Shiva, according to the Swasthani, is on his second wife and spends much of his time getting stoned on ganja in Gokarna Forest. Is this the truth you speak of? Or perhaps you are talking about the truth of girls given to ritual temple prostitution as Devadasis? Or perhaps the truth of the murderous Thugees who strangled innocent wayfarers in worship of Kali?

I prefer the truth of Jesus Christ.

there is a distinction between the demigods and the supreme Personality of Godhead,lets not blame the acts of man on the Divinity's besides christianity is more responsible for the deaths of thousands over the years,than any other religios group,when do you ever see a Hare krishna goin out murdering someone,they dont even eat meat,because they consider all life as equel.

the only real representation of Krishna is through the disciplic succsession,many Hindu's consider ordinary men to be divinity's and this is a fault on their part,Krishna was no ordinary human being.

not every hindu is a Vaishnava or Brahmana,the word hindu is not even in the sanskrit language,it was a word givin to the indians bye the english for conviniance,in other words india can recognise 33 million demigods and each one is considered a hindu,even though the spiritual practices very.
it would be like putting all the different religions of the world under a single name.

Krishna explains in the gita the difference between worshiping demigods''men of small knowledge worship the demigods for material gain''

Salvation through Jesus Christ is the only truth. If the uncountable gods and godesses of Brahmaism have any existence in reality, then they are demons wishing to be worshiped as gods. The correct spelling is Christian. I at least accord your belief the respect of capitalizing Brahmaism. I had refrained from citing the horrible human sacrifices and sutee* common in the past, until you made the usual charge against Christianity as being responsible for more deaths than any other. Christianity does not teach killing others (regardless of what men calling themselves Christian may do). Shanti Bai


*When a man dies, his wife or wives are expected to throw themselves on the deceased husbands funeral pyre and be burned alive. Though outlawed years ago, it is still practised by many to this day.

i think you should realy do some reaserch on what your trying to put out,devotees of Krishna do not teach violance at all,infact they teach Love and not only teach Love but Love of Godhead,and not only talk about it,but practice it,they teach the science of self realization,and God lives deep within the self,and as an act of non-violance they dont even kill animals,including fish and egs,they take on renunciation including cellabacy,which is a choice rather than something thats forced upon them,they can always go back to havin sex if they want but this contaminates the mind and senses and twarths ones process through spiritual realisation,so your claims of prostitutes in a Vaishnava temple are ludicrous,although you didnt say a vaishnava temple,but you assumed that all hindus are the same didnt ya now.

what about all those witch hunts over the years,the crusades,the slaughtering of the native americans,and so on,christianity has alot to answer for.

i suppose jesus is the only way is He,and if you dont beleive then your goin to burn forever are you,well m8 if thats ther case then i feel sorry for all those who beleive such non-sense,.

dont go writing things about things that you obviously dont understand,and about how great christianity is and how stupid every other religion is because your just giving your fellow christians a bad name.

You are saying that nothing exists, so nothing exists! Is that seriously meant to be a paradox?

I'm wondering if you are referring to the impermanence of this present world? In that sense it would be seen as an illusion. Things are formed out of non-existence nothing, and brought into existence.

Theres nothingness in demand. Behold the fruits of nothingness.

Where there is no focus, nothingness prevails.

There must be focus , The booby prize is in exaltation once again.
