– O corpo, Nāgasena, é querido por vocês, reclusos?
– Não, grande rei.
– Então, por que vocês o nutrem e esbanjam atenção sobre ele?
– Nós o nutrimos e cuidamos dele como você cuidaria de uma ferida, não porque a ferida é querida por você, mas simplesmente para que a carne possa crescer novamente. Por isso, disse o Afortunado:
Esse corpo imundo fede completamente
Como excremento, como latrina;
Esse corpo que os homens que têm entendimento analítico
Condenam, é objeto de deleite para o tolo.

Um tumor onde habitam nove buracos
Enrolado em um casaco de pele pegajosa
E escorrendo sujeira por todos os lados,
Poluindo o ar com fedor em toda parte.
Se por acaso acontecesse
Que o que está por dentro saísse
Com certeza o homem precisaria de um chicote
Para colocar os cachorros e corvos para correr

The Vedanta recognises no sin, it only recognises error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta, is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that. Every time you think in that way, you, as it were, rivet one more link in the chain that binds you down, you add one more layer of hypnotism on to your own soul. Therefore, whosoever thinks he is weak is wrong, whosoever thinks he is impure is wrong, and is throwing a bad thought into the world. This we must always bear in mind that in the Vedanta there is no attempt at reconciling the present life — the hypnotised life, this false life which we have assumed — with the ideal; but this false life must go, and the real life which is always existing must manifest itself, must shine out. No man becomes purer and purer, it is a matter of greater manifestation. The veil drops away, and the native purity of the soul begins to manifest itself. Everything is ours already — infinite purity, freedom, love, and power.

"Unlike the concept of God in some theistic religions, the Dharma-Body is not an all-powerful, interventionist deity remote from its creation; neither does it will the world into existence... The universe is simply a spontaneous disclosure of the boundless that the constitutes the eternal Dharma-Body."

John Paraskevopoulos, "Call of the Infinite"

In ancient Hellenic religion, it was understood that the Gods reside in an eternal state of happiness. This eternal bliss is one of the many unique features distinguishing the Gods from mortal-kind. Thus, happiness should be seen as an integral part of humanity’s service to the divine as the most appropriate attitude one should have when providing the Gods with worship. In this essay, I will argue that, similar to Judaism, happiness is key to receiving the presence of divinity in Hellenic religion, being a vital component of Roman concept of the Pax Deorum. Not only is a happy state of mind seen as something mortals need to maintain a healthy relationship with the Gods, but in line with the reciprocal nature of Hellenic religion often denoted as do ut des, it is something, in turn, gifted to humanity by the divine. I will argue this by addressing two primary points: first, the nature of divine happiness in ancient Graeco-Roman religion. Second, the consequences of how divine happiness influenced spectacle in the Roman world. I will conclude by discussing its implications for contemporary Hellenic religion, and how happiness is an essential value in how we approach the divine in worship.

In the Narada-pancharatra it is said:
"The three Vedas, six Vedangas, poetry, demigods, words, and everything else, are all situated in the eight-syllable mantra."

"The eight-syllable mantra is the essence of all Vedanta philosophy. It is a boat to cross the ocean of repeated birth and death. It is the path followed by they who wish never to be born again."

"A country that honors a person perfect in chanting the eight-syllable mantra will not be touched by disease, poverty, or theft."

"The demigods, demons, Gandharvas, Siddhas, Vidyadharas, and others respectfully bow before a person exalted with knowledge of the eight-syllable mantra."

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Näräyaëa, personally appears in the mouth as the eight-syllable mantra."

Consciousness is all the seeds transforming in various ways, through mutual influence producing the many conceptualizations.

Kali Ma is neither a demon or a feminist icon. Kali Ma is an Avatar of the Goddess Durga. She is a protector and the destroyer of evil. Jai Kali Ma.

"Kama is the root of the world's existence. All that is born originates from Kama, it is by Kama also that primordial matter and all beings eventually dissolve away. Without [passion of] Shiva and Shakti, creation would be nothing but a figment, nothing from birth to death occurs without activation of Kama. Shiva is manifest as the great linga, Shakti essential form is the yoni, by their interaction, the entire world comes into being; this is called the activity of Kama. Canonical erotic art is an extensive subject in authoritative noscriptures, as they say, a place devoid of erotic imagery is a place to be shunned. By Tantric authority, such places are considered inferior and to be avoided, as if tantamount to the lair of death, of impenetrable darkness."

— Shilpa-prakasha 2.498–503

Never allow THIS type of person to infiltrate your religious organization.

“There is an unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, unformed. Were there not, this unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, unformed, there would be no escape from the world of the born, originated, created, formed.

Since, there is an unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, unformed, therefore is there an escape from the born, originated, created, formed”.
