Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world. It is the Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law. It has no known origin and no founders - it is a synthesis of various Indian cultures and practices from as early as 4000 BCE. Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Abrahamic religions in that it does not have:
>A single concept of deity,
>A single holy text,
>A single system of morality,
>A central religious authority,
>The concept of a prophet.
Hinduism is neither polytheistic, monotheistic, trinitarian or henotheistic, yet it is all at the same time.
The development of Hinduism was influenced by many invasions over thousands of years. The major influences occurred when light-skinned, nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India (circa 1500 BCE) from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. These beliefs mingled with the more advanced, indigenous Indian native beliefs, often called the "Indus valley culture."
>Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly. >Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world. >People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source. >At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas [temperament] and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser.
Kali Yuga with regard to human relationships
>Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur. >People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that. >Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life. >Sin will increase exponentially, while virtue will fade and cease to flourish. >People will take vows and break them soon after. >People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs. >Teachers will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama(lust) will wrest control of the mind from all human beings.

Jewywood should never be allowed to make an adaptation of the Mahabharat. Krishna, Arjuna, Yudhisthira, Karna, Nakula, Sahadeva, Bhima and other sacred Aryans must never be played by kikes or else I'll paint the ground in Jewish blood.
Tilak is onto something in his book 'Arctic Home In The Vedas', except that the early Vedic Aryans didn't live at the North Pole, but instead lived INSIDE Earth. Earth is hollow and there is an opening that leads into the Inner Earth World at both the North Pole and the South Pole. The ancient Vedic scriptures (especially the Puranas) declare that Earth is a hollow planet and that Vedic civilisation exists in the Inner Earth World (also known as 'Agartha'). The Norwegian man Jens Jansen and his son Olaf Jansen sailed into the Inner Earth World in 1829 and met very tall people there. Olaf wrote a book about all of this called 'The Smoky God' and said that the people there spoke a type of Sanskrit - this vindicates the ancient Vedic scriptures! You can read more about this here:

I don't believe in the Aryan invasion theory, but I strongly believe that there was a global Vedic empire in antiquity. The ancient Vedic writings of India (especially the Puranas) describe human lineages and Vedic culture extending BILLIONS of years into the past and we have suppressed archaeological evidence in the form of human fossils and human artifacts which CONFIRMS this. There are various evidences for the existence of a global Vedic empire, one of which is the fact that the swastika symbol is found on pretty much every continent in the world (you can find swastikas in India, Europe and even Peru, for example). The Vedic writings of Ancient India (including the Puranas) describe Earth as a hollow planet and that Vedic civilisation exists in the Inner Earth World (also known as 'Agartha'). The Norwegian man Jens Jansen and his son Olaf Jansen sailed into the Inner Earth World in 1829 and met very tall people there. Olaf wrote a book about all of this called 'The Smoky God' and said that the people there spoke a type of Sanskrit - this vindicates the Puranas! You can read more about this here:
Not only that, but a statue of the elephant-headed deity Ganesh was found in Queensland in Australia (pic related) and elephants are obviously NOT native to Australia and I'd just like to point out that Ganesh is NOT an exclusively Dravidian deity. Aryans were all over the world in ancient times (including Australia). There are MANY MORE examples like that which you can read about here:
Brahman is like an ocean and Atman is like a wave on that ocean - the wave is inseparable from the ocean. We ought to remember who and what EVERYONE REALLY IS - Pure Consciousness, which is INFINITE AND ETERNAL, experiencing life in a temporary human form. You can do ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO and you can be ANYONE YOU WANT TO BE, while still facing the karmic consequences of your actions. They want us to think that the average person is powerless to positively change the world, but the TRUTH is that we have INFINITE POWER - both individually AND collectively. There's only one of us here. If you hit yourself on the head with a baseball bat, they'll put you in a mental hospital, yet that's EXACTLY what people are doing on a global scale. You can call Pure Consciousness 'God' if you want, but I don't because the word 'God' has religious connotations that I would rather avoid. Religion is the McDonald's of spirituality.
What we need to do is to raise our level of consciousness, both individually AND collectively. If even one person raises his or her level of consciousness, it has a ripple effect that benefits EVERYONE ELSE, even if they don't believe any of this stuff - and this is because 'reality' itself is HOLOGRAPHIC in nature. One of the ways that they have manipulated us so deeply for so long is by suppressing our sense of the possible. What we call 'reality' is COMPLETELY ILLUSORY and thus MALLEABLE - and they KNOW THIS, while most other people do NOT. EVERYTHING IS ILLUSORY, EXCEPT PURE CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF. NOTHING is impossible in a universe that is ILLUSORY TO BEGIN WITH. People are AWAKENING to a MORE EXPANDED CONCEPTION of the world and life in general and this is a PROFOUNDLY GOOD THING. We owe it to our innate intelligence to QUESTION EVERYTHING and that includes EVERYTHING that I tell you. We have the power to transform this prison illusion into a PARADISE ILLUSION, so let's USE that power. (end of part 1)
Adam Howard

