A. I shall explain the basic fundamental of jnana yoga... the straight path to God Almighty! In Hinduism we have karma yoga, Bhakti yoga and finally jnana yoga. Every human being until reaching the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) in the initial stages indulges in karma yoga and Bhakti yoga! It is only through the process of karma yoga... life moves ahead in the cosmic system. It is inevitable! For each and every individual human being... there is no escape from karma yoga! The path of Bhakti yoga... is the path of rituals. Singing praise of God almighty... engaging in bhajans, kirtans... is indulging on the path of Bhakti yoga! To reach God Almighty... to reach the stage of enlightenment... traveling the path of jnana yoga is… [cont.]

Hindus~How can a person become Jnani?
Q. Ramana Maharshi said always to enquire "Who am I?". Is it all one has to do to become a Jnani? Is Jnana a Flash of revelation or a long process of continuous enquiry? Yes, Shanky answer is convincing for me.
Asked by The Ranger - Sun Mar 2 00:11:19 2008 - - 4 Answers - 2 Comments

A. Its continuous and ongoing process in which one is always alert with razor-sharp awareness (inquiry mode), which helps us to understand what we are with the help of process of elimination. When it happens it happens in a flash. It's like each strike of hammer, makes the rock progressively weak and finally it suddenly, in a flash, breaks off.

Why do Buddhists reject Santa when Buddha himself believed in Santa's powers?
Q. Buddhist literature says it's possible for skilled meditators to: 1. Fly through the air and walk through walls (Raddi-saksatkriya). 2. Read other people's minds (Paracitta-jnana). 3. Instantly view any material thing anywhere (Divyacaksus) Taking the above into account, shouldn't the concept of Santa make sense to Buddhists? Maybe Santa's just a really good meditator. Nirvana- Buddha never mentioned Santa. But Santa possesses all of the powers Buddha said are real. no2...- I didn't say people can fly and walk through walls- Buddha did. If anyone's p**sed off, it shouldn't be against me for pointing out this fairytale land Buddha considered reality. Chica- maybe Santa levitates and brings the reindeers with him.
