    Believing someone lived and believing someone is relevant are two different things. Actions speak louder than words and the deities that Hindus think are relevant are the ones they propitiate in fire sacrifices. They often give lip-service to the deities of foreigners because that is the way many Hindus choose to practice gentleness.

    What i meant was beleiving someone lived.

    Christ is a historical figure.

    Whole history dating is based on A.D. and BC.

    If there are people who amount to billions and who brleve christ didint live then you can use the figure.

    whats happened to you.

    YOu can beleive all the hindu god and goddeses are living but cant beleive that jesus lived.That shows your just talking through emotions and not proof.


  2. JAI SHRI RAMAWell Muslims are a minority in India and they dont have want to have polygamy among hindus who are a majority maybe thats why.

    Remeber sati,child amrriage all these social evils.Polygamy was one of them.

    Anyway these were decided in the interests of all and there might have been was discussion hindus and muslims before decidng the laws.

    Also some rights are given to backward classes such as scheduled tribes for example reservation in government jobs through quotas etc.

    It should be that these classses should not be left out and should be uplifted.

    But in the partition of India there was a separate country for Muslims, which are now two countries.

     

     

    Dont talk like that.This country is for muslims also.

    There are more muslims in india than in pakistan.

    Anyway i asked my law teacher about this.

    HE explained that this is because our country respects the ethics of religions.

    LAws are same to everybody except for some social laws.

    Such as marriage, which are social in nature.

    To protect the rights of religions these laws are different because each scripture of each religon might have different views on marriage,children etc.

    So in order to respect their sentiments such measure are taken.

    Remember these are just some laws and not all.

    Also to promote the interests of some minoritie communities such as backward classes and for their upliftment such things are done.

    Prayers comming out from heart is as good as Yajna..my humble feeling dear Santji.

    yes.Youre right but shudras performing vedic mantras?Vedic mantras sound are of upmost importance i think..Anyway you ask a vedic pundit about this. Also Recently the arya samaj had performed a vedic yajna and yes it rained quite heavy here in delhi.I got wet in it.But a very nice experience.

    To me, that seems ridiculous. Shouldn't there be one set of laws for everyone?

     

    Religion is a matter of the heart, not a piece of paper or a basis for the state to decide what laws to uphold. With all respect, I can't appreciate the idea of different laws for different people.

    I was thinking that you would think like taht.Please dont create more enmity in your heart.

    The laws were set for the rights and in the interest of all the citizens while repecting religuos interests.

    Congratulations, Sant! You`re now a senior member( 1004 posts).:)

     

    Thank you.I m a young boy though young enough to be your son i guess.So its awkward for you to call me senior.

     

     

    Yes, I`ve read it just now. My perplexity is not whether Krsna is the basis of Brahman, personal or otherwise. What I want to find out why as pure living soul our constitutional position is that of eternal servant of Krsna when we , after all, are His parts and parcels. Why should we not instead serve ourselves after knowing we are no different from Krsna? Just because Krsna is bigger and we are smaller? When Krsna incarnated in the form of Lord Caitanya he took the role of a mendicant and servant of Krsna.

    I have less knowledge but because as prabhupada says serving krishna gets us bliss.

    Not all people beleive that soul is an eternal servant of vishnu.

    But even those who have achieved moksha come to do bhakti of krishna .

    Jagadg guruu also says that premanad of krishna is higher than brahmanada.


  7. In India some laws are there that are to be applied to Muslims,christians and people of other religion differently.Laws relating to marriage ,adoption,minority etc. are not necessarily the same for parcis,muslims,christians or any other religion.For example a hindu cannot practice practise polygamy but a musalaman can marry more than one wife.

    So for such legal purposes registration specially when converting ,if you want to be known as a person from for examlpe hindu religion legally, is required.

    Now imagine, now I am in India. I wake up in the house, have bath, then have to do Puja as all my family in India perform it. It means, go outside with your towel on you, pick up some flowers (around 15), put one flower on each deitie, pray all the gods, put the yellow and red "powder" on all deities, take some coton, make it as fine as a thread, put it in a small plate with oil, light the coton then ring the small bell while praying god and drawing circle with the plate in the hand. Then I have to go outside of the house allways with the towel on you with some water, pray the tulsi, put the yellow or red powder on the tulsi, throw some water on it and near it with eyes closed, then burn some incense.

    All this rituals must be done in one exact order (that I don't remember now ;-) ), according to my family in India.

     

    Nope only my grandmother does this also only some of it.I dont think in this way exact.

    Anyway i told you how these rituals work.Remember.

    The Rituals also depend on each sampradaya.I dont see any one in my family doing all this in the same exact way like you do it.

    Ask your family where they learnt these from.

    Remember i showed you a puraan a ganesh puraan.Did i show you?

    The rituals mentioned there do you remember.