Ryan Miller
(start of part 2) We are all one - and the beauty of this is that we don't have to be cucks despite this fact (and it IS a fact). We can STILL save the white race from extinction and prevent the end of Western Civilisation. We ought to embrace nationalist principles to protect Western Civilisation and save the white race from extinction even while REMEMBERING who and what WE REALLY ARE - Pure Consciousness (which is INFINITE AND ETERNAL) experiencing life in a temporary human form. Our TRUE STATE, our TRUE NATURE and our TRUE IDENTITY is Pure Consciousness and Pure Consciousness is ALL-PERFECT AND EVER-PERFECT. We are SIMULTANEOUSLY one yet different in our oneness in much the same way that the waves of an ocean are one with that ocean but are also unique in and of themselves in that each wave has its own shape, speed and size. I think that's pretty neat. What we call 'reality' is HOLOGRAPHIC in nature, so we are in fact smaller versions of the whole (which you can call 'God', if you want). Every part of the whole contains the whole and, to be more accurate, IS the whole. And just as a drop of water contains the same qualities as an entire ocean of water, we likewise contain all that exists within us - but merely on a smaller scale. From unconditional love we ALL sprang and to unconditional love we ALL return. I am another you and you are another me. There is no death, only transference of consciousness. There are no answers, only choices. There are no hallucinations, only shifts in perception. There are no laws, only habits. There are no coincidences, only synchronicities. There are no truths, only experiences. There is no separateness, only oneness. Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my message shall NEVER pass away. The message is more important than the messenger. (end of part 2)

