Digest Number 304

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sri adi_shaktiji,

 

Thank you for your well written reply, it certainly is

laden with facts and thank you for your compliments

too, i guess everyone is as much as a child of devi as

I am, but I got to childofdevi first, but

your are adi_shakti, the primordial mother, so my

heartfelt pranams to you!

 

I cannot but agree with all that you have said. Jesus

is indeed considered to be a yogi in the kriya yoga

school, some statements in the bible cannot be

understood otherwise but only in the light of yoga.

He himself possessed the astasiddhies as can be

clearly be seen in the bible.

>bargain , they did lose something - they got alinated

>from their own

>culture...

 

is it better for them to be away from a culture that

treats them like animals or in a culture that gives

them some semblance of equality. i am only referring

to the attitudes of the average hindu who is probably

not very different from the average christian.

 

the main point that i wanted to convey was that there

are bad christians and bad hindus, but that does not

make christianity or hinduism necessarily bad.

>THERE IS AN INTERESTING STORY IN THE LIFE OF ADI

>SHANKARA... once

 

this is the story from the madhaviya sankara digvijaya

but a lot of people tend to believe that it is not

true. didnt he burst out in a stotra when he learnt

that the untouchable was Siva himself- do you happen

to know what it was(i just cant remember it).

>WE HAVE MANY RISHIS WHO BELONG TO LOWER CASTES...

 

the great compiler of the vedas himself, vyasa was

born of a fisherwoman and according to manu dharma

shastra would be an untouchable(born out of wedlock, a

anuloma union, higher caste man with a lower caste

woman).

>IS THE ONLY SAVIOUR not because I can have a better

>standard of

>life!!

 

adi_shaktiji i would like to disagree with you on

this-spirituality cannot be begotten on a empty

stomach. material improvement is sine qua non for

spiritual progress for the majority of

people(disclaimer: my own viewpoint)

 

it is also interesting that you mentioned varna as the

basis of the caste system. varna in sanskrit also

means colour- i have a very interesting theory on the

caste sytem based on varna ; which is very much in

sync with modern techniques such as Kirlian

photography that lets you see the pranayamakosha;

which i will post some other time.

 

in conclusion let me congragulate you on your wealth

of knowledge and you are a great contributor to this

forum.
