    The Atheism/Agnosticism Thread

    In english there is a phrase,'Love thy neighbour as you would love yourself'. In Adwait philosophy it is taken 1 step ahead -'Love thy neighbour- not just because your neighbour is nice as you are - but because the neighbour is actually yourself, so how can you not love yourself'. Thus we are...

    The Atheism/Agnosticism Thread

    Fair enough. Its a reasonable position to take. However, I read a article just a couple of hours ago which was pertinent to this thread. In RgVed there is a very interesting concept ' Darkness envelopes darkness'. Very profound indeed. Purna Stotra from Upanishad has a prominent mantra '...

    Atheism is a tool used by pseudoseculars to bash Hinduism. This is really a very sweeping statement, but if we investigate it thoroughly you will find the Indian Atheists tend to be a bit partial to Hindu religion. They are not partial to other Sanatan Religions like Buddhism or Jainism or...

    Re: Salam, Schalom, Namaste! In the Rigveda, Asura is not (A + Sura) but rather (Asu+Ra), and this is clear from the accent as well. For this reason, many Devatas are specifically referred to as Asuras, like Varuna. And a Sukta has a refrain in its verses: mahat devaanaam asuratvan ekam...

    Re: How Muslims around the world celebrate the month of Ramadan Razor BBT is a theory and there is a constant need in the west to get the theory validated. Even today there are many glaring holes within the theory. The closest way you can perceive what god is different for everyone...

    For the modernizers ~(read Atheists),nothing is sacred. Hindu civilization considers everything to be sacred. Modernizers in the Indian context are the "Nehruvian children" misguided and maladjusted to Indian civilizational roots. They wanted the State to replace society as a regulator...

    I think you may have heard or read about PL Deshpande. Tell me of all the people who you say are suffering they would choose joy over suffering. Why do these people deserve anything more than what they get? And what they get may be suffering for one but could very well be almost joy for...

When the sun rises and the clouds change colour from dark blue to purple to orange to red....I feel if this is not God then what is?
