    Debates about the Economy, Politics, Religion, and everything under the sun

    Tell me how many people can even read Sanskrit now. The common man. Which can go out and weigh the practices and cultural nuances vs. what the books actually cite. I am NOT being judgmental, so please be careful what you slap my arguments with. I have not come to the conclusion that they have...

    Debates about the Economy, Politics, Religion, and everything under the sun

    Better to be pragmatic and face the reality of life. It is not about me reading the original Sanskrit text. You think the people running the temples will hear the logic if I tell them that it is not written so. I am talking about daily practices of religion, which have become the norm. To be...

    Debates about the Economy, Politics, Religion, and everything under the sun

Try to understand how religion is controlled by men (not animals); and it is used as a tool and device for graduation and...

    Debates about the Economy, Politics, Religion, and everything under the sun

    That is how religion is misconstrued and propagated. It is never an exact science. Iconography/practices and dogma: progress/vary as time moves. So it is the religion it self which is refusing.

    Not sure about the scriptures, but temple refuse. That is all I was saying. I know cases where the Pandit refused.

    Debates about the Economy, Politics, Religion, and everything under the sun

    A lot of temples refuse to marry non-Hindu (if one is non-Hindu) and the gotra per say is not clear. Religion is an innate part of our culture and heritage. It will be in all discussion...!

    TE is good, and has a market section too. Though TDF has more traffic. I moderate on TE too [OC/CPU-Motherboard/P2P].
