Respected Members I am new here and don't know whether I posted the topic in the right place or not . I am a little bit confused regarding Lord shiva statue . Which type statue is the best for home as dhyan mudra , blessing, sitting in folding legs or hanging a leg or four hands or two hands etc . Which color is the best ? Someone advised me that lord shiva without any snake is the best. Is it true ? Will any knowledgeable person help me please ! Regards.

Thanx for writing dere are few faults in your writing. 1.The brain child company u had written was actually a propritership name staring from M 2.tHE CASE WAS NOT OF INCOME TAX but of pan card. 3.His birth calcutlations were wrong.He was borne on 21st but the astrologer put it 22 becaus of which his nakshatra changed from pushya to ashlesha and being from a brahming family where birth chart are given importance he suffered a lot & to take out exact solution he lernt astrology himself. 4.His father was not a wound doctor he was in army first den opened a business related to milk.Actually his evry thing is realted to lord krishna,d village in which he was borne and the district have name of things associated with lord krishna,d nakshtra in which he was borne also represents cow and d day he was borme he was the 8th child after 7 girls in that hospital. 5.Yes he was told much early that he has 2 wifes but he hasn't able to accept dis phenomena even till now. 6.Yes his operational and birth place are different. 7.Yes he didn't know anything about avtaar in begining but while going to extreme limits of knowledge he discoverd this for d first time on net. 8.He was always having money to pay telephone expense actually dat day he was having fever,and dere was raining and to add this his cell stopped catching signal because he was broken mentally and physically dat day he changed d decision to continue,next day he found dat work is successful but d decision once changed was changed. 9.Yes his gurus are Movies,nature,people. 10.Whatever u had written u had written it in 2005 at dat time he was about 21 and most of these things happened with him after 2005.For eg. his opertional country change his knowing his identity etc etc. 11.U had written dat puranas are based on intution,let me repeat u..all d persons writing on him are neither fully right nor wrong Even the puranas to nastradmusare not wrong as like new age persons with intution powers. Yes he is borne on thursday as predicted by nastradmus but this was a hindu thursday which ends on sunrise of next day i.e on friday acc to english,borne in a brahmin family which earns not by doing poojas in pushya nakshatra as predicted by puranas and how much right and wrong u r i'd written here. Of all the posts about kalki u had got the worst comments and since 7 yrs u haven't remove them.U can remove dem my freind your purpose for which u had posted has fulfilled.Thanx for writing.Only a true devottee of lord krishna can write dis. If any other person who reads this, u can understand me fraud,decieving, creating attention whatever u can neither i'll comment on anything nor i'll give any reply and neither any1 can contact me .Or u can say d person whom u says decieving others i'm playin joke with him If u says mad to any person just remember dey are also creature of god

This comment ios only for this Post writer.You had a great intution power.Onlya true devotee of lord krishna can be blessed so much.Subjectively u r right too much extent.Few faults- 1.His brain child company's name was mindboosters and actually it was properitorship. 2.He was always having money to pay telephone expenses but on the deciding day his cell was not getting any signal,he was in fever at that time and d day was rainy,he broke mentally as he has taken money from market so he take d decision to close the work,but the very next day the market turned in his favour but d decision taken was can't be changed. 3.Yes,this is true he knows much early that he will have 2 wifes but he never accepted this,may be not even till now. 4.Yours post is in 2005 at dat time he was just only 21 and the mostly incidents u'd written about him happened after 2005 for eg,u had written dat his operatiobnal field and birth place wil be different this is d incidence of 2012. 5.About his birth calculations-Ya dey were wrong,d pandit who made his janamkundly was famous one but he made a mistake in it,he was born on 21 dat pandit write 22,on 21 it was pushya and on 22 it was ashlesha nakshatra,so d astrologer on front page write 22 with pushya nakshatra,and as time passed and he grew up only front page was remaining,to whoever astrologer he gives the front page to make birth chart dey make it according to 22 calculating ashlesha,he has thousands and lakhs of q/s in his mind but no astrologer was ever able to solve his any q/s,the only help he get from a sage with powerful intution powers who just by looking him told dat shani is yours nakshatras lord which is pushya,dat sage has told him about 2 marriages and few facts like godess lakshmi will never left you,but why astrologers are failing he learnt astrology and he got all the answers yes almighty wants persons not to see his birth calculation right. 6.U had written dat he read a book about avtaara,den he start searching,no he didn't read a book he serched first it on net,before that he didn't know anything about avtaara anything actually he was just exploring hidden facts about hinduism and astrology then he just starting opening layers after layers of this avtaara phenomena,and he understand the matter but as he is a calm guy and mostly things says about destruction from him he just said to the power i'll not fulfill your work and in turn power communicated with him in such a way which i can't discuss. 7.The matter u had written about of income tax was actually a pan card case. 8.U had written his father was a wound doctor,no his father was first in army den he opened a business related to milk.Actually his evrything is related to symbols of lord krishna.The village in which he was born is related to name of thing which shrikrishna has in hands,district in which he is borne has name of community which shrikrishna represents,d hospital in which he was born he was the 8th child after 7 girls,d nakshatra in which he is borne represnts cow 9.Yes he is the only son of his parents. 10.About intution powers u had written dat dey are never write fully etc etc...let me analyze dem.... There are few writers who regularly post on kalki avtaara,Yes dey all had intution power and dis intution powers are god given powers,in utilizing them it is my request pls don't become so strong dat u forget dat u r just analysing not givin d judgement.No one is right and neither any one is false. From puranas to nastradmus to any writer all are right,but still how much right dey are no person on this earth is given the powers to analyze dem.I am writing this because a man is critizing puranas and praising gita for kalki avtaara.U can't do this. Now why i had written all dis- Of all the posts i had read on kalki avtaara u had got the worst comments although u'd written it most perfectly and described in d best way,i never wnt to comment ony any post on this issue but dis post written 7 years ago,and still not removed after adverse comments u should be praised,or u can say may b the power which had forced u to write all this had forced me to comment on this post and say thanx to u for completing your work sucssessfully,who i'm no one needs to understand.Those who understand me dat i 'm true dey can and dose who thinks i 'm decieving ,fraud,creating attention dey also can,I'm just a normal man having little intution powers.My dis comment was only in response for this man.Thanx a lot!Now u can remove this post if u want.No one can contact me so pls don't ask anything from me uderstand this as a joke or anything which u wants.

