He abstained from fighting in the Mahabharata war and took liberation. I think Buddha was added to Hinduism with the rise of Buddhism in India.<BR/><BR/>The relation of Buddhism and Hinduism(Sanatan Dharma originally) is that of Judaism and Christianity<BR/><BR/>However, the 10 number is limited to just the Mahavataras. Some other schools in Hinduism give the number as 25. But I have a different opinion.<BR/><BR/>Bhagavad Gita, 4.7<BR/><BR/>Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself. <BR/><BR/>So it is not necessary that the coming down of VIshnu in a human form be predicted or the number. He could be somewhere in the world saving Africans, Iraqis or Europeans as a leader, as a fugitive or anything else. Or maybe even as Christ and MosesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11347045.post-1147487958256581282006-05-12T19:39:00.000-07:002006-05-12T19:39:00.000-07:00Ahh yes the 40 day desert time period.

Plenty of time for yoga a meditation :-)<BR/><BR/>Open Christianity seems to be a step in an inclusive direction.<BR/><BR/>Tom- thanks for the post on Gopi Krishna. I find the revised theory of evolution very interesting.

Although it has a contemplative tradition at least as old as its dogmatic traditions (what do they think Jesus was doing in the desert forty days...), it just hasn't been emphasized in the public mind over the centuries.<BR/><BR/>Today the scene strikes me as very weird and mixed. You have the dogmatists growing more and more dogmatic; at the same time, you have a smaller number of Christians looking at non dogmatic approaches. (For example, if you google Open Christianity.)Dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456843848141315800noreply@blogger.com