I just finished reading the essential Upanishads.
How do you reconcile focusing on the Brahman, meditating on the Self, and still functioning in a capitalistic world?
Or should I perform my work without focusing too much on material gain?
Cameron Reyes
(start of part 3) We can make anime 'real' for ourselves, then have sex with our waifus, simply by using manojava siddhi (which is the ability to instantly take your body wherever your mind goes, which is basically teleportation) to teleport ourselves into a universe where anime is 'real'. In the ancient Sanskrit language of India, the word 'siddhi' means 'perfection'. In its most common usage, the word 'siddhi' refers to an ability that is a natural and inherent faculty of our true identities as eternally alive souls. The soul is smaller than an atom and larger than the universe. The soul is infinitely small and infinitely large. The soul is ALL-PERFECT AND EVER-PERFECT. The soul is the storehouse of ALL ENERGY, ALL POWER AND ALL STRENGTH. The soul is PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. The soul possesses ALL siddhis and there are an INFINITE number of siddhis. Among all of these siddhis, there are considered to be eight major siddhis. Siddhis can be awakened through a variety of methods. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras IV.1, it is stated:
"Siddhis may be attained through birth, the use of herbs, incantations, self-discipline or samadhi."
Here is a list of the eight major siddhis (in no particular order):
Laghima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as light as you want.
Garima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as heavy as you want.
Mahima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as large as you want.
Anima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as small as you want.
Prapti siddhi: Having unrestricted access to any and/or all places.
Prakamya siddhi: Fulfillment of whatever you desire.
Isitva siddhi: Control over any and/or all of the laws of nature.
Vasitva siddhi: Being able to control any and/or all beings.
"A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (end of part 3)
Owen Anderson
(start of part 4) You can awaken your siddhis through samyama, which is a state of consciousness in which one perceives the fundamental level of 'reality' where a perceiving subject (like you, for example) is merged with your perceived object. For example, to achieve laghima siddhi, you have to perform samyama on the lightness of a feather (for example) so that you become as light as that feather (or that you become the lightness of that feather, if you want to look at it that way). (end of part 4)
Joseph Diaz
(start of part 5) Some people sneer at the siddhis because they do not believe in their existence, others because they think it is noble and spiritual to despise them. Both attitudes proceed from ignorance. Like that kike Jesus Christ said truly "Be in the world, but not of the world." If you realise that this world is naught but Maya and are not attached to it, then you can play with it and have fun with it. Siddhis only keep you tied to Samsara if you are attached to them. The siddhis in and of themselves are neither good nor evil, but represent the next level of both humanity's physical evolution and humanity's mental evolution. Siddhis are only a spiritual hazard if you are attached to them. Yogis know that the siddhis can be a distraction to the true spiritual goal of moksha if they are not used properly and that is why they NEVER use their siddhis for ego-based reasons, but ONLY to help other people without ANY desire to be rewarded and also as calling cards to make people accept that there is indeed a spiritual component to 'reality' that exists beyond the reach of the five senses. Anime won't ever BECOME 'real' because anime is ALREADY 'real' in an infinite number of universes. Anime is not 'real' here, but it IS 'real'. What we call 'reality' is illusory and therefore malleable. NOTHING is impossible in a universe that is ILLUSORY TO BEGIN WITH. EVERYTHING IS ILLUSORY, EXCEPT FOR PURE CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF (WHICH IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL). I shall use manojava siddhi to teleport into a universe where anime is 'real' and make sweet, sweet love to one of my waifus there. Indians can teach us how to enter these other universes to make sweet, sweet love to our waifus through manojava siddhi. (end of part 5)

Eli Anderson
(start of part 6) Once I teleport my waifu into this universe using manojava siddhi, I will use manojava siddhi to teleport my waifu and I into a Simpsons universe, then I will use kamarupam siddhi (which is the ability to assume any form you desire) to 'Simpsonise' my waifu and I by making my waifu and I look like what we'd look like if we were Simpsons characters (such as having yellow skin and four fingers on each of our hands, for example), then I will use manojava siddhi again to teleport my waifu and I into a Star Wars universe, then travel to Naboo, then have a date with my waifu on Naboo. Then I will teleport my waifu back into this universe using manojava siddhi and then I will use anima siddhi (which is the ability to make your body and/or anything else as small as you want) to shrink the Moon until it can fit in the palm of my hand. Then I will turn the Moon into a necklace for my waifu. (end)

