Hello Dear Friends, Im writing this letter to ask for some help about how to get an acupuncture license in Europe (it can be also North of Africa). My Teacher is Korean Buddhist monk and a doctor of acupuncture with licenses from Korea, China and Mongolia. Now he lives in Mongolia but wants to move to Europe or North of Africa. With some good help we have discovered that it is difficult to get a license in France bcs he needs to study French about 3 years and then he needs to study as a doctor there at the university and pass exams and it will take more than 6 years total or even more. We would really love to get some help about any information where it is easier to get an acupuncture license in Europe or North Africa. We understand that Europe includes many countries, that's why you can share any information about any country and we will combine all of this knowledge from you and choose the best one. Thank you very much! Stay in peace.

Namaskar all, It is nice to see the forum is back. It has been a vade-mecum of spirituality and Hinduism at large, at least for me, as I was so novice about these a few years ago. This forum has been a good platform to share views, discuss substantial things and meet people that had a lot of impact in my life. Still missing so much friends here... I still miss a close friend of mine here, Jndas Ji and so many more learned people...I wish to read more topics from you. Do keep in touch. Kshama

Hi, I am new to this forum. I got registered in the site one day ago and since then whenever I try to post anything, it says it will not be visible until Administrator approves it. What is the procedure for getting approval of Administrator. Is it mandatory for every post or only for the first post? Please educate us on procedures and processes of this forum. Thanks & Regards, Krishna

Namaste, ya'll... My given name is Reese though I now spell my name "Rij" of course pronounces much the same I have been away from my Sanatana Dharma for some twenty-five-plus-years, aba maiṁ vāpasa ā gayā hūṁ. As for quite the abbreviated "cliffnotes" version of a background: I started out as a harē kr̥ṣṇa in high school and, ironically, much much later after practicing Ashtanga and Vinyasa-style yoga for eight-and-half years, had not made any sort of connection with my Hindu past until recently after my former partner and best friend died of renal cell carcinoma. It's wonderful to be here and to have rediscovered this beautiful and rich tradition!

Hello I am Jack a new member in this forum. I Join this forum to enhance the more knowledge. Regards,

I just joined this forum yesterday day/ I have few questions about What happens after death? I have finished reading the Great Bhavat Gita about a month ago. It is quite interesting to read the Gita and felt like everyone should read it and try to understand the teachings of Lord Krishna. Since I know Sanskrit from my childhood, I was able to read both Tamil and Sanskrit versions. I am now coming to my question to learned audiences. One (like me) did not practice the Gayatri Mantra though it was taught to me in my childhood, which I felt at my old age, can I get the Nama Japam from a Guruji and practice it sincerely be able to attain my wishes? Since I missed this great opportunity, I am willing to have a rebirth as very sacred soul like Adi Sankara or St Thiagaraja Swamigal and live like a Sanyasi or Siddha Purusha and learn the Vedas, Upanishads, puranas and slogas etc so that I become deserved soul to reach the Lotus Feet of Lord Krishna. Is this a possible wish come true.I need to seek the blessings of learned Guruji. It may look funny to some, but it is my true wish. Thanks for all those who read this post and responses and guidances.

Namaste! Greetings all Beloves Sisters and Brothers of the Hindu Dharma path, I would like to state on the very beginning that I am very happy to be here and therefore I feel with all of my heart that it is the wonderful place to maintain the discussions conncerning our path and that Guru is in everyone and I would like to tell that it is by the nature that all of us are spiritual perceptors and I am not afraid to state that I am such being but I am not an egocentric and I am only purely working with myself without telling anyone who he / she shall do to fulfill on the path as well as I will not participate in the paid Hindu courses whcih I've found on the internet and thought that they are free but they are not. I am not throwing around the advanced expert names for the Gods, Worship and other aspects of working and I work with all of the aspects of the Hindu Dharma even sikhsism without being one but just exploring all of them in balance and without dividing as a true Mystic and what is mysticism is everything that leads toward the inner and outer cleansing and this process goes on eternally and is not going to be finished after a couple of some achievements. I am here not to spam but to share with all of you the experiences and discuss over all aspects of our path and everyday existence, I would like to send my sincere words of Loyalty and Love to the Adepts of the Hindu Dharma path as I will continue my progress naturally and without having any so called temples as this is not my aims, I am not a follower neither but I am loving the Hindu Faith truly and faithfully without making other traditions of Hindu Dharma less important and I work with all of them in balance, thank you for spending time and reading the message I left here with the best wishes for all of you on the path of Hindu Dharma. Om Namah Shivaaya.

Can someone recommend a tried and tested way for weight/fat loss.

In the present age of Kali yuga mantra japa is the yuga dharma, or main process for self realization. It is simple, requires no background qualification, and can be done anywhere at any time. Sit down in a peaceful place and silently chant your mantra. In the beginning start for 10 minutes, and gradually increase. The mind will become fixed and peaceful usually after 30 minutes, and then the more fruitful sadhana will start. Other options for sadhana are puja (worshipping a deity of God), meditation (dhyanam), svadhyaya (self study of scriptures), etc.

