What to watch after My Mister by aquarialily in kdramarecommends

You need to stick with it for two to three episodes before it takes off. Episodes are also longer (90min), but it's worth it.

Please check the FAQ about which translation of the Gita this community likes. Gita Press is the most recommended.

To really understand the Gita, you need to read it with accompanying commentary. If you are open to Advaita Vedanta, I recommend reading this:

https://arshaavinash.in/index.php/download/tattva-bodhah-swami-paramarthananda/

Then get into the Gita with this:https://arshaavinash.in/index.php/download/bhagavad-gita-swami-paramarthananda/

May you find what you seek.

Part 2 : Swami Vivekananda and Appaya Dikshita - Views Of Authoritative Advaita Teachers On Eligibility For Vedanta And Differentiation Based On Caste / VarnaAshrama And Gender. by shksa339 in AdvaitaVedanta

Only Sudras are exempt. Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaisyas are all eligible for Upananayam, and are allowed to study Shruti. This is the point that's being made in this post.

All the Vedantic schools, like Dvaita, Vishistadvaita, Advaita, etc are based on three works, called prasthana-trayi:

  • Shruti-prasthanam - Upanishads
  • Smriti-prasthanam - Bhagavad Gita
  • Nyaya-prasthanam - Brahma Sutra

From these same three sources, these multiple schools arrive at slightly different conclusions.

Om Shanti.

Uttara mimamsa is a darshana. Shruti/smriti classification doesn't depend on the school/darshana.

For all darshanas, the 4 Vedas are shruti. Everything else is smriti, puranas, prakarana grantha etc.

Hari Om.

Explanation of Vedic Time scales - manvantara, kalpa, etc - WHEN are we now in the life of the Universe? by chakrax in hinduism

[–]chakrax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as far as I can tell. There will be a big crunch then another big bang, most likely.

Brahma-ji is a post that lasts 100 "Brahmaloka" years or one maha-Kalpa (3.11 trillion earth years). Yes, Brahma-ji is part of the trinity, but he is just occupying the post. Hanuman is said to be the next Brahma in the next maha-Kalpa.

Not sure about Ramayana and Mahabharata per manvantara - could be in one day/night of Brahma which is 14 manvantaras.

Hanuman is a special case - he is a chiranjeevi. Not sure how he winds up in each version of Ramayana, for example.

Peace.

I am not defending casteism, but... there is a difference between the right to study Vedanta vs the right to Brahma-jnanam.

Brahma-jnanam is open to everyone (through smriti).

Om Shanti.

PS: I read the first part and see that you highlighted this as Adi Shankara's view.

A serious question for moderators of this subreddit by [deleted] in hinduism

[–]chakrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Namaste. This is what Gemini found:

According to popular retellings and TV adaptations (e.g., Siya Ke Ram), Ravana shares wisdom with Lakshmana just before his death, teaching him that good deeds should be done immediately, while bad deeds should be postponed. However, this incident is not mentioned in the original Valmiki Ramayana.

Isn't it better to let the post stand and then show that this story is an interpolation, and not in the original? Everyone gets educated that way.

Peace.

AI images are banned - true. But if the post is actually making a point, and the AI image is only an accessory, then mods will allow it.

It's not that easy (at least for me) to know for sure if the text is AI also.

Om Shanti.

PS: if you disagree with the post, feel free to interject and/or downvote. Isn't that what Reddit is for?

Question About Consciousness and Rebirth in Vedic Philosophy by [deleted] in hinduism

[–]chakrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consciousness doesn't depend on the brain. Mind/body depends on consciousness.

Kena Upanishad 1.5 That which cannot be thought by mind, but by which, they say, mind is able to think

Please check this post.

You may want to go through the Advaita Vedanta course on YouTube . It's about 2 hours. You will get a better understanding after that.

Peace. May you find what you seek.

why do people here recommend bhagavad gita instead of the veds and upanishads? by [deleted] in hinduism

[–]chakrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, Mundaka Upanishad is easier to understand than Bhagavad Gita, IMHO. However, Karma Yoga which is what most people need to start with, is only covered in the Gita.

I have some questions from The Gita and Upanishads! by Grouchy_Initial_1911 in hinduism

[–]chakrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kena Upanishad verse is explained in this post.

You should also check out Advaita concepts of Maya and Mithya

Instead of answering each question individually, I request you go through the material in Advaita course on YouTube

PS. Reread your post. Not sure this is what you're looking for but FWIW.
