Common Concept of God in Hinduism:

 

Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three gods, some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty three crore i.e. 330 million Gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.

The major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common Hindus’ belief in the philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as God. He considers the trees as God, the sun as God, the moon as God, the monkey as God, the snake as God and even human beings as manifestations of God!

Islam, on the contrary, exhorts man to consider himself and his surroundings as examples of Divine Creation rather than as divinity itself. Muslims therefore believe that everything is God’s i.e. the word ‘God’ with an apostrophe ‘s’. In other words the Muslims believe that everything belongs to God. The trees belong to God, the sun belongs to God, the moon belongs to God, the monkey belongs to God, the snake belongs to God, the human beings belong to God and everything in this universe belongs to God.

Thus the major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim beliefs is the difference of the apostrophe ‘s’. The Hindu says everything is God. The Muslim says everything is God’s.

Concept of God according to Hindu Scriptures:

 

We can gain a better understanding of the concept of God in Hinduism by analysing Hindu scriptures.

BHAGAVAD GITA

The most popular amongst all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagavad Gita.

Consider the following verse from the Gita:

"Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures."
                   [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]
 

The Gita states that people who are materialistic worship demigods i.e. ‘gods’ besides the True God.

UPANISHADS:

The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus.

The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God:

  1. "Ekam evadvitiyam"
    "He is One only without a second." [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]

     

  2. "Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."
    "Of Him there are neither parents nor lord." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]

  3. "Na tasya pratima asti"
    "There is no likeness of Him." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]

  4. The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:

    "Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."
    "His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."  [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]

Atharvaveda
The Atharvaveda praises God in Book 20, hymn 58 and verse 3:
  1. "Dev maha osi"
    "God is verily great" [Atharvaveda 20:58:3]
In Islam, we say Allahu Akbar which means God is great.

Rigveda
 

  1. The oldest of all the vedas is Rigveda. It is also the one considered most sacred by the Hindus. The Rigveda states in Book 1, hymn 164 and verse 46:

    "Sages (learned Priests) call one God by many names."    [Rigveda 1:164:46]

  2. The Rigveda gives several different attributes to Almighty God. Many of these are mentioned in Rigveda Book 2 hymn 1.

    Among the various attributes of God, one of the beautiful attributes mentioned in the Rigveda Book II hymn 1 verse 3, is Brahma. Brahma means ‘The Creator’. Translated into Arabic it means Khaaliq. Muslims can have no objection if Almighty God is referred to as Khaaliq or ‘Creator’ or Brahma. However if it is said that Brahma is Almighty God who has four heads with each head having a crown, Muslims take strong exception to it.

    Describing Almighty God in anthropomorphic terms also goes against the following verse of Yajurveda:

    "Na tasya Pratima asti"
    "There is no image of Him."   [Yajurveda 32:3]

    Another beautiful attribute of God mentioned in the Rigveda Book II hymn 1 verse 3 is Vishnu. Vishnu means ‘The Sustainer’. Translated into Arabic it means Rabb. Again, Muslims can have no objection if Almighty God is referred to as Rabb or 'Sustainer' or Vishnu. But the popular image of Vishnu among Hindus, is that of a God who has four arms, with one of the right arms holding the Chakra, i.e. a discus and one of the left arms holding a ‘conch shell’, or riding a bird or reclining on a snake couch. Muslims can never accept any image of God. As mentioned earlier this also goes against Svetasvatara Upanishad Chapter 4 verse 19.
    "Na tasya pratima asti"
    "There is no likeness of Him"

    The following verse from the Rigveda Book 8, hymn 1, verse 1 refer to the Unity and Glory of the Supreme Being:

  3. "Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata"
    "O friends, do not worship anybody but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him alone." [Rigveda 8:1:1]

  4. "Devasya samituk parishtutih"
    "Verily, great is the glory of the Divine Creator." [Rigveda 5:1:81]

Brahma Sutra of Hinduism:

The Brahma Sutra of Hinduism is:

"Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan"

"There is only one God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit."

Thus only a dispassionate study of the Hindu scriptures can help one understand the concept of God in Hinduism.

 Look, I will give you some example

 Bollywood Actress Jinat Aman is a Tamang from Sindhipalchowk district of Nepal, When she was 13 a human traficker took her to Bombay to sell her.She some how managed to runway from that trafficker and took refuge in a house of Nepali driver who happen to be the Driver of Dev Anand. One day dev Anand saw her and he was so impressed with her beauty that he decided to make her an actress in one of his movie. He made Hary Ram, Hary krishna, it was filmed in Nepal because Jinat Amant missed her country.So, in oreder to make by happy Dev Anand had to film the film in Kathmandu. 
You want proof? let me gove you some

1. Name itself

जिनत अमान=जिना तामांग 
 loook at her photo
Zeenat Aman Photo Gallery


She looks like a Tamang girl, look at her ear ring, Tamang gals wear that type of ear ring. Name Jinat Aman sounds Muslim but she has tika, that is because her real name is Jina Tamang, and Tamangs put  tika. Name Jinat Aman was given to her for Bollywood only. Actually they were proposing different name but the she liked the name Jinat  Aman because it was very close to her real name.
You know what reality is

Second

There was a guy named Sir Henry Tendon, Duke of London in UK in around 1925s. He visited Nepal as a special envoy of the king to discuss about the dangerous situation in Europe and how Nepal can help England in case war broke.

