livingentity 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2003 I hated high school in America but really enjoyed it in Italy. Funny I can only remember the pep rallies in Italy but not my American high school. We would stomp our feet really loud and chant "Andiamo Andiamo Let's Go" over and over. How much nicer it would have been to chant the maha mantra instead of that useless mundance nothingness! I would go back to high school again if it was Hare Krsna High!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 11, 2003 Hellow dear You quote "I like to challenge them on the animal slaughter issue. I try to share what I have learned about how we are spiritsoul and not the body etc. Until they learn that nothing philosophical is going to make any sense to them. I mean without understanding reincarnation how can one have a developed philosophy? God's personal We are not the body Stop killing animals" Ok fine. killing animals is sin according to you because they are living beings.But our own scientist(Mr.Bose) have proved even plants have life in them. Now can I ask you dear, eating any vegetarian food means you have killed the life of all vegetation.Don't pluck Tamotoes from its tree.You are guilty of killing the life of Tomatoes,for that matter any vegetation on this earth.(I mean vegetation which has life). You are guilty of killing all the vegetation all these days.You a killer of vegetation!Even God cannot save you now. Now if you want to follow the above rule,I can take it guaranteed I can see your dead body in few days. Before blaming others look what you are doing. Search the truth which will give you everlasting life. For that matter, even Lord Krshna played a major role in killing all Kouvravas.Why should we worshi a Killer?

Guest guest Report post Posted November 11, 2003 Hari BOL, Do you believe in Gita , if yes , how many times have you read it . If no , you are unfortunate and can not understand these things .

Guest guest Report post Posted November 11, 2003 Dear Mr. K, You didn't understand the philosophy. One should eat only the food offered to GOD. We can not offer Chicken or Meat products to GOD ( why , because it is instructed in GITA , where he says I accept leaf , flower or vegi product and which is offered with love and devotion ) . Regarding killing , we kill so many thing every second .When you breathe so many of germs get killed . So my dear guest do all the work for krishna , even breathe for him or live for him, then you will not get the reaction of your sins which you are doing by breathing also.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 12, 2003 Dear M, Hinduism is not the same as Krishna consciousness. I can only, or mostly, speak from the point of view of Krishna consciousness. "Hellow dr brother\Co-Indian whoever you are Look,if we worship the idols< There is a difference between an idol and a Deity. " who can't talk,who can't hear," An idol can't hear, whereas the Deity of the Supreme One God/Krishna, most certainly can. Only due to material vision do we not see/hear/etc the Deities interactions. "who can't respond to our prayers," Many devotees of Krishna/God have definitely had the Deity (not idol) respond to their prayers. "why should we respect them(i mean idols)& our rituals.Hellow ,I am a Hindu who is talking here." If you are a Hindu and sincerely asking, then consider looking into Krishna consciousness. But if you have all ready made up your mind, why waste anyones time, includuing your own. "We say as Hindus,everywhere(sarvavyapi) God lives & bow down to that same idols. Is there any meaning of what we say & what we do?" This questions/comment is not fully clear to me, so maybe this one is something a Hindu may need to answre for you.
