    This is interesting indeed.

    I am still not understanding WHAT is painful about it?

    First you said that there is mental pain, then you said that the mind goes blank..I am not at all trying to argue, simply to understand what EXACTLY IS happening at the moment of death and WHY is it SO difficult to remember God in that moment?

     

    I know for myself, someone who has spent a great deal of life in physical pain, that remembering God when I am in pain can sometimes be difficult...however, at some points, it is quite easy because the pain can be SO great, that you cry out for help to God.

     

    So why is it so difficult? If the mind is going blank, I assume that would be a good thing, since that is what we try to do everyday when we meditate..is make our minds blank! :)

     

    Is it the attachments and the UNFUFILLED DESIRES that make it painful at the moment of death? I know that leaving your body through astral projection is not painful, as someone said earlier. Therefore, WHY IS IT HARD TO REMEMBER GOD??

     

    Would love to know why if anyone knows!!

    Remebering god means going to him.So until and unless gods grace comes you wont remember him.

    thiest sir has said it that it is not a technical process but personal .

     

     

    Maharaj says that whatever sadhana etc you do you can only conquer beyond the three tatvas but you go further with gods grace.

    I have been a member here only for the last 3 months. However I have been using this as a source of information on Hinduism for a long time.

     

    The closure of this forum is a loss to Hinduism. Unfortunately we do not have any Hindu public trust doing this kind of service.

     

    This forum will be missed.

     

    I am grateful to Jahnava Nitai Das for this yeomen service to Hinduism.

     

    Thank you and GOD Bless You.

     

     

    I ask forgiveness for those messages.

    Im sorry

    really only my ego was hurt you never answered them.

  6.  

    To even think that Sri Ramacandra has a sattvic body

    or that shyamsundara has a sattvic body is detrimental for any kind of success- in the way to achieve wealth or mukti.

     

     

    But think like this shri krishna had left his body as he was shot by a hunter so doesnt this mean a material body.


  7.  

    for kali upasaka : How would it feel if I say the Mother of the Universe,Durga has a sattvic body.Oh,it will be maintained till long,but the body gets destroyed just like any other human body.

     

    Durga in material world is different from durga from spiritual world.

    By the way durga does have a satvic body since for shakts everything is brahm and brahm is devi and maya is devi so maya is also brahm and also but jeev is brahm so is jeeva maya also?

    Then waht is prakriti or mula prakriti.

    Shaktism talks about prakriti as 5 fold-durga,saraswati,savitri,radha and laxmi.

    But it then says durga is mula prakriti.

    Can someone confirm which devi is brahm in shaktism .

    Is it the lady of universe in mani dvipa or durga on a lion or i dont know.

    Very confusing.

    Jai rama

    see the supreme lord as per majority hindu scriptures is brahman . 'supreme lord' to a vaishnava is vishnu . but 'supreme lord' to an advaitist is nirguna brahman . he doesnt offend nirguna brahman .

     

    MAybe yes.But,

     

     

     

     

    looks like you nevr heard of ramanujacahrya or if you heard why would you talk like that.

     

    • What does Nirguna Brahman mean?

    Ramanuja argues vehemently against understanding Brahman as one without attributes. Brahman is Nirguna in the sense that impure qualities do not touch it. He provides three valid reasons for staking such a claim:

    Sruti/ Sabda Pramana: All sruti and sabda's denoting Brahman always list either attributes inherent to Brahman or not inherent to Brahman. The Sruti's only seek to deny Brahman from possessing impure and defective qualities which affect the world of beings. There is evidence in the Sruti's to this regard. The Sruti's proclaim Brahman to be beyond the tri-gunas which are observed. However, Brahman possess infinite number of transcendental attributes, the evidence of which is given in vakhyas like "satyam jnanam anantam Brahma"

    Pratyaksha Pramana: Ramanuja states that "a contentless cognition is impossible". And all cognition must necessarily involve knowing Brahman through the attributes of Brahman.

    Anumana Pramana: Ramanuja states that "Nirgunatva" itself becomes an attribute of Brahman on account of the uniqueness of no other entity being Nirguna.

    Why all other jagadguru\s except shanakracharya accept this.

     

     

     

     

    after all the descriptions that i have given of her , do you think that i veiw her that way ? by the way , i know what you think of her -- " forms of uma maheswar are horrendous and revolting "

     

    They are. do you doubt it.

    For destruction purposes they take such forms.

    Never heard of bhairav or veebhadra have you.

     

     

    whatever you believe is petty dvaitavada ( ha ha ha)

     

    falling short of reasons and trying to escape by sying this ?!!

     

    hi hi........

     

    Achintya bheda bhada to be specific.

    Jai ram
