Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Om Shivaya Namaha. I am really confused and pls donot be offended with my question and details below, pls clarify me. In this birth, i have done quiet a few bad things, but now have started to do good things. I know in this life i will not get MOKSHA. I am going to be born again. Being a Hindu and if i have started practising Sadhna and before Moksha if i die, its going to be a rebirth again. May be not as a Human again but as anthing, but if in my next human birth is there a possibility of me following another religion in which rebirth and karma is not beleived and will i start bashig at our Hinduism? or still will i be born as Hindu and have a chance of taking steps towards my Moksha? In this case why did christianity just 20centuries old, Muslims 16 centuries old came into existance AGAINST our Hinduism which is Old? I am still confused, even if we assume christianity and muslim birth is a part of rebirth to learn certain things, will the final birth or prior to these have to be hindus again the road to Moksha? Or is it like this, a soul has to suffer / enjoy only one human birth and take rebirth as something else? Dear Readers, iam not trying to make any point but iam in a state of confusion. pls feel free to post your replies. I am strongly beleiver of Hinduism. Thanks and best regards Senthil. Shivaya Nama Aum. Thiruchitrambalam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 It depends on many things. Remember, all religons, even violent ones that hate everyone, serve some purpose. I person who thinks of God for even a few minutes is better than one who doesnt think at all. People who just evolved from animals wont understand Vedant, so for them its ok to goto Church/Mosque everyday & pray daily etc. As regards a Hindu Sadhak, his next life depends on the progress in this life. If he wasnt seriously interested in spirituality, he maybe born anywhere, in any religon. Remember, you cant fool God by pretending to be religious. But he was serious, he will be born in similar circumstances so he can continue his progress. In the Gita Krishna said that worship with Form is better than formless worship. There is a reason for this. Divine beings like Shiva, Krishna, Durga are not just abstract principals(like Mayawadins claim), but real Beings who live in the Higher realms & are beyond Time & Death. So if you are a follower of Shiva, he wont forget you, even if you forget him. Every life, he will bring conditions in your life which will turn you towards Him. So you have nothing to fear. Your Ishta Devtaa will never forget you, & force you on the path of God every in every life, till you are Free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when I started my sadhna long ago...this was the first question which came to my mind...and lot of my nears and dears who started sadhna put the same question. Let me not reply to this question. Let Krishana reply to you. In Gita when Arjuna asks Arjuna - What happens to those Yogis who start with sincerety, but due to some materialistic hiderances, leave their way or the one who starts this Yoga and dies before getting Moksha...what happens to him?.. has he not lost both physical world and your Loka ? Shri Krishna - Hey Partha...a Yogi is never at loss either in this world or in Other/Astral worlds. Unsuccessful Yogis go to good astral worlds enjoy there, and then take re-birth in the household of pious people, or rich people and start their Yoga from where they left it in last birth Those who did rigorous yoga but missed Moksha take birth in a household where there are all yogis and thus he remembers his last birth and re-starts (Gita chapter 6) Shri Auribindo says in "Synthesis of Yoga" - Those who select God, must be sure that it is God who selected them First....so God takes care for our new birth and ensures that we start again from where we left. > > In this case why did christianity just 20centuries old, Muslims 16 > centuries old came into existance AGAINST our Hinduism which is Old? > > I am still confused, even if we assume christianity and muslim birth > is a part of rebirth to learn certain things, will the final birth or > prior to these have to be hindus again the road to Moksha? > > Or is it like this, a soul has to suffer / enjoy only one human birth > and take rebirth as something else? > >- In gita again Shri Krishna reveals -" Yam Yam vaapi....bhavita (8/6) What ever you think at the last moment of life..just before death..you will see the same So the christian thinking of Jesus will see him after death...muslim will see Mohammed after death and hindus may see Krishna, Shiva, Hanuman,Ganesh,Durga after death. But these are differrent forms of same Heaven (astral level) The concecpt of Moksha is unique in Hinduism, and most of the Hindus even dont know it. Most of the hindus are bhakta who believe in deities like christians muslims or jews do. That is why the masses who believe in some heaven/hell after life go to such astral levels...come back and mother Nature as per their mental evolution give them a body. As for getting into a family of non-hindus...Romand Rolland, Mother (aurobindo's disciple) and many other christians were born in strict catholic families, but became great saints of hinduism. Even in our Group here, there are examples where people of other religions turned towards hinduism and made good progress...some examples in this group are Jaya Kesava Dasa - born Catholic but turned to Hare