maadhav

thank you. you are free to think that way.

the question is not clear. please re-word.

the question is wrong because it pre-suppsoes untruth as truth. hinduism IS sanatana dharma, and has not grown fro any othr religion. it is with us since the creation. all else has come, more or less from it. or from those who want to kill it.

apparently she is not a learned hindu guru.

tulasi (devi) married to vishnu. therefore it is offered only to vishnu tatva deities, technically.

please shut up and go home. we have no interest to know your grand ignorance.

<< When everyone starts following their religion and believes in GOD there won't be any TERRORISM, CONVERIONS, INVASIONS etc... >> wrong. Islam is out there since 1400 years and is active in converting or killing anyone who is not muslim or refuses to accept islam. xianity also cannot tolerte the existance of a non xian. << People, who involve in TERRORISM, CONVERIONS, INVASIONS etc.. are making the religion belittle. >> no. islam won a lot of terrotery all over the world by the force of koran and sword. it is your luck that your family in bharat are spared from the sword of islam. contact the hindu victims of islam and knwo what happend to them by teh brutally invaded idlam in bharat. << Please stop discussion on pointing towards any religion. >> islam is really not a religion (dharma). it is adharma or the religion of the barbsarians. erad koran and find for your self. what religious book you read every day please? prove that you are not a muslim in the guise of a hindu. <, We Hindus follow our religion and beleve in GOD. We can show other religon that without any sinful activities or gommick, Hindu religion can survive forever. >> we already proved that hinduism survived islam onslaught for 1000 years, but that is just luck. If we do not act in united way, then there will not be a living hindu in bharat. Don't you see what happend to hindus in pakistan and B'desh after partitions? Time is changing, hindus are changing for better. they are beginning to follow gita/krishna, not gandhi. join them and be a pro-hindu hindu, else some one might think you are an enemy becaue you talk in favor of the enemy. that could cost you something. never try to pacify hindu kshatriyas. help them instead. they love all hindus, hindu dharma and rashtra. jai sri krishna!

good thanks. now begin. if you want to preach only, say so. if you really want to learn about hindu dharma say so truely. no lies or games. wishing you a happy experience, but may get frustrated if you try to convert hindus here.

it is just fashion to some people. has nothing to do with hindu dharma.

gotras and shakhas are in brahmans and kshatriyas only because the vedic knowledge was tansferred by memory from the rishis to their sons and disciples of the next generation. so the name of a gora and shakha signifies which part of vedic knowlege was propagated down the generations till now. vaishyas and shudras were not chosen to do this.

if you want to preach here, pick a good username.

he has failed to understand krishna. he is jain or a branch of jainism. well, if you like it, go for it. we most here have chosen to follow krishna.

the astrological predictions by an expert will be correct as long as you live under the influence of maya. as soon as you surrender to krishna, the predictions are no vaild. kaunteya pratijaani hi na me bhakta pranashyati, says krishna. to a devotee this is very powerful statement.

why bother, it is okay if you do not believe in it. pick a good username if need more discussion.

no ned to wait, but act. here some more: Hindu God not jealous, being supreme; xian god jeolous. Vedic fact: a soul in each jiva; xian think no soul in animals. Gita give many ways; Bible thinks jesus is the only way. Gita teaches sin-free living; Bible teaches sins and sin-laundriy cycles for ever. Hindus don't kill cultures; xians do.

it means god is the truth.

it seems you have chosen to not get my point. so i will not discuss more. But to use condom is not dharma practice either. << WHY is it not Dharmic practise, may I ask? >> where in gita krishna says "use condom"? if nowhere, then it is adharma. dharmaaviruddho kaamosmi, says krishna. comdom use is dharma viruddha kama, and so adharma. but you will not get it, it seems.

hindu dharm is not a belief system. it is spritual truths, proven true. one may accept them or not. those who accept and livey by are called hindus. e.g. gravity is there, whether you belive in it or not. same for the spiritual laws given in gita.

