    The Word "Aum" In Hinduism

    Aum is the Aksara, or imperishable syllable. Aum is the Universe, and this is the exposition of Aum. The past, the present and the future, all that was, all that is, all that will be, is Aum. Likewise, all else that may exist beyond the bounds of time, that too is Aum. It is this final...

    The Word "Aum" In Hinduism

    God, the ultimately Sattvik entity, is invisible and formless. However, whilst God Himself does not have any form (please refer to my earlier article on the nature of God), He is able to manifest Himself through the medium of the physical Universe. Hence it is that God is manifest in each and...

    The Word "Aum" In Hinduism

    The word "AUM" is often translated as simply "God", and, for general purposes, this straightforward translation suffices. However, this is, in fact, an extreme oversimplification of the meaning of "AUM", as becomes clear on closer examination. The 'Hindu' Dharma (henceforth referred to, for...

    The "Caste System" Under The Light Of Hindutva

    Another misunderstood aspect of the Varna Vyavastha is the superiority/inferiority aspect of it. An oft-quoted example is the explanation of the Varnas as being like the different parts of the body, with Brahmins the head, Kshatriyas the arms, Vaishyas the stomach and Shudras the feet, of...

    The "Caste System" Under The Light Of Hindutva

    The topic of caste is one which has attracted a huge amount of interest (and a proportional amount of hatred) throughout the world, and across socio-cultural and religious divisions. Indeed, it has come to the point whereby any discussion on Hindutva necessitates at least touching on the caste...

    Krishna

    In Hindutva, there are no rules or laws governing how an individual must behave. There are no dogmas which have to be followed. However, there is one general rule in the interpretation of Hindu texts and teachings, and this is that whatever it is which is being interpreted, there are always at...

    What is "Nation of Hindutva"?

    Nation Whilst seemingly simple in meaning, this is a word which is often misunderstood. However, understanding of this one word is the key to the comprehension of the whole idea of the "Nation of Hindutva".

    Do Hindus Worship Penis Or Vagina ?

    In a word, No. Hindus Don't worship Penis or Vagine. The idea primarily comes from the Hindu symbol known as the Lingam. The Lingam is a round, protruding shape emerging from a vulva-like base called a Yoni. Linguistically, "Yoni" carries many meanings. Generally interpreted to reference the...

    Indo-Mayan Connection – India’s South American Relatives

    Colonial Misinterpretation or Cover Ups The Americas were colonized by the Spanish. Their account of the inhabitants of the place was that it was a much uncivilized society which didn’t have any human values. The Spanish accounted for large burial pits with hundreds of beheaded bodies...

    Indo-Mayan Connection – India’s South American Relatives

    Maya is a commonly used term in an Indian context, which roughly means illusion. Another place where we can come across the term is in the ancient civilization, the Mayans. The words were strikingly similar and that led us to explore other similarities between the two great civilizations and...

    DESTROYING THE MIND

    The whole Mind mechanism is not to be trusted. Whatever emotional-based excursion it takes us on is purely arbitrary, impermanent, limited and, thereof, fictional. Regardless of what hard momentary conclusions it compells us to reach--philosophical, scientific, religious, socio-political...

    DIFFUSING THE MIND

    It's all a matter of releasing one's awareness from the ensnaring entrapments of the Mind-flow of Particulars. Even though being none other than the Self, the habit of animating the Particular UNTO itself--ie separated from the totality of the Absolute Being--is where all the problems arise. The...

    Vedanta Basics

    "Consciousness is pure knowledge. The mind arises out of it and is made up of thoughts. The essence of mind is only awareness or consciousness. However, when the ego over-shadows it, it functions as reasoning, thinking or perceiving. The universal mind, not being limited by the ego, has nothing...

    Vedanta Basics

    Relative Illusion vs. Absolute Consciousness Not the smallest fragment of any of this is real--even these words, calling off the entertainment of such ideas, are not of the least moment. All these are Mind contrivances. Some will argue, heatedly, that this kind of philosophical negation is a...