According to orthodox Hinduism, the Kali Yuga began on the 18th of February 3102 BC. The cycle known as the 'Fifth Sun' in the Mayan calendar began in 3114 BC. 3114 BC is a mere 12 years after 3102 BC. That is NOT a (((coincidence))).
Michael Mitchell
I'm interested in the cyclical conception of human history that pre-Abrahamic cultures had. The Ancient Greeks had a cyclical conception of human history that was similar to the cyclical conception of human history that the Hindus had (and STILL have). The Ancient Greeks had a Golden Age (equivalent to Satya Yuga in Hinduism), a Silver Age (equivalent to Treta Yuga in Hinduism), a Bronze Age (equivalent to Dwapara Yuga in Hinduism) and an Iron Age (equivalent to Kali Yuga in Hinduism). I call the model of human history that is currently dominant among historians 'the linear-progressive model of human history'. The linear-progressive model of human history basically says that the further back in human history you go, the more primitive that humans, their cultures and their technology becomes. The linear-progressive model of human history embraced by modern historians and modern anthropologists actually has its roots in Judeo-Christian beliefs, ironically enough. Virtually EVERY pre-Abrahamic culture WORLDWIDE embraced a conception of human history that was CYCLICAL, with civilisations rising and falling one after the other over VAST periods of time and humans being EXTREMELY OLD. Take the Puranas (a collection of ancient Indian writings), for example. The Puranas describe human lineages going back over a BILLION YEARS into the past and we have SUPPRESSED ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE (in the form of human fossils and human artifacts) that CONFIRMS this. (end of part 1)
Landon Perry
(start of part 2) Humans are BILLIONS of years old and are NOT NATIVE to Earth. Here is merely SOME evidence (though DEFINITELY not ALL of the evidence) suggesting not only a human presence on Earth BILLIONS of years ago, but also suggesting complex human civilisations on Earth BILLIONS of years ago:
* A human skull fragment from Hungary dated between 250,000 and 450,000 years ago * A human footprint with accompanying paleoliths (stones deliberately chipped into a recognisable tool type), bone tools, hearths and shelters, discovered in France and dated 300,000 to 400,000 years * Paleoliths in Spain, a partial human skeleton and paleoliths in France; two English skeletons, one with associated paleoliths, ALL at least 300,000 years old * Skull fragments and paleoliths in Kenya and advanced paleoliths, of modern human manufacture, in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, dated between 400,000 and 700,000 years * Neoliths (the most advanced stone tools and utensils) in China of a type that indicate full human capacity, dated to 600,000 years * Hearths, charcoal, human femurs and broken animal bones, all denoting modern humanity, in Java, dated to 830,000 years * An anatomically modern human skull discovered in Argentina and dated between 1 million and 1.5 million years years (eoliths -chipped pebbles, thought to be the earliest known tools- at Monte Hermoso, also in Argentina, are believed to be between 1 and 2.5 million years old). * A human tooth from Java yielding a date between 1 and 1.9 million years years * Incised bones, dated between 1.2 and 2.5 million years, have been found in Italy * Discoveries of paleoliths, cut and charred bones at Xihoudu in China and eoliths from Diring Yurlakh in Siberia dated to 1.8 million years * Eoliths in India, paleoliths in England, Belgium, Italy and Argentina, flint blades in Italy, hearths in Argentina, a carved shell, pierced teeth and even two human jaws all bearing a minimum date of 2 million years (end of part 2)
Jackson Lopez
(start of part 3) Curiously enough, several of the very earliest artifact discoveries display a truly extraordinary level of sophistication. In Idaho, for example, a 2-million-year-old clay figurine was unearthed in 1912. But even this discovery does not mark an outer limit. Bones, vertebrae and even complete skeletons have been found in Italy, Argentina and Kenya. Their minimum datings range from 3 million to 4 million years. A human skull, a partial human skeleton and a collection of neoliths discovered in California have been dated in excess of 5 million years. A human skeleton discovered at Midi in France, paleoliths found in Portugal, Burma and Argentina, a carved bone and flint flakes from Turkey all have a minimum age of 5 million years. How far back can human history be pushed with discoveries like these? The answer seems to be a great deal further than orthodox science currently allows. As if the foregoing discoveries were not enough, we need to take account of: * Paleoliths from France dated between 7 and 9 million years * An eolith from India with a minimum dating of 9 million years * Incised bones from France, Argentina and Kenya no less than 12 million years old * More paleolith discoveries from France, dated at least 20 million years ago * Neoliths from California in excess of 23 million years * Three different kinds of paleoliths from Belgium with a minimum dating of 26 million years * An anatomically modern human skeleton, neoliths and carved stones found at the Table Mountain, California and dated at least 33 million years ago But even 33 million years is not the upper limit. A human skeleton found in Switzerland is estimated to be between 38 and 45 million years old. France has yielded up eoliths, paleoliths, cut wood and a chalk ball, the minimum ages of which range from 45 to 50 million years. There's still more. (end of part 3)
Michael Campbell
(start of part 4) In 1960, H. L. Armstrong announced in Nature magazine the discovery of fossil human footprints near the Paluxy River, in Texas. Dinosaur footprints were found in the same strata. In 1983, the Moscow News reported the discovery of a fossilised human footprint next to the fossil footprint of a three-toed dinosaur in the Turkamen Republic. Dinosaurs have been extinct for approximately 65 million years. In 1983, Professor W. G. Burroughs of Kentucky reported the discovery of three pairs of fossil tracks dated to 300 million years ago. They showed left and right footprints. Each print had five toes and a distinct arch. The toes were spread apart like those of a human used to walking barefoot. The foot curved back like a human foot to what appeared to be a human heel. There was a pair of prints in the series that showed a left and right foot. The distance between them is just what you'd expect in modern human footprints. In December 1862, The Geologist carried news of a human skeleton found 27.5 m (90 ft) below the surface in a coal seam in Illinois. The seam was dated between 286 and 320 million years. It's true that a few eoliths, skull fragments and fossil footprints, however old, provide no real backing for the idea of advanced prehistoric human civilisations. But some other discoveries do. In 1968, an American fossil collector named William J. Meister found a fossilised human shoe print near Antelope Spring, Utah. There were trilobite fossils in the same stone, which means it was at least 245 million years old. Close examination showed that the sole of this shoe differed little, if at all, from those of shoes manufactured today. In 1897, a carved stone showing multiple faces of an old man was found at a depth of 40 m (130 ft) in a coal mine in Iowa. The coal there was of similar age. (end of part 4)
Colton Smith
when does it end tho
Logan Hall
(start of part 5) A piece of coal yielded up an encased iron cup in 1912. Frank J. Kenwood, who made the discovery, was so intrigued he traced the origin of the coal and discovered it came from the Wilburton Mine in Oklahoma. The coal there is about 312 million years old. In 1844, Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster reported the discovery of a metal nail embedded in a sandstone block from a quarry in the north of England. The head was completely encased, ruling out the possibility that it had been driven in at some recent date. The block from which it came is approximately 360 million years old. On 22 June 1844, The Times reported that a length of gold thread had been found by workmen embedded in stone close to the River Tweed. This stone too was around 360 million years old. Astonishing though these dates may appear to anyone familiar with the orthodox theory of human origins, they pale in comparison with the dates of two further discoveries. According to Scientific American, dated 5 June 1852, blasting activities at Meeting House Hill, in Dorchester, Massachusetts, unearthed a metallic, bell-shaped vessel extensively decorated with silver inlays of flowers and vines. The workmanship was described as 'exquisite'. The vessel was blown out of a bed of Roxbury conglomerate dated somewhat earlier than 600 million years. In 1993, Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson reported the discovery 'over the past several decades' of hundreds of metallic spheres in a pyrophyllite mine in South Africa. The spheres are grooved and give the appearance of having been manufactured. If so, the strata in which they were found suggest they were manufactured 2.8 BILLION years ago. (end of part 5)
Tyler Hughes
(start of part 6) What are we to make of these perplexing discoveries? They cannot simply be dismissed. If even ONE of these discoveries is TRUE (and I believe that MANY if not ALL of these discoveries are TRUE), then it changes EVERYTHING that modern mainstream anthropologists THOUGHT they knew about the human species. (end of part 6)
Parker Allen
(start of part 7) There's a book by Ellis Silver called 'Humans Are Not From Earth: A Scientific Evaluation Of The Evidence'. He says (among other things) that sunburn, our relatively high chance of experiencing back pain and pain during labour are types of evidence that Earth is not an optimal environment for human beings and that we come from elsewhere. My theory regarding the origin of the human species is that the human species comes from elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy and, at some point in the distant past, our extremely ancient ancestors colonised vast swathes of the Milky Way galaxy (and are possibly still doing so) and both Mars and Earth were colonised by them along the way. There are pyramidal structures and a Sphinx-like object in various NASA photos of Mars. I also think that a fiercely destructive interplanetary war caused the destruction of a planet that used to exist between Mars and Jupiter, leaving only the asteroid belt that we know today. This war also sterilised Mars, turning what was once a lush, verdant, Earth-like planet into a cold, lifeless desert. (end)
Zachary Evans
>hinduism is this, hinduism is that So what? Why should I care and why are you posting this on a political board?
Carson Cruz
According to mainstream Hindu beliefs, the current Kali Yuga will end 427,000 years from now. But Sri Yukteswar claims in his magnificent book 'The Holy Science' that we are actually in Dwapara Yuga right now. I completely agree with Sri Yukteswar, I think that we are in Dwapara Yuga right now.
There is a cycle of time known in the ancient Vedic scriptures as a 'manvantar'. There are 14 manvantars in each Day of Brahma and each manvantar is 306,720,000 Earth years in length. In the current Day of Brahma, 6 manvantars have passed and we are currently in the 7th manvantar. Each manvantar ends with a cataclysm which wipes out most of the life on Earth. What's interesting here is that according to modern mainstream science, there have been 6 major extinction events in the past. I strongly believe that there is a connection between the manvantar cycle and the supercontinent cycle. One complete supercontinent cycle is said to take 300 to 500 million years and one complete manvantar cycle is 306,720,000 years.
Here is a list of the supercontinents on Earth with some information about them (including the manvantars I believe they formed in):
Kenorland: Believed to have formed 2.7 billion years ago, it corresponds to the Svayambhuva manvantar.
Nena: Believed to have formed 1.8 billion years ago, it corresponds to the Svarocisha manvantar.
Columbia: Believed to have formed 1.5 billion years ago, it corresponds to the Auttama manvantar.
Rodinia: Believed to have formed 1.1 billion years ago, it corresponds to the Tamasa manvantar.
Pannotia: Believed to have formed 600 million years ago, it corresponds to the Raivata manvantar.
Euramerica: Believed to have formed 300 million years ago, it corresponds to the Chakshusha manvantar.
Pangaea: Believed to have formed 250 million years ago, it corresponds to the Vaivasvata manvantar (which is the current manvantar).
P.S. My calculations could be incorrect. kek

