Hindusim...religion

[Guest guest]

The gods of hindusim have succesfully created

enough confusion in the minds of all that come across

it.Even more succesfully they have created enough

conflicts amongst the hindus themselves.<br>There is a

story of an aethiest who preached throughout his life

that neither god nor soul existed, praying at the last

moment of his life thus: O 'god, if there is a god, save

my soul, if there is one!!. It may look odd , this

story, but it reveals the human need ( Psychological

need) necesity for gods.<br><br>In terms of hindusim ,

the concept of God in hindusim is such that the

scriptures does not depend on one ( single) scripture. The

point being, the entire body of its philosophical

literature accepts the Upanishads and Bhagavad gita!. The

concept of god starts from the the world he lives in, in

which he lives and moves. So, the god is hindusim, when

one looks at it from this angle , is the Creator!.

But understand that he creates the world not out of

illogical, but out of himself.<br>At the end of of this

cycle of creation where the individual goes throuihg

many phases of 'rewards' and 'punishments'- hindusim

advocates the cyclic 'theory' of creation - he withdraws(

goes in himself) the entire world order- into the

self. So it is thus the self that is this god. Unless

we know the self we will not know this' god'. . then

there is the concept of god that is known as infinite

or <br>brahman it defies all sorts of defintions, it

is beyond words, but it is what we go through as '

not this way ' lets do it this way' the 'right' worng

phases which we go through in life, the learning of what

iIS!<br>hinduism is basically summed up in the word sat - chit -

ananda or also known as Existence- consciousness -

bliss.<br>A thinking mind and a feeling heart- that is what

the human being is.<br><br><br>regards

You are very right gypsyqueenb. I have seen

mostly these Hare Krishna people try to project

themselves as the only saviours of Hinduism Particularly the

neo-converts, who have read only a part of Hinduism. One such

Bhakta is trying to prove Krishna as supreme with the

help of Sankhya Yoga, a philosophy of Hinduism, which

does not accept the presence of God even. I think he

has only heard the name not read the philosophy. If

we go by his words, Shankryacharya,

Vivekananda,Paramhansa ramakrishana, Yogananada, Guru Nanak, Christ,

Buddha and all like them were fake because they did not

worship Krishna ? I think they should grow up a

little.<br><br> I have never seen a shiva Bhakta, or durga Bhakta

or Hanuman bhakta saying all others are wrong. I am

a shiva bhakta but take Krishna as another form of

Shiva, the supreme God.<br><br> and you are right when

you say, Gods do not create confusions. The men are

creating confusions. somewhere they are rejecting others

faith in name of Hare Krishna, somewhere they are

breaking Statues of Buddhas in the name of Islam.<br>will

we ever grow up ?<br><br>Om namah shivaye

Gypsy and vinod, am in full agreement with

you.<br>But there are very few other than hindus(real ones !)

who percieve as a fact that <br><br>"As many sadhaks,

that many paths"<br><br>Hasn't the presence of so many

gods and phlosophies in fact helped us to understand

this as a true fact ? Upon very careful observation

one can also find a common thread running thru all

these, the absolute truth of the observer(shiva) and

energy(his shakti)?<br>One may find the truth more plausible

from his particular angle because his past is uniquely

different from others. <br>So I wouldn't mind a Krishna

Bhakta writing about HIS love for Krishna for there is

so much to learn from his passion for the ishta, but

indeed a problem arises when the writer tries to imply

the sole validity of his approach over so many

others.<br>I have stopped waiting for some answer for my

straightforward questions posted sometime ago.<br>A stony silence

..... why indeed ?
