How are different deities/gods/goddesses an "embodiment" of God? I am a Sikh and I feel that there are many parallels between the two religions.

Onions & Garlic Actually, I'm a Tibetan Buddhist, not a Hindu, but our dietary recommendations for practicing Kriya tantras are almost identical.

So onions and garlic, are we advised against eating them fresh or absolutely in any form? I'm asking this because you can find onion or garlic powder in industrially produced food where you wouldn't expect to find them at all. It's a... 1 0 replies

Why so much hate against Rajputs? People stuck in propaganda? Why Hindus in general hate Rajputs so much? Like especially RW guys, cause I've seen lots and lots of RW people hating on Rajputs, and its been more specific since a few months which community spreads more hate against them. Anyways, their usual point is, \>"Rajputs lost wars", while they won most, as I've made a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Rajputana/comments/1iigzxm/guys_hear_me_out_its_big/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) about that already, **they won 98 out of 144 wars**. \>"They didn't support Marathas in war", while not a single community supported them in war against invaders, in-fact later on Marathas attacked... 4 0 replies

Although I won't be appealing to divine revelation or command in this book, I don't intend my conclusions to be anti-religious. Rather, I mean to be neutral on religious questions, in the sense that both theists and atheists will be addressed. But I should state what I take the relation between morality and religion to be.... 17 0 replies

Bhagbat Gita and Freewill, Determinism I was wondering if Krishna is all-knower, then he knew about the future that Arjuna will lift his bow after hearing to him and he will fight. So, in Gita, Krishna says that you can choose to fight and be my weapon and achieve greatness by following your dharma or you can labeled as a coward for whole of your life.If Krishna is God, that means he is all-knower, he knows about the future, that means he knows that Arjuna will choose the path of warrior. So, does it... 3 0 replies
