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.

Friends first let us shape our life towards becoming a true humanbeing then we should talk of higher goals.
Great you speak my mind.
How do i start.
For what the saints say that a human being should enquire about his existence.
So is that good for a start.

Only the Parabrahma or parmatma is to be prayed, which is one and not the else .It is not me not you and not the anybody . See
You mean to say parmatma is not vishnu
-
You mean in hindi meaning or how it would be written in hindi.
-
chandu are you in any way from bjp.

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.
-
No hindustaniji.
I dont thinlkn so but thank you for informing.

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.

Hate in my opinion is an ill feeling.
So whoever it is there shouldnt be any reason to hate.
Not like i dont hate someone.
But its hard to stop ill feelings towards someone who has caused hurt to you or who you think has caused hurt.
But sometimes illfeelings come themselves and the devil inside you becomes alive.

When we say we dislike corrupt politicians, we do not mean we dislike corrupt politics. We actually dislike those individuals.
Quote:
Dislike and hate are two different words.

We hate terror not terrorists. Terrorists are in total seperation from God and they need sympathy and education and bhakti
Im happy to see someone who thinks like that.
God Bless you smaranam ji

sambya, sir what do you exactly expect from vaishnavs and how they should behave.
Be clear.
Certainly if you have some good point they might consider.

Remembering the Lord at the time of death

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.
