Anonymous asked: I struggle with the concept of the Holy Trinity quite a bit. I'd love to know your views on the subject.

I explain the Trinity in my Religious FAQs. Just scroll down to the question, “Can you explain why Hinduism is compatible with Christianity?” If you have more questions, concerning something I didn’t explain there, or didn’t explain well enough, feel free to ask. 

Namaste. 

If you’re sitting there, thinking about what Jesus’ “Second Coming” is going to be like, doing absolutely nothing to develop yourself spiritually, to know your true Self, to realize the natural unity you eternally share with God, you don’t need to be concerned about a Second Coming of Christ. For you, it won’t happen.

The true Second Coming is the coming of the Inner Christ, the emergence of that inexhaustible Light that guides you, that indescribable Consciousness that enlivens you, that unknowable Bliss that gives you hope and peace. It is the rise of true Godliness within you, because it is awakening of your ego self to its true reality of non-existence, to its subordination to the eternal and ineffable Self, to its everlasting existence in the eternal Divine Nature of the One. 

That Self, arising in you, is the Second Coming of Christ, as Christ is that Self. If you do not work to find it, it will remain lost and Christ, for you, will never return.

Namaste.

givebloodsavelives asked: Wait so you're not a Catholic priest anymore?

I am in the most basic sense of the word, in that I agree with the fundamental Catholic Faith as defined by the earliest declarations of the Church, that is, with regard to the doctrine of the Incarnation and of the Blessed Trinity. However, I will no longer seek to establish myself as a “traditional” Catholic, as such a title is limiting and, in many ways, inaccurate. Further, I will no longer stand with the arrogance of the Church’s declarations concerning supposed “heresies” that, in time, could have developed and changed the Church into something far more beautiful and mystical than it presently is. 

I will still perform the sacraments in their most basic, Biblical forms. I see no need to preserve ritualistic traditions not established by the Lord. If Jesus said, “Baptize like this: in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”, we don’t need an hour-long ceremony with exorcisms and additional prayers. If Jesus said, “Do this in memory of me”, with regard to an intimate meal between friends, that is what the Korban/Eucharist needs to be. 

In this sense, I am returning to the original mission of this blog, to break away from the true heresies and pride of the established Church and teach a more truthful and mystical expression of faith in Christ. 

Namaste. :) 

Anonymous asked: Where does Jesus Christ and Christianity stand on fetishes? Ex. Foot Fetish.

Jesus said nothing about fetishes. Thus, it becomes a moral rather than doctrinal issue. Fetishes experienced between consenting, co-equal adults are fine as long as they are not harmful to the body of one or more people involved (such as flesh-eating, scat-eating, cutting, etc., which can cause physical harm in the form of disease) are perfectly fine. 

Fetishes lacking co-equality or respect, or where consent cannot be given due to emotional or psychological disability, or age, are not morally permissible.

Namaste.  

Anonymous asked: Hi. Do you consider yourself a Christian? If so, what denomination?

I consider myself a Yeshu Bhakta Hindu, or a Hindu devotee of Jesus. I am pre-denominational, as Hindus have been worshipping Jesus since 52 AD, longer than the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, let alone Protestant ones, have existed in their present denominational forms.

Namaste.

Anonymous asked: So, you accept every other wacked out religion, but not the Roman Catholic Church, which was founded by Christ Himself?

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that argument is? I could, likewise, say something like this about your faith:

“So you reject the Hindu Dharma which was founded by God himself and preserved through countless incarnations of that same God?” 

Have a nice day.

Namaste. 

Anonymous asked: What does an upside down cross mean to you?

It represents humility, taking itself after the long-held tradition that, out of humility when brought to his death, Simon Peter was crucified upside down.

Namaste. 

Anonymous asked: THANK YOU! That's what I keep telling to my friends, exactly what you just wrote down. Still, they won't stop bothering me. Their argument is always that by staying at a Catholic church, my relationship with God won't be as deep as it'd be by going to another church. Personally I think that if the deepness of my relationship with God depended on which church I go to, I'd be in deep, deep trouble. :D

Perhaps, their relationship with God would not be so deep and that own personal experience is mistaken by them to be applicable to you as well. Your relationship with God is yours. It is personal. Theirs is personal to them. You cannot tell them to come to Catholicism to know God anymore than they can tell you to leave it. Hopefully, they learn of this soon. :) 

Namaste.
