Why we believe in spiritual gurus with so much faith?

We believe in spiritual Gurus with a lot of faith because we have started to question religion. Normally, we believe in a God, a personal God of our religion. But when we realize that there are some gaps in the logic of God, then we go to spiritual Gurus. But all spiritual Gurus do not have the right spiritual answers. Therefore, to find the right Guru, enlightened master, is a challenge. Just like we need a good GPS, a global positioning system to get to our destination, we need the right...

A question for And from foreign perspective....

Let's say a certain individual from a foreign land with his/her own traditions accepts dharma and starts following Hinduism. The words and scriptures can be translated with ease to his/her language. While everyone would also agree that sanskrit learning could help not just him but all of us. Though I am confused about cultural practices. A lot of our practices are derivative of sect difference, culture and regional mythology and folklore ...which causes groups to have their own unique identity. Even the satvic traditions have their own cultural differences...

Thoughts on Vimaan Shastra?

I have read the entire book, but it seems pretty incomplete, probably because of British erasing many of the parts of the book or something like that. Well i am not going to talk about that today. I wanted to discuss about the Mercury Vortex Engine, pretty controvercial topic if it comes into the practicality of the machine and its principle. There was a (or maybe is) a possibly under development spy aircraft of the US which was TR-3b, it is a triangular flying object which involves a propulsion...

I keep chanting Hare krishna mahamantra in my mind or by saying whenever I am alone or doing anything.

Hare krishna hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare, hare ram ram, ram ram hare hare. This is what goes on my mind most of the time, no matter I am watching a movie, eating, sleeping, driving, doing anything we do in our lives. And 2 days ago in my sleep (sapne me) also I was saying this. I read gita since jan 2022 regularly (maybe miss a day or two under different circumstances) am I doing it too much ? I am a family man and have responsibilities also....

Experiences with Maha Periyava: The Sethji and His Terminal Illness

Experiences with Maha Periyava: The Sethji and His Terminal Illness This incident happened about 35 years ago. Paramacharya was staying in Chennai for a few months, blessing people and giving discourses. From Chennai, he continued his yatra out of the city and stayed for a few days in a brick tiles manufacturing factory at Noombal in the Poonamallee high road past the city border. I went have a darshan of Paramacharya one evening, accompanied by a Sethji from Calcutta who was a wealthy philanthropist. In the usual way I...

Hinduism vs. Abrahamism: Doctrinally compatible or not?

Every once in a while, someone on this sub is granted the "Anugraha" that the Hindu/Vedantic ontological objects called as Atman, Bhraman, and Maya sound a lot like the ontological objects of the Christian Trinitarian doctrine w/ God as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. You can also potentially analogize Vishnu to Allah and Shiva to Angel Gabriel in Islam if you try hard enough, but people don't usually attempt that; if they did, then they'd make enemies out of BOTH the Hindus and the Muslims for political reasons. However,...

How often should pooja clothes be washed?

I'm planning to get a saree to wear just for pooja. Do I need to wash it daily? I'll be wearing it for around 2 hours a day. Also, I read somewhere that stitched clothes are impure. So, should I hem the raw edges or let them be? Are there any rules about the colour and pattern of the fabric? Thank you!

Does meditation/Samadhi in Hinduism has this kind of formulas?

I often see that Hindus say Buddha copied meditation from Hinduism. Does Hinduism has these formulas mentioned in Yoga Sutras? I learned this from Buddhist monk Ajahn Sona and he said the formula works instantly if you can arrange these requirements and you can enter a pleasurable meditation state. 7 factors of Awakening:- 1. Mindfulness 2. Investigation 3. Energy/motivation 4. Pleasure (Once motivation stabilises Pleasure comes with command "Pleasure arise") 5. Serenity (At this point the mind is easy to control and just command it to be serene) 6....

Regarding why the father encouraged to marry off his daughter before puberty, and how to reform this.

Below is from my draft of a blog post I am going to publish. Refer to Baudhayana Dharmasutra 4.1.11-14: >"11. Let him give his daughter, while she still goes naked, to a man who has not broken the vow of chastity and who possesses good qualities, or even to one destitute of good qualities; let him not keep (the maiden) in (his house) after she has reached the age of puberty.[^(\[7\])](https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/baudhayana-dharmasutra/d/doc116443.html#note-e-65444) >14. Three years let a marriageable damsel wait for the order of her father. But after (that) time let...

Why did Arjuna share his wife with his brothers? When his mother clearly didn't mean to tell him that? Why didn't Draupadi have a choice?

I don't want to offend anyone but I think this was pretty stupid. Mata Kunti definitely didn't mean for him to share his wife obviously you should understand when a person didn't intent on saying this. I don't know what was our book trying to teach us here, and why the hell is there not a choice of Draupadi. "Ma ka baat ko hamesha follow karo", i sincerely disagree, Arjuna is a grown adult and should definitely have used his brain there instead of this old fashioned out dated...

To what extent does Smriti injunctions regarding worldly motives (Hetudardhana) apply?

From what I know, Smriti injunctions that have worldly motives are not authoritative. The word for worldly motive is actually “hetudarshanam” or “view to a reason”. I imagine this is a perceptible reason or a deducible reason? How true is this and to what extent does this apply?
