Please pass on this information to anyone who may be interested. Also, please let me know if you know if a good source of online spiritual material..

Vedantic Teachings ( hinduism) are based on concept that Creator and cration are non-separate.. yuo may find some food article on www.avgsatsang.org if you are intersted in reading more ( you may to click on the pictures of saints to acces articles by them).. I havent visited the website in a few months..
Thoght you may find them interesting..

Thanks you very much. This was  a great expalantion.
I grew up in a Hinu Tradition respecting teachings from all relegions and accepting founders of all relegions as enlighened , God realized beings.  Till two years ago, I did not realize how many differnt belef system within Chritianity were. Due to media coverage, I thought that  Pop is one of the enlightened saint in Chiritanity and so from a Trip to  Vetican City, I bought some soveniors for my Chiritian freinds at work whom I thought were relegious and regular church goers. And Boy! what mistake it was....

Other belief systems and ideas of what happens to soul after death from western relegions..
I am not an expern on eastern relgions and my exposure i limited mainly ot Hinduism.  So I appriciate someone sharing ideas from other Eastern relagions also.

I grew up in Easten part of the world before moving to the USA 20 yrs ago.
Many Eastern relegion believes in life after death ( reincrnation) and the law of Karma
There is a verty nice book by a spiritual master  these subject  titled
Life beyond Phyiscal death  and The absolute law of Karma which can be downloaded from:
http://www.awgp.org/gamma/LiteratureEnglish
Recently , there are a lot of reseacherers in West  taking interest in the subject after a reputed  US doctor Dr. Brain Weiss  ( www.brianweiss.com) wrote some best sellers ( many lifes  many masters and a few more).

Also, it is belived in Eastern relegions that when a soul find a new body ( rebirth), the Karmas  left from past lives are carreid forward to the next life to explain  likes, dislikes and overall personality  of a new born and the unexpected circumstances that comes to ones life.  ( Theory of Karma). Also, there are many explanations found in terms of " Samskaras"  (  personality seeds) and how they stay with the travelling souls.

I am not an expert on Eastern relegions and have almost no knowlege of western relegions.  I am not writing this to  hurt or challange anyone's relegious beliefs. But I am curious on the subject.

Could you please write more on this subject?
I would be intersted in more references on the subject.

There is a nice book on interent  titled"  The absolute law of Karma by a spiritual master from Inida (Pt .Shriram Sharma Acharya, founder of www.awgp.org and ww.dsvv.org), it can be downladed   from:
http://www.awgp.org/gamma/LiteratureEnglish

Ghope you find the book useful

I have also came acroos some text on internet  rearding " lost years of Christ" in which one russian reseacher claim ot have found documents saying htat he visted Tibet   between the years of 16 and 32.

Can yo ushed more light on this belief..

Thank you for such a detailed explanation!

I am glad that you liked it..
Please feel free to ask questions if you feel I may be able to give you an answer or point you to a refrecne..
Vipul..

This is another diffence between easter and Western relegions .
In most Eastern relegions, creator and cration are non-seperate..
I am more familiar with Hindu beleifs in which it is belived that  everyone is born wit hcertain level of ignorance. ( based on Karmas of past lives).
Acording to law of Karma,  The concept of GOD is all pravaiding, infinite, omnipresennt, omnipotent.  And to meet infinite, one must make infinte efforts and that is not possible. However,  everyone has limited ignorance  whihc can be removed by finite efforts and after all ignorance about self   ( Complete surrender of EGO  or "I am the doer" ness to GOD) is removed, whatever is experinced is GOD.
I am not tr ying to say that hsi is the only right thinking and  teachings off all
othere relegions is wrong.. To me this is just a concept and I wil like to know more about concepts/ beleifs of other relegions..

