The report Arun Sharma has quoted has 3 glaring errors 1) Missile launched of the cost of Orissa- It was launched of Vizag 2) Missile has a Turbojet?- Where did they get that 3) The Akula can launch SLBM's!!! - need I say more. But one thing intrigues me- 1) CNN-IBN says this is the 6 test 2) The mi...

Since, Hafeez Mohammed brothers and family are being deported anyways , is there any way we can get them extradited anonymously and use behead one at a time for each L-E-T attack to send a message, I guess that is too much of wishful thinking, the uS will not do it and the media will also interupt it.

Valkan S. I am not familiar with the whole of Srimad Bhagvatam so I am aware of the specific passages you are talking about. The few followers of advaita whom I had met in the past were not too familiar with Bhagvatam so I generally thought Srimad Bhagvatam is not given too much in the advaita schoo...

More like personal belief and experience, since Srimad Bhagtvam deals more with Bhakti and Devotinal service, not many people in the advaita school of thought follow it.

ramana Forum Administrator The repentence and redemption story is there in the Srimad Bhagavata too. A habitual sinner on his death bed calls out the name of his son who is named Narayana and attains swarga. So taking the Lord's name is even in vain is sufficient. Maybe Alok or Valkan or others can...

I don't think we take offense to CHristians beliving us going to Hell. What is more offence is how Hindu scriptures are considered mythology, while Christian scriptures are called 'holy'. The best example is that the Rig Veda was invented 2500 years ago- when there is no literary or scientific proof...

Hmmm, Just wondering, how come Paki, BBC , CNN etc do not have a single report on this. Are they too shocked by this development or has India managed to create a smokescreen which makes them feel it is nothing significant??? :D
