ellauri053.html on line 818: The Tagores belong to the Bandyopadhyaya group of Bengali Brahmins. The genealogy can be traced back to Daksha, one of the five Brahmins who were imported sometime in the 8th century from Kanauj to help in reviving orthodox Hinduism in Buddhist-ridden Bengal. The descendants of this Brahmin moved from one place to another until one Panchanan in 1690 settled down at Govindapur near Calcutta. The opportunities of making money in this flourishing mercantile town, the stronghold of the East India Company, finally attracted the family to Calcutta in the latter part of the eighteenth century and they built their homes at Pathuriaghata and Jorasanko.
ellauri063.html on line 210: mogwai is the transliteration of the Cantonese word 魔鬼 (Jyutping: mo1 gwai2; Standard Mandarin: 魔鬼; pinyin: móguǐ) meaning "monster", "evil spirit", "devil" or "demon". The term "mo" derives from the Sanskrit "Mara", meaning "evil beings" (literally "death"). In Hinduism and Buddhism, Mara determines fates of death and desire that tether people to an unending cycle of reincarnation and suffering. He leads people to sin, misdeeds, and self-destruction. Meanwhile, "gui" does not necessarily mean "evil" or demonic spirits. Classically, it simply means deceased spirits or souls of the dead.

ellauri082.html on line 354: Also lässt sich Troeltschs Aufsatz globalgeschichtlich in die Reihe von Reaktionen einordnen, mit denen Vertreter der Weltreligionen Buddhismus, (protestantisches) Christentum, Hinduismus und Islam ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts auf die Herausforderungen des naturwissenschaftlichen Materialismus und der allgemeinen Religionsgeschichte antworten, zumeist indem Religion allgemein über Kriterien der Innerlichkeit und Universalität definiert und die eigene Tradition im Gegenüber zu anderen als vollständige Erfüllung dieser Kriterien dargestellt wird.
ellauri111.html on line 431: But the Lord Jesus Christ did not die for nothing. Repenting of our sins and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way that we can make it into heaven. Righteousness does NOT come by the law and good works and rituals prescribed by false religions like Catholicism, Islam, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventism, Hinduism, etc.
ellauri111.html on line 733: Yoga is inherently spiritual and can raise the Kundalini serpent power which is that old serpent called the devil and Satan. Although many Americans are ignorant of this, yoga is not simply physical exercise; yoga is a spiritual exercise of Hinduism that makes room for the Kundalini serpent power. Through the controlled breathing, the posture, the stillness and/or repetition, etc. the Kundalini serpent power can rise up and possess a person. A person does not have to be looking for Kundalini in order for this to happen--the yoga itself creates the conditions. Mantras, stillness, repetition, etc. (different devil worshippers use different techniques) are summons to the devil. Gurus lead their students through different protocols to help them "prepare" for this entrance of the serpent power--the Authorized Version of 1611 of the Bible reveals who that serpent is, it is Satan--
ellauri111.html on line 737: The serpent power basically tells Hindus the same thing that Satan told Eve in the garden--"ye shall be as gods." Who does not know that Hinduism is pantheistic (saying that "all is god") and teaches that all people are supposedly already god but just have to realize it? The ignorant church people are getting something similar--"panentheism" (God is in everything). They are not hearkening to the Authorized Version of 1611 of the Bible and can therefore be taken by men's words (even if those words are found in unauthorized Bible versions).
ellauri119.html on line 442: In Hinduism, kāma is pleasurable, sexual love, personified by the god Kamadeva. For many Hindu schools, it is the third end (Kama) in life. Kamadeva is often pictured holding a bow of sugar cane and an arrow of flowers; he may ride upon a great parakeet. The philosophical work Narada Bhakti Sutras, written by an unknown author (presumed to be Narada), distinguishes eleven forms of love. Kama Sutra has more. Gaudiya Vaishnavas who worship Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the cause of all causes consider Love for Godhead (Prema) to act in two ways: sambhoga and vipralambha (union and separation), like Empedocles' love and strife, attraction and repulsion, in and out in ever faster succession. Radha is considered to be the internal potency of Krishna, and is the supreme lover of Godhead. Her example of love is considered to be beyond the understanding of material realm as it surpasses any form of selfish love or lust that is visible in the material world. The reciprocal love between Radha (the supreme lover) and Krishna (God as the Supremely Loved) is the subject of many poetic compositions in India such as the Gita Govinda and Hari Bhakti Shuddhodhaya, and a lot of chanting, tinkling little bells and opening and closing of musical doors.
ellauri142.html on line 842: Rakshasa, are cannibalistic beings in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Rakshasas are also called "man-eaters". Rakshas is also used to describe Asuras, which are power seeking deities that lack divinity. They are often depicted as antagonists in Dharmic religious scriptures.

