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? 4 3 replies
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... 4 5 replies

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... 3 7 replies
I feel SHIVA is close?? I went through something recently about my career and how I pursued and tried to fit into a box for approval and it costed me my health.

Practical Sadhana (Relentless Repetition) Seen quite a few posts asking questions about how to rise above acquired/primitive tendencies such as lust, anger, gluttony or various other kinds of negative thoughts and habits, which are the hurdles we will need to overcome in the process of cleansing our mind and attaining Chitta Shuddhi. So sharing my 2 cents on this topic, and also what Sadhana in real life means to me, personally. Firstly, subduing these thoughts is never going to help, it will only make things worse. This is coming from someone who’s tried... 3 0 replies

How Yashoda became Sri Krishna’s mother for the second time | Vakula Devi Temple Yashoda did not meet Krishna ever since He left Mathura. However, when on her deathbed, Krishna came to meet His mother. She was happy but her only regret was that she could never see any of Krishna’s marriages.

In the Kali Yuga, Lord Vishnu appeared as Lord Venkateswara. This time too, Yashoda was His foster mother. Her name... 4 0 replies