I was memeing user, you could learn to surf this yug of degeneracy or not care about it but it does present an intriguing topic
Parkaya Pravesh means entering one’s soul in the body of some other person. Through this knowledge even a dead body can be brought to life.
Just about three thousand years back, Shankaracharya had to take help of this knowledge in order to defeat Mandan Mishra in a spiritual debate. But as time passed this knowledge became extinct in the society and today only a very few yogis have full practical knowledge of this unique practice.
This knowledge is considered to be so important and secret that only a few yogis, known to me, know of this practice and after them this practice shall perhaps vanish from this Earth.
2. HAADI VIDYA
This vidya (a Sanskrit word meaning 'knowledge') has been mentioned in several ancient texts. On acquiring this vidya a person neither feels hungry nor thirsty and he can remain without eating food or drinking water for several days at a stretch.
Several yogis of the Himalayas, remain engrossed in deep sadhanas ('sadhana' being a Sanskrit word referring to spiritual exercises of any sort) for months and years without eating or drinking anything. When they do not eat or drink, they do not even have to empty their bowels. Thus they are able to perform long penance for years and their bodies also remain healthy and fit, even without food. Acharya Vishnu Sarang, the famous Tantrik from Nepal and Yogi Manohar are proficient in this vidya as well as the mysterious wandering Digambara monk Trailanga Swami. Although not always counted among siddhis per se, several instances have been cited regarding Trailanga Swami's ability to spend hours under the water of the Ganges as he sought to teach men that human life need not depend on oxygen under the auspices of certain spiritual conditions and precautions. (end of part 1)
Jonathan White
(start of part 2) It has been reported there is a yogi that lives on the peak of the holy mountain Arunachala who has not had anything to eat since 1990.
3. KAADI VIDYA
Just as one does not feel hungry or thirsty in haadi vidya, similarly in kaadi vidya a person is not affected by change of seasons i.e. by summer, winter, rain etc. After accomplishing this vidya, a person shall not feel cold even if he sits in the snow-laden mountains and shall not feel hot even if he sits in the fire. Thus a sadhak (the title given to a performer of a sadhana or sadhanas) can perform incessant penance without being affected by change of weather or seasons.
The Jain scholar, Pragya Sun had accomplished both the haadi & kaadi vidyas. Guru Gorakhnath and Matsayendranath too had accomplished them.
Today the Jain scholar of Mahabalipuram Sun Maharaj and Yogi Vishambhar of Badrinath are accomplished in these vidyas and have kept these practices alive.
4. MADALASA VIDYA
On accomplishing this vidya, a person becomes capable of increasing or decreasing the size of his body according to his wish. Lord Hanuman had miniaturised his body through this vidya while entering the city of Lanka.
The average height of a human being is six feet. Through this vidya a person can reduce the size of his body to the size of a mosquito and can even enlarge his body to a size of over a hundred feet.
A few years back a conference of yogis was held on the Bhairav hill, near Dehradun and in this conference Tailang Baba (an ascetic) demonstrated this miraculous practice before hundreds of yogis. This vidya is almost extinct today and in my opinion only Tailang Baba has accomplished it. (end of part 2)

