Your people are the scourge of the Earth. You, alongside the Jews, have created a system that will inevitably destroy beauty and truth, so corrosive that it will inevitably devour itself, leaving behind only the chaos and ruin it produced.
There has never been a materialist worldview that has damaged the world in the same way the Enlightenment did, produced by the warped minds of the French and taken to it's logical conclussion by the soulless *nglos, all with the handy help of the Jews. Not epicurianism, not stoicism, not moism, not charvaka, no, it was you the ones that managed to do it, you destroyed the only principle in which a worthwhile life can be founded upon, and that is trascendence.

That’s false, most forms of Vaishnavism, Shaivism and Shaktism do accept non-Indian converts because in the Vaishnavite Agamas (Pancharatra) and in the Shaivist Agamas, it says that people can be initiated into Vaishnavism/Shaivism regardless of caste, ancestry etc.

Each sect has their own official or unofficial conversion/initiation ritual, in Vaishnavism for example it’s called Samasrayana, this is what’s done in multiple Vaishnavite schools

> Samasrayana means 'to approach with all sincerity and truthfulness to Acharya'. During this rite, the acharya initiates a person, irrespective of sex, caste, social status etc., as his or her sishya. It is a commitment from the disciple that he or she will live as per the wishes of the acharya. Thus, the person gets the link to the Vaishnava tradition.

>I fail to see how someone outside of the caste system could ever truly be accepted as an adherent rather than as just a well meaning hanger on.
Well, once you undergo the initiation procedure of a certain sect, then you are a full-fledged member of it. This is really all that’s important, it’s not really necessary to be recognized by all billion+ Hindus and other sects, they will often disagree with the exact teachings of your sect anyway. If you undergo the initiation then you are an adherent, it’s really as simple as that.

You know how Hindus got their name? From Hind due to their passivity and gentle peacefulness (Oera Linda). Hind in OLD ENGLISH. Yes! Just as Dius Pitar is Jupiter. Deus Pater. The Arya were Celts who were visited by the Frisians and Alexander the Great. These men worshipped warrior monk pantheons of alternating theatricality never a dogma of doctrines as metaphysically certain but wholly sensed and agreeable to respected genius in the hierarchy in Pythagorean harmony. The Hindus were the studious unwarriorlike brown dravidian natives who adopted the Vedic religion of the white Arya and after the mixing of the castes (races), coopted all clean discrepencies and think themselves the standard originators where they only bear the standard as far as it benefits their karma "I dont get involved" messy character. Studious but unproductive and uncooperative and so gentle as to accept the filth of India. The warrior monks lived in purity as they poetically subjugated the gentle Dravidians and the Dravidians called them the Arya masters in gratitude. These words are mixed up to warp ignorance of etymology into racial resentment.

Interviewer: "Some people say, that a foreigner can not truly become a Hinduist, because he does not have the gotra (ancestral lineage); that it is possible to become a hindu only if you were born in an Indian family. However, you give traditional initiation to the foreigners – what is your opinion about this (can a Western man be considered to be Hindu the way the Indian one is considered)? Does a Western receive the same initiation in virashivaism as does an Indian?"

Jagadguru Mahaswamiji: "Yes, foreigner receive just the same initiation as Indians do. There are two kinds of traditions in Hinduism – those based on Vedas and those based on Agamas. Vedas and Agamas are equally acknowledged as the sources of sacred knowledge. Both of them originated from God: Vedas are called to be the breathing of God, and Agamas – are his words. Shaiva Agamas are the dialogs of Shiva and Parvati. The system described in Vedas is based on social division (based on varnas: brahmana, kshatriya, vaysha, and shudra). Only men who are representatives of the three varnas (brahmana, kshatriya, and vaysha) qualify for (Vedic) initiation. In Agamas another kind of initiation is described – diksha. This initiation can be received by anyone regardless of gender and social position. In this case, mind condition of a person is important, his aspiration for self-actualization. The teacher watches the student, assesses his level of readiness, and according to this gives him diksha. In Agamas it is said: “Having appraised the level of God energy presence in a person (the devotion of a person) initiation should be given to him.” (“Shaktipatam samalokya dikshaya yojaed amum.”) In this way, in virashivaism and other traditions, based on Agamas, origin and citizenship of a person have no importance."

This is the “no true scotsman” logical fallacy. You are arbitrarily defining what it means to be a Hindu in ways that millions of Hindus would reject.

