Well I'm not sure about Zeus - but both Jehovah and Krishna claim to be the Supreme God, of all Gods (in a realistic sense) is it not? From Krishna's teachings in the Gita: "Those who are devotees of other gods and who worship them with faith actually worship only Me, O son of Kunti, but they...

Dear Jack - I offer my sincere condolences. Deb will be sorely missed by us here. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to exchange some messages with her before her time of passing. Love & Peace, ... Neemai. "The Supreme Lord is the maintainer of all the innumerable souls...

The self propelled search to realise that there is no self? I wouldn't agree philosophically, but am I reading this right, or lost the plot? It's late on a friday afternoon, so my brain is not functioning at normal speed... Hari Om :) ... Neemai

< ------ Another Mastermind. Yeah, tell me something I don't know ;) Lol

I think there might be something crucial in what you say here. I love communicating with spiritually minded people and teachers via email, but the effect of focusing on the internet could be leaving us (as a society) lacking in other areas. Interesting train of thought ... ... Neemai :)

this is the bit where I jump in wearing robes and playing cymbals and start singing ... :D "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare... " ... Neemai :)

ditto for me as well ...

I'd be tempted to join you 17th... especially after seeing the poster! :D but I'm already spoken for. ;) As someone who follows a religious tradition often termed as a cult I thought I'd throw in a few "insider" opinions. :p Although all Gaudiya-Vaishnava ('Hare Krsna') temples around the...

We have all those things at our disposal, and yet if we want to drive a car the standard process is still to learn under the guidance of a driving instructor. Similarly, if we want to learn how to be a doctor, we still have to go to University for several years to learn both the theory and it's...

Does anyone know what all this stuff is about? :D ... Quoting a recent message: "Im the ambassador of your founder and came to explain you a few things, This decree is a way to grow and keep this region active, none of you have join the forum or done anything to make this region prosperous ...

Was Jesus a Buddhist? Well, I've put some thought into this and come to the following conclusion: If Jesus was a Buddhist he would have - a) followed the teachings of Buddha; b) denounced the existance of any external saviour (i.e. God) c) chanted "Om mani padme hum", or similar d) wore red...

Is it just me, or is this way off the plot somewhere? Surely this thread isn't what this forum should be about? If someone started telling a faithful Muslim how they should interpret the Koran would we not expect some strong defence to the contrary? What's the difference in this case? Is...

Unfortunately all of what Francis says does really go on in the "guru" business. In all walks of life and religions I'm sure. However, in my experience when you meet someone who is actually 'for real', then that meeting is the most priceless thing you can practically have. No amount of...

Namaste Vajra, From the perspective of Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition I'm totally with you on both counts. ... and can also have sympathies on this count. Thought you might like this: He reasons ill who says that the great saints die when thou are living still in sound! The spiritual...

Hi Chris - what's your take on life me ol' China? Or please point me to another thread if you've spelled it out somewhere already. Save your typing fingers... Namaste, ... Neemai :)

I love this quote - it agrees, in a form of great simplicity, with a lot of the above comments. a wide variety of backgrounds with varied, but similarly peaceful/tolerant, ethos'. ... Neemai :)

Dear Jack, our thoughts are with Deborah and yourself. From the above she sounds like a true spiritual soldier. Hare Krishna ... Neemai.

No, personally I wouldn't. I respect the Bible as a sacred text (especially the new testament), but as a non-Christian it's not an important issue to me. However I wouldn't see it as incorrect for someone of a Christian persuasion to see the Bible in this way, as long as they didn't enforce...

I'd like to ask this question of everyone just to see how it varies amongst us. Should the purpose of discussing on these forums be to establish some concensus of ultimate truth through argument? If that is our purpose then what would the value of such a concensus be, as these forums are only a...

You say that like it's a bad thing(?), but for many followers of Hinduism this is one of the core teachings. "If one has unflinching faith in the Supreme Lord and the spiritual master, the essence of all Vedic knowledge is revealed to him." (Svetasvatara Upanishad 6.23) ... Neemai :) P.S -...
