I don't have access to online journals so if you can research, I too will be interested. Swami Rama fell into disrepute (and as did his research) when he was accused (rather unfairly IMHO) of sexual harassment in the US.

Okay lets start from the beginning. First you deliberately lied when you claimed that HH Dalai Lama said hours not minutes. Later I caught you in your lie and you posted your links. Later I showed you from a quote that yogis could make it superficially appear they stop their hearts (interpreted...

Swami Rama and Other Paranormal Info - Neil Slade and The Amazing Brain Music Adventure Note that he is also referenced as "Ramananda" in some academic works.

Please search about Swami Rama, I don't want to do all your homework. Here is a link about the yogis in Tibet from the New York Times, dated 1982, the authors quoted include: SCIENCE WATCH - Heat From Meditation - NYTimes.com And I beg of you, can you discuss in a civil manner instead of...

You want links? Try this: So has it occurred to you oh genius that HH Dalai Lama must be referring to lamas stopping their hearts for many minutes (as it would seem), but in reality their heart rates are faintly detected in a EKG (therefore heart not clinically stopped). BTW Swami Rama...

Instead of being a smartass, note that HH Dalai Lama said "minutes, I think" and then look up Swami Ramananda and the scientific papers he generated with his breathing techniques. Then look for yourself at some of the research that scientists from UCLA and Harvard are doing on Tibetan monks and...

Why the intellectual dishonesty? HH Dalai Lama says minutes not hours. I respect your stance on atheism but such cheap shots are not very nice.

^ Known-Unknown, Here are the words of wisdom from Dalai Lama regarding this matter. I have not seen the video posted but will see it and reply to you after that. "In recent years, I met scientists in the fields of nuclear physics as well as neurology and psychology. Very interesting. We...

The Sutta Pitaka mentions that materialism was quite widespread in ancient Magadha. I think its futile to compare Magadh of today and 2500 years ago. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu! I appreciate your honesty in saying you are not a Buddhist as being an atheist/materialist and Buddhist are simply...

You are defining the word consciousness in materialistic terms hence of course consciousness to many scientists is only blips on a screen or measured brain activity which is absolutely filled with holes when one considers it philosophically from a Buddhist perspective. However I for one admit I...

I suggest you read "Greater Magadha" a recent academic book by Bronkhorst. It clearly lays out evidence that during time of Lord Buddha, there was no widespread acceptance of karma/reincarnation in the society.

Prove to me that conciousness ceases with the brain first! Also let me understand you correctly, Lord Buddha was a "true idiot" then? If he wanted to, since we do not believe in atta, he could have accepted such annhiliationist philosophy, but this sage of the Skayas, the blessed one who spread...

Those idiots were a fringe of a fringe. It is you who is the real bogus one here with your attitude, as you are wanting physical evidence for something which is beyond the physical plane. And why do you call yourself "Dharmapala" when your views are quite opposite of Anagarika Dhammapala...

My religious beliefs do not include a belief in any creator since that is contradictory. However I REFUSE to see myself as just a vehicle for my genes with my sole purpose in life is to have children. I know it is logical to believe that but I trust the wisdom of even greater men than modern...
