Rajan Zed is doing great work Hindu's, speaking up for issues like this, nice one!

 

Once he said, he will be leaving his body for 3 days and will meet "Allah", till then he asked his disciples to take care of his body.

I don't understand, what has Allah got to do with Shirdi Sai Baba?

The Swaminarayan school was the first UK Hindu faith school, think this is the first government funded one.

Lol, maybe . I saw a lady get possessed by mataji when I was at a goini (you know the thing where 9 young girls are called for puja) and yes it was frightening. I thought something else awful was happening to her.

Hi, please do not used the word "possessed", its as if it implies that mataji is a devil, which she is clearly not, instead of this word, use "manifested", as mataji manifests into people.

Kuldevi means family goddess, its the goddess that your family have been worshipping for generations. and Yes, this indicates that your family were of Hindu faith.

Check out the following site.... http://www.jaiambe.com

Most Kuldevi's are avatars of Durgra Maa.

Jai Ganesh!

Who remembers that day when Ganesh Murti was drinking milk when placing a spoon of milk next to its trunk, amazing!

Also, when an elder blesses us back, they place their two hands above the ears and attempt to click their fingers against the head, if clicked, this symbolises something good in the future.

Yeh, i don't think those murti's are installed by the acharaya's.

i don't think it matters, you just have to be female i think.

wow, great news, any photos?

How would we know for sure that there is a Shiva Linga inside the Kaaba?

It's Saraswati Maa*.

Dark Warrior, was Narayana manifested as Swaminarayan Bhagwan?

Vedas are the only acceptable pramanas. Bhagvatam or any teacher's interpretations cannot be the taken as the true basis. Sri Rudram clearly states...."....namo Girishaye cha Shipivishtaya cha...". Shipivishta means Lord Vishnu. So Lord Vishnu is contained within Lord Shiva. Sri Rudram also states.."namo Rudraya Vishnave mrityurme pahi..." further emphasising this. Vishnusahasranamam or Bhagvatam or Ramayana or Mahabharata cannot be taken as pramanams...just like demi-gods, these are inferior in authority to the Vedas. Even the term "Narayana" means "Leader" and refers to Lord Shiva. For eg. kings are called "Narayan" in Nepal and if you do not know, in Nepal, kings are assumed to be the form of Narayana and worship the Great God Shiva for their people's welfare. And for the uninformed, the common version of Purusha Suktam has been corrupted to include a portion on Vishnua and Lakshmi to make it seem as if the supreme Brahman is Vishnu ! While doing abhisekham for Shiva or Devi, Purusha Suktam is chanted in it's original version without the appendages. Shaivism and Shaktham are the oldest traditions and Vaishnavism is a recent phenomenon after Ramanuja propogated the same. Check history. If you took a count of Hindus and saw how many worship Shiva and how many Vishnu, the truth will become apparent that Vaishnavism is a minority. It is funny to see the infighting within various Vaishnavism sects...ISKON believes Krishna is the Godhead and Vishnu is the avatar of Krishna ! What can be more ridiculous !

 

Indeed, you believe Shiva swallowed hala-hala poison because of Vishnu's bidding and it was Vishnu's good grace that made it possible ?! Ha ha ha!!

 

To call the great God Shiva a demi-god is blashphemy. Awaken and reform.

 

Sri Sadashiva arpanamastu !

What about Swaminarayan?

Very informative mate, thanks.

Oh ok, where is the original diety?

Well it says somewhere in this thread that swaminaryan followers beleive that shankar bhagwan is equal to narayan.

what about if someone says "bhagwan nu summ" or "sai baba ka kasam".

Daas Ka Daas bruvs, you say that there are still scriptures that the sampraday have not published yet, howcomes they have not released them?

Well because the caste system has such an effect in India, dalits are converting because they are treated like shit because of there low caste status, by converting to christianity they think that this will go away.

check out this chesta, its brilliant:
