Looking for a Podcast Partner. Hi, Podcasting enthusiasts of Reddit!! I'm a 34 year old in Delhi,India who has been wanting to start a podcast about Spirituality for a long time.

But in my house, I’ve seen many pictures of Lord Krishna and other deities in a similar posture. Is there any religious or cultural reason behind this? Is it considered inauspicious, or is this just a local belief? Would love to hear your... 4 0 replies

Hinduism and others dharmic religion Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs often claim that their religions have no connection to Hinduism—not even a common origin or the status of a sister religion. Some even accuse Hinduism of being a copy-paste of their traditions. So, as Hindus, should we simply stop saying they are part of Hinduism or brothers ? We know that Buddha, Rishabhanath, and Guru Nanak were born into Hindu families before rejecting Hinduism and founding their own religions. Buddha and Thirthankaras and Sikhs Guru even they denies of Brahman existence, recognise existence of ours... 4 6 replies

What is the difference between right ear sound after meditation/sadhna vs left ear sound? Reaching a positive or negative State? I have experienced these ringing sounds after mediation from both ears after different sessions. The right one comes after you're feeling more satvic, happy, positive and justice etc and is indicated you're doing it right? The left one comes from fear, negativity etc? Its been a while since I've heard the right ear sound continuously, it doesn't disturb you but you can hear it when you're sitting idle. I'm unbothered by these things now but I just wanted to know. 1 0 replies
