A Modern Hindu's Perspective: April 2009
http://modernhindu.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A Modern Hindu's Perspective. I'm a modern Hindu, trying to find some middle ground between our modern society and our ancient religious traditions. Thursday, April 23, 2009. It may be that for this reason, we should think of a tiered system. One tier for concepts common to all schools, and the next diverging into branches based on concepts. Not unlike how high school, college, grad school, etc. form a tiered educational system. Links to this post. My sophomore year at Rutgers was when I took sanskrit, a...

A Modern Hindu's Perspective: May 2009

A Modern Hindu's Perspective. I'm a modern Hindu, trying to find some middle ground between our modern society and our ancient religious traditions. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. The Sacrifice of the Senses, and controlling desire. The idea of practical sacrifice is apparent throughout the bhagavad giitaa (especially throughout chapter 4; see verses 23-24, and 26-33 for relevance to this rant/entry). 160;In the SwaamiinaaraayaNa sect. 160;If we don't have the free will to desire and. 160;If, however, we do h...

A Modern Hindu's Perspective: karma, III
http://modernhindu.blogspot.com/2009/04/karma-iii.html
A Modern Hindu's Perspective. I'm a modern Hindu, trying to find some middle ground between our modern society and our ancient religious traditions. Thursday, April 23, 2009. Karma has a lot of interesting subtleties. It's been expanded upon for a long time, but that doesn't mean we can't find modern metaphors for older concepts. Why on earth is this useful to us? Aside from being yet another tool that lets us further analyze and understand our actions, it directly calls into question our motives. Di...

The Technological Monk: March 2009
http://thetechnologicalmonk.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Finding spiritual meaning is tough in this world. With religions seemingly unreliable, science becoming more abstract, and information overload apparent everywhere, I hope to find some middle ground. Sunday, March 15, 2009. Today, I'm going to elaborate on something I've discussed before: why it's important to take time to slow down. अथ योगानुशासनम् १.

The Technological Monk: Funniest Buddhism joke ever.
http://thetechnologicalmonk.blogspot.com/2009/07/funniest-buddhism-joke-ever.html
Finding spiritual meaning is tough in this world. With religions seemingly unreliable, science becoming more abstract, and information overload apparent everywhere, I hope to find some middle ground. Friday, July 17, 2009. Funniest Buddhism joke ever. I think I just found the funniest Buddhism joke ever. It's pretty dark, but if you're Buddhist, you should be used to at least a little bit of nihilism. And, you probably shouldn't take offense to it. =P. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cartoons - #769.

The Technological Monk: February 2009
http://thetechnologicalmonk.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Finding spiritual meaning is tough in this world. With religions seemingly unreliable, science becoming more abstract, and information overload apparent everywhere, I hope to find some middle ground. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Making up for lost time. Sorry folks. First and foremost, my list of excuses. January was hard for me to draw inspiration from. Amongst friends who were home fanning out once again, I found January to be very spiritual (and also religious) to me. Don't lose me, alright? Image: Tak...

The Technological Monk: Suspension of disbelief
http://thetechnologicalmonk.blogspot.com/2009/10/suspension-of-disbelief.html
Finding spiritual meaning is tough in this world. With religions seemingly unreliable, science becoming more abstract, and information overload apparent everywhere, I hope to find some middle ground. Thursday, October 8, 2009. Regardless, the times, they are a-changin'! The damage is done, and so now, we can only hope to move forwards. I realize that not every movie or television series can be as accurate and intense as Eureka. But, hey, Lost. Unless, of course, the point is the distraction itself. Obvio...

The Technological Monk: November 2009
http://thetechnologicalmonk.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Finding spiritual meaning is tough in this world. With religions seemingly unreliable, science becoming more abstract, and information overload apparent everywhere, I hope to find some middle ground. Tuesday, November 17, 2009. The Internet and driving. While witnessing a well-warranted and funny episode of road rage today, it suddenly occurred to me how similar surfing on the Internet is to driving. Everyone makes mistakes, right?
