Dear Shree/Shreemathi Shuba, You have written: >Maybe because in the Bhagavad Gita Bhagawan Sri Krishna says >that I am the only god and no matter which route you choose, >you will finally come to me if you follow the path you have >chosen with sincerity and faith? If you take him at his word, >what difference does it make if the person is addressed as a >muslim or a christian in his human form? Isn't it only true and >sincere faith that matters? We will all reach the lord's lotus >feet in the end, he promises us. ============================================================== May I request you to kindly quote the verse from Bhagavad Gita which you have refered above in the interpretation! Please. ============================================================== You have written: >That brings to my mind a quote by Swami Chinmayananda " There >are only two kinds of people in this world - Hindus and people >who are actually hindus but dont know it yet!" :) ============================================================== Please tell me what is the definition of "Hindu"/"Hinduism"? I have not understood it. ============================================================== >I have my misgivings about the above statement - If the "soul" >is the atman and if we believe our scriptures that say "Tat >Tvam asi", then aren't all of us manifestations of god? Please >correct me if I am wrong - I though it was because we Hindus ============================================================== May I request you to kindly let me know what you mean by "manifestations of god?". ============================================================== You have written: >nature of what Rome is - similarly god. All that I ask is I be >allowed to call god by the name that I prefer - Sri Krishna and >be allowed to follow my path of reaching him. ============================================================== Do you mean here that "anumAnam" can be considered as authority to establish "God"? ============================================================== Thanks & Regards M.S.HARI Ramanuja Daasan. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://click.egroups.com/1/6349/5/_/716111/_/966435184/ --------------------------------------------------------------------|e>- -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@eGroups.com Visit http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/ for more information
