Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya HINDU SECTS On the Soul and God SAIVISM: God Siva is one with the soul. The soul must realize this advaitic Truth by God Siva's grace. SHAKTISM: The Divine Mother, Shakti, is mediatrix, bestowing advaitic moksha on those who worship Her. VAISHNAVISM: God and soul are eternally distinct. Through Lord Vishnu's grace, the soul's destiny is to worship and enjoy God. (dualistic) SMARTISM: Ishvara and man are in reality Absolute Brahman (advaitic). Within maya, the soul and Ishvara appear as two. JNana dispels the illusion. -- Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami Sivaya Namah All new Mail "The new Interface is stunning in its simplicity and ease of use." - PC Magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
