That's deep right there. What about tribal people who have never heard of Jesus? Or the possibility of intelligent life on other planets what about them? Oh wait I forgot if we ever found them the Christians would try to convert them also

Sorry about that, that was me above. I forgot to log in lol.

I've gotta know why people of faiths other than Christianity see the exact opposite of what Christians talk about. Very,very few people have mentioned hell in their NDEs. Obviously, you have to do something very, very bad to end up there. And King Yama is not an equivalent to Satan. This story is a hoax, even Christians are upset about it.

this is true, there are many astral beings and entities that are malicious.. but one who chants dont have to care about these as long one ignore them and only wanna chant the Glorious Names of the Lord!

True, true. But chant and be careful lol.

How true that is, nekozuki!

Whenever I WANT to do it, it doesn't happen.

whenever I forget about wanting to do it, it happens!

 

So i promised myself to just forget about it,

and it'll happen when it happens

 

One time I did it, I psychic attacked myself (I think...?) My physical body-eyes opened and I saw my celestial body looking down at me,

and I nearly had a heart attack! I remember I crashed back down into my body and I ached for days!

 

But at the same time - it was so wonderful to know that it worked, that I wasn't just dreaming!

Just be careful because there are "beings" that don't care for humans much.

Exactly my point too, which is why Krishna is not mentioned in non-Indian literature.

 

It is tiresome to see these weak attempts to create imaginary links between Krishna and Jesus to entice christians. Surely, you do not think such dubious links will draw people into your religion?

 

Why not, just be honest and refrain from such tactics?

 

Cheers

And yet the facts have been put in front of you. No one is trying to draw anyone to Hinduism by doing this. More or less we're trying to clear up some tension between Christianity and other religions. If you think the similarities between Jesus and Krishna are coincidental, please look again. Jesus even has similarities to Osiris. Guess where the two spiritual centers of the ancient world were: Egypt and India. Greeks went to India heard the name Krishna and it got adopted into their own tongue as Kristos. The fact of the matter is that the Greeks knew of Indians and their religion, ever heard of Apollonius? Deny the facts all you want to, but what better way to make a religion out of those already around

In case you've forgotten the Greeks were trading and traveling to India way before Christ(Alexander the Great, hello ). Just because it isn't mentioned in any Greek literature doesn't mean there isn't a word for it. Greek literature mainly revolved around the Greek Gods and goddesses, not the Hindu Gods and goddesses.

I have OBEs all the time! & I don't even know how I'm doing it either..?

Yeah, they tend to happen more spontaneously. Doing them willingly is hard, you have to be pretty adept in it. I've heard to be careful though if you do it willingly, Ï've been warned of psychic attacks.

I'm sorry to hear this. Guys can be such a pain sometimes. The only guy is trust in the world is Krishna.

Whoops! Sorry guys the Guest was me I didn't realize I wasn't logged in.

I think dreams are more than just chemical reactions in your brain. I had a dream of Sheshanaga after converting to Hinduism and praying to Vishnu. I've also had two dreams of Hanuman and a dream of Krishna, all of these were very real. When I was Christian I never had any dreams about Jesus or angels, but when I switched to Hinduism it was like a light switched on.

Yeah, a naga is half man half snake and a nagini is half woman half snake. I think at one time they did interact with the world. Dragons and fey especially have stories that say they left because the human race has become to corrupt. People who astrally travel claim to see these beings.

Same here. I am a Caucasian who converted to Hinduism from a Christian background.

 

It would not surprise me to learn I have lived in India in a past life. Regardless, I know it is within Hinduism where all my spiritual questions are being answered.

In one of my dreams I got hit in the head by a nagini, now I know those are mythological but that was a little weird lol.

Yeah, I would say he looked more into it. I don't know him personally but my stepdad told me about it. It was a very neat story. But yeah, I think our past lives affect us greatly on religion. For instance, Í'm Caucasian and converted to Hinduism, i've had past life dreams of India, so it's possible my Indian past life affected my religious choice. I found Christianity to be miserable for me, I did not feel close to God, with Hinduism i do.

yeah, I've always wondered if you weren't a very religious person in this life could your past life religion effect you when you die in this life? As far as I know he had little exposure to Hinduism, he probably knew who Shiva was because he had seen a picture and the name beside it or something. But I would think he would need a lot more exposure for it to effect him that greatly.

Just to let everyone know my stepdad's friend had a near death experience on the surgery table and said he saw Shiva, and he's not even Hindu. Explaine that one for me? The doctors brought him back and he told them about it. Strange stuff.

So because you cannot find historical records on someone means they don't exist. Since his life is told in story form he doesn't exist. What people fail to realize is that the ancients did that a lot, they told stories to explain things. Look at The Iliad for example, everyone thought it was just a made up story until someone found Troy.

I hope you're right. Because now I want to see if something will happen in 2012. Is it the fifth world? Who knows. But certain theories range from an asteroid collision to a pole shift to a new awakening of the spirit, so who knows.

Yeah, but the future isn't always set in stone. And if things keep going the way they're going us humans probably won't be around much longer. Either we'll blow ourselves up or we'll destroy the planet and us along with it. So, I think it's about time for Kalki to come.

Whenever there is a withering of the law

and an uprising of lawlessness on all sides,

then I manifest Myself.

For the salvation of the righteous

and the destruction of such as do evil,

for the firm establishing of the Law,

I come to birth, age after age.

~ Bhagavad Gita, Book IV, Sutra 5, 7, 8

Look at that very closely.

The fire being nuclear perhaps?

 

And what will the fifth world be like? I thought that most religions only talk of four worlds or eras. Even Christianity divided time into 4 eras, didn't they? Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze or something like that? If so, why is it the Mayans seem to think there will be a FIFTH world then, when most religions only say four?

They might be thinking in a linear concept, such as after the fourth will be the fifth. I find this a bit creepy I should say. We'll know on December 21,2012 I guess.

2012 in Mayan legend is when we enter the fifth world. Think about this, in Hinduism we're in the fourth yuga. According to Mayan legend we're in the fourth world. The mayans say the last world was destroyed by WATER! This one will be destroyed by fire. Does anyone see a connection here? I do, and it's a bit creepy. This goes along with the Hopi prophecy too. And since there are civilizations mentioned before the flood, could this be where the stories of Atlantis come from? Even Egypt says their civilization is 35,000 years old if i'm not mistakened.

It was the Emperor Constantine who banned reincarnation from Christianity and the apostle Paul who forulated much of the Christian beliefs in the church today, also went against it. The early Christians had many gospels that different from the ones we have now. The Church today only follows four, when there are thirty - these are ignored and termed heretical by the church. The Gnostic Christians who followed these other gospels did believe in reincarnation. Alot of their teaching are similar to Vedanta.

yeah, Gnostic Christianity is actually what Christianity is supposed to be. So much for listening to Jesus.

If I go to hell because I didn't believe a certain way, then the God the Christians worship and the heaven they believe in is not worth it, sorry. If God was like that forget it, but I worship Vishnu and if he is the wrong God so be it, I'm not conforming to someone else's beliefs because the devil is going to poke me with a pitchfork for worshipping God, period.

There's a universal law called karma, what goes around comes around and I have never seen it fail. It's pretty obvious and it happens regardless of your beliefs.

Sounds political to me. I think a pope banned reincarnation. A man banned reincarnation, not God so I can't take the Pope's word for it. Maybe something like love for Christ would release you from the cycle of reincarnation, much like bhakti yoga. But obviously, they didn't understand this.
