Yes - "Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name". ;) ... Neemai :D

I've never really thought of name as defining someone in their entirety, or that even being the purpose of a name? Isn't a name basically a word which distinguishes one person from another? - In which case, for those who believe God to be a personal deity what would be the problem in having a...

If you follow one of the traditions of Hinduism, then you can't exactly call it hiding: "You must not use your God-given body for killing god's creatures, whether they are human, animal or whatever." - Yajur Veda 12.32 "In their next lives, such sinful persons will be eaten by the same...

Hello Dauer, it was interesting to hear of your experiences. I too spent some time focusing on my dreams, and kept a dream diary for about 3-4 years. I found that the more I thought of dreams (or dreaming) while awake, the easier it became to remember them. Also, by writing them down straight...

There is even life within rocks. Other Extreme Earth Life ... Neemai :)

From the Bhagavad-Gita: Chapter 2 : Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another...

I read a quote regarding Gandhi that: "among politicians he was a saint, and among saints he was a politician" In one of his books I've vaugely remember Gandhi saying that he saw Jesus's Sermon on the Mount as essentially delivering the same message as that given by Krishna in the...

I would still make the claim that thoughts are activities of the mind, much as motion is the activity of a car. Neither can a car drive without human interaction, nor a mind think without the association of the soul. The road surface, roadsigns, the other car users, passengers, type of car...

I would agree that our free-will is constricted in this world, although not removed entirely. What if this world is the prison? ... Neemai :)

Wherever there is love, there must be free-will. When we missuse our free-will then we have to live here and suffer old-age, disease and death. When we want to use our free-will to love God and his servants, then we can live happily in heaven. :) Our current bodies are all doomed to decay...

In reply to a number of comments : Somebody once told me the story of how a person in coma (for some length of time) upon waking turned to the person by their bedside and said "why didn't you read louder." Their carer had been sitting by the bed each day, reading a book out-loud, even though...

Thankyou to everyone for sharing your thoughts. :) Hello Dondi, I was actually thinking this very thought a few hours ago after taking a short nap. Is it really that we are unconscious, or is it just that we don't remember what was going on when we were asleep? Upon waking suddenly I could...

Consciousness cannot be denied. A body without consciousness is a dead body. As soon as consciousness is removed from the body, the mouth will not speak, the eye will not see, nor the ears hear. A child can understand that. It is a fact that consciousness is absolutely necessary for the...

Here's another recent one: Water vapour found outside our Solar System BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Water vapour found on exoplanet ... Neemai :)

Hello Marb, there are some 108 Upanishads in total. Other important one's would be the Katha & Kena Upanishads and the Isha Upanishad, or Isopanishad. Sri Isopanisad - Isopanishad Katha Upanishad - Katha Upanishad Kena Upanishad - Kena Upanishad Hare Krishna, ... Neemai :)

Hello MW - the information looked incorrect to me. For example Krishna's birth is traditionally held to be in the summer and not around Dec 25th as suggested. Also I have been unable to find a valid source which indicates Horus had 12 disciples? Krishna is said to have incarnated through His own...

That's one of my favourite paintings Andrew :) - Maha Vishnu resting on the causal ocean! It is said that as Vishnu exhales, countless universes are manifested from His body, only to return again on the inward 'breath'. ... Nemai :)

Hello InLove, when something is close to your heart, I think it's a natural reaction to also want to protect it in some way (that's how I'm reading the above?). Or maybe preconceived ideas are there to be broken? ... Neemai :)

Unfortunately this is becoming more popular, but I'd have to strongly question anyone who called themselves a follower of Hinduism, and at the same time eats cow flesh? A bit of a contradiction in terms if you ask me - just like a Christian hit-man? (i.e "thou shalt not kill"). ... Neemai :)
