The Concept of God in Hinduism

by Swami Krishnananda

The Divine Life Society - Sivananda Ashram, Rishikesh, India

 

 

The earliest statement of the Nature of Reality occurs in the first book of the

Rig-Veda:

Ekam Sat-Viprah Bahudha Vadanti. " The ONE BEING, the wise diversely speak of. "

 

The tenth book of the Rig-Veda regards the highest conception of God both as the

Impersonal and the Personal: The Nasadiya Sukta states that the Supreme Being is

both

the Unmanifest and the Manifest, Existence as well as Non-existence, the Supreme

Indeterminable.

 

The Purusha-Sukta proclaims that all this Universe is God as the Supreme Person

- the

Purusha with thousands of heads, thousands of eyes, thousands of limbs in His

Cosmic

Body. He envelops the whole cosmos and transcends it to infinity.

 

The Narayana-Sukta exclaims that whatever is anywhere, visible or invisible, all

this is

pervaded by Narayana within and without.

praNAms to all the seers who could see the all pervasiveness

behind this fleeting world.