That is only your subjective viewpoint as an outsider but it’s not an official axiom of Hinduism. In the views of most Shaivists the Vedas don’t hold anymore authority than the Agamas, and one could even argue that in such schools it is implicit that the path/teachings of the Vedas is inferior in aspects to that of the Agamas, or at least this is how some Shaivists view it. So, you are not actually making any objective statement of truth by saying without a caste you can’t fully participate in Hinduism. It would be true of VEDIC Hinduism, but not Agamic Hinduism. And Hinduism as a general category includes both.

Then two catholic doctors looked at it and said the blood and wafer were meshed together, well no shit if they've been soaking together, and there is not one scientific oredical article cited, it's literally all reporting in catholic magazines so there is no way to corroborate any of the story, which is weak even taken at face value. That's not what scientific evidence is, never mind proof.

The wafer would have dissolved after a few weeks in water, let alone three years. Not to mention there was no sign of decay or preservation. You're either dense or stubborn.

>Where's this vaunted enlightenment?

>"Even the loftiest philosophy of the Europeans, the idealism of reason, as it is set forth by Greek philosophers, appears in comparison with the abundant light and vigor of Oriental idealism, like a feeble Promethean spark in the full flood of heavenly glory of the noonday sun—faltering and feeble, and ever ready to be extinguished."
- Friedrich von Schlegel (1772 – 1829)

>"When we read with attention the poetical and philosophical monuments of the East, above all, those of India, which are beginning to spread in Europe, we discover there many a truth, and truths so profound, and which make such a contrast with the meanness of the results at which the European genius has sometimes stopped, that we are constrained to bend the knee before the philosophy of the East, and to see in this cradle of the human race the native land of the highest philosophy."
- Victor Cousin (1792 – 1867)

>"It is impossible to read the Vedanta, or the many fine compositions in illustration of it, without believing that Pythagoras and Plato derived their sublime theories from the same fountain with the sages of India."
- Sir William Jones ( 1746 – 1794)

>"I spend my happiest hours in reading Vedantic books. They are to me like the light of the morning, like the pure air of the mountains - so simple, so true, if once understood."
- Max Muller (1823 – 1900)

>"In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavat Geeta, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial…"

>(The Bhagavad Gita is) "The most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue ....perhaps the deepest and loftiest thing the world has to show."
- Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767 – 1835)

>"I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)

Monotheism is superior to polytheism because it’s a conception of truth higher than the relative truth a pagan god embodies. In paganism truth is disparate, different gods embody love or war etc. but monotheism transcends this by recognizing all as a manifestation of one perfect source. Therefore the best religions in India are things like Vedanta. Paganism in India stunted the country and allowed it to get cucked.

I’m very interested in the fate of India this next century in the context of global politics. It will play a pivotal role with its massive population and location between the Middle East and China. Will they stay under the West’s thumb? I hope not, but are there any groups capable of some revolution? Anyone know more about current Indian politics? Though they would be domineering, I think siding with China would have a better long term result for India than staying with the West. Idk how possible siding with China is tho.

I don’t know why public defecators keep on trying to compare their 100 million god religion to Christianity. I’ve studied a fair deal of Hinduism and it hardly has anything in common with the former.

They’re trying to subvert Christianity because they have resentment towards missionaries and Western society in general due to colonialism. So they like to act like they have le true wisdom and try to appropriate Jesus. Hindu ideas are a bigger threat to Christians than one would think.

As an Indian it's always hilarious to see people fall head over heels over Hindu religion/spirtuality.

>Muh materialism

Yeah cause material conditions definitely don't matter to some degree, that's why you should allow your nations to get progressively weaker enough to allow foreign religions to invade or random new religions to spring up.

Most Hindus believe in the 'Artha' which is instrumental to contemporary Hinduism as meaning 'wealth in terms of money'. Again Hinduism has like a dozen different beliefs because of it's age so you can cherry pick the decent sounding parts while ignoring the rest like you can do with any faith but that's ignoring the moral and spiritual ruin in the wide majority of Hindu dominated regions.

Ultimately paganist beliefs are much more divisive than monotheistic ones as history has proven time and again. But monotheistic religions are at the same time more affected by poor leadership/central authority.

It's very common among intellectual circles to demonize your own dominant side while praising random external belief systems.

It's true that monotheism in general is a more developed and stronger theology, but the highest metaphysical conceptions are ways of pantheism, panentheism or other forms of idealism, and a strict monotheism like Christianity is what blocking Europeans from reaching that worldview en masse, while you can go there from polytheism because of their non exclusivist nature, like you see with Vedanta or even Neoplatonism.
