Alien Trespass

IMDB rating: 7.50 Plot: The story begins in 1957 in the star-filled skies above California’s Mojave Desert. It is a special night for noted astronomer Ted Lewis, who is preparing a special dinner for his beautiful, adoring wife Lana to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In another part of town, Tammy, a waitress at small local diner with big plans for the future, looks out her window and is excited to see a shooting star, which she takes as a good sign for her dreams. But, what Dr. Lewis and Tammy assume is a shooting star, is really an alien spaceship. The fiery ball hurtles toward earth and crash-lands on a butte in the desert. The only witnesses are teens Dick and Penny who are necking in a nearby lover’s lane. A tall, metallic alien named Urp emerges from the craft unharmed, alarmed to discover that the monstrous Ghota, who was also on board, has escaped. The menacing one-eyed creature’s unquenchable appetite could mean the end of civilization as we know it. Urp is the only one who knows how to stop the hideous extra-terrestrial, but to do so he has to take over the body of Dr. Lewis and enlist the aid of Tammy, the only human in town willing to believe and trust in his mission. The local police - including Chief Dawson and Officer Vern - are confirmed skeptics and offer little help. Together, Urp and Tammy must hunt down the Ghota and neutralize it before it consumes all the local inhabitants and uses the human fuel to multiply and conquer the world! |

Hindus: Why do you repeat all Faiths are true?
When no religion is ready to accept that any other religion save theirs is the ONLY TRUE faith, what purpose does it serve in your repeating that all roads (spiritual pursuits) lead to Rome (same one God)?
Even amidst your own denominations, there are inflexible ones that claim that only their chosen deity is the supreme. In that case, how do you expect other Faiths that believe in separate religious histories, incidents, prophesies and rituals to ever accept the unity of Purpose with other faiths?
Rather would it not be useful to confine the discussions to our own practices, to clarify the critical messages, relating to our own beliefs among our religious fraternity - without any trespass into other beliefs of alien faiths?
Mx thanks. But there are excellently argued readable books from atheism to pantheism. As you said, it is the self enquiry rather than any ready made theory - however well argued and apparently rational - that would be best for the earnest seeker. For, if one reads half a dozen books by eminent people on diverse theories, each is likely to look logical and practical, as we start looking at things from the author’s stand point. But Hinduism provides all the possible ways to reacch Godhood - as in the Bhagavad Gits, where different options with the merits and problems with each is given. The earnest ones would find the one best for their temperament, by free access to multiple options, rather than going to single theory.. that could prove indoctrinating! Sraddaavaan labathe gnaanam - the sincere one finds the true knowledge (Gita)
Hi crewsaid, nice one. But I think it is best to call the eastern religions as Philosophical rather than Vedanthic, because the Faiths like Budhism and Jainism do not accept the Brahman concept of Sanathana Dharma (Vedas), that is why they are called as Atheist Faiths (faiths not accepting the Vedas are called so in our traditional parlance) But their philosophies are not totally irrelevent as theories like "desires as root cause of suffering" are also found in the Vedas / B Gita, etc. Only thing is they did not go beyond the ethical bases, in their spiritual explorations (Adi sankara’s commentary on these religions).
Ranger, Krishna indeed said that whatever path the people followed, they were still going to the same (divine) destination - mama varthma anuvarthanthe manushyaha (Gita 4:11)
hello smily, your idea is well taken. I precisely want the hindu pals to realize that we don’t need the stamp of approval of our all comprehensive spiritual philosophies from other Faiths, which we treat on par with our own religion. But the tendency to flash our greatness - often looked as primitive / false one by western faiths - only invites bitter comments from those sections. So my sugggestion is to restrict our discussions within our own fold - addressed to Hindus only - asking, clarifying things etc and not appear to be propagandist.
Jesus or should i say krishna
god knows what kind of people have u come across……..but one thing i know is that yes all religions are true.as they teach not to lie.to love all all religions are against war and brutal behaviour.i believe that iam the best , still iam trying to becom a better human being
people who are weak and have inferiority complex try and hide there weakneses by shouting at others by questioning others….asthey themselves don,t know what they are..so forgetabout those who are selfcentered and look up to those who take everyone at par. god bless u

Lord Buddha said don’t believe in anything until you experience it or u agree to it by using your common sense and knowledge
DO NOT WORRY WHAT Hindus say or what others say
the path to truth is inside you
do not believe in concepts blindly search for truth inside
now the question arises how to search for truth inside
for this if you are really eager and you are really interested read this book

That is the greatness of Hinduism, it also reflects the narrow minded approach of abrahmic faiths that only there way is good or can lead to the path of salvation. I just pity that thought

There are two major branches of religion, one is the Abrahaimic religion branch that includes Judaism, Christianity and Islam and the other is Vedantic religion that includes Hinduism, Jainism Buddhism, Zen, Shinto, Sikhism et al. The Sanatan Dharm (eternal religion) that sprang from Vedanta is an open religion and assilmilates the entire humanity in its fold. It understands and propogates the theory of Karma and Liberation and is probably closest to the divine truth. Being a mature religion and closest to truth, Hinduism propogates the truth of one divine power and one soul for the entire humanity. Today the karmic theory and theory of reincarnation have been scientifically proved by the West, although we are still awaiting the theories of heaven and hell and judgement day to be proven. The problem with Hinduism is that it happens to know the truth and when it propogates truth all other religions feel insecure because Hinduism does not really subscribe to their views and is rather contrary to Abrahaimic religious beliefs. And look how Christianity and Islam although sharing the same original source are at each others throats, how they are humiliating Jesus and Mohammad in the name of religion. Hindus too are not innocent of ‘ignorance’ and are bringing a bad name to Vedantic philosophy on which the Hindu religion is based. It seems the time for Kalki Avataar has arrived for a cleansing operation on earth.

You are right for the maximum part.
No mind is similar even though the substratum of every mind works similarly, as Science says every brain although different is nothing but millions of neurons forming a neural network. But Indians see mind and brain as different entities, and Indians are more concerned with Mind than with brain.
As no mind is similar, so no path can be accepted as Universal. This is how the mind works. Everyone has different requirement for religion, everyone needs something different from others.
An example: "When I asked some users here "What do you want to achieve Union in god or Serving God"" Some users said that they don’t need union with god, but want to serve him with love and that is their Moksha. While some others said that they wanted to attain their natural state of Brahman.
See even here, many people have different opinion, so what about billions of people?
Krishna says "All faiths are true", I know that every faith tries to purify mind, and then make it concentrated on particular aspect or God, and this concentration of mind on any entity results in Moksha or Liberation.
Its all about mind.
