2-& Stephanie, from MarkK, 1/18....re... on Christianity & Oneness

[Guest guest]

Dear Stephanie:

I'd agree. And, look at all the strife and hardship that exists between Hindus and Moslems,

to say the least...

I was just responding to Sanjay's comment about the ideal of Hinduism...

and especially since my own experience...practicing the Vedic sciences...

has only allowed me to become more spiritual....

in spite of my Christian tradition and heritage...

But, I don't renounce...or feel bad about my tradition. I'm sure, in fact that Christ

was one of the greatest Gurus...

but what Vedic knowledge has taught me...is to emphasize.... moving towards Oneness.

In fact that we are all part of that oneness...and it's that...experience...and

realization which is going to set us free!

Sincerely,

Mark K.

Re: on Christianity

Just to be fair,

While some of the fundamentals of Christianity are based on the notion of

conversion (for various complicated reasons) not all Christians believe in the

notion of conversion. Remember that like Hinduism, Christianity is equally as

vast and diverse in its manifestations. There are many catholics who believe

that not everyone was meant to be catholic. There are some denominations that

believe their mission is not conversion but acts of charity. Yes,

historically, great acts of treachery have been committed in the name of Christ

to include the vast and global colonialism of Spain, Portugal, France, and

England. But it is important to keep in mind, that no one path, philosophy, or

religion is better or greater than another. For if we start counting nuts, much

treachery has been created in the name of Hinduism as well.

There are many great Christian souls, who walk a dedicated and devout path,

doing much good in their communities and in the world. I've walked both paths

with tremendous devotion and I found that I was able to access God with a

greater sense of peace and tranquility through Hinduism (and I still have so

much growth). But I do not believe that the path my parents walk is any less

enlightening than my own. Just different. We each must walk our own path.
