Infinity has no gender no agenda only love ,giving love without asking 😍

[@yananneteoh9818]

Oh yeah, be taught to cultivate this piety of selflessness as pure love, especially by the guru or swami to a young woman inspired to go to India in the early 70s to seek spiritual awakening and enlightenment. India was my first experience of travelling from a safe and predictable environment to an exotic, mystical infinity where the gods were alive on every lips, in every story and every street. KI was completely mesmerized since my first evening on the big open roof terrace in Madras. There I watched amazed as the huge balls of an enormous full moon met vis-a-vis in the sky before my very eyes. India cast me in a magic spell. My existence beautifully connected to Namaste, Om, Shanti, meditation... Others were in India with their dreams, realities, hippies, love, relationship, money and going naked on Arjuna beach in Goa. For us young Malaysians, It was a big thing to travel to India in 1973... esp when I found myself travelling solo Things happened in India. That bright moonlit night ina cove somewhere on Calangut beach, a young Indian lad with shiny dark skin and enormous eyes called Vishnu joined Joseph, my English guide and protector. He spoke very well and the three of us talked long into the night...about our beliefs in social justice, racism, equality, pure love like the love tested on us by he gods. Joseph started to doze off... Vishnu suddenly asked me, "Will you kissy me?" I was shocked and didn't answer. Of course I couldn't kiss him. He began to complain he didn't believe in pure love, equality, antiracism etc making me feel very guilty, like a hypocrite. I struggled thinking I should kiss him as he's equal to Joseph nd I really believe in love and peace... that I spoke truly and I was not a hypocrite... but I couldn't. He mumbled something and walked off. That made me ponder about what I should have done... whatever, I was glad I stood my ground.

Sir, I have problems with word mythology because we have many proofs about Krishna and Ram presence in India...like Rameshwaram, bridge joining Lanka , krishnapuram in Gujrat sea.

[@vishalahuja2136]

we have a proof of mohammed also. but can we prove that he was prophet? Mythology is inspired from reality but it does not reflect reality/history in the form of hard facts in the complete sense. For example the mahabharata war lasted for 18 days ( 1+8=9). kauravas had 11 troops while pandavas had 7(spiritual no.) troops. total =11+7=18 (again divisble by 9). In the geeta, human is described to have nava dwara (9 doors). Dont u think that above data represents more of a metaphor than hard facts. Its a beautiful poetry, so pls dont pollute with argument whether its history or not.

[@prosantomukerji3931]

@@vishalahuja2136 Vishal bhai, you are questioning if Mohammad was a prophet. Hinduism claims Sri Ram and Krishna were avatars of Vishnu without presenting any evidence in the last 5000+ years. Why? Is it a FALSE CLAIM? Hinduism claims to believe and follow "Ahinsha parmo dharma while worshiping KATILS like Sri Ram, Krishna, and Shiva. Ramayan narrates that Sri Ram, in rage and revenge, murdered Ravan and Khumbhkaran for Sita haran with the help of a monkey, Hanuman, that failed to pluck out a Sanjivini booty from Dorangiri parvat, yet the monkey broke apart the parvat. LOL. Monkeys, including Hanuman, evolved with a tail and NO wings necessary to fly; still, Ramayan narrated that Hanuman flew across Bharat carrying the parvat to light a fire with its flaming tail to Lanka to burn the inhabitants to death for KATIL Ram, thus committing the world's first genocide.

[@SnehaGupta-tj7by]

He was not. Balram is the elder brother so he was the king while Krishna was sort of a caretaker or protector

[@bhaveekjain4246]

@@SnehaGupta-tj7by nope. Krishna was the king of Dwarka(a city made and destroyed by devas). In Jain mythology he was a vasudeva and vasudevas are king of 3 khanda( chakrawarthis are king of 12 khanda) where as their elder half brother are called Baldeva, so Balram were a Baldeva and Baldevas are non violent. Same in case of Ramayana, Lakshman were a vasudeva and Ram were a Baldeva. Also it's a characteristic of Vasudeva to have a sudarshan chakra and are of violent nature because they have to fight prati vasudeva - Jarasand and Ravana in case of Krisna and Lakshmana respectively.

Devdutt : Krishna didn't say it. A poet said it. Me : !!? Doesn't our understanding of Krishna, also come from a poet. My version of Krishna is the Krishna, the rest is just poetry.

[@vishalahuja2136]

when he(Devdutt) said that the poet said it, he implied( without disrespecting) that, if poet approaches life with assumption of ahankara in the heart, then he will focus on comparisons. Hence, that's the poet bias behind the story of comparison. So Hari singh dinkar, the poet, is not the yogi. That does not mean he is bad or good person. It just implies that he has his own world view. While the bhagwata purana was composed by Ved vyasa and his disciples. They led the life of household and also that of yogi. Spirituality/life of yogi is opposite of materialism. It teaches you what is beyond hunger and insecurity, product of which includes ahankara. Idea of krushna is the idea of ved vyas. The concept of God as krushna, postulated through the lens of ved vyas. If krushna is purna purusha, the complete whole, then nobody is to be compared with, hence atma gyaan becomes the area of focus, rather than ahankara.

If there was too many gods, human would have been in different shapes as per their personal choice, but we human is in shape, why? When we make something like house or vehicles all engineers make it differently rather than making one model, the same model, why? So I mean to say that if there were too many gods, they would have been made this world differently in different shapes, but not happened like that, because we all have one God like us in our shapes. Laxmi is having many hands, Kali is having many hands and heads. Shiva is having snakes on his neck, but we do not keep snakes in our home, why? Hanuman is a monkey shaped. Anyone today believe that he was able to speak with his god Ram? 10 Headed gods, Sun god, Moon god, snake god, Cow god, Animal gods, Calf god. All these are gods and goddess of human?

Is there any mention of the rain and rainbow? How it mentioned about the animals and vegetation? Why Hinduism not spread in the world first before Christianity? Why all the inventions made by Jews and Christians and why not Hindus and Muslims? Every thing that we use today invented by Jews or Christians. Is it true? Then why so? Hindu gods are not knowledgeable? Do you believe Shiva is the Pharaoh who loved snakes? His figure and photos are depicted as a snake, His headscarf depicts as the head of a snake, chin as the body of a snake. His hair on his head depicts a whole snake, Bunch of his head hair that pandits today keep on their head, what it means other than a snake? Pharaoh was a pandit as today’s Pandits who perform Pooja and rituals like Pharaoh did in Mishr (Egypt) in front of a statue god, Sun god and other creation of this world. Pharaoh fought war on chariots like Krishna and Pandavas that resembles in Mahabharata war. I have so many such questions.

Para does not mean the other. It means beyond the mind and body.when u go beyond the mind body,you identify with your atma as Self and not identify with mind body. That is Atmagyan. Atmagyan separates the real from the relative.in the relative world there is karma, there is right and wrong,action and reaction, raag and dwesh, all duality.an atmagyani lives in the relative without being involved in it, meaning he watches himself in the third person. The panda va are the five senses, dhravpati is the prakruti( physical body) and Krishna is the Atma.
