What if I do it in the morning before eating meat in the day?

And what if I chant it daily for 21 days while eating non-veg, is it too bad, like what would be the consequences it wouldn't work?

I really need it I'm going through a hard time BUT I LIVE WITH MY PARENTS AND THEY CONTROL ME if I go veg they will criticise me and they are Christians so I can't even explain why I would do it because it would create disarmony and they would argue with me and I don't want to fight.

Please I need some advice!

ALGUÉM TIRA A DESGRAÇA DESSA MÚSICA DA MINHA CABEÇA EU NÃO AGUENTO MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIS

To be a Buddhist we need to believe in ALL of the teachings from the Buddha?

But which exactly are those teachings, can someone list them? ALL of them.

I know there is the Four Noble Truths / the Noble Eightfold Path / Bodhicitta / Compassion / Emptiness / Renunciation.

But does the Philosophy things also applies as Buddha teachings, like the ideas of Interdependence, Anatta, Karma and Reincarnation? If those do apply as Buddha teachings, can someone be a Buddhist but believing in them like the Hindus does?

For example: Would it be contradictory if a Vajrayana practitioner, instead of believing in Annata(no self / Buddhist view) believes in the Atman(true self / Hindu view)?

If I go and start chanting many naam japa, this means just the name of each god 108x, and each day I try a different God/Goddess, until I feel I connect with one of them, is this good?

I mean, if I chant one God's name 108x and feel nothing probably he or she isn't my Ishta Devata, but if I chant the name of one god and feel strong devotion and maybe even start crying(as some people mentioned) this can give an idea of who is my Ishta Devta.

Yes I know it won't be 100% sure but I mean, it's more likely to be a deity I feel devotion than a deity that I just feel nothing.

The version I knew was to chant only "Ram" and it was enough, now I saw someone mentioning to chant "Shri Ram" and now I'm lost.

Is there any difference?

I know this may seem a weird question but I can explain:

I have "normal" Whatsapp with my main number and today I added a new number on my phone.

Then I downloaded Whatsapp Business to use this second number to "job related stuff".

But the thing is that something weird happened, people don't seem to answer that much as when I used my main number on the "normal" whatsapp.

Can people identify somehow that I have two numbers and think that my business whatsapp number is a scam or fake?

Yeserday I was doing some malas of "Durga, Durga, Durga..." Nama Japa, and then I felt that I wanted to do some Nama Japa for Rama, then I did one mala at the end of "Ram, Ram, Ram..."

Is this good?

I won't lie, I felt scared at the end because I thought maybe I should've sticked to only one Nama.

1- I want to start simple Naam japa of her, but how do I pronounce ir correctly?

Is it "Durgá"? With emphasis on the last "a"?

Short "u" vowel or alongated? Duurgá or Durgá?

2- What should I visualize, is there any picture of her good to keep in mind's eye while chanting?

3- Not sure if common Mantra Japa rules applies for Naam Japa so I will ask> Naam japa can be only done out loud or I can also whisper and mental chant?

Has any of you practiced it?

I can't practice outside nor in the sun, I can only practice inside my bedroom early in the morning, like 5 am.

I would like to know how much of the benefits of the practice I lose by not practicing outside facing the sun?

I also asked somewhere else and a guy told me that to practice this system indoors is a complete waste of time.

What are your thoughts?

Hello I'm a beginner and I would like to know if Swami Rama talks about Sri Vidya are authentic and good to watch for more knowledge. Thanks.

I need help I'm going through some injustices, I did nothing wrong but this person lied to officials and they kicked me out from a place I DID NOTHING WRONG!

Which deity to worship in this scenario or what can I do??????

PS: I DON'T want to hurt this person, I want a deity I can worship to bring justice to show I did nothing wrong, I just want help to prove my point. I will need to talk to officials so I hope there is something which can help me in this injustice.

And it needs to be cheap please, I can't find good sources

The only difference is that a Buddhist sadhana we take refuge in the Buddha at the start, not sure if this conflicts with other Hindu views

I'm waiting for it for a loooong time, in the past months there was like 8 Green Tara empowerments, 5 White Tara empowerments but 0 Red Tara. omg why is that??

I was reading another post about her and people in the comments said that when Kali enters she never leaves.

Sincere question: How to know this has happened, are there any signs to look for in our daily lives?

Can it happen and leave someone without any obvious clues?

Some years ago I chanted Kali's bija "Kleem". It was at maximum. 1.500 times, 108x daily. I didn't do much.

But at the same time my life kinda shifted, friends moved away, I stopped my graduation and it seems my life stopped after that.

Not sure if just a coincidence or related to this mantra.

But I was reading that post and it reminded me of my life situation.

EDIT: I'm not mad at her if this eventually happened, I'm just questioning, it's done now. I ask because IF this happened, maybe there should be a way I can navigate things better from now on. Recently I started daily "namah" mantras for Ganesh, Shiva and Chandi.

All that matters is our bhakti to them or if we try to be the best person possible, not kill or harm other beings, etc... Are we more rewarded or not? Do the Gods care about this?

I've seen so many bad people having all kinds of siddhis from mantra practice and this question came to my mind

I can find so much images of them on google, is there one more accurate for "namah" mantras practice? Like the deities holding objects in hand and many hands, etc..
