"Stable mind" is something that i can relate to.I Could not translate "quiet mind". sthira buddhi. sthira=stable buddhi=mind

Excellent post by visnujana . I would like to add that pure bhakthi is possible when we reach the state ofSthitaprajna(gita 2:64, 65). Also please refer http://www.indiadivine.org/audarya/advaita-vedanta/137478-sthitaprajna-gita-chapter-2-verses-64-65-a.html

If you don't mind i would like to amend your summation. Bhakti is not masti(merry).Being blissful is a side effect of bhakti but it is not merry perse.Bhakti means devotion to god, being immersed in thoughts of god. Sadhana is a practice made habitual in the pursuit of bhakthi(devotion) with emphasis on certain predetermined rituals.Sadhana is not an attitude.

The way i see it , pure devotion is a service to god.

That makes him a deluded fool not a spiritual minded person. How can you call an ideology/ religion that says kill unbelievers and take their wives and children as spoils of war be deemed as valid??.<b>Can god allow hapless women and children to be taken as slaves???</b>

Tough to find a real guru these days.

Sadly, there are many people out there who fall for such charlatans

Yes, and also he answers the thread asking for bija's well being. I wonder why moderators allow freaks like him to troll this forum.

Before people get excited and thought they are answering a genuine question they should read this freak's other posts

Does any senior member have any contact number ?.

And make them a little bit richer

. Hinduism doesn't have jealous god(s). But the poor astrologer has to make a living, you see . I have enough experience with astrologers to come around to the view that in most of the cases it is harmful listening to them.

If you dont mind asking i am bit confused on "You are the other half to make me whole" This kind of statement is used referring to a life partner and not a twin.Twins are separate beings and have no significant influence on each other.The twins dont share their destiny with each other. I did some translation using http://spokensanskrit.de/ and a bit of common sense. twin- yamala - यमल soul- आत्मन् - aatman mirror(image) - प्रतिबिंब - pratibiMba

Karma catches up no matter one believe or don't believe or one tries to manipulate it. Logically speaking if there is no karma the only other option is god simply doesn't bother.

Here is the video of taliban flogging a girl in public http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/06/pakistan-flogging-video-court. Here is the pakistani news paper showing the evidence http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/witness-to-swat-flogging-speaks-out--qs Here is another report on taliban bombing girls schools-http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/provinces/09-taliban-violate-deal-in-swat-pakistan-army-szh--05 <b>Is this the freedom you are talking about Jinglebells???</b>

Ohh one more thing. Freedom to impose Jizya tax on nonmuslims like they did for the sikhs?

Taliban are freedom fighters????. The atheists mask of jinglebells is slowly coming off.The mention of jimmy carter in earlier thread should have alerted me.My bad, i mistook this self proclaimed atheist as a missionary . We are talking about Taliban in pakistan. So, what kind of freedom the talibs are fighting for? Freedom to take people to barbaric 7th century? freedom to kill school going girls? Freedom to administer sharia? which includes flogging the ladies?? Freedom to bomb girl schools?? what freedom they are fighting for?? remove the mask completely, jinglebells

Jeffster here is another interesting piece analyzing why pakisthan normally deploys poorly trained police force against taliban.The present military operation by pakistan army is to get us aid. Pak Taliban op timed to get US aid? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Pak-Taliban-op-timed-to-get-US-aid/articleshow/4464848.cms and another analysis http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0326/p99s01-duts.html

This is getting more and more embarassing.Prithi saab, pls spare us the torture.

No, i find it much tougher dealing with nonmuslims who think that the best way of dealing with the problem is pretending that there is no problem.This is the battle(changing the mindset) which has to be won first to minimize costs in the future.

Yes,you can be prepared.The war will be unlike the worldwars 1 &2. It will be fought both in battle fields and in streets. The world leaders and the opinion makers can minimize the cost though.

Imagine what???.Would you like to replace them with churches?. What exactly is your point?.Are u that retarded. Yes, i see a pattern here.A retard who repeatedly fails to recognise when he is smacked thoroughly. Stupid idiots like you who dont comeout of the evangelical crap cant see that politicians are of various faiths.And there is shortage of genuine and strong hindu save a few like narendra modi who chose to enter politics Who told you there are millions starving?? which church gave you this data?.People who are starving are too stupid like you who dont want to work or seek help. Again an evangelistic propoganda.You pretend that you haven't read Sonic yogi's post about temples feeding poor people.Temples serve food to poor people irrespective of faith.Temples are not proselytizing centres unlike your churches who insist on conversion before they serve. Aha,When was the last time you set your evangelical foot on indian soil.? That is true. hindus are waiting for strong politicians who follow sanatana dharma and not the crooks who pose as indians and behave like cheaters . Somebody like Mr Narendra Modi when he takes becomes primeminister is going to kick the corrupt fellows and slaves like you who peddle his masters faith.

Actually Ms clinton has an idea.She wants to talk to 'moderate taliban' and sort out the matter.:crazy::crazy:

Correct.But there is no shortage of land for factories necessiating removal of temples. FYI ,The earnings from temple lands is controlled by government not priests. Most of the government funds for poverty eradication goes to the pockets corrupt government officials.So, by your own logic we should be demolishing goverment. Sonic yogi has already answered your point.I will add more.There is no shortage of food in India .people who refuse to work are starving not because a tiny bit of food is wasted on idols that too on accassions not every day. It is a wonder that stupid fellow like you lives in ireland.Irish people i know are of very smart kind.Now, did the irish became prosperous after demolishing Churches? . What exactly is your point? The answer is eradicating political corruption and electing strong leadership.Demolishing places of worship is not the answer.Now, tell me how much funds you have managed for evangelisation?
