Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 RE: " Why do you make such a statement ? Religion is said to be eternal. " If I may add to this discussion: Religion Vs Dharma Are the two words synonymous and interchangeable? Religion literally means that which leads one to God. " Dharma " is derived from the root Sanskrit word " dhri " which means " to hold together " . It has a wider meaning than the word " religion " . There is no equivalent word for Dharma either in English or in any other language. In this sense, Hinduism is not a religion; it's a " Dharma " . Those who profess the Hindu Dharma and seek to follow it, are guided by spiritual, social and moral rules, actions, knowledge and duties which are responsible for holding the human race together. Hindu Dharma is also known by the names " Sanatana Dharma " and " Vaidik Dharma " . " Sanatana " means eternal and all-pervading and " Vaidik Dharma " means the Dharma based on the Vedas. In simple terms, one can say that Dharma means code of conduct, i.e. doing the right thing, in thought, word and deed, having always in mind that behind all our deeds there is a Supreme Being. This is the teaching of the Vedas, which are the original source of our Dharma – " Vedo - Khilo Dharma Moolam.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 dear suresh pls note, according, hinduism or christianity or islam, all just PATHS to realise HIM. the most basic idea of religion is to realise THAT supreme power/bliss the feeling of my alone religion or my worshipped idea of IDOL alone is true is often disturbing the world. which is nothing but dogma. this what majority of christian missionaries, many muslims many vaishnavas are preaching. according to todays (particularly american )christian missionaries, JESUS alone is the salvation, hence they expect evey one to follow only jesus that too only in church. for this they are ready to do any nasty things. according muslims, ALLAH alone is supreme, if any one says ALLAH is not supreme, he is eligible to be killed ( this is applicable to a muslim telling ALLAH is not supreme). according to vaishnavas, perticularly harekrishnas, for them KRISHNA alone is god, rest of them DEMI GODS. they dont accept equality among all gods. this feeling we may seen in some shaivas also. but very important point that every one should know is, first and fore most, EXPERIENCE HIM. or listen to one who has experienced HIM completely. thakur has experienced HIS existence in all most all forms and practised all bhavas and got the supreme gnana. after that , he said ALL RELIGIONS ARE JUST PATHS. NO RELIGION IS SUPREME OVER THE OTHER GOD INCARNATES IN MANY FORMS. HERE (INDIA) HE IS KRISHNA, IF YOU SEE OVER THE OTHER SHORE, HE IS CHRIST OR ALLAH THE BASIC PURPOSE OF ALL RELIGIONS IS TO REALISE HIM. THE END PRODUCT OF REALISATION ENDS IN SUPREME GNANA (BRAHMA GNANA) OR PARA BHAKTI. BOTH ARE ONE AND THE SAME. THIS IS VERY CLEAR. jai thakur submitted to holy feet of thakur narendra sastry Suresh <suresh_rathnam wrote: Why do you make such a statement ?Religion is said to be eternal.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & lr= & q=%22Eternal+Religion%22+eternally+true & btnG=SearchRespectfully,Suresh How much free photo storage do you get?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Suresh Ji, Truth is eternal, truth stays unaltered, but we use different ways to express our "IDEAS" of truth. In the measure of infinity, as yardstick, nothing prevails but the "TRUTH"! We are trying to find that out through different ways. That is all. Om tat sat.

" I think that your statement deserves further exploration. It is true that many American Christians hold the viewpoint, so very well expressed in your message. However, the vast majority of Christians worldwide, especially of the Roman Catholic denomination, will slowly come to realize that Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was the re-incarnation of the Saviour. The Vatican has been silent on Sri Thakurji. They perhaps see a New Dispensation.....maybe, reluctant to accept the 'NEW'. Om Shanthi Om PS: You may ask: " Why the Roman Catholic denomination? " The answer to that, is simply, the Devotion to Mary, the Divine Mother. In that, we find the connection to the most ancient of religions...the worship of Kali. ==================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 dear wwwebmonitor i am very clearly mentioned that christian MISSIONARIES, i didn't say christians. what all american good christians can do for all nasty actions such as destroying life styles, cultures and civilizations in third world countries particularly in india by these missionaries? it is the defect in the LAW and ORDER, which is mainly biased for these missionaries, hence it has no religious scope for all their actions. it is very clear that what majority of them are doing is nothing but business. they are selling JESUS, by any means in place like india, where every one keeps up his life for his GOD. it is also very clear that missionaries aim is to create separate colonies in the name of religion later to gain power of india. once again it is out of scope on religious discussion jai thakur cheers narendra sastrywwwebmonitor <borgengruft wrote: RE: "according to todays (particularly american )christianmissionaries, JESUS alone is the salvation, hence they expect .. .. .. ....the worship of Kali.==================================== How much mail storage do you get for free?
