Sexual spirituality depicted on the Khajuraho Temple, India 2007-04-17 16:13:00 "Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul."Oscar WildeSex magick means using your sexuality in order to work magick. This technique is not new nor outrageous; although usually kept secret many esoteric systems use sexuality for spiritual and magical aims. Examples of such traditions are witchcraft, shamanism, alchemy, Buddhist and Hinduist tantra and ancient Egyptian religion. A probably more known form of sex magick is the ceremonial sexual union of man and woman on the land to ensure a good crop. Their fertility act should encourage the land to deliver a rich harvest. Western sex magick has its roots in Hebrew kabbalah and is spread further through several occult doctrines like the knights Templar and the free masons. Nowadays sex magick is a beautiful way of giving sex back its rightful place of sacred sexuality. It is a firm invitation to leave the trail of the sneaky, hidden-in-the-dark and 'sinful' sex most of us have grown up w Read more:Sexual

lord krishna's place of birth..Mathura. 2007-04-17 15:29:00 Krishna Janma Bhoomi Mandir, MathuraJanmashtamiMathura, the birth
city of Bhagwan Krishna is situated on the banks of river Yamuna and is approximately 145 kms from the capital city Delhi. The town is renowned for being host to the most revered temple of Shri Krishna-the famous Krishna Janma Bhoomi Mandir. The temple is the place where lord is said to have been born thousands of years ago. Along with neighboring towns Govardhan, Nandgaon and Vrindavan, the area is a major pilgrimage site for Hindus.According to historians, the prison cell,popularly known as 'Garbha Griha', in the temple premise is the exact place where lord Krishna was born. The stone walled cell is reminiscent of the cruelty of King Kansa. Many statues and sculptures of the bygone era were found on excavating the site. The prison cell was gradually turned into the present beautiful temple. Lakhs of devotees throng the temple during Janmashtami. The festivities and celebrations during the festival is famous all over
lord krishna's date of birth.. 2007-04-17 14:59:00 Introduction: With some deft computer astrology, mythic Krishna gets a date of birth
, and some planetary influence Even gods come to earth with their destinies chalked out for them. So claims astrology, at any rate. So when Arun K. Bansal, the father of computer astrology in India, says that Hindu god Krishna was born on July 21, 3228 BC, it feels momentous somehow. The date essentially transforms Krishna in our minds: from a mythological figure of mystery, even if a much-loved one, into well a flesh and blood entity. You can almost see him gurgling in Yashoda's lap as Rishi Garg performs his naming ceremony in a cow shed more than 50 centuries ago. But backtracking into the past can be a sloppy misadventure if you don't get your calculations right. So Bansal rests his claims on two of his software packages-the Leo Gold and the Palm computer programmes. They can simulate any planetary configuration that has occurred or could occur in time. All they need is a date. And July 21, 32
shirdi sai baba... 2007-04-17 13:53:00 About Baba: The birth and parentage of Sai Baba are wrapped in mystery. Many authors and scholars conclude from various proofs that Baba was born in 1838 in a Brahmin family at village Pathri in District Parabhani, Maharastra State,India. The Brahmin parents handed over the tender child to the care of a fakir who in turn passed on the young child to a saintly person namely Gopal Rao Deshmukh--an ardent worshipper of Lord Venkateswara. Baba used to refer to him as his Guru "Venkusa." It is also stated that Baba practiced penance at the tomb of his Guru in the cellar under the "Neem" tree at Shirdi.SAI Baba first came to Shirdi about the year 1854 and lived there for three years. He disappeared from there for sometime and returned to Shirdi with a marriage party in 1858 and lived there for sixty years till his Mahasamadhi in 1918. He lived a simple life in a dilapidated mosque. He never accumulated wealth. He advocated faith in God and tolerance towards all as the basic tenets for r
Abraham-founder of jewish nation 2007-04-16 21:29:00 In the Old Testament, the founder
of the Jewish nation
and one of the Jewish patriarchs. In his early life he was called Abram. God promised him heirs and land for his people in Canaan (Israel), renamed him Abraham
, and tested his faith by a command (later retracted) to sacrifice his son Isaac.Still childless at the age of 76, Abraham subsequently had a son (Ishmael) with his wife's maidservant Hagar, and then, at the age of 100, a son (Isaac) with his wife Sarah. When Abraham was 99, God made a covenant with him, saying that he would be the father of many nations, and that male circumcision would be a sign of that covenant (Genesis 17:1–14). This, and the promise of land in Canaan, was fulfilled when the descendants of Abraham's grandson Jacob were led out of Egypt by Moses.Abraham was born in Ur, Mesopotamia. With his father Terah, wife Sarah, and nephew Lot, he migrated to Haran, northern Mesopotamia, and then to Canaan, where he received God's promise of land. After visiting E
Mahavira Jayanthi 2007-04-16 21:17:00 Mahavira Jayanthi is the birth anniversary of Mahavira, the founder of Jainism. This is one of the main Jain festivals celebrated by the Jains in India. According to the Digambar school of Jainism, Lord Mahavira was born in the year 615 BC, but the Swetambaras believe the year to be 599 BC. Nevertheless, both the sects agree that he was the son of Siddhartha and Trisala.According to the legend, he was born to Devananda, wife of a Brahmin named Rishabhdeva. The gods, deftly, transferred the embryo to the womb of Trisala. It is said that the expectant mother had sixteen auspicious dreams before the child was born (14 according to the Swetambaras). The astrologers predicted that the child would either be an emperor or a Teerthankar.This religious event is largely observed by the Jains, by visiting sacred sites and worshipping the Teerthankars. The event holds special significance in Gujarat and Rajasthan, due to the ancient shrines at Girnar and Palitana in Gujarat. Mahavir Jayanti is als