Sir Henry Tendon, Duke of London was a Nepali guy you don’t beehive me? Let me give you some proof

His actual name was 
सरन हरि टन्डन डकुलनठन = Sir Henry Tendon Duke of London
you still don’t believe me?

In Kaushi Toshkhana (Ministry of Finance at the time of Rana rule) records shows that Rana govt spent rs 4000 at that time for him
what happened was, Sir Henry Tendon, Duke of London visited Nepal, to discuss political situation in Europe and seeking military help from Nepal in case war broke. Govt spend 4000 rs. While keeping the record, To the kharidar who used to keep the record the name Sir Henry Tendon Duke of London was very unfriendly to his ear, that sounded

more like 
सरन हरि टन्डन डकुलनठन, so he wrote that name instead of Sir henry Tendon, Duke of London.

Third,

Hitler was a Nepali guy, his real name was Hit Lal, see how similar is the name. 
During First World War Hit Lal used to be a post man in army (who was chosen as post man because he was from mountainous Nepal who can walk uphill, downhill many times a day. At that time there was shortage of vehicles (most vehicles were used to carry soldiers) so he was chosen to carry letters for soldiers 


Germans were punished after First World War, Hit Lal developed sympathy towards Germany. There was a leadership vacuum in GERMANY and you know Nepalese are always eager to become Leader. He became Leader of one of the party, won election.

He was an Aryan from Nepal so just before Second World War he tried to convince Nepal to be an ally with Germany during Second World War, send a Mercedes Benz Car as a present to then prime minister Judah Smasher. He tried many things. Being a "khas" Nepali He was convince that “Khas” are the real Aryan people so he had a plan for Nepal, He also believed that European Aryan is not a pure race, they were already mixed with different races. So his plan was forcing Nepali khas gals to marry with German Aryans so that a pure Aryan breed will be developed.
You see, how similarities can there be in name and how different can be the reality? 

Fourth

Britain’s ex Prime minter Margret Thatcher is Nepali women, you know why?
She was an orphan in some village in Nepal and adopted By British White family. At the time of adoption The British women asked her mother about the name of the gal. Nepali mother understood differently and told 
अब यो छोरी तिमि

लै
दिए हाले, मार, रेट, थचार  यो छोरी तिम्रै हो.

When British family returned to England, they forgot what was kids name, but the mother remembered words मार,

रेट
, थचार . She told to authorities oh, her name is Margaret Thatcher

 

Saying Mahamed of bhabisya Puran and Muhamad of Koran is same person is also similar thing. Those names are from different language which bears different meaning.

Regarding the stories in Hindu Books, you guys developed completely wrong concept. Hindu Books are the story (History) of the past. So that the new generation will learn from the mistakes of the past. (Same is true with Bible, Koran and Torah).

Vyas wrote Jaya which was of about 8000 verses, It was considered in depth history book of that time, People liked it. In the mean time they said Vyas missed many things in this book. On popular demand Vyas added many things to it. Then it became “Bijaya” ( about 16000 verses. Adding of history of later era continued and the book swelled into 24000 verses and the book become “Mahabharata”.

Actually Vyas was not happy adding of verses in “Jaya” which converted it into “Mahabharata”. He has mentioned this somewhere.  So to include smaller events, history of less important kings, and to explain complicated things in Mahabharata Vyas wrote “Purana” . He was annoyed by peoples demand to keep on adding things into his original writings. To avoid this, he intelligently devised a solution to it. The solution is called “Bhabisya Puran”. That means in future people can keep on adding things on it. That means all his original writing will be left alone and in future people can continue writing history by adding the events of their time. Bhabisya PURAN does not says the things that will happen in future instead it was created so that people do not forget to write the history of their time and all of his original work will remain intact.

When people misunderstand things, then Jinat Aman becomes जिना तामांग , Margaret Thatcher becomes मार, रेट, थचार ,

Sir henry Tendon, Duke of London becomes
सरन हरि टन्डन डकुलनठन, Hitlar becomes Hitlal.

So some people finding Muhammad in bhabisya puran is completely hilarious.

Religious Books are History books, where you can find  how society was at that time, what the problem was and how they solve it. Nothing more. There are both good  as well as bad things.

Later some cunning people found that these books can be used as a means to rule over other, they developed it into religion. For their personal benefit. Govt used this as a means to control unruly population. Dictators used it, terrorists used it.

 

So Mr. Servent, lesson of those History book are always used by clever people to control psychologically weak people like you. There is no logic.

Using those books people have enjoyed life in Christianity, in Islam, in Hinduism  in Buddhism and in Judaism, actually in every religion. They are monsters of present time. They are the trouble makers. So which side you are on? Trouble maker’s side or problem solvers side?
