Sephiroth Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I ate beef and i believe in Hinduism... I don't know what came over me but i was really hungry and wanted to eat.. Can the gods forgive me for what i have done.. cause i really regret it now. If you know it is beef and you ate it, then you had commited sin. In Hindusm, Gods do not have authorization to forgive anyone's sin or punish them for their sins either. Most likely, you will pay for your sin (like everyone else) in your next life. Punishment will determine by His mercy and forgiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 the religion is there to help to wash sins, not only to state that you will pay them in a next life... we are humans, we are subject to make mistakes.. so, to solve your problem religion comes to help in many ways... one way is that you can surely chant the name of the lord sri Krsna.. being krsna, the supreme lord, non different from his holy name, when you will recite sincerely, his presence will clean every angle of your hart so simply starto to chant everyday, even for five minutes, if you don't want to make more, the ancient mahamantra: hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare recite with love and concentration and there will be no more problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense ... you want Placebo Effect, not Spiritual Cleansing. Placebo Effect means you make mistake, then run to a priest, monk or a statue, or simply bang your head 5 times a day, then day-dream that their sins are cleanse. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif People who lives in Spiritual are ones who do their best to refrain themselves from commiting sins. There is two types - Sin against God and Sin against Man. Those who commit Sin against God will have to seek forgiveness from God, and those who Sin against Man will seek forgiveness against Man. Some forgiveness cannot be given by God due to fairness - like murder (killing and consume other lifeforms falls in this category as well), adultery, abortion etc (which deals with other individuals). For this, you must be reborn and suffer for it. You want something to wash away your sins easily, go and join Christianity and Islam. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 What sort of punishment for meat-eaters? I am one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 What sort of punishment for meat-eaters? I am one... I'm a meat-eater also. But I'm repaying the life I took by doing penance and collect merits and then, returning it back to God so He could "pay" others for my "crimes" which I did knowingly or unknowingly. It is something I learn from Buddhist principles. Hopefully in the next lifetime, my own punishment could not be so severe as the one I'm facing now due to my ignorance in my past existence.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 you want Placebo Effect, not Spiritual Cleansing. ••placebo? religion is placebo? are you atheist? What is the use of spirituality if it is meant only to understand when i hav made a sin? medicine is diagnosis, but it is also cure... People who lives in Spiritual are ones who do their best to refrain themselves from commiting sins. ••"their best" means that it is not possibile to be sinless, so we have the right and duty to ask forgiveness surrending to the lord: bg..18.66 sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. so the surrendering to Lord can make us free from karma,, and a way to surrender to the Lord is to surrender to his holy name who is non different by the Lord himself Those who commit Sin against God will have to seek forgiveness from God ••bhagavad gita states "all sinful reactions (sarva papebyo)" You want something to wash away your sins easily, go and join Christianity and Islam. •••so sanatana dharma is less powerful than islam and christianity? i don't' think so... But I'm repaying the life I took by doing penance and collect merits and then, returning it back to God ••that's not automatic. We have to surrender to him trying to make his will Hopefully in the next lifetime, my own punishment could not be so severe as the one I'm facing now ••if we go on committing sins, our punishment will be more severe. When a criminal is caight several times committing the same crime, he gets more years of jail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are medicine which cures, medicine which cause you to forget your pain and medicine which just give you comfort (Placebo). Not all medicines are the same. I'm NOT an atheists ... frankly speaking, I consider Atheists as the lowest lifeforms. But to me, religion MUST be useful, logical, scientific and covers all aspects. ANYTHING other than this is not God's religion. •••so sanatana dharma is less powerful than islam and christianity? i don't' think so... I didn't say such either. I said, if you wish to believe in Lies, go and join Christianity and Islam. There rest is nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Material cures are placebo, because at the end we have to die even if we cure ourselves with all the possible care But to me, religion MUST be useful, logical, scientific and covers all aspects. ••of course.... religion covers all aspects... diagnosis and cure I said, if you wish to believe in Lies, go and join Christianity and Islam. ••if i wish to believe in lies i'll follow you who says that religion does not gives remedy to sins but only placebos There rest is nonsense. ••some intelligence is required....... not too much... a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 First of all you have halfly repented by knowing that you have done bad and shoulnt have. Secondly you should chant Gods name as much as you can. Shri Krishna is the only one who will forgive you, no other demigod has such power to do so. You may repent by fasting and doing hard bhakti. Such as 50 rounds of mala a day reciting krishna, on eahc bead. Talk to the Almighty he will forgive. DOnt ever do such a deed again!! as thats one of teh five major sins!!!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Also friend, try to give some charity to an animal organization or to a cow shelter or goshala which exist in many Vaishnav and also Swaminarayan temples.
