At what point does a soul go so low that God must take form to personally end them?

i’ve been thinking a lot about the evils and goods in this world. Though i know those who do evil never truly find inner peace if they never change their ways, and that their actions will always have consequences in Karma, i still think about Times were these evils could no longer be allowed to stay and have to be personally taken out by God. For example, When Durga fought Raktabija and entered a Rage and become our mother, Maa Kali, or Vishnu when he took form as Narishma,...

any good search tool or way to find a verse in shastra on a sertain topic?

imo it would be incredibly helpful to so so many youngsters like me who live a normal western life and sometimes need some words from the scriptures not just "do what you think is right" or "yeah just think god is with you". that's good but reading from what actually happened or was said by Bhagwan hits different. besides Geeta which is quite deep, theres so much wisdom and so many verses in Ramayana and MBT that would be useful, but its not like the bible and quran where...

Should I fast on this Mahashivratri?

Please give me honest and factual answers. Been a Lord Shiva bhakt since a kid, just like my father. Mahashivratri is the only festival i celebrated from the bottom of my heart and fasted each year happily. But I lost my father at a young age at the most unexpected way. I left everything related to the religion. This Mahashivratri will be the first without him physically. Honestly don't feel like fasting so because I don't care anymore but I had a thought how my behaviour affects my dear...

Help with prayers

Recently I had an exam and was waiting on the results and started to chant the bajraang baan 3 times a day until the results day. Come results day, I get a very poor result and disappoint my whole family. I am not angry nor disappointed at Hanuman ji and fully surrender to his bhakthi. But recently I have another exam in a week and continuing the baan is just bringing me negative thoughts, making me feel less calm and makes me anxious - is this Hanuman's ji way...

Rajarshi Nandy ji's perspective on Ranveer Allahbadia controvery

Namaste friends. Rajarshi Nandy is someone I respect and think is quite wise. And this is is his perspective on the crude and disappointing behavior of Ranveer. In the first chapter of Yoga Vashistha, one of reasons Lord Ram expresses: "There is no worse danger than egoism......Doing anything with egoism is unreal." Thus, in light of Ranveer showing his "shadow" through his actions, I wonder if, in Ranveer's egoism, he thought he could make such comments without any negative effects on his reputation. Please let me know your thoughts....

As a Hindu, how do you decide what's superstition and what's dharma?

For Muslims and Christians, anything that's not a part of their scriptures, could be dismissed as superstition. But for Hindus with numerous sects and traditions, how does one decide what's part of dharma and what is superstition?

Journey of leaving dharma and finding it again

I grew up not understanding anything about being Hindu. I used to go to temple and hated being there. I was staunchly atheist and had no real guiding principles of life other than loving science. I would learn about world religions in undergrad and a lot of them just never resonated with me. The abrahamic religions seemed to have a God who was a metaphorical kid with a magnifying glass on an anthill. It was also very exclusionary and how could you say to a ton of people, they...

How does "denomination" interplay with schools of thought

From what I've read it seems like the distinction between denominations is small due to the concept of Ishtadevata. I heard someone said that Krishna was devoted to Shiva and vice versa so that aspect wasn't a big point of contention. But how does it interact with philosophical schools? While it seems like Vaishnavism and Shavaism aren't really competitors, I get a different impression from the schools. Is there a larger divide between a vishishtadvaita and a dvaita Vaishnavite than between people of different denominations?

Hindu philosophy to find solace in grief

I want to prefix this by saying that I was raised Hindu, but am nastik now. I do not follow any Hindu rituals any longer. Scriptures were a significant part of my upbringing. I had memorised important chapters from the Bhagwad Gita. My home used to resonate with the sounds of shlokas every Sunday. Everybody in my family is deeply religious even today, except me. An important elder in my life recently passed away. I have tried and failed to find solace in things like work and exercise. But...

Question regarding Kaliyuga

I think we all know about **Kalpas i.e. Bramha years (1 Bramha day=8.64 billion years and 1 Brahma year = 3.1104 trillion human years.)** and that **we're in the 51st Kalpa as of now**. My question is that does each kalpa have a different turn of events for yugas most specifically Kaliyuga where divine intervention by God will not be as grand and usual as the other four yugas. Like for example X person was murdered on 5th November,1985 so will that same person X die in every kalpa's...
