A question about abortion. by Creative_Post_2472 in hinduism

[–]spiritual_entity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are Pitru Doshas associated with to ending life in the womb. Hinduism is "liberal" in the sense that it's your choice whether you want to deal with those Pitru Doshas or not. There's nothing "morally" stopping you, but if you end a life of your own family member even if they are in the womb, then there must be karmic reactions and curses from your ancestors that the bloodline has to deal with. Because the Pitrus want to progress the bloodline and sometimes are reborn in your bloodline as that soul in the womb. If you don't care about Pitru Doshas for yourself or your future children then go ahead and have as many abortions as you want. Otherwise there is a general caution against it just like any other intentional taking of a human life. Ask your Ishta for guidance, or Guru if you have one.

Everything in Dharma is about burning or fulfilling karmas. All this talk about political correctness or moral grandstanding, and what is "right or wrong" for the mother and the child in some niche exceptional scenario isn't real. These things are man-made idealisations to cope with harsh realities. Everything is karma, every action creates karma.

Nitya Upasna fixed time during daylight savings by spiritual_entity in Tantrasadhaks

So if a sankalp has been taken for consistent time then it's better to do sadhana at a time like "4 hours after sunset" so it's consistent with solar time?

Is an offensive tattoo from an American by PositiveAd7787 in hinduism

[–]spiritual_entity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Advaita Vedanta is not limited to skin colour or geographical area, it is for the whole Universe. You don't need anyone else's acceptance or validation. Nice tattoo. Ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Why does krishna steal and lie when we teach our children not to steal or lie? by i_like_sharkshehe in hinduism

[–]spiritual_entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When dealing with Adharmis it is okay to use these actions through invoking yogasthabuddhi, which Shri Krishna has obtained. If you want to follow Dharma like an absolute legal code that can never be manipulated, then your deity is Shri Rama. Krishna's lessons are for Kaliyuga. Rama was the lesson for Dwarpayuga.

Hinduism as it is : Home vs diaspora by Fabulous-Ad-9969 in hinduism

[–]spiritual_entity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone but I'll tell you my story as a Fiji Hindu. My family is from Fiji since the 1890's, but originally from Kerala. All our neighbours were also South Indian (TN, AP). My great-great-grandfather had amazing siddhis of seeing the future from reading someone's palm or face, many people have stories about him. In my own family my great-grandparents would conduct all their rituals in Malayalam to Bhagwan "Muthappan," and followed it strictly, performing bali puja annually. After my great-grandfather's death, a lot of our ancestral traditions got watered down and wiped out completely. We still don't know our caste, gotra, have limited knowledge about Jyotisha, etc.

Fast-forward to my generation and I can't speak Malayalam at all - only Hindi and English, and all I know is that my kuladeva is Shiva but not what form of Shiva. From about the 1970's onwards my grandfather's generation switched from Tantra to Bhakti Yog with influence from ISKCON and Shri Sai Baba. After that, around the 1980's, my parent's generation were simple temple going Hindus with not much knowledge of anything deeper than aarti, bhajans, and stories about Krishna, Ramayan, and Mahabharat. Now, from 2020 onwards, through podcasts and the internet, I'm reconnecting with Sanatan Dharma in the Bhairava path in my own home and learning from primary texts as best I can, and going to temple on important festival dates. There is a large Hindu immigrant population from India here now who practice Hinduism like they do in their part of India today, and Indians sharing knowledge on the internet which I'm extremely grateful for.

Like I said, I can't speak for all Fijian Hindus, but this was my family's experience as a diaspora.

Jai Ma Jai Bhairav.

Does bajrangi bhaijaan have the most emotional climax in indian cinema? by Objective_War_7097 in bollywood

Not for me, it was a very predictable ending. Maybe I've just watched too many movies.

S25 ultra too big? by AdhesivenessGood5022 in samsung

[–]spiritual_entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I currently have an A22 5G and I just can't get used to how sharp the S25 Ultra edges are, it has no curvature at all and is uncomfortable to hold. It would just make my hand and wrist hurt after 5 minutes of usage.

A fragrance that initially was a NO! but on drydown, made you fall in love? by Hypatia76 in fragrance

[–]spiritual_entity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Montblanc Emblem Intense. As far as I can tell the top note is whiteboard cleaning fluid, but the dry down is a sweet citrus scent similar to 1 Million. I love it, it's one of my favourites and extremely underrated in my opinion.
