    Learning about the major forms of the Divine in Hinduism may, at times, become confusing for non-Hindus, especially because the hierarchy [1] may differ, depending on whom you ask. Contrary to propagated belief, the number of forms of the Divine in mainstream Hinduism is small. Contemporary Hinduism basically revolves around Rama/Krishna/Vishnu, Shakti (the Mother Goddess), and Shiva. The forms

The Indian intelligentsia, including some established authors, has tried hard to portray Rama as a glorified fictional hero.

What is the title of the book that Saraswati holds? Graciously, the book does not have a title, for it

    Fourth anniversary of the Shree Lakshmi Narayan Temple This week is the fourth anniversary of the dedication (patotsava) of my local mandir, the Shree Lakshmi Narayan Temple. It doesn’t seem anything like four years since the opening of our mandir! I attended the evening celebrations and the feeling of having hundreds of people present to worship God and the devas was incredible. I speak virtually no Hindi, I can respond to greetings and that’s about all.  Someone asked me whether it was boring to attend when most of the speech is in Hindi. Having attended the celebration, I…

  • The Hindu view of Scriptures

    11 Apr 2012 | 11:55 am
    Rigveda (padapatha) manuscript in Devanagari, early 19th century I was asked about the Hindu understanding and interpretation of scriptures, and what they mean to me. I decided that I would answer this in a post rather than as a comment reply. There are various types of Hindu scripture, the oldest of which are the Vedas. All orthodox Hindus regard the vedas as the divine word of God. The vedas are mostly songs of praise, and so are open to a number of different interpretations. Some of these are resolved by the Upanishads,  philosophical discourses on the vedas. Again these texts are…

He said that if there are any unsavoury people hanging around a street corner and they hear a siren of a police car approaching they disappear. They know that the police will be following soon. Similarly when we hear the sound od the conch and the ringing of the bell our bad thoughts disapear. They know that the darshan is coming! Tagged: arti, conch, sound

    11 May 2012 | 3:49 pm
    Not six, not Korean, but Buddhist monks – and we all need them I was surprised to read today of the six Korean Buddhist monks who were secretly filmed gambling, drinking and smoking. Not that they did it, but that it made the news at all. Its not the first time that monks have deviated from their straight and narrow path of self-denial; and it can’t be the first time that a few of them have done it together. What seems to be different in this case is that they were filmed, the videotape was shared, and its always disturbing to learn of high-minded people who drift from their path.

    Last month I was with my family in New York city and we joined devotees of Krishna in a street kirtan in Union Square. The Square is well known for gatherings of all kinds. The devotees regularly go there to perform kirtan and anyone who is there often comes to listen, tap their feet, clap their hands, or jump into their own form of dance. Here’s what happened when I led kirtan for a few minutes: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=366262530078915&set=vb.100000855125822&type=2&theater On the same day as this was shot, in the morning, we were fortunate enough to visit the…

Fruit juice, milk, cream, sweet water, coconut water – all poured over the deity along with kirtan.

They all sport clothes, hats, garlands, feather boas and socks coloured bright orange, the colour associated with the royal family of the Netherlands. They do it to honour Queen Beatrix who celebrates her official birthday on the birthday of the former Queen Juliana. So what do the devotees of Krishna do at a festival where everyone dresses in orange? Well for a start they already feel quite at home with the colour choice. The Hare Krishna saffron is…

If you look at his year of birth you’ll see that his 1,000th anniversary will be coming up in 2017. Already preparations are being made for grand events all over India and indeed the world. Today is his appearance day, so I thought I would at least write a few words. It is the measure of a man, they say, how he is remembered after his passing. And for how long. One thousand years is a long time, but the years have not dulled the level of adherence to the teachings and role model of…

The Islamic invasion started with the assault of Muhammad bin Qassim in 712 on the order of Hajjaj, the governor of what is now Iraq, and it took until 1690 for the Muslim rulers to conquer India completely.

  • The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts

    Darryl
    10 May 2012 | 4:37 pm
    I’m frequently disappointed by what passes for spirituality, from a non-dualist perspective. Quite often, there is a crafty repackaging of salvation woven into an author’s sales pitch, or there is a totally unrealistic descent into a spiritual pipedream of “universal love.” Alan Watts, happily, manages to be both a non-dualist and a down-to-earth realist. In recent years, one of the most interesting dilemmas I went through was the clash between non-dualism (which says that everything is one) and LaVeyan Satanism (which grasps that the universe is adversarial). I rate…

Each time, he sent the horse around the Earth it returned to the kingdom unchallenged. He decided to perform the Ashvamedha Yagna for the 100th time, that would make him emperor of Earth. When Indra (King of Gods) saw that happen, he became worried by Sagar’s increasing power.

Indra got scared and went to Lord Vishnu for help. Lord Vishnu incarnated as the dwarf Vamana and tricked Bali to grant him as much of his kingdom as he could measure in 3 steps. With the first step…

    Saraswati Devi is synonymous with knowledge, arts and auspiciousness. Many times in life there are situations in which we experience blocks in studies and career. Such incidents often hamper our performance in examinations and jobs. Even if we prepare well and are confident , we may not be able to use the knowledge when it is most essential.
