OK, My hyper nationalist Spidy sense is tickling so time to Go Super Saiyan Mode !
@TheGreyGuy @racksus Look buddy, Don’t mistake to basic stuff known to our grandma’s as the Real Hinduism. Just until few decades ago half of the population was illiterate and that was the only spirituality accessible to them. Don’t expect them to know Intricate logic of vedanta or Nyaya or Hidden symbolic language of tantra explaining mysteries of Gods and Mathematics and Cosmos. At the same time they also have the right to practice some form of spirituality, be it just offering some flowers daily or reading the Epic stories.
It may be insignificant compared to what we do but still it is something and something is always better than nothing.
As for the prayers not answered, well don’t blame it on the deity if after offering ONE incense every week he did not fulfill your prayer to Rank in Civil service , which statistically is harder than winning lottery. Prayer like meditation is a faculty of mind, it needs to be sharpened with daily practice.
Don’t just leave your tradition Just CUZ the Surface level religion bothers you. It is for the masses and the very fact that U R in a place like this means U R not one of them.
( Glad that I grew up without any religious Samskaras and in a commie neighborhood as an atheist so my gateway drug was Buddhist philosophy of mind and Vedanta )
Believe me, what Our tradition promises , very few can Imagine. Two of the members here Who Did/Can wield the power of the source got it from the same tradition ( Now i am differentiating the ancient tradition from the Gods ). There is a reason why Majority all of the New Age Movement is Eastern Desi Stuff. LHP movement is nothing but a pudding made of VamaCHara, Kabbalah and some ancient lost pantheons.
Most people can’t even Go beyond that. At most their mind and potentiality of imagination will be -
1- Accessing the power of the God/Source
2- Wielding it without any restrictions
3- Complete Union with It.
4- Attaining the state of Purna Khanda Siddhi
5- At most attaining the Highest Bhumi of Bodhisattva mentioned in the ‘Inner Most Tantra’ of Highest Tantra of Tibetan Buddhism and it came from South India if I am not wrong.
That’s It. Believe me, what this land promises is WAY BEYOND THAT.
For example U Surely have heard the term Rishi, They were/are creative entities on a planetary scale just as Angels are of Maintaining aspect. Out of many things they did One was Bringing new field of knowledge on the planet, Be it spiritual or material. One rishi Brought Yoga, may be another brought naturopathy medicine - Ayurveda etc.
There are 108 forms of yoga out of which only 4 are know and out of this 4 in hatha yoga there are over billion of individual yoga postures each for A particular Race of being- DemiGod-Spirit and then inanimate objects like the parvata Asana.
Out of this innumerable Asanas only 84-300 are known currently. So that should give you a clue what actually lies beyond the curtain. Don’t get disenchanted by some some surface level stupid stuff.
Do your research, the knowledge is there.
As to the OP, Well Just a cup full of energy of the God is not the God itself in it’s entirety . Nor does it describe the LARGER AGENDA OF THE GOD in a cosmic scale . And they do have one, I can assure you. Any entity we work with and bring it’s energy is nothing but an extension of our mind, don’t blame the weapon instead of the wielder of the weapon.
If you don’t like devotion or Tantric method then follow the yogic method where instead of personalizing th being you go inside and activate that part of your sub conscious mind.
Well Have said enough. Sayonara, Gotta train Broly now to get him to Ultra Instinct Level.
