Plase write the text yaar.

Hey Valaya ji,

Don't keep on taking Radha's name so much. Krsna will hit you. How will you feel if someone keeps on taking your beloved's name over and over again?

Sadly, this world gets carried away by the propaganda on CNN and Time magazine. Aren't there millions that believe Mother(!) Teresa was holy and that she served the poor of Calcutta?

Why do you think that she was not holy and that she did not serve the poor?

First, what are the benefits of recognition as a minority in India. Is it purely symbolic or are there benefits such as government contracts, subsidies etc...

There are benefits. You get reservations in some jobs (esp. government jobs). There are some other benefits too.

Suryaz: My posted messages still fly back into what is the past (for me) but at the same incident they are experienced in the experiential domain of future and of the present for others. Thus creating ambiguity about how we perceive Krishna as “time”. The issue seems now more complex as it brings up questions about Sri Krishna and relativity and our previous arguments about the spirituality and relativity.

If two persons are moving with respect to each other but the component of relative velocity in any direction does not exceed the speed of light in vacuum, then if some incident is in future according to one person, then it can not be in the past according to the other. I really do not see how Krsna's statement "Time I am" is against relativity.

Dear BhaktaBionic,

There are syntax errors in your C++ program.

1. No filename is provided after #include. As I can see, the required filename here is < iostream.h >

(Note, I have eddited the message to introduce white space character after < and before >. In reality, these white space characters should not be there. But, in this forum, it is required as otherwise < and > are treated as beginning and end of html tags).

2. The variable X is undeclared.

3. In C++, there is no keyword "then". Are you mixing Basic here?

4. There is < before else. That is wrong. Instead of <, you should use ; (semicolon).

1. When reincarnation is a reality, why many religions, exccept Hinduism, do not believe in it?

Which religions do not believe in it?

In the Bhagavat Gita Krishna says:

“Time I am the all devouring sinful enemy”

This translation means that Krsna called Himself as sinful. I don't think the translation is correct.

But then Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura wrote an essay disregarding relativity.

What arguments are given against relativity?

My Arya Samaj buddy was of the same opinion. He said it may have been possible that a river may have been named after the Goddess Saraswati, but Saraswati in the Rig-veda does not mean a river.

Have you heard that some people are demanding that some village in Tamilnadu should be named as "Malgudi" in the honour of Late R.K.Narayan who wrote "Malgudi days"? That has still not been done. But if it is done, then it is possible that after many years, people will think that the village "Malgudi" mentioned in R.K.Narayan's stories really existed.

The scriptures generally state the color of the yuga-avataras, but I have not seen them mention the particular names of these avataras.

Do you have any idea as to why the scriptures do not give names?

To him, Saraswati in the Rig-veda meant Goddess Saraswati and not a river.

Is this possible that most of places, structures that we know now and which get mention in scriptures are common only in name? To take an example, Greek mythologies use many words which are names of constellations. But these words have not been used in the sense of constellations in those mythologies. Rather, the constellations were latter named on the basis of those mythologies.

Girish ji,

Are you same as ggohil?

Dear Karthik,

You were mentioning something about the river saraswati in some other thread. Could you please write whatever you know about this river in this thread?

I liked these quotes. That's why I am reviving this thread.

Maybe we can write a song like "All we are are bubbles in the foam" sung to the tune of Dust in the wind.

Nice idea. Write it and post it in the "Simply poetry" thread.

Yes, it is true that not much of archaelogy is done in India. But, can't blame archaelogists also. They do not get that much of fund.

Hey, it is really interesting.

If we find some ideas in common between Manu Samhita and Quran, then this is not sufficient to conclude that Quran is derived from Manu Samhita. We have also to prove that those who wrote Quran had read Manu Samhita (either completely or partially).

You are right. Mohammad is considered by Muslims as a prophet and not as God.

Anonymous: ... and i most certainly do not believe the orginal article.

Those who responded to you also do not believe in the article. Then why were you saying that no one could disprove the article?

...or you looking into some other verses or I ?.

Could it be because there are more versions than one of Valmiki Ramayana?

Can you post the Sanskrit verses here?

The article says:

Hence, all Hindus where-ever they may be, should wait no longer for any other 'kalki

autar' but to embrace Islam and ...

This very clearly shows the motive behind the article.