What is Vaishnava diet? anurag shrivastava guna

In India people of many culture and faith live.In India various people live as Hindus, Muslims , Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and many many other others

Thanks for that. I guess that's pretty nice diet for those on the go. I was just like concern more on preparation since I am not familiar.

Shadow Karma... A Sattvic diet is excellent for those individuals who desire to live a quiet, peaceful and meditative life. Sattvic foods comprise the diet of many sages, yogis and spiritual teachers. These foods are supposed to produce calmness and nobility among people. Unfortunately, the world is clouded and life is fast so people tend to be more rajasic and also tamasic. But one can't impose their beliefs upon others, it does take time and people learn from their mistakes. One should focus on work, self-improvement and intellectual or spiritual pursuits. Maintaining a positive nature, demonstrating generosity, kindness, openness, fairness (equality) and forgiveness also increases Sattva Guna. In addition spiritual inclination, faith and belief in the Great Spirit or God, engaging in selfless service or charitable activities help to become Sattvic. It takes time for the effects of dietary changes to manifest on the mind. Changing our diet may not impact our psychology overnight, but in a period of months can affect it significantly. In Chapter 17 (verses 8, 9, 10), Sri Krishna makes clear the type of foods to be avoided by those who seek good health, worldly success, and progress on the spiritual path. According to the Bhagavad Gita, foods which are too bitter, sour, salty, pungent, dry, and hot can lead to pain, distress, and disease of the body. Further, Sri Krishna says that foods cooked more than three hours before being eaten, foods which are tasteless, stale, putrid, decomposed and unclean should be avoided by spiritual aspirants and those who seek excellent physical and mental health. In Chapter 6, verse 16, Sri Krishna specifically emphasizes moderation in eating and sleeping. He states, “There is no possibility of ones’ becoming a yogi, O Arjuna, if one eats too much, or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.” Clearly, over consumption of food leads to problems and one can logically conclude that the quantity of food consumed is probably an important element in a diet being considered Sattvic. Sattvic diet is also a matter of degree. Some diets may be very Sattvic, while others may be moderately Sattvic.

Thanks for the thread. I have a question? Why do all of the Indian resturants use onions and garliic and many other rajistic foods? there are about 20 Indian resturants in about a 25 mile radius of where I live, and as I am trying to keep a sattvic diet, I can not eat at any of them. There is a vegetarian Indian deli near me and all the food they prepare contains onions and garlic. I will not eat there. Are Indian people living in America not Hindu? I mean no disrespect.

Click Here for a list of all Sattvic, Tamasic and Rajasic foods. Sundeepan

Sattvic Food, As milk milk products, fruits, fresh, non spicy, no chillies, onions or garlic, no brinjals or mushrooms,no alcohols, no stale or non vegetarian food, and only foods with basil leaves offered to God and taken as Prasad.

I particularly like the 'cow and scriptures' part.. "One who gives some water and grass to the cows for eating attains the result of performing a horse sacrifice there is no doubt in it." Imagine how powerful cow seva is... If it were possible i'd adopt a cow! =P

Is the forum long gone,, I've been new here for a while and I just notice the activities on this forum and see that most of the topics and reply here are beyond or more than 5 years old, I wish I am wrong because I find this forum very nice and informative.
