Hindu man here - hello dear christians -
11-20-2010, 07:36 PM
Namaste.
Here's all you would want to know about me
1. I came here to learn about your beliefs with all my sincerity.
2. I'll be respectful in our discussions. Hope to receive it back from you.
3. At first glance, I thought your beliefs were very intolerant. I didn't knew how to react after reading this: however, I'm going to stick to find out http://www.godhatestheworld.com/india/index.html
4. There's something interesting to learn from all holy books and major world religions.
5. My own belief system is quite complex to describe. While I would be generally considered a "Hindu", I strongly disagree with the use of that term as it's a historical misnomer. I believe in Vedanta philosophy and consider the Bhagwad Gita the same as you would the Bible.
6. My spiritual beliefs are "evolving" as life shapes my destiny. It's human nature not to remain static.
7. I share a personal rapport with atheists because of their rational outlook towards life although wouldn't agree with a Godless existence.
7. I believe in the supernatural;ghosts, spirits and demons. And, also reincarnation of the soul.
8. I practise Tantra, yajnas and other mystical rituals common to Hinduism.

I think that I have learned a great deal about you based on the two listings of # 7 and the fact that they each manage to contradict the other.

I would like to hear your explanation of karma.
Bible boring? Nonsense!

There's no contradiction. Let's just say I find beliefs different from my own "interesting".

I'll narrate you an interesting story.
In ancient India, a weary traveller arrives in a kingdom adjacent to a dense forest. Looking for a place to stay, he finds the company of a gracious Prince who is always hospitable to foreigners. The Prince lives in a moden palace housing all the luxuries money can buy.
After a fine supper, the traveller retires to his bedroom. For some reason, he stays awake. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. Curious, he opens it to find an old woman - a maid seeking permission to clean the bedroom. The woman is bent at her knees and has plenty of sores on her body, a repulsive sight that makes the traveller pity at the way life has treated her.
Bored after a while, the traveller goes for a s troll outside. Suddenly, he hears some ghostly shrieks from the edge of the jungle. It's a shrill voice, of a woman crying out in great pain. The voice becomes even more disturbing -louder, and causes great distress to the traveller. He never felt such a melancholy voice before. It sounded so remotely familiar that it almost chilled his spine.
Next morning, before taking the Prince's leave, the traveller discusses with him the events of the night and how they greatly disturbed him. The curious Prince directs him to a learned sage who is able to read human incarnations in the past life.
The sage, is initially reluctant to describe the true reason behind the happennings of the night. But, after much convincing by the Prince and the traveller, narrates a simple story.
Once, an old mendicant who was hungry and tired, came by the doorstep of a poor family who just had enough to eat - nothing more. He begged for some food. The family consist of a father, his son and daughter, and the daughter-in-law who had a very bad temper.
As soon as the beggar came to their doorstep, the daughter simply walked away because she didn't care about beggars anyway. The daughter-in-law was vicious. She rudely insulted the old beggar and tried to throw him out of the house, loudly cussing. The father remained indifferent and didn't knew what to do. It was only the son who got up from his chair and politely requested the old beggar to partake of their food. He was moved in with real pity even though he had to bear the taunts and insults of his arrogant wife.
"So, what is the point of the whole story?" asked the bemused traveller.
At this point, the sage explained to him the basic law of Karma. "As you sow, so shall you reap."
The sage said all characters the traveller saw the night before were connected to this story, and were affected by their good or bad karma.
The kind young man, who offered food to the old beggar, died in a short while and was reborn as the Prince!
The daughter who ignored the beggar and simply walked away, has lived up to old age and was the old, leprosy-ridden maid!
The traveller himself was the father of the Prince in a previous life!
Howeve, real misfortune befell the haughty daughter-in-law. Becasue of her act of irrational arrogance, her soul never recovered from bad karma. She's the sad witch of the forest who has since been cursed with eternal damnation!!! God didn't take kindly to her one act of anger and arrogance.

Great story. Here's another:
Once upon a time there was a Hindoo man who hated God and believed in silly things like cows are holy. He burned in hell. The end.
I like mine better.
Leviticus 13:44 He is a leprous man, he is UNCLEAN: the priest shall pronounce him utterly UNCLEAN; his plague is in his head.
2 Kings 6:25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

I don't see the dot on your head. Are you from some off-shoot cult, perhaps a follower of Kali? Or perhaps you are one of those low caste people - a dalit(?)

What's wrong in wearing a necklace? I also wear a gold chain, a rudraksha chain, a heart-shaped gold ring, a ruby ring and a sacred twhite hread called janeu.

I don't know any men who wear such things! I have heard of it though and they are either pimps or homers, so which are you?

It may be unusual in the United States but not in India. Jewellery should not be the sole right of females.
"Pimps"? "Homers"? Your stereotypes are not translating correctly. I'm not African-American. Thank you.

27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

Whether or not I'm Satan's agent, I do not defend the gruesome act of killing newborn children. I also would prevent such a practice if it happens in front of my own eyes.

Hello Mr. hindoo.
Are you from Gujarat? If so, is one of your names Patel?

Welcome to our friendly forum!
What is the weather like where you are?
Freedom means voting for Donald Trump!
To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!
James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

Bengal, huh?
In my unsaved days I used to eat a lot of Indian food. I preferred Northern but I also enjoyed Southern food. Do you have dosa there? Do you like samosas?
Of course, since I became a True Christian™ I avoid eating ethic food. I've been advised that it hottens up the blood.