I think I need to clarify some points I made. Gov. and society should enect programs and laws due which people get jobs. Those who hve money do not use for anything, then there cannot be jobs. In the time of famine, the kings used to provide employment by diggign wells of some construction etc. Many in Bhaaat are not paid fairly or hired fairly. The legal system is totally ineffective for helping unpaid or less paid toe get their fair payment for a servive or product. I already have said that to abort is sin. (So, it can be declared illegal.) But to use condom is not dharma practice either. If a rich aborts, then you can collect fine from him/her. If a poor aborts, what good it would do to punish him/her? He/she already feels guilty about the sin. Understand that the cause of abortion is lack of income, mostly. Now, any one who protest abortion is not helping any one. He/she is a 3rd party in the matter most of the time. There was a sadhu in a village in Bharat in the known history. Forgot his name. His asram was out of teh villge near a well. One night he heard some noise at the well. He shouted: who is there? A lady crying: it is me. so the sadhu goes ther and ask: what is the matter? why you are here at midnight? lady: i am pragnent and unmarried. a child will be born in 3-4 months. if it is born, teh village people willhte me and I will not be able to live with dignity. so I have come her to jump in this well and commmit suicide. sadhu: who is the father of this child. lady: man named (forgot the name), but he willnot admit this is his child. he has abandoned me. sadhu: o lady, go home in peace, and when people ask whose child is this, you tell that it is my child. do nto worry and take well care of your self and the child. lady: o maharaj, thanks. (she goes home.) Then after when the village knew that teh sadhu impragnated an innocent lady, they were very angry at him. the chdl was born. sadhu began taking care of him. but teh villegers took the issue to the court. In the court trial, sadhu said that he did not want the lady or the child die, so he lied and said he is the father, and does not know who the real father is. Still, the villegers did not believe him and accused him of being a crook in the guise of sadhu. so, finally he dropped off his dhoti in the court room and showed that he does not have a penis, proving that he cannot impragnet any one. the court became silent. the case was dismissed. tjhe next day the real father of the child fell at the feet of the sadhu and begged forgiveness. sadhu forgigave him. So, we need protestors like this sadhu. he was a problem solver, not a proglem giver to the gov. and soceity. poors cannot help poors much. it cost to raise a child. so only the rich can help save a child who is expected to be aborted due to poverty or sin. additionally there are some society supported asrams in bharat where parentless children above 5 years of age are raised in Vedic way. Newborn and toldlers need families to raise, not institutions. hope you understand this. again condom use is not vedic dharma. the root thing that goes wrong is: getting pragnent when there is no need to, or when a male child was wanted as a future bread-winner. a girl has almost zero chance of earning money, unless born in not poor family.

We care less, unless a religion is out there to totally wipe out Hindu dharma fro the earth. Simply put: no matter what religion you follow, follow it without bothring the Hindus. Stop conversions and killings of Hindus and Hindu dharma infrastructure. Do not make propagandas to defame Hindu dharma wrongly. Additionally, Hindu dharma is the complete science of spirituality. So, we accept fully what Krishna has said in Gita. Why, because it has been proven true by billions of practiceners over milleniums. Hindu dharma is so old that all the major religions of today are just todler kids. Many Hindus do have Bible in their home, but they are Hindus. Do you have gita in your home? I would say no, else you would not ask the question here. Gita is only 700 verse long. Why not read it? Then come and ask questions here. But ask to know sincerely in a friendly manner. Else we have no interest to talk. Do you know that your donations in churches are killing and hurting us Hindus? The reason you ask this question is because you are jealous of Hindu dharma; why? because Xian god is jealous and therefore not supreme. Supreme god - Krishna- is never jealous of any one. Is this hard to understand for you?

<< Vedas describe the religion of Aryans, who invaded India around 1500 B.C. The Vedic religion was not Hinduism although hindus consider Vedas as their scriptures.>> The above is not true. << The Hindus do not form congergations and mostly worship at home. >> Not quite true. << Hindus have little missionary feeling because they believe that the proper way to become a Hindu is to born one. >> Not true. << Hindu rituals cover all areas of a person's life. Hindu society has a high standard of conduct, with little immorality, crime, or violence. >> Correct.

by 'god conscious' i meant: raise children in dharmic family environment so that they understand dharma and live per it. ture, to remain brahma chari is very difficult. swami sahajananda has said that if one does not go for sex to any one other than one's wife, then one is as good as a brahmachari. of course, no sex unless there is desire to produce a child.

produce god conscious children that one can raise well, or control sex desire and activity like a brahmachari.
