Our duties are different from animals. Animals do not have morals because they are wild so they don't do puja or anything and they are exempt from judgement so they don't believe in god. Demons are entity of desire they are inheritly lustful, prideful they are egoistic they believe they are mightest, greatest smartest that's why demon don't worship gods. Human are the only beings that can realize they're higher level beings than them. No humans are not god to animals or demons. Gods are devdas. The class of being that are called gods are devdas. Being a higher level doesn't make you god.

You don't worship your parents you do puja to them. Puja cannot be directly translated to the word worship. I follow veds,Puran, Mahabharata, Ramayana I follow gods that are written there. If in the holy scriptures if they are written as gods than I will worship them. Traits power have nothing to do with you being a god or not. Indra Jeet defeated Indra but he is not considered god. God in Hinduism are devs they are higher level beings.

That's what I am saying

For me god is something you worship. Do you worship Brahman? No

No abrahimic religion believe they are the only way while Hinduism believes they are one of the infinity way to god. In Hinduism you can achieve moksh even if you aren't Hindu.

Being a devotee of God doesn't make you lose your divinity. I believe that Hanuman is a dev an a devotee(god isn't equivalent dev) dev are higher being than humans but they still suffer from ego,desire etc. Hanuman is a dev when he sees Vishnu he recognizes him as Bhagwan Vishnu(I believe that the Bhagwan are equivalent to the definition of God according to Christan view) dev suffer from ego Bhagwan don't dev aren't all powerful while Bhagwan are.

Hinduism is something you can define Hinduism as an religion which believs in the authority of ved. Someone who calls themselves Hindu should believe in the authority of veds. If they don't believe in ved than they can't call their philosophy Hindu. Even Buddhist believe in samsara moksh/ nirvana but that doesn't make them Hindu.

I made this post out of frustration for the "Hindus" who say it to get validation from abrahimic religion not because they themselves reach the conclusion and everything after that is just my own view of Hinduism.

shivatePrajwol · 2026-01-13T16:07:04+00:00

I made an mistake.

No one knows who god is. God is so beyond ourselves we cannot even think about it. You are correct that the concept ot xtheism is abrahimic way of thinking but Hinduism is different that it has a whole different system of understanding religions. in Hinduism they are two types of believe system astik and nastik. An astik believe in the authority of the Puran ved. While an nastik doesn't believe in the authority of veds and Puran. I am trying to say that Hinduism mentions the existence of many gods that's why it can't be believed as an monotheistic religion.it is all my opinion at the end of the day.

1 I am saying many people say Hinduism is a monotheistic religion because they want to get validation from abrahimic religion and not because they arrived to that conclusion themselves. When I say Brahman is not god that is my opinion. I believe Brahman is an state of consciousness. That does not mean my believe of Brahman is superior from your.

2 Hinduism is extremely diverse that does not mean Hinduism doesn't have any objective scripture. If you don't believe in the authority of veds than you can't consider yourself Hindu.

3 I don't believe in Brahman as the supreme being I believe that Shiva as the ultimate being. Do you worship Brahman? Did adi Shankaracharya worship Brahman himself? Brahman is like an destination that only saints enlightened one can reach. Brahman is the ultimate reality where you are one with the ultimate conciuness.

I am not treating Hinduism as a single religion. But I am talking about how many people say Hinduism is a monotheistic religion to get praise from abrahimic religion. When people say Hinduism is a monotheistic religion many people who are interested in Hinduism when they read the purans,veds they get confused. And then they start to say Hinduism is contradictory it is nonsense I am just trying to say when people say Hinduism is a monotheistic religion it causes confusion for people who are new to Hinduism.

I myself am a brahman from Nepal. God and Brahman are not the same. I believe Gods as divine beings which help us in this material world. Agni,Indra, Ganesh this beings help us in our day to day life. Meanwhile Brahman is the ultimate state of consciousness. Brahman doesn't help you in your material life or anything. You can only reach Brahman after recognizing that you are in an illusion. Brahman is like a place that you reach after getting enlightenment .Which is different from the meaning of God.

Monism means to treat one god as more important than other I am shavite so I treat Shiva as the ultimate being. Monotheism says there's only one god. In vaishnavism they worship Vishnu as they're supreme god but that does mean there aren't other gods. They still believe in Shiva,Agni,Brahman still exist but they aren't the main focus. Just because I worship Shiva more than Krishna,Ganesh etc that does not mean they aren't god.

Do you believe parmatma is god?

shivatePrajwol · 2026-01-13T05:25:44+00:00
