I come from a Christian culture and the Bible is in my bones. I would not recommend Leviticus for a smooth read, however! Or the God herself himself or itself is a non interfering observer. He the process owner of these creation and possible empowered the life to seek the wisdom on its own. I learnt about it as Sakshi — witnesses or scrupulous observer. Hinduism is not Theism no one doctrine binds it.
It is a continuum of learning experiencing and elevating. Possibly Jesus is one who achieved such wisdom consciousness. Buddha is another such. But each of other humans have to discover their own path of salvation. If you need to elevate yourself to God means, is this an effort of yourself or combined effort of God and you? Why do you need to elevate to God? There is no strict direction to this path! From primitive life to forms of present day humans , a hidden conjecture of some advancement is embedded.
There may be really no evidence or measure for such. New research on how many bacteria cells exist on human body, point to the earth being ruled by bacteria? The quest is to attain that. May be it can surely come closer to the seeker! God he, she or it is seen as non interfering observer. Therefore, there is no clear response of it he or she to get closer or farther. Death is not moksha.
Death is only for the body which is bound by law of physics on earth such as gravity, growth and decay. Bible is all about fear so that humble people follow the book, get converted and empower Christianity. The essence of humanity is within you and has to be revealed not by another but yourself. Look within. If you think heaven is a better place to be you should hurry up and go there. Every moment of your life is wasted on earth as you delay. Others would be happy here without you.
Yes we have intelligence, and that intelligence is to choose between good and bad. The road to heaven is very narrow and perhaps only a few reach it in first shot. To me that would mean using a book like Bible is only an aid to open up your mind so that you may look beyond a book. Lets not forget if the Bible or for that matter any religious book that claims to be written by god himself can only be a hollow claim as the Bible has so many versions and gets revised much too frequently.
Does god do that or is it someone feeling a little uncomfortable about the older version. Friends the mind is god made, the Bible is not. Religion only divides humanity with hatred for those who do not subscribe to THE one exclusive faith. Conversion is for the power hungry and a convenient excuse to eliminate unbelievers one way or another.
Christianity and Islam the religions that convert have used this method and fine tuned it to dominate the world. I understand conversion as the greatest sin. Live in the present not the past or dream of the future. Be open to what this wonderful world has to offer in so many ways. That all is also created by god. Totally agree, Brahm Mishra. All texts, be they Bhagavad Gita, the Vedas or the Bible, are there to point beyond themselves.
There is a problem with the Bible though…. Then, gone is the moon! Now we are stuck with the finger. Its an endless search. The search is for oneness and unity with all there is. Its is called yoga. We must rely, therefore, upon men who are fully fluent in English and Greek to translate. It is one bible translated in different languages. Its a bread of life to those who hunger for life. The most wonderful part of bible is its says about past, about our present, and the future, future of humankind is written in the bible, You are absolutely wrong if u think i m introducing a religion, no i m not interested in religion either, I m interested in having a relationship, relationship with GOD who created everything and the relationship is through Jesus christ.
Topic was on Moksha salvation and yes i m interest on that, the ultimate peace. Jesus is the prince of peace. All the thoughts of human mind, all the ideas, languages will fade away, But the word of God will stand forever. Have a great day. These versions are merely different, often updated, translations.
So, quick! Better hunker down and believe in this Jesus guy, just in case I miss out on eternal life! If there is such a thing as eternal life, it does not come through any person other than oneself — no Jesus, no personal God, but something called moksha, the original topic of this thread. Hi Savita, Eternal life that comes from Jesus is different from Moksa that you want to attain. You believe that your God has called you for Moksa after your physical death. But Christians believe the eternal life starts from the moment they receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior right down on this earth.
Bible says that everyone will be resurrected. For Christians that will be a moment to see whom they believed before their physical death is true God and for everyone who did not believe in Jesus is to know that Jesus is the true God! Because Jesus the God of Bible cares for all whether Christians or non Christians and tells the remedy to see the true God. In deed He claims that He is the only true God. But do the Hindu Gods cares about the after life of non Hindus?. If so what is the remedy do they have for non Hindus?
