No, dattaswami is not a human incarnation of the Lord No, we will not accept dattaswami as an avatar. :eek:

Namaste Dattaswami, Anil, ansa et. al I see that after hiding behind several identities on Hindu Dharma Forums and being banned from there...you are now spamming this board. What you are posting here is nothing to do with Hinduism. You are simply spamming this discussion forum.

"You are more likely to reduce total development time by spending more time in upstream activities, no less. After surveying more than 4000 projects, Capers Jones reported that the software industry on the whole is probably about 35 percent efficient. The other 65 percent of the time is spent...

namaste! goodness, I don't recall even writing the OP it has been such a long time! I think I am real...just have a bad memory. :)

Brahman has no attributes. Brahman can not be known and can not be understood. It is beyond human mind and understanding. Realization that there is no difference in your soul and Brahman is the state of enligtenment. To answer your question I don't think Brahman can be considered as nature but...

Namaste Silver, There are shastras called Dharmashastras. These are set of shastras that outline the Vedic commandments. These shastras deal with questions of materialis, social conduct, sources of law, Laws concerning women, Laws concerning inheritance etc. The most famous of these are...

One can not compare the closed system of religion like christianity and islam to the open systems of eastern philosophies especially sanatana dharma. Religions like christianity and islam believe that there is no knowledge outside of the revealed scripture. Sanatana Dharma says something very...

yes, I am! Have we talked there before? Sorry, my memory is full of holes! :) Yes, that's basically it. In fact, it doesn't matter if it is christianity or buddhism (where no God exists)....the idea is based on natural laws. E.g. does gravity care if we believe in it or not, neither does...

Namaste Silver, First of all, to say that Hinduism is something something... doesn't make sense. Since there is no one "official" hindu view. The basic points that all hindus will tell you are: 1. There is life after death i.e. soul incarnates; imlied in that is that such an entity called...

Hello Devadatta, Thank you for your kind words. I am however, not qualified to speak about Sanatana Dharma. I just give my opinion from time to time if someone asks. You are right though. I have many friends who were christians but never found the 'peace' of mind that they were looking for. It...

Namaste Silver, Indeed you ask a lot of good questions. I will give you my opinion as Hindu. This opinion is based on general observation and in no way is the "official hindu" view whatever that may mean to you. Ekam Sat Vipra...indeed means that there is Only ONE Truth...that's truth with a...

We are real from the relative standpoint.

Did I wake you? :D satay

This is similar to the quesion that 'Awaiting' has asked in another thread. This is an interesting question to say the least. An inquiring mind longs to find satisfactory answers to this and similar questions like is there a soul? is it apart from the body? is there God? Does he care about...

You should read advaita philosophy. It is fascinating and in line with what you are describing here. satay

It's all an illusion my friend. Let's try a simple experiment. Cut your whole past away from you - no memory. You don't know who your parents are, what your name is, what you profession is, you don't know to whom you belong- to which country, to which religion, to which race, you know no...

God and creation are not separate. God for one is not an object. It's an idea, a philosophy, a thought. We can not say God created the world or universe. Because that naturally leads to the question of who created God then. There is no "creation"...There just "is" Get it? :p satay

Yes, "I" exist. "I" have been for eons. Gita 2.12 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. satay

Hi lunamoth, Thanks for letting me know about the new posts link. But what does that link do? What's meant by 'new posts'? Are these posts in the last 24 hours or so? What if I wanted to see all posts in the last 7 days...can I search for posts like that? satay

Namaste sama, Have you studied veda? I am just curious. I haven't studied them so why am I asking you. I don't like to quote from veda or gita but look at the translations of shlokas below and tell me if these are not part of veda... He is the sole sovereign Of the universe...
