✡ Hindu Zionist ॐ:
Hello Robert,
interesting questions..
did you ever see a ghost?
No
Do you practice any form of Yoga?
Karma Yoga and Pranayam
When I was in India, most of the people I saw who wore turbands were wealthy people. Are all people with turbands Sikhs?
Depends at what place you were. And not all turband people are wealthy. If you were in state of Rajasthan/Haryana/Gujarat.. certain sects of Hindus wear turban also. In Punjab it is mostly the Sikhs. Wahabhi Muslims also wear it.
Are Sikhs Hindu or muslim?
Sikhism is a different religion all together. Sikhs are generally trust worthy people. Most Hindus attribute the rise of Sikhism to Islamic oppression of Hindus...there is a story to this, Many Sikh rulers(who were formerly Hindus) played a key role in defeating Muslim invaders. Hindu-Sikh interfaith marriages are very common in India, but not Sikh-Muslim marriages. Although SIkhs in general are allies with Hindus, militant Sikhs have tied-up with Islamists from Pakistan.(Look for Sikh terrorist bombing of Canadian Airlines which had Indians on-board)
Do you have a Guru?
If you meant a Spiritual Guru, Yes.
Spiraling Leopard:
What do you think of sai baba?
How many parantha's do you eat in a week?
Do you watch Bollywood movies?
✡ Hindu Zionist ॐ:
What do you think of sai baba?
I consider Sai Baba was a sufi saint, Hindus should not follow his teachings. His teaching emphasizes hindus to treat muslims as brothers. Then there is "Sathya Sai Baba" which operates in more than 50 countries, it is a terrible cult.
How many parantha's do you eat in a week?
5-6 parathas every week
Do you watch Bollywood movies?
Very few, maybe once in a month. Considering they are so extremely left wing, I often end up as a critic after watching the movies. Would prefer Hollywood movies over Bollywood any day.
Rubystars:
Greetings HZ. Why do statues of Hindu deities or paintings of them sometimes contain pine cones? What does this symbolize?
✡ Hindu Zionist ॐ:
Hello Rubystars,
You have asked a question which cannot be answered accurately in few sentences, as its a very deep concept. According to Hinduism, Pine Cone is used to depict the Pineal Gland, which can be awakened for spiritual enlightenment following certain Yoga meditative practices, Like Kundalini (serpentine power) yoga. It is selected to depict the intricate mathametical, meta-physical model of the chakras(energy centers of the body). Also where Hindus talk about three eyed Gods and use iconography to denote such, we do not meant God has 3 eyes. It is only to remind ourself the importance of the third eye(pineal gland awakening) which can bring about special spiritual experiences to the practioner. Well i'm sure i have left more questions for you with my answer. But really i cant help it, and i dont want to missionize my religion to you. Btw these are not the things an average Hindu wishes to learn, similar to an average Jew who dont have much idea about Kabbalah.