Vipul..

did you like the book?

you are welcome..
There are many articles like such at www.akhand-jyoti.org

In the Easter belief system, ther is a concept of Physical, subtle and astal bodies and they beilive that the later two bodies goes to the physical body of hte next life in the form of seeds. And that is why a child is born with  a specific state of mind with differrnt habbits and fears.

I have heard that most western relegions beleive in soul waiting for hte judgement day and not taking up another body and that everyone is born a sinner.  Please pardon my ignorance as I have not studied Wastern relegions.  but I have a question? , Are everyone born with the same level of sins?  ( please do not get offended, I just want to know  out of curiopcity rahter than trying to disapprove someones relegious beleif.  I apologize in advance if I  am offending anyone).

I do think than a continuation of life is worthy of consideration ( especially after experiencing AP, and reading accounts of the NDE), it's just I find the concept of an afterlife to be collectively in-congruent with our notions of personal identity.  To me, our understandings of personal identity, as we currently understand them, are grounded in a physicality; where the best evidence suggests that personal identity ( not necessarily spirit or consciousness) is centered in the brain. Otherwise, what becomes of a baby who is totally unconscious of his/her self ? What about mentally handicapped people, people suffering brain damage, or Alzheimer's disease?

What I am trying to say is that to me, an afterlife implies the kind of life that our physically based consciousness permits.  From an Anthropological and Sociological perspective,  it's easy to see how the concept is represented in so much cultural diversity throughout the span of human history. If we are centering everything around a certain continuation of our identity ( and that's what all these religions, cultures, shamans are essentially doing), then shouldn't we all pull out a gun right at this moment in order to let the continuation occur whilst we have relative conscious lucidity? I, for one, am not to keen on that idea.

I do not know why that happened. It runs fine for me.. ( did this happen to anyone else also)

The lecture covers the following 12 qualities that need to be developed for spiritual lifestyle helpful in corporate management and talk about stress management:....

  1. Self Awareness – realization of self-potential. Man has immense capability.
  2. Spontaneity – quick reflexes, no delay. Be alert and decisive.
  3. Being vision and value based – visionary attitude towards future of organization with pinpointed aims and objectives.
  4. Holism – All views comprehended as interconnected. Holistic thinking.
  5. Compassion – Sympathy, Empathy and concern for others. Necessary for Team building.
  6. Celebration for diversity – Search unity in Diversity. Accept and embrace others too.
  7. Field Independence – Have your own say. Don't follow the crowd or majority.
  8. Tendency to ask fundamentals – why? – Constant reasoning, rational thinking. Can we do something new and how.
  9. Ability to refrain – Learning the ability to stop yourself from doing something traditional.
 10. Positive views of adversity – Make adversities your source of power. Yogi's outlook.
 11. Humility – Develop basics for self-criticism. Be modest and humble.
 12. Sense of vocation – selfless service to society at large, besides your system.

Plese bare with my ignorance. What doesMIDDLE EARTH  means?

Did anyone get chance to watch this video lecture.
I wiesh I had heard it five years ago when I was running a start-up company and working 80 hrs a week.
Please let me know if you like any specific part of hte lecture.

There is a very unique lecture on online Google video ( public domain) on " Role of
Spirituality in Corporate Governance" by a very distiguised spirtual personality from Inida. This lecture was give as keynote speech by Dr. Pranav Pandya, MD at the symposium on "Excellence in Corporate Culture" organized by Reliance Industries ( equivalant of GE in USA) in Mumbai, India by clicking on:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6985851443865147800

This is a very unique lecture and hope you will enjoy it. I specifically liked the message to busy executives and discussion on origin and remedy of stress in workplace. I feel that Even though, it is addressed to high level executives from India, the message is applicable to corporate cultures across the world and to people with all faith and relegious background.

Hope you enjoy the lecture also. There is not copyright on this lecture ( it is in public donain) so please feel free to pass it on to anyone who may be intersted. Also, I think that the contect of the lecture wil start a nice discussion thread. Please write on this thread your opnion of the lecture.
