Hi Manish!

 

I understand that there is a common ground for all religions, and indeed between

Hinduism and Christianity.

 

As I understand it, Shiva is the name of the Absolute, the Upanishadic Brahman.

In this sense, I perceive resemblances between Shiva and God the Father. God

the Father is meant to be, in a sense, as the fountain of the Trinity. I

understand we are referring to God in his utter transcendence. I understand the

Varda Mudra of Shiva as a symbol of the kenosis of God The Father, in which He

gives himself totally to God the Son except His being as Father.

 

I perceive as well, resemblances between Shri Krishna and Jesus Christ, that is

God in its utter immanence. The root Vish means to "pervade" or so I was

taught. And St Paul refers that "everything was created for Him and in Him."

 

When I chant the Gayatri Mantra, it's a way for me to ask the Holy Spirit for

Guidance. In this sense, I understand that Brahma, Shri Saraswati, and Shri

Gayatri are related to spiritual guidance, as the Holy Spirit is.

 

It's the way I see the question. I only put this particular point of view into

public consideration.

 

Yours,

Hi ALFONSO,

Tks,