Hinduism worships cow as one of their Deities but Christ calls His worshippers to worship Him alone. Molly, All you are saying is that belief is essential and without it nothing happens. I understand that belief is essential for the simple minded, not for others who wish to search for a better answer to human life. You can fool people one time but to fool them all the time should not work.
If you get blindfolded its one thing but to blindfold yourself is foolish. Hi Bramh, Jesus tells all humans are sinners by birth, in a way blindfolded to Truth. So knowing Him as our Savoir is to remove that blindfold but not the other way! Your perception that Conversion is for the power hungry and a convenient excuse to eliminate unbelievers one way or another. Christianity and Islam the religions that convert have used this method and fine tuned it to dominate the world, needs correction.
The religion of Christ Peace be upon him became a political power only when it was embraced by the Roman Emperor and his people. Until then it was religion of poor and oppressed people. How do you believe that poor and oppressed Christians could have applied power of intimidation on such mighty Roman empire to make it convert to Christianity?
In fact the religion of Christ peace be upon him had in that era an intrinsic force of appeal that worked on Roman Empire. Now, while hundreds of churches are closing down in transatlantic nations, Islam is the fast expanding religion.
Again Islam in Transatlantic nations is religion of poor Muslim immigrants, who accounti for only 2, 3 , or 5 percent of native population and have no power of intimidation to apply. Yet native Christians are embracing Islam. Again it is the intrinsic force of appeal that is working. Unlike Hinduism that divides humanity in four vertical classes of honour and rights, Islam says Man is vicegerent of Allah on this Earth, and so every human being is entitled to same honour and rights.
Being vicegerent of Allah means the purpose of human life is to worship and obey Allah in all walks of life, to take care of himself,his family,his clan, his neighbourhood, and humanity according to the will and dictates of Allah. Spread all what is good and stop all what is evil. So with intrinsic force of appeal has always been working behind conversions. It is not the work of power hungry people. Dr Tahir talks about Allah and all that and claims he knows better.
Dr Tahir please try to understand what you say is just a simple and innocent belief. Nothing more. Religions direct one to ONLY believe. Your mind is the greatest gift of the Creator bestowed on you. Forget the word God which is an invention by religions. Why is there inner fighting in Islam today when it is suppose be a religion of peace? What peace when masses were converted or killed? Nowadays social networks and instant messaging dominated the world communication system. HMU meaning on FB.
I have read various scriptures of Hinduism as Srimad Bhagawadam, Bhagawad Gita from various authors and the original ones. I have also gone through innumerable websites of Hinduism spiritual teachings. In more simple words, we all human beings may it be Hindu, Muslim, Christians, Sikhs, Isaiah etc are born for the sole purpose of attaining the Almighty God God hear means the one and only one God which we call by various names as Allah, Krishna, Rama, Rahim, Kali, Jesus etc.
Now you may be confused what does attaining God means, in broader terms it is difficult to explain in this simpler platform. But in brief words, to attain god means to realize the temporary nature of material pleasures and ask and attain the unlimited bliss or ananda or happiness from the spiritual world by associating with our true nature. Our true nature is bliss or unlimited ananda or unlimited happiness that cannot be comprehended by the material senses. This happens by realization of soul and meaning of life according to Hinduism means to get freedom from unlimited cycle of birth and death and go back to the realm of God and remain with him eternally where there is no sickness, no death, no birth, no lusty desires, no competition; only service to the Allmight lord Krishna Narayan and getting immense pleasures by serving the Lord.
Religion is not meant to be studied from a book, i agree it is a good starting point. This world is a maya, an illusion made possible by the all powerful mother Vishnu and father Vishnu. You can experience that realization by direct practice in kundalini yoga under the guidence of a competent guru who has been through it.
