Hi Agnidevi yes indeed, although I'm no expert. What strikes me the most is the mention of alternative universes, Hinduism seems to have come up with some incredable thoughts that are only now, in the light of modern science, becoming established. If you care to put down your thoughts on...

:) Opps!! as soon as I posted this the links worked, so I've answered my own question! I, Brian please remove if you feel like it. Sorry to waste your time!!

Hi All I have this annoying habit of visiting sites cut and pasting into Word and neglecting to make a note of what it actually is or from which site it comes from. I hope the clever people on this forum could help. Very radical I'm sure you'll agree.....Any ideas? Piece to All

Thank You Yaqinud Din Lots of good information here, will check the links when I have time. Just one question for now what does AH mean? Peace:)

Hi All Following on from my thread The First Qur’an I was wondering if there are any movements within Islam to reinterpret the Qur’an,as many denominations of Christianity have reinterpreted the Bible (homosexuality/women priests ect..) over the past century (or so). I’d be grateful for...

Hi All I Am Free, of course you are right, any scripture should be taken witha pinch of salt, as they are all third party accounts, Unless God has kept a diary :) AdniDevi, Sorry but I got this from an Islamic site and presumed that they translated it correctly, apollogies if they are a...

Hi All this is a great discussion. I have a few quotes on this subject taken from various Hindu texts. Thought you guys might find them interesting. Peace :)

Hi Brian I can’t find any references (at least on the net) to your inquiry. However of we are analogous to the present, yes the UK as of the middle part of the 18th century did (obviously) have a greater industrial base then the rest of the world, but this does not necessarily equate to a...

Hi All...sorry havent read all of this thread but was struck by the comments on this post by Amica. Amica, this sounds just like The Crusades againt Islam by Europeans when ALL of Christianity was against islam (which is not the case at the moment, witness Kosovo), it seems that the Mah'di...

Namaste Vajradhara The Portugese I refer to were the ones that invaded and took over Goa. As far as I know (at this time) Christianity was only located in this state. My information on this comes from a documentary (on TV) a number of years ago, I'll have to do some research and get back to...

The reason why there isn’t any evidence of St Thomas's time in India is that when the Portuguese arrived (16 century? could be earlier) they saw an established Christian society that wasn’t under the edict of Rome and therefore by definition heretical...they then proceeded to demolish all traces...

Hello Brian economic history is a relitively new subject but my information comes from Angus Maddison and a qoute from Wikipedia for you, please read : - The fact that Britain had overstratched itself over the two world wars does not negate the fact that India had been reduced to a...

Hi All, There's no denying that The British influenced India (like all invaders have) however we must bare in mind that at the time of the British takeover India was the second largest economy in the world at the time of independance the Indian state had been reduced to that of a "third word"...

Hello Bandit and thankyou for the reply. I think you misunderstand my point. Church’s and Temples and Mosques will remain for ritual. However a universal temple would be an adjunct to them as a forum for uniting the various practitioners of faith (to) come together in a non fundamentalist...

Interesting spin and I think this is at the heart of the matter. In a universal temple you wouldnt need to tell anyone else they are wrong only to respect others as you yourself would want to be respected. And as a Hindu, I wouldnt dream of telling anybody their faith is wrong, that's just bad...

Yes and there are laws installed to counter balence this, also the European convention on Human Rights...I think they are doing something (and have done) right now about it. Its just too easy to see the flaws in others without addressing ones own.

Islam is over 1000 years old. Plenty of time to re-address the balence. I've noticed that Pre-Islamic Arabia seems to be the stock answer to all un easy observations.

hi all I havent had time to read the whole thread...but I think the concept of a universal temple is a great one. The idea that we could worship together from differing faiths would surley be a resounding counter balence to the extremist and fundamentalists that seem to dominate any discussion...

Well as an Idian decent living in Britain I'd never heard of Ram Mohon Roy. The fact that he never gets mentioned is an indication that the British have an agenda in stating that they "civilised" India by (as an example) abolishing sati. When, as mentioned before, it was a very limited number...

The ironic thing in all of this, in terms of empasis between the Christian Eve and the Islamic Eve is that there have been quite a few strong female leaders from Christian societies and I see no sign of such a woman emerging from an Islamic state. If Eve was the temptress then Christians seemed...
