christmas it seems to be a good time to focus on that side of things. Giving gifts and going the extra mile to help people out. A local greetings card...

Hi Nick, I think that in the dictionary it is described as a form of faith, or set of philosophical beliefs, which is good as a universal meaning that we can all use, but personally I believe that to know God, and to love God - that is religion. I wouldn't expect this to be a widely accepted...

Hi there Bruce, I was reading a few Theosophy related articles from around the web recently and when coming across this I thought no it's not a religion, it more a universal organisation: This organization's objectives are To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without...

according to Vaishnava theology: Human life is a chance for us to turn back towards God. We are His seperated parts and parcels. Some choose to live with God eternally, others think hey "let me be independent" and voila - the material universe is created for us to all play at being so. Once we...

I've found this research really interesting recently. Panspermia is a pretty far-out theory as well. Sound plausible? Panspermia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... Neemai :)

Can we do more than one? I'd like to visit India approx 5,000 years ago with a digital camera - the Indus Valley, ancient Saraswati river area, Dwarka region before the floods. It would be worth it just to stop all the arguments between modern historians, although the real purpose would be to...

Hello LoveGod, thank you for your post. In a nutshell my response is : I don't know exactly, but it would appear that there is a divine purpose behind this world which we can choose to elevate ourselves towards through sincerely performed spiritual [and morale] practices and by meeting...

I like that. There is saying along similar lines by Rabindranath Tagore which Srila Prabhupada often quotes: "Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism, while philosophy without religion is mental speculation." ... Neemai :)

17th! Lol. That's another one for the charts ... ;-) What makes it even more noteworthy is the powerful truth behind it. Arjuna said: O descendant of Vrishni, by what is one impelled to sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if engaged by force? Sri Krishna replied: It is lust only, Arjuna...
