astrosfan ! I have just visited your website........

I’m very happy to find from your website that if you have fully become a muslim at least you heading that way and I’m sure that you will be one of us very soon.

What you say in the following line is not really hindu belief at all but it is what we muslims believe. So nice to see that you are learning Islamic belief from being on gup ship.

  1. Hindus believe in a one, all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.

I'm sure that in reality hindus believe that there are millions of gods.

Cool,

I’m being called out by a person living in Agra who has shown no idea what Vedanta is. I am being called a Muslim, by a person who has never read an Upanishad, who probably has never heard of Swami Vivekananda, and who probably has never read the Gita.

That’s fine. I believe that Vedanta holds a fundamental reality that permeates the thought process of each and every spiritual person in the world. If you are interested, I suggest you really start studying philosophical Hinduism, and be surprised at what you find.

It’s just that I think tauba tauba might be more Hindu than maybe he believes

It's true that I have never read Gita but surely I have heard of Swami Vivekanand, living in India you can not escape it. I've also heard about Bhagwan Rajneesh, the one who was supposed to be the living God.

Was he the No. 35,000,001 God?

Heh, this is funny.

Atman is Brahman. The essential that is you (Atman) is the same as the essential essence that is God (Brahman). Atman is Brahman. You are God. Everyone is God. You are infinite - within you is sat-chit-anand - infinite being-knowledge-bliss. Some people have realized this, most haven't. It a progression along life's path.

Is this discussion leading somewhere besides personal attack and ridicule?

Hey, if the guy wants to know a little bit more about Vedanta fundamentals, then this discussion will be fruitful.

If dude is gonna try to convert me again, then, nope, the discussion is headed towards personal attacks and ridicule.

Quit while you're ahead then.
