Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 - leo mendez theleo99 hindu Tuesday, September 25, 2001 02:14 website Hello! You are running quite a simple, yet very educational website. My question is, who is God? Does the Gita tackle this question, besides He is the " everything " . That is, in Christianity for instance, God is the " Father " of Jesus. Is it possible that Vishnu in turn is an Atman of God? Or is God and Vishnu two separate beings? Thank you for your help. Leo Mendez ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~response~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Leo Your question is very interesting, we will throw it open to our list so that they may reply to you directly or via the list. Let us see what response we come up with. regards jay Vivekananda Centre London ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Namaste, Here are some epithets,in the Gita, for God: bhagavaan dehii brahman aatmaa param paraaM shaantiH paraaM gatiH paramaM dhaama paraM sthaanam kR^itsnasya jagataH prabhavaH cha pralayaH cha vaasudevaH sarvam sarvasya dhaataaram sarvayaj~naaM bhoktaa cha prabhureva cha pitaahamsya jagataH maataa dhaataa pitaamahaH paramaM purushhaM divyam purushhottama iishvara antarjyotiH shaashvatadharmagoptaa mattaH parataraM naasti ki~nchit mattaH sarvaM pravartate gatiH bhartaa prabhuH saakshii nivaasaH sharaNaM suhR^id . prabhavaH pralayaH sthaanaM nidhaanaM biijam avyayam.h .. 9/18 In summary, God is the Self of all, the inner light, father, mother, friend,witnss, seed, pervading all, beginning-middle-end of all creation, the ultimate resort for peace and happiness, beyond which nothing else exists.

Regarding the question, I don't believe I've seen the Gold Standard description, as of yet: " Sat - Chit - Ananda " = Absolute Existence, Consciousness & Bliss . . . > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