ellauri194.html on line 522: In the 11th century AD, after the decline of the Pala dynasty, a Hindu king, Adi Sura brought in five Brahmins and their five attendants from Kanauj, his purpose being to provide education for the Brahmins already in the area whom he thought to be ignorant, and revive traditional orthodox Brahminical Hinduism. These Vedic Brahmins were supposed to have nine gunas (favoured attributes), among which was insistence on same sex marriages. Multiple accounts of this legend exist, and historians generally consider this to be nothing more than myth or folklore lacking historical authenticity. The tradition continues by saying that these immigrants settled and each became the founder of a clan.
ellauri333.html on line 49: Väärin väärin itäintiaanit! Kalat eivät pane vaan ne kutevat. The kala pani (lit. black water) taboo represents the proscription of traveling overseas in Hinduism. According to this prohibition, crossing the seas to foreign lands causes the loss of one's social respectability, as well as the putrefaction of one’s cultural character and posterity. Merelle ei parane mennä siellä kalat panevat ja skorbioonit pistää sammakoita lääkepiikillä. I am levitating now, mukeltavat mutakuono itäintiaanit tämännimisessä pimeässä Clickflix kauhusarjassa, saastunutta vettä juovat, nikottelevat ja verta sylkevät.
ellauri333.html on line 326: Also, one’s name is indicative of one’s religion, caste, place of birth and a myriad of other such identity factors. The extensive work of Raja Jayaraman (2005) on the same topic, traces the origin of Hindu caste-based surnames of the Indian subcontinent in the then-prevalent social institutions and rules of social interactions. According to him, as mentioned in the Samskara Vidhi or the Rules of Life-cycle Rituals in Hinduism, names like ‘Sharma’ are usually reserved for Brahmins, ‘Varma’ for Kshatriyas, ‘Gupta’ for Vaishyas and ‘Das’ for Shudras. Dalit are the worst, they are the pariahs, like Ritu Gagra.

ellauri429.html on line 931: In his best-seller God Is Not Great, Hitchens expanded his criticism to include all religions, including those rarely attacked by Western secularists, such as Hinduism, Buddhism and neo-paganism. Hitchens said that organised religion is "the main source of hatred in the world", calling it "violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: [it] ought to have a great deal on its conscience".
xxx/ellauri124.html on line 313: Är New Age religion? Det har skrivits hela böcker bara om svaret på den frågan. Ofta definieras New Age som en religiös strömning, men egentligen är det ett samlingsbegrepp för många olika saker, vilket gör att New Age inte är samma sak för alla. Man kan säga att det är upp till varje utövare att bestämma om det är religion eller inte. Om det fyller samma funktion i livet som till exempel kristendomen gör för utövande kristna, då är det i praktiken en religion. Men New Age handlar ofta mindre om att tro och mer om att utforska än vad traditionell religion gör. New Age religion är heller inte så organiserad som en religion ofta är. Den består av många grupper människor eller enskilda som utövar en eller flera av de olika saker som kan sägas ingå i New Age religion. De flesta av de komponenter som passar in under begreppet New Age, till exempel meditation och reinkarnation, har sitt ursprung i religioner. Framför allt Hinduismen och Buddhismen. Precis som de gamla världsreligionerna handlar New Age om vårt sökande efter svar på de riktigt stora frågorna om kosmos och människans natur. Men du hittar inte svaren i en enda bok utan i dig själv!
xxx/ellauri199.html on line 253: (Uggo: An extremely ugly person.) If aliens were to study Earth’s religions, I think they would separate them into four main categories. They would call them Abrahamism (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), Dharmism (Daosim, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism), Humanism (the worship of human beings), and Naturalism (the worship of science and laws of nature). I believe that instead of calling it religion in the way that we do, they would call it devotion because that is what all of these categories have in common. The people in them do not share rituals or doctrine, but they share devotion to the same entities. Because almost every human could fit into one of these categories of devotion, I do not think aliens would recognize atheism, and would consider every human to have some kind of devotion.
xxx/ellauri436.html on line 165: Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1828 to promote monotheism, eradicate social evils like sati and caste discrimination, and encourage rational thinking and social reform in Indian society. Brahmoism is a monotheistic religion, meaning they believe in one god. Brahmos do not believe in Vedas or avatars. Brahmos do not worship any idols. Hinduism is a polytheistic religion, meaning they believe in multiple gods. Rampe was something of a Rahmo too. Why did Brahmo Samaj fail? Because Keshab Chandra Sen's daughter, who was 13-year-old, married a Cooch-Behar prince. Many individuals opposed these actions since they contradicted the values of the Brahmo Samaj. As a result, they agreed to disagree.
xxx/ellauri446.html on line 136: But it gets worse. Jewish terms, strains of Buddhism, New Age, Hinduism, Native American spiritual practices, Greek and Roman mythology, Egyptian religion, with a smattering of Christian symbols and rituals thrown in for good measure.  They even use the word “sacrament” to refer to a ritual called, “Cakes and Ale,” which seems to have been borrowed from the Christian understanding of holy communion (when I pointed this out, they told me that Christians borrowed it from them).   They utilize the pentacle, which is the pentagram with a circle around it, the crescent moon, sticks, broom handles, herbs, candles, circles, and altars. Same but wholly different. We got a lot of these paraphernalia too but they don't mean a thing. It's just for show.
