As
a good Hindu. I have always believed that our scriptures were the best, never mind
I never read them, that were simply my shortcoming. Now having read Gita, I
want to warn my colleagues against reading this trash in strongest terms.

From
Gita press Gorakhpur?
Let
Krishna speak in his own words. Like Arya samaj, it is quite fair to raise
questions that raise the possibility of ridiculasness in answering by making
offensive comments. There is the 1st amemdment you know.
Let
Krishna speak in his own words. Would you trust a man who speaks like
interpretation of him? Do you have the time to listen to a drivel
interpretation? Apart from stupidity then, it has stupid conversions even now,
conversions mine, but made visible for others to criticize with the warning
that criticisms would be criticized too.
All
refer to (Bhagavad-Gita, Gita press, Gorakhpur)

(Krishna)
Either slain in battle you will attain heaven, or gaining victory you will
enjoy sovereignty of the earth; therefore, arise, Arjun, determined to fight.
My questions
following my divorce: you got to love your kid you know.
1)
What good is heaven to me when the only winners of our battle will be VAMPIRE
lawyers of dampshire, and VAMPIRE government servants of Massivenuts?
2)
Now that I am emerging from hell on this earth following depakote therapy, why
should my earlier family also participate in my accomplishments? Why should I
not limit the damage to the VAMPIRES?
Even
if you can determine my views on issues I raised, and don't agree with me, here
are my suggestion when faced with dilemma of my proportions. They happen to too
many of us.
1)
Never trust any one solely, no matter how wise o seems. Always use a second
opinion, second guessing, etc. Reject outright ANY one who thinks that your
questions are a waste of o's time if second opinion.
2)
Issues I raise are religious issues, that have had to be addressed by pandits
and pastors. They are the specialized experts. Do not limit yourself to just
your historical-cultural upbringing. In may case, it has meant 6 opinions - 2
pandits, 2 pastors, 2 social workers.
3)
Situation is even more confusing with multitude of opinions, each consistent
and yet different. Even a fair majority based composition would result in a
very stupid policy. And yet, I have a better picture of what I want to do
because there have been raised and addressed newer points I had not considered,
and reasons for discarding those I had
chosen to discard without really understanding why.
4)
I stopped at 6 from time limitation reasons. I suggest 2 - 10. 2 for minimality
reasons. 10 since I fail to see what extra marginal benefit one can get. Within
these numbers, group them in units of at least 2. So reasonable alternatives
are (3rd for me)
2+a
2+a 2+b
2+a 2+b 2+c
2+a 2+b 2+c 2+d
2+a 2+b 2+c 2+d 2+e
