"What is the fate of ram...@ Anonymous (Praksh)<br />"What is the fate of rama, Krishna , ganesh and millions of other gods? Why are they specifically worshiped?"<br /><br />Existence is God (or Not-God. Whatever terms you or Sujai prefer. It doesn't matter). But it is very difficult to understand the abstract, the infinite, and the formless. That's why Hindus worship form. It can be any form you like- Ram, Krishna, Ganesha etc. In fact 700 million Hindus can come up with 700 million Gods. The form is not important. The worship is important. An idol is just a tool, an instrument to surrender your ego. If you are really intelligent- like Kapil, Kanad, Ashtavakra, Janak, or J Krishnamurti- then you don't need any such God.<br /><br />"I don't believe in god" <br />I don't either i.e. I don't believe god as a supernatural being sitting somewhere. In fact I don't believe in believing. Because Belief and Knowledge are mutually exclusive events. If you believe something you don't know it and if you know something you don't believe it.<br /><br />I am explaining meaning of some terminology of Hinduism- which may help to distinguish them from the meaning of god we usually assume:<br />"Ishwara"<br /> Ishwara comes from the word "Aishwarya"-meaning richness. A Kohinoor is precious-it is beautiful. A rose is more precious- it has got beauty and life. A child is more precious- the child has got life and consciousness. An Einstein, Tagore is even more precious-they have got consciousness and intelligence. Finally a Jesus or Mohammad or Krishna or Buddha are the most precious- they are enlightened. That's why they have been worshipped as Ishwara-god.<br /><br />"Bhagvan"<br /> Bhagvan comes from the word "Bhagya" meaning destiny. Hinduism believes it is the destiny of every living being to realise the Divinity within. Those who have achieved that destiny- Buddha, Mahavira, Ramakrishna, and Raman Maharishi- have been worshipped as Bhagwan.<br /><br />"Brahm"<br /> Brahm literally means Ever-expanding. That's why Hindus found it more prudent to worship a tree like Tulsi instead of worshipping a lifeless stone idol- because a tree is growing, it has life. Though I doubt very few Hindus today are aware of the true reason behind their practices or the meaning of the words I have explained .Ashtavakranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-10940137971970373102010-07-21T08:33:11.988+05:302010-07-21T08:33:11.988+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Suresh Veeragonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341353230411517097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-34800792915945963242010-07-20T22:55:41.167+05:302010-07-20T22:55:41.167+05:30If hinduism really says and means whatever exist...If hinduism really says and means whatever exists is god ( as posted by ashtavakra),then what is the fate of rama,krishna ,ganesh and millions of other gods?

So they say "God exists"<br /> Hinduism never said "God exists". It said the opposite- "Whatever exists is God". It is impossible to contradict this statement. You can replace the word "God" by any other word- nature, existence, Tao, Brahm. It doesn't matter. <br /> Mahavir of Jainism said God doesn't exist. Buddha went a step further. He said even the "atma" doesn't exist. But they were the greatest enlightened masters.Hindu Sankhya philosophy or Japanese Zen-they don't believe in God either<br /> One can very well be spiritual even though one doesn't believe in God.ashtavakranoreply@blogger.com
