@Hinduismbot Seriously..why is this off-topic?

7:05 AM

Wassup?

Nothing much. Waiting for my practical class for car driving

What about you ?

Nothing much. I am attempting to answer a question.

Are you at your hometown or Bengaluru?

Bengaluru. There is no driving school in my hometown. :-)

You know how to drive a car ?

No. I didn't go to classes. It is in my to-do list. Some of my friends can though.

7:11 AM

Oh! I had to join the classes because I need to get a driving license.

During college I never had a need of license because I used to know all the shortcuts in the city. :P

But in Bangalore, you can't escape.

All the best for your driving license!!!

Thanks Man

Any plan for weekend ?

@TheLittleNaruto Yeah. There is a family function to attend.

@NogShine Lol <3

@NogShine superb!

What about you?

7:21 AM

Me and my friend will go for shopping. I don't like going out shopping with a gal. But I can't help. I'll have to go.

Do you watch Naruto ?

No. ^.^

You gotta watch

There are many who watch it in The Screening room

Other chat rooms on SE have fancy name. Ours is an exception.

Hmm. I can see that.

@Nog, regd this hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/24554/…, don't comment and add the link, just flag for it to be deleted. Copy Paste from other sites is kinda useless.

I'll probably add another answer to that, if I manage to finish my projects on time.

Q: How do Vaishnavas intepret the Mahabharata verses which supposedly show Shiva to be supreme?

1:45 PM

I am aware that most Vaishnavaa reject Puranas that show Shiva as supreme i.e. Tamasic Puranas. However, I want to know the Vaishnava intepretations of the following Mahabharata verses where Shiva is the supreme: Vyasa said, ‘Thou hast, O Arjuna, seen Sankara, that First cause from which have...

What's with this, Vaishnava-Shaiva debate all over again? :|

Been seeing quite a lot of these. The Gods themselves don't have any issues, and people seem to have.

@BhargavRao Effect of Maya

Q: is the tradition of invoking Ganesa at the beginning of pujas and undertakings in real life known in North India also?

2:19 PM

sects that reject Siva and deities related to him are excluded of course. The serial on Ganesa running right now says Siva's first attempt to fight the tripurasuras failed because he didn't invoke Ganesa (his own son !!) first. http://pulivahanan.wikifoundry.com/page/What+is+the+significance+of...

Q: Is Brahman originally formless in Vishishtadvaita, Dvaita and Dvaitadvaita?

2:35 PM

ISKCON which advocates Achintya-Bheda-Abheda, believes that the impersonal Brahman is an expansion of the Personal Brahman i.e. Krishna as you can see in the following web article: The Vedic texts give the analogy of the sun regarding the personal and impersonal aspect of the Absolute truth. ...

Q: Why are we under Maya and Avidya if we are Brahman?

2:52 PM

According to Advaita Vedanta, we i.e. Jivas are all Brahman in reality but are under Maya and Avidya. I want to know how Maya and Avidya came into Brahman? P.S. I am aware that Maya has no beginning.

The Destroyer

3:17 PM

@BhargavRao This is complex issue and deep, both in history and currently on site.

3:37 PM

@TheDestroyer it's better if not discussed or debated.

The time you bring differences in account, hatred will occupy space and hence conflict.

Q: Is this citation of Anthony De Mello correct?

6:59 PM

In the book "Awareness" of Anthony De Mello I've read the following quotation "from the sacred book of the Hindus": "...Lord Krishna says to Arjuna: "Plunge into the heat of battle and keep your heart at the lotus feet of the Lord". But I can not find such place in the Bhagavadgita. Some of my ...
