We all think we know the world we are living in Jet, we all know in through our own culture's eyes, and it is a known thing that culture is strongly influenced by religion.
And one of the oldest religions of this world is the Hindu religion. In Hinduism, everything begins, ends and it is included in ohm , which is a sign representing the trinity of God. Like the Christians, the Hindu God is divided in 3
different gods, which are one and the same person at the same time. It's the same way a person can be somebody's brother, somebody's father and somebody else's husband, but being at the same time one single person. The gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva represent the Hindu trinity.
Lord Brahma is the Generator, the creator of earth and everything there is: animals,plants and humans. Even being the generator of all things, he isn't worshiped because
he married his sister.
The Great Khali
Vyathara Trimuthi Temple dedicated to Lord Brahma,...
This Statue of Shiva is Approximately 65 feet tall...Lord Vishnu, the most worshiped one, is the Operator. He is one that makes all the rules of the society, the one that makes things move. He usually uses material thing to
persuade people to do the different things he wants them to do. Lord Vishnu is the most handsome one and he is usually represented like a beautiful young man with 4 arms or like a normal beautiful young man that has the shakra in his right hand and a snail shell from which it flows sand in the left one. The snail shell and the sand represent the flow of the time.
Lord Shiva is the Destroyer, the most important of the 3 gods. He is the one who will arise the Divyajyoti, the Hindu "apocalypse", the end of the world. Hindus believe in reincarnation, so the ones that will...
Hinduism... Interesting
This is a good essay in the sense that it is informative, however I am not a follower and do not understand how people make up their own god for each material thing!
I mean, theres 63,000 gods?! The word "god" itself is supposed to mean something big - like it is refered to someone being supreme. Why is there a need for 63,000 gods in one religion? Does that mean that there are millions of followers who don't even know like 62,500 of the gods name or what they do?
Then u have the god of love, who is dead?! Eh.. a god can die? And the gods fight and kill eachother? hmmm, not a god example to us human beings then is it?
What I'm wondering is whether Hinduism has confused the word "god" with just fighters and maybe leaders in the past. People who fought and maybe died have become legends and then exaggerated into greater things!!
Oh and before I forget, Hinduism also has a god who committed incense?! He married his sister?! Errr, so gods have brothers and sisters now and they marry eachother!? People are too damn right not to worship it/him/her!!
It all sounds like a British soap - a cross between Eastenders and Brookside! The rest sounds like Power Rangers, Final Fantasy or something, sorry no offence - but I just can't come to terms with how people can believe this stuff. Well, maybe its the way it is written - but I sure wouldn't follow a religion after reading all that about it!
Personally, I think there are only three true religions which make sense and they are Christianity, Islam (Muslim), and Judaism. I think those religions were meant for true peace and a way of life - only, people have interpreted things their own way and created hatred.
Still, it's an interesting essay - sounds like you have experienced it yourself - I would be interested to read a response to my comment from the author.
BTW. If some of what I wrote doesn't make sense, then worry not, coz I'm a bit high.
