Confused Ji, how are you doing :)? I always amused by your presence in Sajha. I am so busy that don't have enough time to write quite often but we will certainly share our understandings. I feel we have lot many things common, both of us are explorers, open minded for new ideas, keen to learn about the mysterious nature, practical, resultant oriented and many others. We are alike from many aspects, don't you feel? There are many friends like us in Sajha, I wish I could meet them in person some day. Vedic life is also one of them :). By the way thanks for your answers. Vedic life, of course I am with you my friend. I am not happy with you though :) (kidding), you did't give answers of my any questions. My questions are straight forward and specific, they don't require long explanation. Either I am dull, or you couldn't understand my questions, even if I search inside your long postings for my answers, I lost myself from the reality. Anyway, your every posting generate enormous questions in my mind but I want to forget all these and concentrate on your reply to my query. You said Hinduism believe in one god....... So what is the difference between Judism, Islam, Christianity and Hinduism? As you have posted some examples from Upanishads, can you please post here some examples from Vedas that reinforcing your statement..... ********************************************************** Creation, preservation and destruction go hand-in-hand in this world. Saguna Brahman is not just the creator, but the preserver and destroyer also. The creator aspect of Saguna Brahman is called Brahma; the preserver aspect, Vishnu; and the destroyer aspect Shiva or Maheshwara. These three form the so-called Hindu Trinity. *************************************************************** Wait a minute, wait a minute; your above mentioned statement begets doubt in my mind that you really know the Vedas. As far as I know concept of incarnation system and the generator, operator and destroyer was developed in Pauranic Era, much after than the Buddha. So you are mixing up the things. As I read your posting, the way you are stating bound me believe that you are the master of the Vedas, if not at least Student of the Vedas. Now I am doubtful. Putting my numerous questions aside let me put just one question to you. Do you know all Vedas or not? Have you at least read Rig-Veda once? Have you read at least few Richas (Chapters) of Rig-Vedas? These questions are yes/ no questions, if the answer is affirmative, I will put forward my questions otherwise not. Vedic life, I want to learn, I don?t want to discuss. I wish you are a great scholar of Veda and will quench my thrust of Vedic knowledge. If you don't know Vedas at least to some extent, is it not rational to talk about it. We grow up in very bad tradition where we advocate things just out of blind faith. My father used to say when I was a child, "Do you know Vedas are the source of all the knowledge, it has everything in it. Modern science is also included in it." I believed him and started to tell to my friends till I was in College. My friends used to appreciate it, I used to feel joy. Now I am reading Vedas, they are disappointing. There should be good chapters too; I haven't come across them yet. Even if there are good chapters, an innocent reader will certainly get confused because the whole Vedas are full of violence and the greed. The Mantras of Veda either talk about the war or secrificial ceremonies or praise of gods like Indra, Barun, Mitra, Purusha, Agni etc for the material wealth. Believe me I haven't expected Quantum Chromo Dynamics in Vedas but I have expected that it would be explicit about the enlightenment, and the path leading to the enlightenment. My expectations are fading but I am still optimistic, I still have to read it entirely. Contd........