In conclusion, at the end of the journey to awaken the kundalini, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. I promise you that my friends. You do not have to retreat in the Himalayas to find this teacher, just close your eyes while sitting in a quiet room, focus on your breath, and the sound of OM. The teacher resides within you. Search my friends inside your self , and you will find your god, your Krishna, allah, or Jesus.
Great article …Thanks for your great information seo agency tools the contents are quiet interesting. I will be waiting for your next post. Enlightening post! Would love to read more of your articles while having zeal protein shake. Thanks for the share! But then the Bible claims Christ died for the sins of all humanity.
I would understand that to mean that all births taking place after that date would be free of sins past or future.! Its double speak to also claim conversion wiping out all sins when sins have already been wiped out on the cross. We are not born in debt, due to our senses and desires we become obligated to debt; we just cannot take and never return. The moment we desire to take we become indebted; this is what it means to born in debt.
Just live desireless do your duties towards all existence around you and become free, this is called Moksha, free from birth and death, ever-existing Atman. The concept of Christianity is that God made this world, he is a powerful spirit, Almighty, all knowing.
God made man in his own image and likeness. Which means He doesnt look to different from us perhaps. He made man out of the earth, and put his breath into us. Ofcourse he did not give us his intelligence, only a part of it and he gave us a soul, mind, intellect in a body.
But when man disobeyed him and fell into temptation by Satan, God felt sad and he cast away his beloved creation from Paradise where everything from free for him. After he was cast away from paradise, man had to do everything himself, find his own food, etc, gradually sin increased, man killing his own brother, lust, greed, gluttony, man also started worshipping other idols he himself made, idols if brass, animals, etc, there was slavery, sexual sins, deceit, treacherous rulers etc….
Born out of the spirit of God and conceived in the womb of a Virgin. When Jesus died on the cross, blood and water gushed forth from his body as a fountain of mercy for mankind. God said, this is my son with whom i am well pleased. All authority in heaven and earth is given to him. Ask anything of him in my Name and it shall be done for you.
But you must believe. He will judge the living and the dead. The God of the Christians is a merciful God, a loving God and he promised no more floods, famines pestilences which he used to send previously out of anger on his people.

Destiny means we do not have freewill, life is precisely planned, and can be exactly predicted by any high level yogi. Here is an example of such a prediction. When she entered the office of the yogi, he told Pat to ask seven questions and one by one she did. Then the yogi picked up a paper from his desk, turned it upside down, and gave that to her.
In that paper all her questions were already written along with their answers. I did not read all the comments. But my compassion is from my consciencesness, Self. It is my Dharma. This is a great post. Your Blog the very informative I have learned some information about your blog. Great information…I am happy to find this post Very helpful for me, as it contains a lot of information. Your Blog the very informative i have learned some information about your blog.
We are top Mobile App Development. All religions are the same is indeed a true statement but religions are not dharma. Having said that I must also add that there are religions within dharma, religions like Arya Samaj, Swami Narayan, etc. Religions are man made while dharma is not, it follows a natural and universal path for humanity to evolve. The foundation of dharma is truth and justice without injury to life either human, animal or plant and nature.
This is only possible with full awareness. It is only with dharma one may fulfill enlightenment. In contrast religions other than dharmic or vedic religions have no restraints, logic or reason. Blind belief in a prophet like Jesus or Mohammad is all they rely on. Followers are led to trust and accept only what the clergy teaches, no questions asked.
They are led to believe in a reserved seat in some elusive heaven or an everlasting penalty in hellfire. So far there has been no evidence of either heaven or hellfire. Satellites have failed. Religions could be said to fully depend on only compulsive behavior.
This is not such an enlightened conversation from my point of observation…… The true nature of reality is beyond conceptualization…. What if Jesus was the reincarnation of Buddha? Religion is not the problem, its the inability to die to self……and we have to die many times before ego can be transformed…..
Thanks for sharing Grateful content…you want to search someting related to love quotes in hindi and love story in hindi to follow this site to give you quality and great content. Great article, but I have a question. Hence it applies to all human beings all over the world, regardless of race, gender, or culture. That the constitutional position of spirit soul or atman and Bhagavan is the same for everyone.
