Can you explain the difference between God and atma according to the Bhagavad-Gita?

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

Priyam = Love.

What do feminists mean when they say they want to ‘normalize’ menstruation and its discussion?

One may ask which of these three views is correct - well each school argues its case in depth and prolixity. The summary and take away information is that Param-ātma and jīvātma are intimately and inseparably related to each other and share three qualities:-

Dvaita Vedānta - (Duality) God and the individual Self are absolutely distinct and separate.

Asti = being

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

Advaita Vedānta - (Non-duality) God (Paramātma) and the individual Self (jīvātma) are one and the same = identical.

Visiṣṭhādvaita Vedānta - (Qualified non-duality) They are one but ontologically distinct, like a flower and its smell or like a picture and its pixels.

So these verses affirm the identity of God and the Individual Self and there are three views according to the three major schools of Vedānta.

Is there a musician who has publicly stated that they do not want their music played by the Trump campaign or at a Trump rally? If so, who and why?
