Chicago Speech of Vivekananda Buddhism, the fulfilment of hinduism
Swami #Vivekananda Bengali: , Shāmi Bibekānondo; 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born #Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of# Vedanta and #Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising #interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the #Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his Guru, Ramakrishna Deva, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He later traveled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.

St Augustine: On Christian Teaching, How To Read Scripture
St Augustine: On Christian Teaching, How To Read ScriptureReflections on Morality, Philosophy, and History
St Augustine’s key work, On Christian Teaching, is translated often as On Christian Doctrine, teaches us how to read Scriptures and teach and spread our faith to our neighbors. What is the core of this work? We should Love God with all of our heart and with all of our soul and with all of our mind and with all of our strength, and we should love our neighbor as ourselves. If we do not love our neighbor, we cannot Love God, and if we do not Love God and our neighbor, we cannot fathom Scripture, let alone deign to teach and preach the Scriptures.
St Augustine teaches, “Whoever thinks he understands the Holy Scriptures, or any part of them, but interprets them in a way that does not build up this two-fold Love of God and love of neighbor, does not truly understand the Scriptures. If, on the other hand, a man draws a meaning from Scriptures that builds up the two-fold Love of God and love of his neighbor, although he does not precisely understand the exact meaning of the author, his error is not pernicious, and he is wholly clear from the charge of deception.”
St Augustine further teaches that if someone with a good heart and pure motives has a mistaken interpretation of Scripture, that “if his mistaken interpretation of Scripture tends to build up love, . . . he goes astray in much the same way as a man who by mistake quits the high road, but yet reaches through the fields the same place to which the road leads.”

Overcoming Discouragement
Overcoming Discouragement provides keys to overcoming discouragement through application rather than just mental assent. It discusses recognizing and changing negative self-talk, relying on God and welcoming the Holy Spirit for strength, spending time with encouraging Christian communities, and setting goals to develop vision and bring out your potential.
Astrology or Biblical Astronomy
Astrology and biblical astronomy both study celestial bodies, but with key differences. Astrology believes celestial positions influence human lives, while biblical astronomy views bodies as signs reflecting God's light. The Zodiac signs used in astrology date to Roman times and have shifted about one sign from when the constellations were actually created. Biblical astronomy aligns the Hebrew calendar and feasts like Passover with the constellations' positions at significant historical events like Jesus's crucifixion. Revelation predicts future apocalyptic signs involving eclipses and comets.
Icy Decision
The research team found themselves stranded on an ice floe after a storm caused their shelter and boat to break away from the mainland. Facing hypothermia and drowning, they constructed a makeshift boat from a whale holder to try to survive. After their ice floe cracked further, forcing them into the unstable boat, one of the researchers prayed to God for the first time, asking for forgiveness and rescue. By morning, the storm had passed and a Coast Guard helicopter spotted and rescued them. The researcher found lasting peace through committing his life to Christ during the ordeal.
Rediscovered Planet
1) The captain and narrator land on a far-flung planet to search for settlers who had been lost for nearly two centuries.
2) After searching for a week, they discover underground complexes inhabited by the descendants of the original settlers.
3) They find the population has split into three distinct levels - one focused on physical pleasures, one on intellectual pursuits, and the deepest level focused on spiritual well-being and faith in Jesus Christ.
New Age or New Birth
The document compares and contrasts the New Age belief system with the Christian concept of the New Birth.
The New Age believes all living and non-living things are part of a universal soul and praying to oneself to solve problems. However, no individual has the ability to fix themselves or others.
The New Birth holds that individuals are sinners in need of help from God, who sent Jesus to die for sins. Through faith in Jesus' sacrifice, believers are connected to God and can receive his grace, power and help through staying connected to him through religious practices. This allows praying to God the creator rather than to oneself.
The document encourages choosing the New Birth path which involves confessing one's sins and accepting
Icy Decision
The research team's shelter was at risk of breaking apart due to cracking ice and a storm. They lost their boat and were stranded on an ice floe separating from land. Facing possible death, they constructed a makeshift boat from whale holding equipment to escape if the ice broke apart. Their ice floe cracked and their boat floated, but they were still in danger from waves between ice floes. After securing their boat and facing the dark night, one member prayed to God for forgiveness and rescue, finding peace. The next morning the storm broke and a Coast Guard helicopter rescued them.

Secrets Revealed
The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by a shepherd boy in caves near the Dead Sea and contained Hebrew texts on clay jars that had been preserved for centuries in the dry climate. When studied by ancient Hebrew scholars, the scrolls were found to contain nearly identical copies of the books of the Old Testament, except for Esther, confirming the careful transcription of the biblical texts by Hebrew scribes over two thousand years ago. Analysis of the Dead Sea Scrolls by impartial scholars generally confirms their consistency with the Old Testament.

