Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya HINDU SECTS On the Nature of Personal God SAIVISM: God Siva is pure love and compassion, immanent and transcendent, pleased by our purity and sadhana. SHAKTISM: The Goddess Shakti is both compassionate and terrifying, pleasing and wrathful, assuaged by sacrifice and submission. VAISHNAVISM: God Vishnu is loving and beautiful, the object of man's devotion, pleased by our service and surrender. SMARTISM: Ishvara appears as a human-like Deity according to devotees' loving worship, which is sometimes considered a rudimentary self-purifying practice. -- Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami Sivaya Namah Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
