Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 praNAms Advaitins, Here is a link to a beautiful article on Concept of God in the Sanatana Dharma. == 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. .... [The whole article is available at the following link: http://www.swami-krishnananda.org/disc/disc_14.html ] praNAms to all the seers who could see the all pervasiveness behind this fleeting world.
