I can see that the living being when considered in material position is called false ego. (yes?) I'm not sure how the living being is being called when in spiritual position; is it sat-chit-ananda? ww.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?4610ab8779.gif

Hi, I find a good website:) danyavaads already mentioned that She is hladini-shakti, beyond the 3 modes of material nature...What about sat and chit? Is She also sat and chit? Regards

lol

danyavaads, You mentioned hladini-shakti. How many categories/shakti-es are known? Regards How are the 3 periods of time connected with 3 gunas?

Dear Bart Happel, Please accept my apologies for anything you may have found offensive in this thread from me by now. Sorry for not replying you in a much better way... Regards, afun

gHari, sorry if you think like that. Personally i find it like an information to (try to) remember but i do not understand it now...

Bart Happel, Why cant you or someone just answer the simple questions, and the answer is easily revealed... Regards

Hi, 1.) Is Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī rajas or tamas guna? 2.) Is Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī aparā-prakṛti (māyā)? 8 elements (gross+subtle) or 5 elements (gross)? Regards

Why 3? Why not start with 2? Can't we generate all other colours from just 2 basic colours? ( ttp://answers./question/index?qid=20060627172002AABv2xT, etc.) Regards

Hi, why are there 3 gunas and not 1 or 2, etc? Regards

The fourth state is samadhi. And there are two definitions of samadhi: - Impersonalists definition of samadhi and - Personalists definition of samadhi. And the interpretation of samadhi is the arguing topic between Advaitins and Dvaitins (Achintya-Bheda-Abheda for example). Is this correct?

Thank you for replies. Is it correct to say that the first three states (waking state, dream state, deep sleep state) are considered material and the forth state (turiya) is spiritual/transcendental)?

Hi, Where are these three states first mentioned and described? Are these three states understood in the same way by all Vedic schools? Regards
