Tell us something interesting
-
@vkoami no please, this is very interesting for me. I love a good debate but many people do not want someone questioning their strongly held beliefs. Like reincarnation, is there any credible evidence for it or is it just something we read in an old book? It is an amazing idea buuut is it an actual thing? I guess we don't know until we die.

@leelah reincarnation happened in many places. À 4 year old kid identified his previous birth place and his parents of the previous birth in India, rarely it happens. I believe in reincarnation. reincarnation as mentioned in the Gita, we don't die, we just pass on from one birth to another birth. We don't die, because we were never born. This is cycle of coming to this world and taking another body. Like we change new dress after the end of the old dress. We just change the bodies. I Will repeat we don't die , we just move on or pass on to another birth
-
@leelah why do you think a child prodigy happened? Because we carry a knowledge from our previous birth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_child_prodigies.
My observation and belief only and not for arguments -
@vkoami The radical claim about the Indian boy should be verified with what you would consider a reliable source. Muslims and Christians also make claims about evidence for their religion. That is a very comforting belief, reincarnation, but we better get this life right or we could come back as a tree. I personally believe reincarnation and karma, like heaven and hell, are fear based ways to make people be good when no one is looking.
-
@vkoami the brain is amazing. I read about a guy that has a brain injury and can never forget anything now and a man that forgets everything in 7 seconds but can still play the piano.
-
@leelah there is a famous quote in India. "We have only handful of knowledge, one should understand the ocean of remaining knowledge". And I believe in it.
-
@DAD_ that is a beautiful belief. I also believe the Indian culture a wonderful. Is it evidence based science though? Or a comforting belief?
-
@vkoami would you explain this quote for me?
-
@leelah Hinduism is science and not religious beliefs. Distance between sun and moon was identified in Hanuman chalisa https://www.google.com/amp/www.sciencebehindindianculture.in/distance-between-sun-and-earth-is-mentioned-in-hanuman-chalisa/amp/
Earth is round - our religious books told this fact in our religious books. Nuclear weapons manufacturing, flight technologies etc were written in our books.
Like this so many scientific facts in Indian vedi c -
@vkoami I've always believed there were people that knew common knowledge facts we have now in the past. Math is so amazing. I'm sure some Indian geniuses in the past tracked the sun, moon, and planets and realized the earth was round. Math is beautiful and almost unquestionable. But what about karma? Is there evidence for this?
-
@leelah we have books like Vedas, puranas, so many religious books which I may need at least few decades of years to read and understand.
Honestly speaking, I haven't read even 0.1% of these books. So I have read only few books and has handful of knowledge.
So remaining knowledge to understand is a big ocean - even a lifetime of studying, I cannot complete the books. That's the immense knowledge to understand in the Hinduism -
@leelah I love Indian culture as well
-
@vkoami will you also learn more about others too? Like native american and Aztec beliefs? Most people that are indoctrinated in their beliefs can't imagine anything other.
-
@leelah our present scientists does experiments practically and proved so many things for getting name and fame. Where as our sages does meditation and writes things for the benefit of human being.
-
@vkoami I can believe this. Some people are narcissistic. Meditation is very powerful. It is becoming a regular thing in the USA. Everyone needs mindfulness and meditation in my opinion.
-
@leelah I guess mindfulness is meditation. Forgive me. I saw a documentary about this poor sweet Indian boy with horribly disfigured hands. They wouldn't let him go to school, said he must have done something to deserve it, and even his own uncle said it must be evil. That poor boy had a genetic disorder and was horribly persecuted for it. Did he deserve this? Was it karma?
-
@leelah his karma only. So many unfortunate things happEnding around the world. Jesus is such a loving personality, but his fate and karma ended up with such a cruel torture.
-
@vkoami a baby, who understands nothing, is raped and in your opinion is they deserve it because they did something in another life that god didn't approve of? or someones child has a horrible disorder that makes their skin fall off or their bones brittle and break hundreds of times, they also deserve it? Karma is such a terrible case of victim blaming. Can you prove they deserve it or does an ancient book just say they do? Why do all versions of god torture people for not getting it right?
-
@leelah human being is turning to be more cruel in nature. 3 months baby was raped in a country once called as God's own country. Can't say much if it is the baby's karma or whatever.
-
@vkoami victim blaming is very sad. What do these people have to do to prevent being tortured by the universe? Follow specific guidelines and not question their hardwired beliefs. I bet greedy rich rulers at the top have loved their people preoccupied with fear based beliefs all through history and all over the world.
