Many years ago my ancestors converted to another religion. But they still observe many of their previous traditions. We have a Kuldevi Maa called Dasha (Momai) Maa. Does this mean that our previous religion was Hinduism? And who is Dasha Maa an avatar of?

In that case it wasn't dandia because I didn’t see any men. All I saw were females in their dresses twirling and whirling in a circular formation. I thought for a long time that maybe it was shadows of the leaves outside. But at the time I was convinced it was what it was. I saw it for two days straight and then the next night when I looked it wasn't there.

What do you mean by "tha"?

Ravindran thanks for sharing your vivid experiences. You are sounding very scientific.....

Awww, you made my day with this story . Thanks for sharing!!!

Lol, maybe . I saw a lady get possessed by mataji when I was at a goini (you know the thing where 9 young girls are called for puja) and yes it was frightening. I thought something else awful was happening to her.

Do you see them as distinct from one another? Or do you feel they are imcomplete without each other?

Shiva and Parvati are one so the dance is still connecting to him in someway. This is what I meant. I didn't realise there was even the slightest connection.

My nani was in a coma for two years because of a fire accident. She said she was unconscious the whole time. She didn't even know she was operated on until she woke up.

The theory doesn't say we are descendants of monkeys. It says we are descendants of ape like creatures . The Adam and Eve story is not to be taken literally.

Thank you Ravindran. I didn't know garba dance had anything to do with Siva. I know about Siva and Krishna but I know very little. I have only recently started chanting mantras. Its the only thing I know how to do because I'm not familiar with all the traditions of Hinduism. I come from a Oshwal Jain family who worship Hindu gods but they are also unfamiliar with all Hindu traditions. So I hope that only chanting is accepted by Siva/Krishna.

I don't know if I'm more blessed. I just feel very, very confused! I feel like when I try to focus my energy on Krishna, it keeps going back to Siva. So its as if I am calling Siva while I'm chanting to Krishna.

Well I am trying out different Mantras right now. When I chant Hare Krishna (I have been doing it in the last three days), all my focus keeps going to Siva. Is there anything wrong with this? I can't help it. And sorry if I'm getting on your nerves by asking so many questions

So right you are

I see you added more photos. Aaah! Oh well, even if I didn’t get to taste them at least I got to see them:). Thanks for sharing the photos!

Wow, I went to Hare Krishna temple in London on Monday but I didn’t see no cake.

Synesthetes hear colors, feel sounds and taste shapes. Wow! I don’t have the ability to see the future but once I asked my gran to phone her best friend because she didn’t meet her for so many years. She called and then we found she died about a week ago. That was so strange:eek:. That's very strange but cool!

I have had about three which all occurred long before I was even 10. After years, I thought maybe it was just my imagination going wild like with most kids. But I can't seem to forget these things. So I am posting this here just to be sure if it was real or just my imagination lol. The first one is weird and it happened twice in one week. At night while I was in my bed I saw a shadow on the wall with ladies doing garba or dandia. Do you think there might be something to it? Also another time I had a dream. My mum was opening the door of my house. While she was doing this, she turned to look at me and she turned into a Goddess (don’t know which) and the whole of our drive way became filled with flowers. Then when she turned around to face the door, everything became normal again.

Most religions claim that theirs is the only way. I find this very hard to accept. I have come to the conclusion that truth is multi-faceted so it will sometimes look different depending on which angle it is viewed from. For example, a Christian may believe that theirs is the only way, while a Muslim may believe that theirs is the only way. Since both religions disagree, both cannot be absolute truths. While both groups may believe their view is absolute, at least one of them is wrong. But we can say that both statements are true in relation to each group's core beliefs.

Yep! ^^^ That's the website where I got the info from. Can't wait!

If you're earning an honest living, why do you feel ashamed? Why do you need to impress anybody? You should be proud you even have a job. And if you're not happy with your current career, you can always apply for other jobs.

I'll be brave this time, lol Yes!! I think I might have a few questions. I'm just wondering if she speaks English or Gujarati, or does she have a translator?

It’s easy to criticize what you don’t know. Loving her doesn’t make your devotion to Krishna any less pure so don't let anyone be the judge of your devotion. That was a very emotional video and I already feel that I like her. I am just a bit afraid as to what I would say. And I’m also a bit afraid because she hugs people, and I never do hugs. I know this will make me sound sad, but even when people have tried to hug me, I have resisted. I don’t know why. I don’t want her to think that I think badly of her. I love people but find it hard to express my emotions. But she sounds so lovely, I want to meet her. I’ll see if I can pick up the book from the library so thanks for the suggested reading. And now that you have reminded me, I already had made plans to go to the Iskcon temple tomorrow. I have been there many times and whenever I go there I come out with a completely refreshed mind. Its my favorite place

I heard that she is coming to the UK, London in October. I just want to know who she is and should I go and visit her? What do I say to her if I do?

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
