can a holy thread have more than one knots, that is three, five, seven etc.? we were discussing this topic and one of my friends told the quality of brahmin is based on number of knots on the holy thread!!! does that sound bizarre, yes it does even to me, so am here with the question with the experts.

Thanks,

Vik

I have read Mahabratha, Ramayana, Bhavagad Gita and a lot of other stuff (but not too detail in the Vedas) but I don't see where it is said that going abroad was a bad thing.

Samudraullangna (crossing ocean) is considered to be Sin, becuase once you cross the ocean, you are going to come in contact with people who eat lot of Beef and pork. So in this way your consciousness will also get affected and thus you also incur sin. Now if you are planning to go and comeback, and FOR SOME RELIGIOUS REASON, then its perfectly OK,, coz you know when you comeback you are going to dip once in the Ganges to clear the consciousness. This is completely scientic and it is mentioned in Geeta to have a Saadhu sanga, which means to be with vegie people and also in an environment, where there is a controlled material desire and lust.

People like you don't your own history - you are an embodiment of Ignorant which imprisons the mind of Hindus and force them to hide in that hole called India. GET OUT and see the World, before you rot in it. .

He he did I offend yu in anyway? I mean yuo sound a bit rude here. This is not good for healthy debate. Now, coming to the point, I have been across the globe and have CONSTANLY noticed the chnage in my CONSCIOUSNESS when I travelled in the west. Thats really phenomenal. There is more material here, there is more sin, and to be honest, my senses are controlled well in India than in any western nations. I can bring you some quotes from some scriptures. Let me know if this answer satisfies, then I can find a right source-with direct explanations.

FYI - ALL Hindus, listen to your history. Hindus have been going out to see the World since 1000 AD. There have been traces of Hindu heritage as far away as Japan. Cambodian's Angkor Wat have pictures of Kurma Avatar in its walls, Indonesia have Buddhist temples and even in Malaysia, there are signs that Hindus had AT LEAST two kingdoms in Perak and Johor as early as 1200 AD. .

Thats after the age of Kali started. There has been constant travel across the ocean after the age of Kali started. Thats not a new info anyways. All the so called relgions have sprouted in age of Kali, even with bogus name HINDU.

But Westerners have been telling Hindus that they have been living like pagans and their forefathers were never sophiscated, because they don't want Hindus to become wiser and stronger. That idioctic attitude continued today by your Government. That is why there are fools who could look for help from foreigners to revive your heritage instead of working toward it themselves.

Thats true to certain level. However, the basic way of evalution by the west is totally flawed. They measure on the basis of material, temporory things. They always think, fullfilling basic need of senses is the only purpose of this life. They dont belive on next life, They say no soul only body. I mean there are many ways they try to prove themsleves superior. Superiority is measured interms of Dharma (i.e righteousness), austerity and sacrifice for the superme cause. Just like even after having a 50 times sophisticated army than Pandavas, kauravas had to see the face of defeat , reaosn DHARMA was on thier side. Krishna was on thier side...

It is the natural phenomena of Degeneration.

 

After light there is Darkness, after darkness there is light and there goes the cycle...

 

Everything has to undergo a cyclic change.

 

We've experienced such stuff in the past, but each time we have seen a saviour emerging amidst dark fogs, when everything seemed to be lost; they've restored back that beautiful world.

I think Indians have been kind of accustomed to this fact that we can get enough harmed and Krishna will come to protect. That is true when the civilisation is atleast following Krishna's principles. But this is not the case. The whole Bhrathvarha is engulfed in the storm of materialisation. That is there is less difference left between Westeners and Indians, interms of culture, eating, sex, marital relationship, you name it and we are moving step by step to become 'Yo-men'. This time Kali has taken the soft root and rounded up so, nobody has even the slightest hope to comeout. Kind of chakravyuva, where son of Arjuna, Abhimnyu attained matrydom.

There are only very few, in pockets some in northern states and some in southern and southern-western states, who still follow these principles properly. Now, the question of the hour is that, would these small pockets of communites will be able to fight with the might of Kali...

Krishna save Bharath, Please...

Unfortunately, that is the one thing which we (at least the Hindus) are not doing.

 

Organized religions are quickly coming in to take over the place, just as Mafia could take over from the local thugs and religions like Hindusm and Buddhism is quickly fading away.

 

I have seen many Hindus who behave very westernly (like going to pubs, drinking alcholol and having casual sex) and they called such animalistic behaviour as "norm" and modern trend.

 

Hell ... just watch Tamil movies nowadays. They seems to be teaching youths today a lot of stylish way to open alcholol bottles.

Thanks to brits, who saw that even the minutest trace of vedic education wouldnt survive in this nation. Reason, the backbone of vedic education deals with NOT going abroad and dealing with any of MLECHAS, as even coming in contact with sinners, one becomes a sinner. The vedic education is only a myth now, as it wouldnt help one in anyway to fly to US for earning in dollars. However, I am hopeful in a very wiered manner that oneday Americans start this Vedic education and bring in schools in India to revive the culture. That will atlesat help in boosting the self esteem of millions of people, which has gone shattered in pieces due to firstly islamic, next the English and now so called the democratic politicisation.
