Most ISCKON members have completely reverted from common sense and logic. It's a waste of time trying to explain their flaws in thinking. Thanks for the videos anyway, I enjoyed watching them.

The definition of Vaishnava cannot be someone who thinks less of Shiva. That person can never be a vaishnava. This has been reported in many shastras.

I separate myself from Christianity, being religious doesn't mean following all religions. Hinduism and Christianity are separate religions, there is no point in arguing with each other. In this day of new age aspects of religions are being thrown together like potpourri. It's of major importance to know what you stand for, otherwise you'll fall for everything that comes across.

It's funny how people who know nothing about vedanta philosophy think they can refute Advaita with one simple post.

So bhyo is always plural?

What's the connection with Deepak Chopra?

Those are good onlinestores, also check out this one if you can read an Indian language gitapress.org

The only way I could support a boycot is after seeing the movie. Otherwise I wouldn't know what I was boycotting. A massive boycot will create more curiosity. But I have to say that I don't like the Ramayana being depicted as fantasy. It's as insulting to Hindus as is making a fantasy film about the holocaust to Jews. Rama and Hanuman are worshiped in Hinduism with the utmost devotion. I have no idea how this film is going to display the divinity of Shri Rama or if they will make Hinduism look like a joke and put our sacred stories on the same pile as anything from Walt Disney.

Well, mental disorder are related to the nervous system and kundalini is often compared to the pelvis region below the spinal cord up untill the brain. Therefore people say that you can become crazy if you practice kundalini yoga the wrong way. I feel that this is a misconception, most likely the kundalani has not been awakened at all. In most people, who are not advanced yogis, the kundalini is asleep. I think that the kundalini either awakens or is a sleep. Most likely it won't awaken wrongly, because the body will prevent this from happening. If people are such scared little wussies, it's better for them not to practice this type of spirituality at all. Uncontrolled awakening of kundalini isn't typical, it happens very rarely. The advice from Swami Satyananda is to condition yourself first with hatha yoga, asana's, bhakti yoga, proper diet and sleep before atttempting kundalini awaking. People want instant succes, this is not possible.

I like this little poem, because it gives an example how to attain relief from everyday stress. Sometimes when I work on a project, it feels like I am working on it 24/7 for entire weeks. That makes it hard to be present in the moment.

For one moment I thought you were telling me to drop dead.

hare rama, hare rama, rama rama, hare hare hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna krishna, hare hare Eat a little, drink a little; talk a little, sleep a little. Mix a little, move a little; serve a little, give a little; Work a little, rest a little; study a little, worship a little. Do asana a little, pranayama a little; reflect a little, meditate a little, Do japa a little, do kirtan a little, write mantra a little, have satsanga a little. Do all these, little, little. You will have time for all. Swami Shivananda

Kundalini Tantra, by Swami Satyananda

How many people on this forum do daily sandhyavandana? There is so much argument going on this forum, sometimes I think: "Where do you get the time, don't have to do your sandhya?"
