Dear Shree/Shreemathi Shuba <swamis@rpi.edu>,
You have written:
>Maybe because in the Bhagavad Gita Bhagawan Sri Krishna says
>that I am the only god and no matter which route you choose,
>you will finally come to me if you follow the path you have
>chosen with sincerity and faith? If you take him at his word,
>what difference does it make if the person is addressed as a
>muslim or a christian in his human form? Isn't it only true and
>sincere faith that matters? We will all reach the lord's lotus
>feet in the end, he promises us.
==============================================================
May I request you to kindly quote the verse from Bhagavad Gita
which you have refered above in the interpretation! Please.
==============================================================
You have written:
>That brings to my mind a quote by Swami Chinmayananda " There
>are only two kinds of people in this world - Hindus and people
>who are actually hindus but dont know it yet!" :)
==============================================================
Please tell me what is the definition of "Hindu"/"Hinduism"?
I have not understood it.
==============================================================
>I have my misgivings about the above statement - If the "soul"
>is the atman and if we believe our scriptures that say "Tat
>Tvam asi", then aren't all of us manifestations of god? Please
>correct me if I am wrong - I though it was because we Hindus
==============================================================
May I request you to kindly let me know what you mean by
"manifestations of god?".
==============================================================
You have written:
>nature of what Rome is - similarly god. All that I ask is I be
>allowed to call god by the name that I prefer - Sri Krishna and
>be allowed to follow my path of reaching him.
==============================================================
Do you mean here that "anumAnam" can be considered as authority to
establish "God"?
==============================================================
Thanks & Regards
M.S.HARI Ramanuja Daasan.
