My Journey into Sanatana Dharma

Richard Dawkins says he is truly speaking an agnostic.(that is a stance I am supportive of for individuals who are in capable of accepting anything without 100% evidence, fair enough, but feel sorry for them coz what if they've hedged their bets the wrong way....its not like they will live for ever) Sam Harris is writing a book called : spirituality without religion (technically known as Buddhism....essentially an agnostic school of thought.... He just wants to sell his books to his atheist audience hence the name of the book) And the rest who claim that something doesn't exist cannot even define what doesn't exist and have no guts or the ability to look for that thing or to accept that humanity has a looooooooooong way before coming to conclusions on many things, but keep insisting it doesn't exist..... Interesting... But foolish.

I have been wondering a lot lately about this experiment. All you must be aware of what the findings are. Now I have also always been pondering over what the guru's who have had the advaitic experience describe their experience to be, more or less this is what every advaitic master has described his experience as far as the world they perceive goes: "Every boundary between me and the rest disappeared. I could see no difference between me and the other being, me and the other inanimate objects. All of it just seemed like one big whole." These advaitic masters since adi Sankara (and before) have also told us that the universe lies within is, i.e. the world we see is a concoction of our mind that is conditioned to see the world the way we see it, we believe it to be. And once this "believe" is dispelled, we wont see the world as separate beings or separate from us. Yesterday while working out I had an epiphany about how closely these experiences and the ex

One of my earlier post discussed how Srinivasa Ramanujam says that on his death bed, God came in to his dreams and wrote the equations on a board with a blood stained hand, which he woke up and committed to paper. In fact he says he doesn't know what those equations mean, and only as recently as 2010 are mathematicians and scientists deciphering those equations which at this point seem to undoubtedly describe the motion/behavior of black holes (mind you when he wrote these equations scientists had no clue what black holes were, the term was not even coined). That was proof to me. And I am sure to most. You can research further on this claim to your hearts content. But in general to me a believable proof is when an third party that has no connection with a certain claim by another party, agrees to it. The story of Sri Ramadasu is one, where the muslim king, agreed that it was Sree Rama who came to clear the debt of Sri Ramadasu to get him released from hail after 12 years. (a

Some time back, a very naive young kid, apparently a communist/marxist student leader, also an atheist, a friend of my brother, tried to trash talk me and mocked me if I had an algorithm to prove my belief in God, or an algorithm to prove God, I told him I did. Yes, I do have an algorithm. But for that, all of us need to first understand what extrapolation means in mathematics, what inferences mean in philosophy...Please pause here and read up what these mean before continuing further. So when I started on this path of understanding theology, I really never identified myself as a "Hindu". I never drew lines around my self. I practically still do not like to. Except now a days I am forced to do for a few reasons no acceptable to be published on a public blog. So here I asked a question one fine day: So there is the Bible, the Torah, the Gita/Vedas, etc etc. (add any number of books) in the world. All of them, claim, I am the truth, and the only truth ( except of cours
