Do you agree with the idea that Brahman is space itself? This is an excerpt from the book "The philosophy of Brahma Sutra" by Aleksandar Uskokov. "Several points are important for Bādarāyaṇa to make with respect to this account of creation of the five elements. First, some traditions such as Nyāya- Vaiśeṣika do not include space among the elements, and the commentators rehearse their reasons, the most important of which is that space accommodates origination—things originate in space—such that it makes no sense for space itself to originate. Bādarāyaṇa rejects their arguments on theological grounds, which we need not rehearse.... 3 0 replies
Spinal Breathing was a mistake After researching about all types of Kriya pranayam, I've come to a conclusion that spinal breathing was a misunderstanding of actual kriya pranayam of lahiri mahasaya. Lahiri said to not forget about om japa in the chakras and one should do om japa in the six chakras with the kriya pranayam. So it's actually not about doing spinal breathing (visualising or sensing prana going up & down in the spine with the breath) but going up & down through the chakras oming into 6 chakras with the breath. I... 2 1 replies

Is it possible to follow Hinduism whilst finding it difficult to believe in a God? Hello there, It's nice to meet you all. I've recently become really interested in Buddhism, and along my journey have also become somewhat curious about Hinduism too. As a young person I was always fascinated by the Hindu gods and really took a liking to the religion. However, it seems I have a difficult time placing a belief in any God. Whilst I acknowledge their existence to others, there is a remaining feeling in my mind that just can't connect to them. I suppose my question is, within Buddhism... 5 0 replies