Paribhasa-sutra "seed" or "theme" verse of every scripture revealing its topic (SB 1.3.24 - krsnas tu bhagavan svayam)

"itara parAmarzAt sa iti cet, na, asambhavAt" other one, that is jIva; due to reference; he = jIva; thus if not; because of possibility 82) If it b objected: reference to other as jIva in dahara passage exists, ergo, it means jIva; vaisnavas say no: for it's impossible epithets applied to dahara should =ly apply to jIva too. Chh Up 8.7.3 yields 8 epithets such as free from sin, free from decay... Can these apply to jIva jAgo jIvAtma? Indradev heard from Prajapati of a self free from sin, old-age... So these 8 r applicable to jIva too? VedavyAs goes deeper...

these r actual evil spirits. they can posses a place or human body. they give a lot of diseases like extreme physical pain or heart ,body and mind problems if they posses u. they posses only those who hav low planetary position in horoscope charts because of weak aura of them. when they posess u, then u can c people talking rudely, insensitively when the actual people r not doing so.its a kind of illusion which shakini makes u c. If u want it to leave ur body,ask ur family to do hawan n puja on regular basis of a powerful deity.they can make u wander from place to place if they have more control over your mind then u. Doctors if asked why is this happening will say that the person is in depression or is mad.they make u remember bad things which happened with u or can possibly happen with u. If they can talk in your mind then apply gomutra on backside of your ears.drink gomutra ark.drink water plus kaali rai and pili sarso in quantity of at least 3-5.apply gomutra on foot and talwa.

Hi, Was wondering if anyone could help me. I had a serious illness and with God's and Guru's Grace I recovered physically enough that my life was not in danger. For that I am eternally grateful. However I still have some minor physical symptoms every day, and emotionally I am very much unhappy as it reminds me of that sad time. For the past 2 years I get up at Brahmamuhurtam to pray and say my Gurumantra which is all-powerful, but obviously I am doing something wrong because I am not getting physically or emotionally better. I tried asking other devotees but one of the other devotees got really offended and told some falsehoods to my Guru and main disciples about how I challenged the effectiveness of the Mantra (which I didn't, I was just talking about my own inability to get results through some fault of my own). So I'm a bit nervous to ask my Guru and His disciples now. I'm not really sure how I can go on through life like this, as I wonder if I will ever get better- some of our saints themselves said that it is difficult to improve spiritually without a healthy body as then the mind is always on the body. Any advice? Thanks, B

When asking questions about your future please do not post your real name. These posts are indexed by google and they will show up when people search for your name. This may cause you trouble many years later when you apply for a job or for some other reason. It is better to be safe and not include your real name when asking questions related to your future, marriage, finanical problems, etc.

Namaste. The mantra says "Klesha hastaaya". Why would Surya bhagavan have kleshas or afflictions in his hand ? I dont say that this makes this unauthentic, but it means there could be some problem with it.It is good that you are trying to understand the meaning, but the task may be more than a bit beyond you( and me as well:-)). Chakra( I guess pronounced as Sha-kra) would be Indra.Chakra ( Ch as in Chain and not as in Chateau) would be a wheel- could refer to Sudarshana. Each mantra is used for a particular purpose.Not all mantras are used generically to get close to the Devatha. Some of them are for a prayoga. I suggest you do not take this up without more information on what this is for. Websites may not be the best place to get that information.

where is the link for downloading the above said format even for the member?

This navratri i shivered lot during aarti. I feel i am getting some energy and i was breathing heavily. I am not scared now.. i have made up my mind if i get mata i will not feel bad or scared about it. Can anyone please suggest how to get possessed properly.

Don't worry Raghu and leave all this to God,such miseries is expected from a soul who is lost in this material world.I sincerely Wish Shri Krishna will show him reality one day if he is a real devotee of Shri Krishna although he looks busy attacking other ways of Worshiping God which in my opinion Shri Krishna never spoke of/advised.

Ok, today my webrobots discovered some from the original bhajan recordings of Acyutananda prabhu. Since it is not sure if there's any interest I just post the mp3 download link of one, Kesava Kali Mala, 7.4 MB

hi i have been getting amba.renuka and saptashringi since i was 15 yrs....it still continues...and leaves me drained after i have it...can someone help...? thanks

Haribol. I've recently come across a text that suggest that Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura may have eaten meat at some point in his life. The "evidence" comes from 'Svalikitha Jivani,' an autobiographical text written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in the form of a letter to his seventh son, Srila Lalita Prasada Thakura. I suspected that it may be a spurious and/or invented text, but it seems that this text is rather authentic and has been used for consultation by Rupa-vilas das, who wrote the 'Seventh Goswami' bioraphy of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. Below are the relavant verses: "225. Everyone in Chapra became my friends. The lawyer, Kesab Babu, always supported my point of view. The Judge Saheb also was favourable towards me. The people of Chapra made many kinds of pickle. A certain type of vinegar pickle was the best. I began to make it. [Their] mustard oil pickle had a pleasant taste and I began to make that also. At that time I ate a lot of fish and meat. I had known that killing animals was bad for a long time, but I had a strong desire to enjoy fish and meat." "226. I ate a lot of fish in Chapra, but it was not very good. Therefore, I ate more goat meat. After the prolonged eating of food of this kind combined with red chillies and mustard seed pickle, I developed a bleeding ulcer. The first [attack] occurred on a full moon day. Gradually I got pains every new moon and full moon day. It took 5 to 7 days from the day the pain started for it to go away. So much suffering! When the pain [started] I automatically suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for 10 to 17 hours. At first I went to the doctor, and a close friend, Manohar Babu, gave me medical treatment. Thereafter, I tried Moslem natural medicine. Finally, Mahendra Mama brought some Ayur Vedic herbs from the jungle and a local Vaidya made a little medicine." I looked long and hard, and was finally able to find an online copy of this text at: http://www.raganuga.com/cgi-bin/raga/ikonboard.cgi?s=e0a27f7006aa6efd5de9664095b\76403;act=ST;f=8;t=375;st=0 So if it is true that Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura ate meat, how does this fit in with the perception of a liberated soul as being nitya-siddha according to A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada's teachings? Or nitya-siddhas in general? Any thoughts?
