Showing results for "Thirteen" in Religion & Spirituality

"If you won't get her vision, who will?" With these words from Bhairavi Ma echoing in his heart, a young monk who had renounced a multimillion-dollar business empire retreated into the Himalayas. For thirteen months, he engaged in intense meditation, seeking the finest reward there is: self-realization. But what truly unfolded in those serene yet desolate mountains? Faced with biting cold, prowling wild animals, crippling hunger and overwhelming isolation, Om Swami tested the limits of his mind and body.

Upanishads are mankind's oldest works of philosophy, predating the earliest Greek philosophy. They are the concluding part of the Vedas, the ancient Indian sacred literature, and mark the culmination of a tradition of speculative thought first expressed in the Rig-Veda more than 4,000 years ago. Remarkable for their meditative depth, spirit of doubt and intellectual honesty, the Upanishads are concerned with the knowledge of the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, and man's relationship with it.

The march to the Promised Land takes 40 years. But the Israelites do not wander aimlessly in the wilderness during that time. (Recall the old explanation that Moses, like most men, was too stubborn to stop and ask for directions!) Refused passage through Edom on the King’s Highway, Moses diverts northwest to Kadesh Barnea, a large oasis, where the Israelites spend nearly 37 of the 40 years, finally entering the Promised Land through Moab, by a remote and very dangerous desert route.

As David’s star rises, Saul becomes ever more paranoid, sinking into a morass of delusion and despair, finally ordering David’s assassination. Informed of Saul’s plan, David runs, becoming a wanted felon and an outlaw. For ten years David works as a mercenary for Israel’s enemies, the Philistines, gathering around him a band of very tough characters that becomes his inner circle. The action culminates at Mt. Gilboa, where Saul and his sons are killed and the Philistines thunderously defeat Israel.

Jewish Bibles classify Daniel among the “Writings,” not the “Prophets”; Christian Bibles elevate Daniel to the position of a major prophet. Daniel is taken captive to Babylon after its first attack on Jerusalem in 605 B.C. Daniel’s book is set in Babylon and spans the years 605 – 539 B.C.

Forgiveness of sin does not cancel the consequences of sin. And in 2 Samuel 12 the consequences envelop David. David’s eldest son and heir to the throne, Amnon, rapes his half-sister, Tamar. Absalom, Tamar’s brother and David’s favorite son, murders Amnon in revenge, and then Absalom flees into exile.

In Ezra 7, we jump ahead to Ezra’s arrival in Jerusalem, August 4, 458 B.C. Meanwhile, Nehemiah, an official in the court of the Persian king, Artaxerxes (465-424 B.C.), returns to Jerusalem shortly after Passover 445 B.C. Working together, Ezra the priest and Nehemiah the layman rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and much of the city itself.

One of the most famous chapters of the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13. It is nicknamed "the love chapter" and like the word "love" itself, this passage is often misunderstood or misused.

This is a sermon series preached at Lebanon Bible Fellowship Church in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, USA.

The Mark Of the Beast

The Rambam, in his commentary on the Mishnayos (end of Maseches Brachos), writes: “More precious to me than all the other topics, is to teach about ikrei daas v’emunah, the fundamentals of Judaism andemunah!” The Rambam, our great teacher, whose teachings encompassthe entire Torah, is telling us that the subject most important for him to disseminate is ikrei daas v’emunah. In fact, the Rambam is the one who organized and delineated the famous thirteen principles of emunah in Perek Chelek in Maseches Sanhedrin. Later on, they were made popular As heard from Rav Yisrael Ginsburg, shlita,...

1 Corinthians 13 is often called the "love chapter" for its detailed description of love as patient, kind, and enduring. The passage argues that while spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues or prophecy are valuable, they are temporary and will cease. In contrast, love is eternal and greater than other virtues like faith and hope, making it the most important of all. Father Reid Hensarling takes us line by line through these beautiful scriptures. Episodes are uploaded weekly.

The essence of all scriptures, and spiritual discourses is one and the same and that is to get the ‘awareness and the knowledge of Self’. The ‘main Self’ is shuddha (verily pure), but one has the wrong belief of “who am I”? This wrong belief of 'I am Chandu' (reader should use his name) has given rise to the prakruti (nature and characteristics of a person). There are only two things in the world, non-living (jadd) and living (chetan).