Krishna Aum Agni Devi - born in strict Greek catholic...but master in Tantra Imtiyaz - born a muslim but progressed in Buddhism Devi Bhakta - born a christian but perfected in Shakta Path Adreamgoddess - born as Bahai (perhaps) and turned to Tantra MrTarun - born as strict catholic but turned to Hare Krishna Nora- born as muslim but turned to immense sadhna in Shakta path Tatwamasi - born in a communist family..but slowly turning to Vedanta I myself was an atheist till 1992 and suddenly overnight..i was forced to believe in God and in Hinduism. So we should not really worry... god will take care of our next birth if we are sincere to him And please feel free to flout any of the posts if you are not satified...we are very mature here and welcome constructive criticism with my love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Progession graph is like this(NOTE: Offensive to Communists, PC people, so turn away now if you are one of these): Animal->Muslim->Christian->Sikh/Bahai etc->Buddhist->Hindu->Moksha. Of course you can move back as well.......but dont worry, you have reached the end of the chain, & unless you seriously mess up, only way is forward.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 > What ever you think at the last moment of life..just before > death..you will see the same I have a question about this point. So if you dont think about God all your life, but only think about God at death time, will you goto God? There is even a story in the Puranas where a non-religious person, who had named his son Vishnu, when he was dying, called out "Help me Vishnu" for his son, but the real Vishnu came, & took him to heaven. Now the man was proably calling his son Vishnu to teach him somehting illegal like how to mix dropsy oil with normal oil & cheat people. So is the real Vishnu so stupid that he was fooled into thinking the man was calling him, even though he was calling his son? Or is the story made up for lazy people, who think that just by naming their children after Gods they will goto heaven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you dont think about God all you are perhaps talking about Ajamil Brahmin, whose son's name was Narayan and he called his name and vishnu came to his rescue. Well I dont believe in this crap. In one of my older posts, i had flouted this point, which raged some Vaishnaviites. The Truth is that at the time of Death, moments before the last breath, no one can remember a thing which he never cared the whole life. Most of the materialistic people, think about the children, wife, nears and dears or property. The strongest Sanskaar made during the life time, comes up during the death. Some may speak god's name out of fear of death, but it does not have any value....as we cant fool God. It is if someone has really worshipped God with full heart, only he will remember God...with love at the last moments. Sometimes even those whom we hated too much, become our attention at the time of death... I saw the truth of this when I had a near death experience(NDE) in 1990, while i drowned into Siene river in Paris... I just saw face of my little daughter and thought about her while i was drowning... I forgot everything else...no god, no wife or parents. I have had another NDE during 2000 when I saw exactly how death comes, how our sense organs behave and how we think at the time of death. Death is different for different people. Most of the common herd just feel themselves going fast into a black deep tunnel...and then they lose consciousness...and wake up only in the next birth Those who are little advanced on spiritual scale... remain consious, and see their whole life as a film played reverse. In some moments they see their whole life, its lessons, its problems...and the strongest Vritti which they nourished throughout the life, becomes their center of attention...which also decides their next move whethe it to heaven, hell or next birth I remember one of our neighbour old lady was dying, and people around her gathered and her son was pouring Gangajal in her mouth and asked her to utter Ram Ram... The old woman who had never worshipped god in her life... was just shaking her head..she tried to speak Ram- Ram, but could not...and died horribly eyes popping out and mouth open! So those Puranic stories of bad people, just uttering the name of his son, which is same name of God..and god comes to help is Crap and has no relation to the truth. with my love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think the Puranic stories were meant for ordinary folk, to explain them complicated things in simple language. The Vedas were written in Esoteric Sanskrit, which meant few could understand them. So fraud Pandits were exploiting people by claiming they had to do complicated rituals to goto heaven. So the authors of the Puranas simplified the concepts of Vedas & Upanishads. So Indra, God of Divine Mind who rains showers of knowledge, became just an ordinary demi-god of rain. Varun, God of Vastness, became demi-god of Sea. The Puranas also invented their own symbology, which is different to one given in the Vedas. Some old concepts like the Cow of knowledge were lost. Some, like Agni were kept but given a different status. The problem arises, I think, when people argue the knowledge in Puranas in superior to that of Vedas/Upanishads. The Puranic stories are simplifications of the Truth, but to say they are the Truth is foolhardy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