(start of part 3) 5. VAYU GAMAN SIDDHI
Through this siddhi a person can become capable of flying in the skies and traveling from one place to another in just a few seconds. The Jain scriptures speak of Jain ascetics who could fly from place to place in a few seconds. Swami Divakarsuri and Swami Pragyasuri have been such accomplished ascetics. Although there are several occasions of individuals flying reported in the sutras of classical Buddhism and Zen, the venerable Pindola Bharadvaja is probably the person most commonly cited.
Swami Vishuddhanandji (sometimes spelled: Vishuddhananda, Vishudhanandaaka; aka: Gandha Baba, Perfume Saint), well-known for his supernatural powers and said to be an adept associated with the mysterious Gyanganj (Jnanaganj) hermitage somewhere in Tibet -- a secret place of great masters -- demonstrated this practice in Varanasi and proved that it is not a myth.
Although throughout his life the enlightened sage Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi never exhibited the slightest interest in siddhis, occult abilities, or psychic powers to outsiders, he had a fully conscious bilocation experience he rarely discussed wherein he was translocated from his ashram in a matter of minutes to a devotee many, many miles away. Arthur Osborne, Ramana's biographer writes in Ramana Maharshi And The Path Of Self-Knowledge, New York Beach: Samuel Weiser, Inc., 1995, pages 96-97):
"One day, some years ago, I (Sri Ramana) was lying down and awake when I distinctly felt my body rise higher and higher. I could see the physical objects below growing smaller and smaller until they disappeared and all around me was a limitless expanse of dazzling light. (end of part 3)

