Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Richard Ji was only pointing out the fact that the Guinness Book of Records wrote that piece about Hindu Gods being more in number than Hindus. (Its believed Hinduism has more than 330 million Gods.) I would be tackling the source, i.e. Guinness Book of Records, rather than the person who pointed it out. Also ask the source to proof what they've written is true or false. sacred-objects , " @>ESWAR<@ " <dr_esreddy wrote: > > > it has become habitual for this richards to joke at hinduism and hindus > he needs proper treatment. may be he is wearing wrong stones. > eswara reddy > > --- On Sat, 28/6/08, kishore patnaik <kishorepatnaik09 wrote: > > kishore patnaik <kishorepatnaik09 > Re: Re: A funny spoof on Hindu from unCyclopedia > sacred-objects > Saturday, 28 June, 2008, 5:56 PM It is not being humorless, Richard, but you are poking at the dignity of Hindus.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Here is something I found on net....just sharing with you ... Hindus belive Ekam sat bahudavadanti Vipra.... Means truth is one...it manifests in deffrent form... Hindus believe in one supreme God who created the universe and who is worshipped as Light, Love and Consciousness. Hindus believe that there is one all-pervasive God which energizes the entire universe. We can see Him in the life shining out of the eyes of humans and all creatures. We Hindus believe that there is one all-pervasive God which energizes the entire universe. We can see Him in the life shining out of the eyes of humans and all creatures This concept of God as existing in and giving life to all things is called " panentheism. " It is different from pantheism, which is the belief that God is the natural universe and nothing more. It is also different from theism which says God is only above the world. Panentheism is a beautiful concept. It says that God is both in the world and beyond it, both immanent and transcendent He is invisible, unmanifest and Nirguna (formless), but to please his devotees whose mind cannot comprehend His glory, He takes on forms to bless them. Shankara in his lalita trishati bhashya explains this very clearly,..... bhaktaanugrahaaka vigraha vattam vinaa devataayaa buddhavanaaropeNa saguNopaasana vigrahavantah aN^gikartavyaa iti pratishhThaapitam If the dieties do not possess forms to bless their devotees, the devotees cannot grasp them mentally and sagunopaasana becomes impossible.. But how should we worship ? Shankara says in the bhashya on how to worship tathaapi tadapavaada purassaram shuddha chaitanyaabheda dhyana ruupa mukhya bhajanam mukhya meva A devotee must meditate only on his oneness with pure awareness in worship. When a devotee approaches Ishvara or Ishta-devata with reverence, he thinks he is the body. He has the dehatma-buddhi. Thus shrii shankara further explains this in the aatmashhaTakaM manobuddhyaha.nkaarachittaani naahaM na cha shrotrajivhe na cha ghraaNanetre . na cha vyomabhuumiH na tejo na vaayuH chidaana.ndaruupaH shivo.ahaM shivo.aham.h I am not the intellect, ego, mind. Neither am I hearing, taste, smell, sight. Nor am I space, earth, light, air, field of consciousness. I am the pure consciousness of bliss. I am Shiva.

In the form of body I am your servant. In the form of life, O three-eyed one, I am part of yourself. In the form of soul, you are within me and in every other soul. I have arrived at this conclusion through my intellect and on the authority of the various scriptures. In 'Devi Mhatmya'... it is explained further...