This is where jesus was born.. 2007-04-16 19:02:00 Birth PlaceAccording to tradition, Mary gave birth to Jesus at the place of where the star is located on the floor. The tradition that the birth was in a cave is one of the oldest Christian traditions. Justin Martyr mentions it in the mid-2nd century, as does the Protoevangelium of James (also 2nd c.). Origen notes that the cave of Jesus' birth was pointed out in his day and no doubt this was the same place where the Byzantine church was erected.
Buddha'sEnlightenment at Bodh Gaya 2007-04-16 18:43:00 Seat of Enlightenment: The Diamond Throne, Vajrasana. "Bodh Gaya is the place where Gautama Buddha
attained unsurpassed, supreme Enlightenment. It is a place which should be visited or seen by a person of devotion and which would cause awareness and apprehension of the nature of impermanence".Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha-to-be, had been dwelling on the banks of the Nairanjana River with five ascetic followers for six years practicing austerities. Realising that austerities could not lead to realisation he abandoned them. His five ascetic companions disgusted at his seeming failure, deserted him and left for Sarnath.He then moved towards the village of Senani where he was offered rice milk by a Brahmin girl, Sujata. Accepting from a grass-cutter a gift of kusa grass for a mat, the Bodhisattva took a seat under a pipal tree facing east. Here he resolved not to rise again until enlightenment was attained."Here on this seat my body may shrivel up, my skin, my bones, my flesh may dissolve
Buddha's first sermon at Deer Park 2007-04-16 18:34:00 The Deer Park where Buddha
gave his first sermon. The Buddha used to say that the wealth we accumulate during our lives is not really our wealth, thus we have to leave it behind when we commence our eternal journey. A person's real wealth are his acts of charity and service to others which are cherished by the beneficiaries even after the person is no more. Thus even after a bodily death, such a person remains alive in the memories of others.

Mahatma Gandhi 2007-04-16 17:39:00 MahatmaGandhi
(Indian: 1869-1948) That which distinguishes man from all other animals is his capacity to be nonviolent. True humility, therefore, requires us to dedicate ourselves to the service of all living creatures. Civility does not here mean mere outward gentleness of speech cultivated for the occasion, but an in-born gentleness and desire to do the opponent good. It is our actions which count. Thoughts, however good in themselves, are like false pearls unless they are translated into action. Formerly, men worked in the open air only so much as they liked. Now thousands of workmen meet together and for the sake of maintenance work in factories or mines. Their condition is worse than that of beasts. They are obliged to work, at the risk of their lives, at most dangerous occupations, for the sake of millionaires. Formerly, men were made slaves under physical compulsion. Now they are enslaved by the temptation o Read more:Mahatma Gandhi
