If there is one place on the face of the earth where all the
dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest
days when man began the dream of existence, it is India....For
more than 30 centuries, the tree of vision, with all its thousand
branches and their millions of twigs, has sprung from this torrid
land, the burning womb of the Gods. It renews itself tirelessly
showing no signs of decay.
Let us return to our eagle's nest in the Himalayas. It is waiting
for us, for it is ours, eaglets of Europe, we need not renounce
any part of our real nature...whence we formerly took our flight.
Religious faith in the case of the Hindus has never been allowed
to run counter to scientific laws, moreover the former is never
made a condition for the knowledge they teach, but there are
always scrupulously careful to take into consideration the
possibility that by reason both the agnostic and atheist may
attain truth in their own way. Such tolerance may be surprising
to religious believers in the West, but it is an integral part of
Vedantic belief.
The true Vedantic spirit does not start out with a system of
preconceived ideas. It possesses absolute liberty and unrivalled
courage among religions with regard to the facts to be observed
and the diverse hypotheses it has laid down for their
coordination. Never having been hampered by a priestly order,
each man has been entirely free to search wherever he pleased
for the spiritual explanation of the spectacle of the universe.
The greatest human ideal is the great cause of bringing together
the thoughts of Europe and Asia; the great soul of India will
topple our world.
The vast and tranquil metaphysics of India is unfolded; her
conception of the universe, her social organization, perfect in its
day and still capable of adaptation to the demands of modern
times; the solution which she offers for the feminist problem,
for the problems of the family, of love, of marriage; and lastly,

This life of yours which you are living is not merely apiece of
this entire existence, but in a certain sense the whole; only this
whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single
glance. This, as we know, is what the Brahmins express in that
sacred, mystic formula which is yet really so simple and so clear;
tat tvam asi, this is you. Or, again, in such words as “I am in the
east and the west, I am above and below, I am this entire world.
The unity and continuity of Vedanta are reflected in the unity
and continuity of wave mechanics. In 1925, the world view of
physics was a model of a great machine composed of separable

"The Hindu mind represents humanity's oldest and most
continuous stream of conscious intelligence on the planet.
Hindu sages, seers, saints, yogis and jnanis have maintained an
unbroken current of awareness linking humanity with the
Divine since the dawn of history, and as carried over from
earlier cycles of civilization in previous humanities unknown to
our present spiritually limited culture."

"India indeed has a preciousness which a materialistic age is in
danger of missing. Some day the fragrance of her thought will
win the hearts of men. This grim chase after our own tails which
marks the present age cannot continue for ever. The future
contains a new human urge towards the real beauty and
holiness of life. When it comes Hinduism will be searched by
loving eyes and defended by knightly hands."

seemingly contradictory approaches to God, how much saner its

“India saw this clearly and turned her face to that which has no
boundary or whatever.” “India anchored her soul in the infinite
seeing the things of the world as masks of the infinite assumes
– there can be no end to these masks, of course. If they express
a true infinity.” And It is here that India’s mind boggling variety
links up to her infinite soul.”
"While the West was still thinking, perhaps, of 6,000 years old
universe – India was already envisioning ages and eons and
galaxies as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. The Universe
so vast that modern astronomy slips into its folds without a
ripple.”

NO, Heaven will:
It all boils down to the “Hindu” Advaita that has been telling us
for over 5000 years that Heaven, Samadhi, is all there is. There
is no other, there is no "doer."
And 5000 years later physics tells us the EXACT same story: I
AM, YOU ARE and ALL IS this Heaven.

Later God Shiva mistakenly chopped off his own son's head.
How could a "god make such a foolish mistake? Would such a
god solve your problems or make them more complicated?

the moon and other celestial bodies. Also Shiva is a "deva" which
is usually translated as "god", however devas are basically just
like humans except with a greater karmic influence.

OK, wait....
The Gita, a Holy Book of the Hindus, quotes that when these
bathing low caste girls begged for the return of their clothes.
Lord Krishna demanded that they come out of the water with
their hands raised instead of covering their bodies. Oh my
innocent Hindu brethren! Can this action be attributed to a god?
Is this god capable of indulging in such ungodly acts? Surely, if
their deity is "divine," then it should be able to easily restrain its
passions.
I actually made a topic about it, I would like to see you Hindus
explain to me, how your god fled into the ass of a cow - and how
your god can make mistakes? I suppose I am taking this
laterally. Lol do you guys just take something from your
scriptures and say well hmmmm.... this verse is saying this? you
guys are rapping scientific theorys to suit your own agenda.
