Surah Al-Inshiqaq: So, I do swear by the twilight! (Does not make your case any stronger) You will certainly pass from one state to another. (Yes, we surely do till we live) So what is the matter with them that they do not believe, (There is no evidence other than what you claim) In fact, the...

Quite simple. Atheism is the philosophical part, Hinduism is the social part (Dharma).

Yeah, most atheist are not anti-social, surely not those who practice Buddhism or occasionally a Hindu like me. IMHO, Buddha thought was presented in various flavors by later Buddhist scholars, so there are various schools, Sino-Japanese and Tibetan. Buddhist philosophy survived in India by...

Let it be. How long to have grievances? :)

Buddhism and Jainism are known as 'Nastikas', which means 'no sayers wrt Gods', but that was always taken as a difference in philosopjy. There were deniers of God even among the six 'Asktika' (Aye sayers) philosophies of Hinduism. Samkhya was one of them.

I have the right to quote scriptures, I am a strong atheist and also a staunch Hindu. Atheism is 3,000 years old in Hinduism. Even RigVeda's hymn (Generally known as the Hindu Creation hymn) says: "The Gods are later than this world's production. Who knows then whence it first came into being?"...

A true Hindu does not accept fakes. We recognize the wolf which comes in sheep's clothing. More humbug.

That 'self' is not the true representative of humanity. Common humanity is greed, acquire by whatever means and use. Exceptions hardly matter.

Not much explained to a lay person. OK, continue the work. Perhaps you can come up with an explanation that we laymen can understand.

I do not like being patronized. I am an independent person. "My child. Bless you." I am neither his child not need his blessings. That brought my (instant, sharp) response. Like Reply

" There is, O monks, an Unborn, Unoriginated, Uncreated, Unformed. Were there not, O monks, this Unborn, Unoriginated, Uncreated, Unformed, there would be no escape from the world of the born, originated, formed. – Udana 80-81." Dear friend, IMHO, Buddha was not wrong. There is a world of...

Only Abrahamic religions have blasphemy. Hinduism does not mind new theories/philosophies. My being an atheist Hindu is one such case. Of course, most of us do not like cultural intrusions, fake 'we love you' claims.

Don't be an ego-besotted dunce. My son is nine years older and my daughter is 11 years older than you. If your age on your profile is correct, I had finished my 'dharma' of procreation long before you were born. And do you think blessings are any more than a placebo? Yeah, I have heard that...

If it is subjective, then it is not truth. Yes, the Eastern sages were very wise in spite of the absence of scientific experimentation in their time. But we corrupt what they said by adding God, soul, reincarnation, etc. That was done by society for its needs.

Abbas Nuri had a hereditary enterprise to protect. He would say whatever helps him do that. I am not surprised.

There is nothing to argue. It is the question of belief. I believe that every wave/particle in the universe is eternally alive since the time it came about and will be like that till the universe lasts. I think that it started from nothing and can go back to nothing. This is the highest level of...

:) When the evidence comes, acceptance also will come. No problem with that.

Nothing funny here. Paramarthika is Paramarthika, and Vyavaharika is Vyavaharika. When you see facts on ground, do not take refuge in philosophy. It is 'leela' in Paramarthika, but the reality in Vyavaharika.

Udaipur Files: What would you do if they start cutting your neck just because you are a Hindu? Please note: Everything is One in Paramarthika, not in Vyavaharika. You are confused. Don't mix up the two. "vyavasāyātmikā buddhir, ekeha kuru-nandana; bahu-śākhā hy anantāś ca, buddhayo...

Listen to this Superstar, Avirbhav. He is from Kerala and did not know Hindi (knows a little by now), but he can sing Hindi songs. Surprisingly, such singers keep coming up every year (Below 14 and above 14, two groups) Videos here...