Buddhism is Hinduism for Plebs
Brayden Hernandez
I'm tired right now, so you might be right. But either way, the time difference is not very much and that's not a (((coincidence))).
Buddhism is a daughter religion of Hinduism.
Adam Phillips
(start of part 4) After some time I felt the body slowly descend and the physical objects below began to appear. I was so fully aware of this incident that I finally concluded that it must be by such means that sages using the powers of siddhis travel over vast distances in a short time and appear and disappear in such a mysterious manner. While the body thus descended to the ground it occurred to me that I was at Tiruvottiyur though I had never seen the place before. I found myself on a highroad and walked along it. At some distance from the roadside was a temple of Ganapati and I entered it."
Today, Yogi Chaitanya Swami of Madurai and Yogi Niranjan Swami living near Kanya Kumari are the yogis who have accomplished this practice. But it seems that this knowledge shall perish with them.
6. KANAKDHARA SIDDHI
One can acquire immense and unlimited wealth through this siddhi. It’s said that once Shankaracharya saw a very poor and destitute woman and with the help of the kanakdhara yantra, he showered gold in her house. This yantra is made on a silver plate and 36 squares are formed by drawing 7 lines each, horizontally and vertically. Then the beej mantra is written in these squares. Today only a very few people have full and authentic knowledge of this siddhi.
7. PRAKYA SADHANA
Through this sadhana, a yogi can direct his disciple to take birth from the womb of a woman, who is childless or cannot bear children. Several yogis have thus blessed infertile women with children. Swami Vishuddhanand had accomplished this sadhana and had used it to bring happiness into the lives of several women. But today only two or three persons are accomplished in this sadhana.

