“Cult is an ugly word.” How interesting! But cult is the mother of culture. Without cult there would be no culture.

Saathiya is doing her job of maligning Hinduism. I commend her for doing the job to the best of her “abilties” Spreading untruths is not a crime.

Yeh, i dont have a firm grip on the religion yet but that will change through time. What special "ability" do I need to tell you that praying to statues (and Hindus DO pray to it) and worshipping cows, snakes, rats and other animals is primitive? Does one need a degree to see the retardation in this? I'm sure you can spread the truth to me.

Famous Reflections on the Bhagavad Gita
Albert Einstein: When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.
Mahatma Gandhi: When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day.
Henry David Thoreau: In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial.
Dr. Albert Schweitzer: The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by actions.
Carl Jung: The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been current in by gone ages. The link with Vedic conceptions is provided by Plato in his Timaeus in which it states..." behold we are not an earthly but a heavenly plant." This correlation can be discerned by what Krishna expresses in chapter 15 of Bhagavad-Gita.
Herman Hesse: The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life's wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us.
Rudolph Steiner: In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.

Aldous Huxley: The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

@Ram

Question of the day: How do the pantheon of gods resolve the problem of animal suffering? If animals are not moral agents like men with a capacity to decide between good and evil, what is the purpose of visiting suffering upon them?

If men make animals suffer, is that the fault of Gods? Do Gods control how men behave? Why men are indifferent to the suffering of animals? After all animals have not declared war on humans?

Do animals have animal rights, akin to human rights? Why are humans so arrogant that they have decided that non-humans have no rights? Why humans are so immoral?

I understand what you are saying. I don't really care if Hindus pray to statues, so long as they don't shove it in my face.

I personally think that Hindus do not pray to stutues but they use statues as props to concentrate on devotion to God. For Hindus, statues are not statues, they are murtis or icons.

Also it is not true that Hindus worship cows, rats whatever, Hindus believe that all life is sacred and animals have a place in the universe, therefore thay venerate all animals.

That is tough question to answer.

Perhaps God did not create anything or devised the laws of predation. Things just happen. Do you know why things happen? I don't. Perhaps the Creator is not very smart, or He is sadistic monster. May be there is no creator, it is just an illusion.

I suppose India has had a lot to offer in the past....yoga, mathematics...Kama Sutra ....

Are you fucking stupid or what? How can you separate Mathematics from Hinduism?

The numerical system of today that is used is entirely Hindu~Vedic in origin. The concept of zero/nothingness and infinity are first found in the Vedas.

Yoga is a Hindu school of philosophy. One of the 6 astika darshana/orthodox schools.

And Kama Sutra was composed by a Hindu Sage as a Hindu text.

Quote from: Saathiya on May 19, 2011, 05:24 AM
hindus have been slaves to sticks and stones for a long time

Sounds like something a Christian would say.

All the worshipping of female idols in the world wont undo the damage of female infanticide, sati or wife beating. Doesnt matter what Ram says, bullshit is bullshit --dont matter how many ways you slice it.

Who says worshipping a female Goddess entails feminism?

Quote from: Prince Spinoza on May 20, 2011, 06:15 PM
I believe it was the Buddhists who first asserted that the self is an illusion, and we are just a stream of experiences. (An idea often credit to Hume it seems.) If so then breaking off the chain of experiences is to no longer be a part of the 'self'.

Yes.

Which sort of shoots itself in the foot. In order to say that, there should be a whole being with consciousness. And in order to assert that, there should be a contingent reality. And the negation of a 'self' requires a self. As it involves subject-object extrospection.

Quote from: Saathiya on May 20, 2011, 08:03 PM
Eh, I dont think so....I'm pretty sure it's Hinduism. Could be wrong.

Yes you are wrong. Because you dont know shit. You cannot hate and properly critique something which have no knowledge about and were never really a part of.

I suspect that you are a Christian or perhaps Muslim.

Too bad you are an unconverted Indian aka Hindu. Your family may be doing some religious practice which you think is "Hindu"/Vedic. All your life you never really were pressured to be religious. So theres nothing for you to get upset about unlike Ex-Muslims and Ex-Christians, who on the otherhand legitimately belong to overbearing religions that dramatically dictates and restricts their life. So you got nothing to cry about. You want to stop identifying yourself as a Hindu? Go right ahead. Noones stopping you, noone gives a shit. Poor you, you get no attention, can't be a victim and have something to whine about.

Yes it is. Even more important than the concept/understanding of God I dare say.