I do not know how much time and interest you have or your age etc. He is a visionary. You may also read up on history to find details about genocide by Islam and Christianity all over the world to forcefully establish blind belief systems for greed and power. They believed this as their new faith in a one god and understood it as superior.
Two thousand years ago there was no Christianity or Islam. Judaism and other so called religions of the world before AD had no interest in conversion, only teachings. However, they must not become attached to this wealth. Moksha is the ultimate aim in life for Hindus. It means to be saved salvation. When a Hindu achieves moksha, they break free from the cycle of samsara.
Hindus aim to end the cycle of samsara through gaining good karma, which means doing good actions and deeds. Therefore, the actions of their previous lives and the actions of their mortal life today are all part of their effort to break the cycle of samsara, which each individual Hindu works towards.
The purpose of life The purpose of life for Hindus is to achieve four aims, called Purusharthas. Kama and karma are not the same thing — kama refers to sensual pleasure or desire and karma refers to the law that every action has an equal reaction either immediately or at some point in the future. One of the commonest forms of giving is anna dana , the sharing of food with others. In the orthodox tradition a householder is expected to partake of food only after it has been reverentially offered to the deities, the ancestors, the mendicant, and those dependent on him.
On religious and other important occasions anna dana may be undertaken on a large scale. Some Hindus organize a special meal for the needy, or donate to a charitable cause, in memory of the deceased.
To refuse hospitality to one who comes to your door is an unpardonable act. The Chandgoya Upanishad 4. They dismiss the starving young student on their doorstep. He did not expect such treatment from such reverend persons. When he finds out that they both worship Vayu, the wind-god, also called prana breath, life-force , the young man reminds the sages that prana , which pervades the universe, also pervades the hungry mortal, who is also part of this universe.
In neglecting the young man, they are not honouring the divine. Although this passage focuses on theological questions, it is not without practical implications — that there is no point in worshipping Brahman Supreme Being in all creation while ignoring the needs of others. Charity is more than merely giving; it involves the sharing of resources with others, be it wealth, food or other things. It may involve giving to philanthropic causes — providing rest-houses, planting trees, digging wells.
Similarly, the kings of Thanjavur in the nineteenth century were renowned for establishing chatrams , centres of hospitality located along the road to pilgrim centres, which took care of the needy, the sick and those who died in their care.
With the advent of colonialism, chatrams were deprived of this important role. What we see today in these traditional institutions of hospitality are scenes of hunger, starvation and deprivation. Raja Sarfoji, the king of Thanjavur, in a letter to the British colonial masters in , implored them to ensure that whatever else might befall his state, this tradition of hospitality would not be curtailed or done away with.
But the British came to see these traditional institutions of hospitality as a wasteful use of resources. The Indian kings were warned against directing funds to their maintenance, and elite Indians were quick to internalize this attitude. With the Famine Commission Report of , an elaborate state-controlled bureaucratic management of supply and distribution of food was introduced, thus discouraging the existing centres of hospitality and undermining the religious and cultural values underpinning them.
The Bhagavata Purana states that we have no right to claim more than what is required for our basic purposes. The Mahabharata recommends that one third of our wealth is used for philanthropic purposes. Gandhi made a telling remark to Nehru about the wasteful use of water. Gandhi was embarrassed but Nehru assured him that there was plenty of water in his hometown of Allahabad where there are three rivers, the Ganga, the Jamuna and the Sarasvati.
You have three great rivers in your home town but my share in those rivers is only one jug of water a morning and no more. Hindu beliefs such as maya, karma and rebirth have been seen as not conducive to progress. In fact the term maya is also used to indicate that this world is a manifestation of the divine creative power. Understood rightly, maya does not deny the reality of the empirical world. Although within the tradition there is both affirmation and negation of this world, it is the negation that has been given exclusive emphasis in some approaches to Hinduism.
The Hindu sannyasi renunciant is seen as lacking concern for this world and therefore unable to contribute to the material welfare of society.
