Vedanta and Philosophy

@TheDestroyer - i think @skan mean , which gods took avataras in which yuga ..like that ..

@Pandya Happy MahaShivaratri to you too...

@Pandya Happy MahaSivaratri.

@TheDestroyer I've seen many of his videos, always says Shiva is Adi Yogi but says he is not God.

@TheDestroyer @Tezz @ChinmaySarupria - is the kriya yoga of shree Mahavatar Babaji and the kriya yoga described in purana's is same ? I know kriya yoga from puranas but dont know about MB teachings or method. :)

2:11 PM

@ChinmaySarupria Did he do prana pratista for 112 ft statue?

@SwiftPushkar I'm not sure... @TheDestroyer @ChinmaySarupria might know it...

@SwiftPushkar which purana?

@TheDestroyer I don't know, didn't watch much of the live stream today.

@TheDestroyer - SB wait give u link

@SwiftPushkar Babaji always use to say that Kriya Yoga that he taught to Lahiri Mahasaya was told to Arjun by Sri Krishna, not sure about Puranas.

vedabase.com/en/sb/11/27

kriyā-yogaṁ samācakṣva
bhavad-ārādhanaṁ prabho
yasmāt tvāṁ ye yathārcanti
sātvatāḥ sātvatarṣabha

This entire chapter is on Kriya Yoga , but Vedbase messed with the name of the chapter

@ChinmaySarupria that is only pranayama.

@SwiftPushkar SB page is different, it talks about devotion to Sri Hari in the name of Kriya yoga. @TheDestroyer Kriya Yoga is only pranayama and nothing else.

Kriya Yoga deals with Prana via breathing exercises, it doesn't even require bathing.

@ChinmaySarupria i think it has certain mudras too.

@Tezz @TheDestroyer @ChinmaySarupria - but SB chapter mainly is kriya yoga (worship of krishna) i want to know general kirya yoga is same as described in SB or Different. Are there variations according to schools e. yoga school

@ChinmaySarupria oh ok , that was i wanted to confirm ... thanks , wait , SB is talking abt. pranayama also ..

This book should give an overview on Kriya Yoga: amazon.in/Kriya-Yoga-science-Life-force/dp/8121512506/…

@SwiftPushkar, @TheDestroyer : I am actually thinking of how many years on earth will be equivalent to a second for brahma and other gods

@ChinmaySarupria ok , see lots of advertisements in newspaper abt. Kriya yoga.

@skan 1day of Swarga Loka = 360 days of earth...

hey will be back in some time ...

Q: How much earth year passes in 1 second of Brahmaloka?

@skan for Brahmaloka see my answer here:

3

Every religious book, Vedas and Purans , units of distances such as Yojana have been tried to be converted in English in modern age. In Such Situation How much is the 1 second of Brahmaloka on earth ? How much it be when applied to chaturyugas and manwantars ?

But, are all gods reside in swarga loka? I am asking about all the different classes.

2:24 PM

@skan what I think is time goes on moving slowly from lower worlds to higher worlds....

which gods reside in brahmalokha? apart from brahma and saraswathi

apart from brahmalokha and swargaloka, what are other worlds?

@skan like Maharloka, Jnana loka, Tapa loka will move with slow time than Swarga loka...

@skan many beings reside in Brahmaloka along with Brahma... they all travel by riding on Swans...

name a few beings among those many of us are aware of ?

Q: Want to know about Brahmaloka

@skan you can also go to BrahmaLoka...

While reading Mukhya Upanishads, I found there are many verses that say who does upasana upon Brahman or Om, is led up or reach/attain to Brahmaloka. Example: (Verses from Sanskritdocuments and English translations from scared-texts): Prashnopanishad 5.5: यः पुनरेतं त्रिमात्रेणोमित्येतेनैवा...

@skan Bye...

@Pandya @Pandya Same to you.

@Pandya The jiva is not totally different from the brahman in advaita. I think you are confusing between dvaita and vishishtadvaita.

@SreeCharan Namaste! what are you referring/replying to (for confusing between Vedanta)?

@Seeker Namaste! Welcome to Hinduism.SE!

2 hours ago, by Pandya

@TheDestroyer @Tezz @KeshavSrinivasan @SwiftPushkar @SreeCharan Happy MahaShivaratri !

@Pandya To be simple, Vishishtadvaita is the refinery of advaita. Visishta-advaita. (qualified monism). If Brahman is an ocean, jiva is just a water drop. Jiva's(water drop) ultimate goal is to reach the (brahman) ocean.

@SreeCharan I mean why confusing Dvaita and Vishishtadvaita? Yes, I do know it is qualified Advaita.

> Now, According to Vishsishtadvaita, individual selves (Jivatmas) are different from each other and actually not the Brahman (only one). And (only one) Brahman dwells in Jivatmas.

@SreeCharan so?

3:40 PM

@Pandya Nothing. i thought you got confused.

yesterday, by Seeker

How it is even Advait when there is distinction between Brahm & Jeevatma

Seeker got this doubt. So I thought you got a doubt.

@SreeCharan No, I know Vishishtadvaita, Sharira-Shariri relationship between Jivatma and Brahman.

@SreeCharan Not very first but yes, it is my oldest open post! Haha

@Pandya I saw Keshav's comment. That comment is generally for newbies. So asked.

Welcome to Hinduism.SE! No, the number of atmas on Earth isn't constant, because there are also atmas in other worlds. But if you add the total number of atmas in all the worlds (plus those who have attained Moksha), that number will be constant. — Keshav Srinivasan ♦ Sep 8 '15 at 11:29

@SreeCharan Yes, you're right that post is older -- my starting times on Hinduism.SE!

@SreeCharan Btw, (bonus) Do you want to know/see my very first question post on this site?
