Understanding GOD beyond the empirical Reality and Religions

It is widely believed that God is a topic related to the subject religion. But some religions don't accept the existence of God, for example Buddhism, Carvakam, etc. Buddhism deals with this world and ethics of the person to have a comfortable evolved life of this world.

The religions which speak of God are also not of a single univocal opinion. Some say that He is all pervading i.e., He is everywhere and in all static and dynamic things, where as some say that He is ruling the whole universe sitting in a separate world other than this earth.

An Indian dimension of Spirituality to understand Human behavior and methods of Self control

This Indian (Hindu) dimension of Spirituality is our small effort to make our readers know something about ancient India’s wisdom which was precisely preserved in the form of Vedas, Epics, Puranas, Upanishads, etc, all of which at more than one occasion have never refrained from the discussion on the Human behavior and the methods of Self control. A little consideration will explain the fact that with the gained material knowledge on any subject, people try to do different things and in the process of doing things people make mistakes and those mistakes teach important lessons to improve our life, if those underlying lessons are understood properly.

Our experiences both good and bad will give way to the critical thinking and the process of critical thinking more often is linked to our intellect and to our minds which in turn connect us with our own true selves to let us understand our true nature and the natural principles of this world. So if the culture is very old and ancient like that of India, which is very evident from the Indian history, there are certain things which are very wisely defined due to the ancient Indians’ vast knowledge and experience over hundreds of generations. The sacred Hindu scriptures like Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, etc are derived in the same way and are composed by great sages. They are sacred because they speak about the simple and great things to improve our lives.

Christmas, a festival to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ - one of God's incarnations

The 25th of December, the Christmas day is a day every year during which many countries of the world are in a festive mood. It is all about celebrating with the families, exchanging gifts, the children getting their dream list manifested in front of them. Behind all this, lies the theme of Jesus Christ and the people in Jerusalem celebrating his birth for what he would become and stand for in his later part of the life.

I, as a Hindu from modern India, would like to use this opportunity to share my views and also to say something 'real' about the Hinduism (it is 'ism' as you know like Socialism, Nationalism, etc) because I believe in the Syncretism of various religions as supported by a great Indian leader and monk, 'Swami Vivekananda' back in 1893 Parliament of World religions. He said, "It is foolish to think that only one religion should exist exclusively of the others for the sake of the world's good. There must be different religions for different parts of the world and cultures, but what is important is the syncretistic philosophy found in all of them".

Mathematics and economics of Vegetarian and Meat based diets

Continuing the insights shared in this post, “Is the violence in the vegetarian diet the same as that of meat?” 

we share some insights/ideas about this debatable topic of vegetarianism.

A person is said to be following the Vedic way of life, if he just follows ONE rule – ‘Accept the Truth, Reject the Falsehood’. For that one need to question on everything be it religion or the parents or the society and finally don’t simply believe in certain things just because you were asked to believe.

Is the Violence in Vegetarian diet the same as that of the Meat?

"Ah, nowadays Vegetarianism has become a movement or a cult, as people tend to label the meat lovers are ruthless people."

This is the common argument when a vegetarian or a vegan tries to educate the meat lovers about the need of being vegetarian for various reasons.

Some of the meat lovers are fooled by the so called nutritionists and doctors who make them believe that meat can’t be totally avoided to get complete protein. People simply feel convenient when they hear this from their doctors and take pride in believing in science and technology and tend to ridicule the noble concepts of vegetarianism and ahimsa (non-violence).

And when some people get cancer kind of diseases at some later phase of their life, they tend to blame the God, the environment, the pollution, the drugs and all other stuff, but conveniently forget their past actions of eating big macs, burgers, cheese cakes, microwaved or grilled red meats which had increased their total and bad cholesterol levels.
