This is a nice site. I specifically like the theme of this site. Everyone seems very warm and fuzzy over here. I wish though that if there were a link e.g. of the type 'posts in the last 24 hours' or 'posts in the last 7 days' etc. that would be really helpful. I also noticed that by default...

Silence! satay

Oh cool. I will check that out. There is a whole section at the Hindunet forums on just very thing. Check it out if you get some time. http://www.hindunet.com/forum/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=aryaninvasion satay

Namaste Awaiting the fifth, Aryan invasion theory is a propaganda spread by the west specifically the christian missionaries. This theory has been debunked by scholars recently. satay ps: by the way, does your handle awaiting the fifth have a meaning? Just curious...what are you waiting for?

Yes you are correct. The word Sanatana means eternal. Dharma is eternal not only in this earth where mankind is but in this whole universe as well as the multiverse. satay

Dang! :) No, of course not in the buddhist context. Isn't there consciousness ? satay

Aham Brahmasmi! satay

Namaste Awaiting the faith, In the context of Sanatan Dharma at least there is no such thing as Wratful Ishvara. Ishvara as already explained here on this thread is Saguna Brahman i.e. Brhaman with attributes. This saguna brahman is also known as Mahesvra, Isa, Isana etc. Ishvara or Saguna...

No, Buddha never referred to any God or Gods. He said, "Be Aware". What is this "Be Aware"? Be Aware of your "self". What is this "self"? This "self" is your conciousness...your being...in essence it is what makes you "you". Buddha never said that he was searching for light...well, at...

Namaste farhan, No, it's not that hinduism started with veda. The whole creation cycle starts with the veda. There are no older books or divine knowledge. Veda are eternal. Manu smriti is human authorship.

Namaste Postmaster, No problems there...The Kingdom of God is 'within'. satay

Sat sri akal, Why siskhism is under here and not under the more appropriate heading of Eastern Thought? satay

Yes, of course, this is why I don't think christian faith is false. Any faith, school or sect that teaches the love of God can not be false no matter how the message gets corrupted by our gross senses. On the other hand, I also believe Buddhism is a valid path to get to the same entity even...

Namaste Juantoo, Thank you for the warm welcome! Yes, that would be only way to love a "father" i.e. with only love. I agree with your view completely. Though I have met many number of christians who try to convert others by using scare tactics of hell and that sort of stuff. But of course...

Hello Curious Mike, You seem a bit irritated by my post. Irritating anyone was not my intent. To answer your question, No, I am not an atheist. I am in fact an adherent of Sanatan Dharma. My understanding of the bible very well be faulty. Please correct me. What is your understanding of...

Before I got married I thought what's the big deal...I will get married and if the roti she cooks is slightly burned, well, then I will have a reason to kill her alas, she turned out to be a professional cook. My luck! satay ps: okay before you guys forward this post to my wife...I am only...

Namaste Kelcie, Thanks for the response. Obviously, what you say about the emotions etc. is valid. My problem is not with the human emotions per se, my problem is that the men who worte the bible have imagined God as behaving like humans! E.g. the verses about God getting angry and jealous...

Namaste FHL, Yes, I can see the humor in it too albeit it wouldn't be so funny if you were to become a worm or a cockroach yourself in your next life. satay

Namaste Quahom1, I am an adherent of Sanatan Dharma (a hindu). I have been married to my for over 10 years now. She is catholic. We have been living happily under one roof for all these years. No problems of religion in our house. She is free to practice what she chooses. I am free to practice...

I belive that Bible is written by men and inspired by men. Concept of GOD presented in the bible is way too close to the human nature. Anger, jealousy, envy etc. all these are human emotions...Does GOD have these qualities? Should he/she have these qualities? satay
