Celebrating Shravan with Shiva -5

 Shiva Day Five

Swami Krishnanada has written an excellent article on Hinduism and the concept of god. The Concept of God in Hinduism https://www.swamikrishnananda.org/disc/disc_14.html

The earliest statement of the Nature of Reality occurs in the first book of the Rig-Veda: Ekam Sat-Viprah Bahudha Vadanti. "The ONE BEING, the wise diversely speak of."

The tenth book of the Rig-Veda regards the highest conception of God both as the Impersonal and the Personal: The Nasadiya Sukta states that the Supreme Being is the Un-manifest and the Manifest, Existence as well Non-existence, the Supreme Indeterminable.

Note:

The soul of Hinduism is not the same as the soul of the Abrahamic religions. The former is indistinguishable from one another since it has no qualities or attributes. Hence, it is generally called the Self (Atman) rather than the soul.

A self-realized yogi, inspired by Sanatan Hindu Vedic Dharma, would conclude from various thoughts that God is consciousness (Brahaman) which resides inside all of us, which becomes the final realization when truth dominates the untruth
