The Theosophical Society is great not because anything that passes as Theosophical doctrines, but because it supports freedom of thought, it encourages each individual member to walk his/her own spiritual path, it promotes the study of philosophy, religion, art, and science, and above all...

Wow! I never thought that the little essay about the Name of God would produce so many commentaries. Nevertheless what I said in the original post stands. My spirituality is not Bible based. I believe in God. I do not believe that God has a name for I strongly believe that God is beyond...

"They call Him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, and He is heavenly nobly-winged Garutman. To what is One, sages have given many Names: they call It Agni, Yama, Matarishvan." Rig Veda I:164:46

It is a very physical place. It is were I perform my sadhana (spiritual practice). It also has a small library with some interesting spiritual books in both English and Spanish. Spiritual friends have always been welcome.:) Hermano Luis

Mee, I do not recognize the Bible or any other Sacred Book to be the Word of God. I am convinced that there is a Supreme Being whom I call God or I could call by any other name. I like calling God the Beloved One. If my words have offended your spiritual sensibiliy, please forgive me. That...

Every Name that I have discovered of God "has great meaning in it." It is importance that you fill that Name with you Love, and then use It to invoke God either by chanting It or repeating It in profound silence. You will surely discover God's presence as Ever-New-Joy in your heart. :)...

The Hermitage is more of an Oratory. It is dedicated to the contemplative life in the world.:) Hermano Luis

I enjoy all kind of music. I was trained as a classical musician, and I do enjoy classical music to a great degree. Is there a relationship between the music that I like and my spiritual life? I do not know. My spiritual training did include devotional chanting, but I prefer silence or the...

My position is, has been, and will continue to be that mankind can call God by as many Names as it wants to, but if those Names are not infused with our devotion, with our love, they are meaningless... they are simply words. To insist that ONLY the Name of God that is used by "my religion" is...

I doubt very much that God is a problem, but our perception of God could be a problem. It is our perception or understanding of God that probably inspires us to act. The way I understand it is that we -- human beings -- are the problem. Hermano Luis Moriviví Hermitage

My good friend "leastone," I appreciate you words in answer to my post, but above all I appreciate you Faith. I am a strong believer in God, but I am not a Christian nor do I have anything against Christianity. My spirituality is based on Universal Hindu Vedanta. I do not recognize one...

I am sure that the Beloved One will will recieve your love no matter how you chant His/Her Names. Hermano Luis Moriviví Hermitage

I have a three year old grandson. He has already discovered the miracle of language, but of course his pronunciation is still not perfect. He calls me by various names; grandfather in Spanish is "abuelo" so my grandson calls me "avelo" sometimes it sounds like "avela" (which sounds like "abuela"...

How do I pray? I pray in silence. To me contemplative silence is the greatest prayer. But I also talk to God as if God were a person. Hermano Luis Moriviví Hermitage

My parents were Roman Catholic Christians. My mother was very devout, she would say the Rosary every evening, and go to church every Sunday and feast day. My father was a liberal Christian, he was also a Freemason. I felt, even as a child, that God was for everyone. I was curious about God...

I have just registered in this forum. I live in the North-Eastern Caribbean... in Puerto Rico to be more specific. I have dedicated some fifty years of my life to the spiritual search. I grew up within a Universalist Vedanta tradition, but I have enjoyed studying religions throughout my life...
