What happened to Mayavati/Rati after Pradyumna dies?

How I experienced divinity Hi All, hope you all are doing well. This is something that happened with me 2 years back that I'd like to share here since I think this is the appropriate sub where I won't get debuffed. My parents have brought me up to be a rational and practical child. I've always questioned religion and religious practices, not to debunk it, but to understand the 'Why' behind it. I've also had a brief stint as an atheist sometime in college. (Blame the raging hormones) I got to experience Hinduism... 1 0 replies

A boy's beliefs For the past year, I was an athiest. My mother was disappointed but I adamently stuck to my beliefs. It is only after some thinking and discussions with my father that I have come to a temporary conclusion. The "gods" that we believe in like Vishnu, Siva, etc are not completely true. They are simplified versions or stories created by the "enlightened" to get us started on our journeys since we, at our current stage cannot truly understand/comprehend what they percieve as "gods". Like how some professors explain complex... 2 0 replies

What is devotion, and is it necessary? Whenever I find myself getting egoic, the form of worship (whether it’s god, guru or deity) becomes dualistic in nature. Almost unbearable to worship because the ego feels hurt and weak compared to the holy symbols of worship. A sense of ‘I’m better than you, why should I worship you?’. However, this feeling disappears whenever I find myself less egoic. I actually feel close to the form of worship, a deep spiritual connection uncovers. So what is devotion, and is it necessary? Should one who is deeply egoic, try... 4 0 replies
