I keep running around
Trying to find the ground
But my head is in the stars
My feet are in the sky
Well I'm nobody's baby
I'm everybody's girl
I'm the queen of nothing
I'm the king of the world

How to practice hinduism

Questions and answers taken from this forum!

Question 1: So, there really is no one- way to practice Hinduism?
Answer: No.


Question 2: So, if i have statue/image of the deity and place something in front of it, it counts as an offering? What is the purpose of the offering? What merit does it have?
Answer: Yes, fruit or flower or even water can serve as an offering. If you are worshipping God through an image then you are offering your devotion or love towards God. Basically, you are inviting God to come and be present in the image. So it is as if you have invited a dear friend or your parents into your house. Wouldn't you offer food to your guest? The offering plays the same role. It is not a question of merit. It is simply a token of your love. The purpose for daily worship and offering is to get you used to the idea that God is not an authority figure who lives far from you but is in fact your very own.


Question 3: There aren't any set prayers? How do I know if I am praying properly to the correct deity?
Answer: How do you talk to a dear friend or a parent? God is like our father or mother. God is our very own. Why is there any need for a set prayer?

Understanding how suicide affects reincarnation

"The idea of reincarnation is actually a concept that you might think would motivate people to contemplate committing suicide in order to leave this life and enter the next quicker. On the other hand, you would never even consider suicide once you understand the principles of karma. The main reason for this is that the act of committing suicide reflects a failure of your soul to understand and learn the lessons of your current incarnation.
When a person contemplates ending his or her life in an unnatural way, it is the result of the soul struggling to learn a lesson that's critical to its evolution to a higher state of being. This means that unless the lesson is learned, the soul won't progress. If the suicide is successful, the soul will be reincarnated into a lesser life that will lead to almost identical difficulties and hardship that must be faced once again."

Teachings of Sanatana Dharma

"Followers of Dharma Spirituality (Dharmis) believe in one, all-pervasive and all-loving Supreme Being. Though worshiped in different ways, and by different names, in a variety of ways, there is ultimately only one God. God is not Hindu, Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. Rather, God is the ultimate inspiration of all sects and religions, and this is the case whether any particular religion acknowledges this truth or not." - Dharma Central

Stjärnor

Visste du att stjärnorna är själar?
Och när du ser en stjärna falla så är det en själ som faller in i ett nyfött barn.
Translation; Did you know that the stars are souls?
And when you see a star falling, it´s falling into a newborn baby.

Thoughts

"Isn't it kinda weird when you sometimes remember stuff you used to do but then your life changed and you stopped doing it. And when you look back at it you can see all the people you actually met, and were there for you and you didnt even know they were there. Cause you were too blind to see it. And now you dont know what they are or what they do cause you didnt really pay attention to them..
It's like when you go to a community you used to go into every day and you look at your sad little diary where you put down your sad little feelings, and some nobody commented that everythings gonna be ok. And you're like yeah right. And now when you see it again you think that that nobody saw you and tried to help you. And you see that the nobody haven't been online for like a year or so and you're wondering what happened to that person."

Bhagavad Gita

"Liksom en människa sätter på sig nya klädnader och överger de gamla,
så antar själen nya materiellla kroppar och överger de gamla och odugliga."
(- Bhagavad Gita kap. 2 vers 22)

To every guy..

I found this on VampireFreaks!

Every girl should be treated like this:

  • To every guy that's said, "Sex CAN wait"
  • To every guy that's said, "You're beautiful."
  • To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town to see her.
  • To every guy that gives her flowers and a card when she is sick or down.
  • To every guy who has given her flowers just because thats how he rolls.
  • To every guy that said he would die for her.
  • To every guy that really would.To every guy that did what she wanted to do.
  • To every guy that cried in front of her. ....
  • To every guy that she cried in front of...
  • To every guy that holds hands with her.
  • To every guy that kisses her with meaning.
  • To every guy that hugs her when she's sad.
  • To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all.
  • To every guy who would give their jacket up for her.
  • To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe.
  • To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours just to see her for ten minutes.....
  • To every guy that would give his seat up...
  • To every guy that just wants to cuddle.
  • To every guy that reassured her that she was beautiful no matter what.
  • To every guy who told his secrets to her.
  • To every guy that tried to show how much he cared through every word and every breath.
  • To every guy that thought maybe this could be the one.
  • To every guy that believed in her dreams.
  • To every guy that would have done anything so she could achieve them.
  • To every guy that never laughed at her when she told him her dreams.
  • To every guy that walked her to her car and opened the door.
  • To every guy that gave his heart.
  • To every guy who prays that she is happy even if you are not with her.

Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore...
And because of this, there are not many left out there...
I guarantee 90% of the men on your page will not repost this cuz they care more about their image.
If you are a nice guy repost this with:"This is how every girl should be treated."
If you are a girl that thinks every guy should treat a girl this way, repost this with: "To Every Guy"

Are you a 90's kid?

I found this list (I have shortened it a bit because it had some American brands and stuff in it which I've never heard of) on a site called Vampire Freaks. I just kept the things I remember from the 90's!

"First; you're under the age of 14...you shouldn't even read this and if you do, you should not repost this.
Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.
It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.



You're a 90's kid if:
  • You can finish this [ice ice __ _ _ ]
  • You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philidelphia born and raised . . ."
  • You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
  • You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . not
  • when cops and robbers was a daily activity.
  • when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.
  • when we used to obey our parents
  • You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time."
  • You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.
  • You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.
  • You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"
  • You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.
  • You remember watching:
  • -the 1st Batman
  • -Aladdin
  • -Ninja Turtles
  • -ghost busters
  • You remember Ring Pops.
  • If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"
  • You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.
  • Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.
  • You played and/or collected "Pogs" or "Hockey cards"
  • You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.
  • One word. . . . . . . . Furbies.
  • You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.
  • And Windows 95 was the best.
  • YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff!
  • Carebears
  • You collected all the Troll dolls
  • If you even know what an original walkman is.
  • If you still have one.
  • You know the Macarena by heart.
  • "Talk to the hand" . . . enough said
  • You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"
  • Before the MySpace frenzy . . .
  • Before the Internet & text messaging . . .
  • Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .
  • Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .
  • Before Spongebob . . .
  • Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.
  • When light up sneakers were cool.
  • When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
  • When we recordedstuff on VCRs.
  • When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman.
  • You had slap bracelets! (google it)

Way back.
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.
Post this in your bulletin if you remember these days . . . .
Post with the year you were born"

I was born in 1987

Hindu Quotes: The Teacher Says


Having taught the Vedas, the teacher says:

"Speak the truth. Do your duty. Neglect not
The scriptures. Give your best to your teacher.
Do not cut off the line of progeny. Swerve not
From the truth. Swerve not from the good.
Protect your spiritual progress always.
Give your best in learning and teaching.
Never fail in respect to the sages.
See the divine in your mother, father,
Teacher, and guest. Never do what is wrong.
Honor those who are worthy of honor.
Give with faith. Give with love. Give with joy.
If you are in doubt about the right conduct,
Follow the example of the sages,
Who know what is best for spiritual growth.
This is the instruction of the Vedas;
This is the secret; this is the message."

- Taittiriya Upanishad

The duties of a true hindu woman!

"Now the duties of a woman (are as follows): To live in harmony with her husband; To show reverence (by embracing their feet and such-like attentions) to her mother-in-law, father-in-law, to Gurus (such as elders), to divinities, and to guests;

To keep household articles (such as the winnowing basket and the rest) in good array;

To maintain saving habits;

To be careful with her (pestle and mortar and other) domestic utensils;

Not to practise incantations with roots (or other kinds of witchcraft);

To observe auspicious customs;

Not to decorate herself with ornaments (or to partake of amusements) while her husband is absent from home;

Not to resort to the houses of strangers (during the absence of her husband);

Not to stand near the doorway or by the windows (of her house);

Not to act by herself in any matter;

To remain subject, in her infancy, to her father; in her youth, to her husband; and in her old age, to her sons. After the death of her husband, to preserve her chastity, or to ascend the pile after him.

No sacrifice, no penance (vow), and no fasting is allowed to women apart from their husbands; to pay obedience to her lord is the only means for a woman to obtain bliss in heaven. A woman who (apart from her master) keeps a fast or performs a penance (vow) in the lifetime of her lord, deprives her husband of his life, and will go to hell.

A good wife, who perseveres in a chaste life after the death of her lord, will go to heaven like (perpetual) students, even though she has no son."

-- Visnusmrti 25:1-17.

Don't wave lights and incense, or offer flowers and food. He is found effortlessly when worshipped through self-realization alone.
