Indian philosophy is truly scientific in its approach. No other ancient philosophy gave so much depth in answering fundamental question like who are we?from where we have come?how we can get eternal bliss?what is world ?and so many?vedenta is the best book of philosophy

Well i dont think it has worked out so well, so if results matter i would have to disagree with you!

to each his own I guess

whatever works for one may not work for another

Indian philosophy is a ancient tradition thousands of years old so ya'll have prolly had time to work out the kinks into something that works quite well

I've studied a lot of ancient histories but Indian history is one of my weak areas

I love Indian Philosophy. I hope you can provide me with more examples and share your culture with us.

Mahatma Ghandi has influenced my life in many ways while growing up. I hope his wisdom stays eternal and guides me in understanding more of what he has been teaching us or for those who are interested.

I will check out Vedenta and see what I can find on it here.

Thanks for your wisdom and encouragement Fromheart.

I don't know the "ancient Indian Philosophy", but from what I've read, the Scientology philosophy is about as scientific in it's approach as a philosophy can get. It's just unfortunate that the overwhelming ad hominem attacks on the "religious" aspect of it cause a bias in people the prevent them from actually examining it for what it really is.

I have truly enjoyed and learned from the Indian philosophies...

The Bhagavad Gita is the most beautiful set of scriptures I have ever read, and I have read them all. That is of course my opinion only.
I have enjoyed learning from Vedenta..

I agree. It is truly the greatest wisdom of all humanity.

I wonder if the Indian women feel the same way?

It's been said that Solomon was the wisest man to walk the earth...

One would have to be pretty wise in order to balance the inherent issues which come with having so many wives and children...

The real problems are that we still do not know where we came from, if we can or we can not have eternal bliss, where we are heading and so many, many unanswered questions remain impossible to comprehend such as : if God or Gods created us then who created this God or these Gods.....etc. This is a very complex world of ours and every day we can learn something from our experiences and from others .

Medibtation is the key of happiness and whole of indian philosophy is based on this.there are many ways to find god.knowledge(gyan),bhakti,meditation,niskam karam yoga are few of them.indian spritual knowledge is so vast and useful that many and many peoples are geting benefit from it.india is the only country and hindusim is the only religion which has produced so many enlightened souls again and again due to this rich heritage.at present also we have so many saints who are doing good work.result tells the worthyness of an experiment and good result prove the existence of good theory.by following the indian spritual knoledge so many people have acquired greatness in their life.from ancient india great saint were Adi SHANKARACHARYA(founder of vedantic philosophy),PANTAJLI(writer yogdarshan),BUDDHA,MAHAVIR JAIN,BALMIKI(who wrote ramayana),VED VYAS(writer MAHABHARAT),KALIDAS,RAMANUJAM .in medilevel india we have so many great saint poet like KABIR,TULSIDAS,MEERA,NANAK,RAVIDAS,RAMANAND,CHATNY MAHAPARBHU,GURU GORAKNATH and so many more who got enlightenment in their life and spread peace and harmony in the society.in modern india we have RANKRISHAN PARAMHANS,SWAMI VIVEKNANDA,MAHARSHI RAMAN,MAHESH YOGI,PARAMHANSYOGANANDA,OSHO,SWAMI PARBHUPAD(founder of ISKON),ARUBINDO, MAHATMA GANDHI,and presently working are Shri shri RAVISHANKER G(Founder of art of living),VISHVAMITRA GI(head of Ramsharnam),swami Ramdev(yoga guru)murari bapu.asharam bapu,sai baba,amritanandi ma,and so many more.each one of them has million of followers.while in islam and christanity we do not find so many examples or result.they are closed religion who just thrive on one book.wat i want to say is that unless we do not have an open mind in these matter we can not make a peaceful world.if a religion spread terrorism and hatrd and jahadi of that religion take innocent lives by doing explosion then u can think how deprived are they from true and absolute knowledge of peace,gyan,bhakti,meditation,enlightenment and bliss.here i suggest that UNO should make an open discussion on all major religion of world and take all gud teachings of all religion and should take a step to form a world religion.after forming that religion the text books of that new world religion should be taught in every country.i m dead sure that if we follow this idea we can make a gud world to live in.

I like curry

Do they still have "un-touchables in India???

like Elliot Ness?

Un-touchables in India---Part of the population thought of as less than human---Thus the name.

I agree. I hope in time people will realize that there are some very good spiritual practices that many people should take just to find peace and harmony in their life. The problem is that many have different idealogies of what is peaceful to them. There will always be someone who will not like certain lessons of a certain religion or spiritual practice. With the ever growing population of the world and the many creative minds discovering new ways to find a peaceful mind this grows to be difficult.

What it is worth, I hope that in the future more peace and understanding of various cultures, belief systems, and discoverys can be attained without the resort to violence and hatred.

Peace be with you brother

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