(start of part 5) 8. SURYA VIGYAN
This solar science is one of the most significant sciences of ancient India. This science has been known only to the Indian yogis and using it, one substance can be transformed into another through the medium of sun rays.
Swami Vishudhananda had demonstrated the miracles of this science about 50-60 years ago, by transforming a paper into rose and a cotton ball into gold.
This science has been kept alive by Divyendu Ghosh and some other yogis, otherwise it has become almost extinct.
9. MRIT SANJIVANI VIDYA
This vidya was created by Adi Shankaracharya. Through it even a dead person can be brought back to life. This practice may seem to be a myth but it had been used by Guru Gorakhnath several times. Today only a few persons have practical knowledge of this vidya." (end)

Hinduism is Buddhism for the delusion

Easy the edge might cut you
Charles Robinson
I guess I was asking too much. With every closed system there is usually an answer to basic question as "who am I", "where do I come from" and "what should I do"
I'm getting the information for the first two but "just do what you want, it's the spirit of the yuga" answer seems rather simplistic.

Hinduism is basically an umbrella term for many very different belief systems and philosophies. Everything that Buddhism teaches is found in Hinduism and even atheism exists in Hinduism (the Charvaka school of Hinduism is atheistic).

Is there a definition of what is good and what is bad in hinduism and what effect does it have on the acting individual.

Their is no definition of good and bad, you are born with a duty or dharma the actions you perform are karma, the closer your karma is to your dharma the easier it is to escape the cycle of life and death.
Easton Wood
Ride the tiger represents very well what you need to do in this yug
Jeremiah Brooks
There are different definitions about what is good and what is bad in Hinduism, but there is a general agreement about not harming anyone (unless it is only in self-defense). I think the thing with Hinduism is that it is too lofty a religion for some people to truly appreciate. For example, Hinduism does not outright condemn pleasurable things like drinking wine and having non-reproductive sex (for example) because in Hinduism, the four goals of life are dharma (i.e. living your life in a righteous way), artha (economic prosperity), kama (pleasure) and moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). So pleasure is literally one of the goals of life in Hinduism, but the highest goal is dharma, which ultimately leads to moksha. Dharma is the most important goal, followed by artha, then followed by kama.
I completely agree with you.
John Johnson
The world will reach the point where the Muslim question will dominate world politcs. The entire world will unite to extinct Islam from earth.

What if each member of his family has different occupations? Dharma isn't merely about what job you have. The Sanskrit word 'dharma' cannot be accurately translated into English, because there is no exact equivalent English word for 'dharma'. 'Duty' is one of the meanings of dharma (along with righteousness), but 'duty' in this context refers to more than just the job you do to get paid - it refers to the spiritual lessons you must learn and the karmic debts you must pay.