What Are The Keys To Destiny?
1) The order and placement of the Israelite tribes as they marched into the Promised Land reveals keys to reaching destiny. For example, the tribe of Levi, meaning "connect", was placed at the center to be protected, signifying the importance of connections to God.
2) The tribe of Naphtali, meaning "warfare", was placed at the rear, showing that prayer covering is critical when taking new territory to avoid high costs.
3) The meanings behind the tribes' names and their gemstones provide insight into keys like praise, worship, joy, and reconnecting with God through rest in order to stay strong in faith and receive new vision.
Craig Dressler's Biograpy
After becoming a Christian I taught both overseas and in Christian institutions in the U.S. You might be surprised by what you will find in the biography.
Christian Teen Novel Excerpt
The back cover reads: "The invasion of Hafren has begun. Two youths are thrown into the fray attempting to thwart the invasion of their homeland."
One witch who happened to read this fantasy was not happy with it because of the Christian worldview.
Deliverance
God has provided a way to overcome problems and this short article gives biblical answers on how to gain freedom in Christ.
The West's Decline
Why is the West(the U.S., Canada and Europe) in such dire straights? This article succinctly answers that question.
Missions' Websites
This document lists 3 websites recently created to promote the work of unreached peoples' missions (UPM). The websites are a Yahoo group called "christianmissions", a webs.com site at "christianmissions.webs.com", and a live.com group at "christianmissionsgroups.live.com". The document was written by Craig Dressler, Director of UPM.
Teaching Positions Abound
While many teachers in the U.S. struggle to find a job, many overseas employers are clamoring for teachers.
Icy Decision
A research team studying narwhals became stranded on an ice floe when a storm caused the ice to break apart, separating them from land. Faced with the possibility of death by hypothermia or drowning, they constructed a makeshift boat out of a whale holder to try to survive. After praying to God for the first time, one of the researchers found peace during the dangerous night as they waited for rescue. The next morning, the storm broke and they were spotted by a Coast Guard helicopter.
A Wheel Within A Wheel
Craig Dressler teaches English in Tokyo as a "tentmaker" while also sharing his Christian faith covertly with his coworkers and students. He is able to financially support missionary work through the wages from his teaching job. Additionally, he shares his faith and distributes Christian materials through his local church's Japanese and English services, by sending materials to universities in China and the Middle East, and by evangelizing Iranians in Japan. He believes Christians can exponentially spread the gospel through having dual purposes in life that serve as "wheels within wheels".
Redig The Old Wells
Isaac redug the wells of his forefathers in the Old Testament, facing opposition but persevering to find blessings. Reconnecting to the positive aspects of history and Christian heritage through holidays can spiritually revive lives, just as redigging old wells brought blessings to Isaac and early settlers by providing necessary water or "spiritual food".
Clean Media
A father struggled to convince his children not to watch certain TV shows and movies their friends were watching. To teach them an object lesson, he baked brownies but told the kids he had added dog poop as a secret ingredient. When the children no longer wanted the brownies, the father compared inappropriate media to the brownies, showing how they contain harmful elements. After that, the children accepted it when he said no to media requests.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
The Significance of the Locust Army in Revelation 9

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.

chakra yoga - kundalini yoga - awakening
chakra yoga
Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

Buddha or Jesus
- 1. Buddha or Jesus? In our pluralistic world with our smorgasbord of religious offerings Buddha's life and teaching seems to be quite popular. Therefore, let's make a comparison between Buddha and Jesus. Anyone who has studied Buddha's life knows that he abandoned his wife and children to find "enlightenment". For years he was an absentee husband and father. In our father-deficit society where the vast majority of men in prisons grew up in fatherless homes do we need an example of familial dysfunction paraded before us? I think not. Jesus' life is quite the opposite. When he died on the cross for our sins, he left no wife and children behind. His mother was the one person who might have been very negatively impacted by his death. However, even though he had younger stepbrothers who could care for his mother, some of his last words on the cross clearly gave that responsibility to the Apostle John. During the two years I taught in Japan most of my students were Buddhists. In addition, it became quite clear over time how the Buddhist beliefs played out in Japanese society. Now, don't get me wrong, the Japanese are some of the hardest workers you will find anywhere and the best behaved students I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. I'm not addressing the Japanese people except where Buddhism impacts them or anyone else for that matter. Despair, which is tied to Buddhism, is endemic in Japan. That results in extremely high rates of alcoholism and one of the highest suicide rates in the world. One person even committed suicide from the top of the building where I was teaching. One of my own students made a succinct statement: "Buddhism is a religion of death and Christianity a religion of life." Jesus conquered the grave and rose from the dead. Anyone who has
- 2. spent any time reading the New Testament knows that it is infused with hope for the hurting. Jesus' words that he would never leave nor forsake us can comfort anyone, hurting or otherwise who has put their trust in him.
