Pitstop - ??? Nice to see you ... thought you wont like to share your 2 Yens here... :)
Don take this seriously for F sake...
this is de only entertainment in Qatar... :)

UmmJake - True.. All religion are used rather misused for political goals... none is exception to it...

And its the most lethal combination - faith emotions for the sake of power.....

I quoted Islam in here jus to question Ql as she claimed everything is explained in scriptures in a way tht can be understood by a common man....
but it cannot be...

Troll - As i told you before I am not the correct Guy to tell you about Hinduism...

It is very much like - tht I m a poet of Language you don know... say Marathi...
To share and describe the beauty I see.... first you should know the language.....
Introducing the basics of the lang is diff for a poet...

But I ll again give it a try... loose nothing in doin so... :)

There are many Gods in Hinduism...
Shri Krishna, Ganapati (My fav :) ), Vishnu etc....

All these are known to be re-incarnations of the God....

Hierarchy wise.... there is one Ultimate God...
Who then took form of three major - The creator, the sustainer and the destroyer...
And the Gods known are re-incarnations of these in different time zones ...

These Gods are Specific... as per the Human desires....

Ganesha or Ganpati is known to be God of Wisdom, Agni Dev for fire, Maa Annapurna for Food, Maa Laxmi for Money which is Dynamic, Kuber for Wealth tht is stagnant...

Technically you are praying one God... but when you imagine or rather pray tht particular God... your energies and focused on wht you are praying for or you pray one which you like....

Variety is accepted and appreciated in Hinduism...

You need a physical image to imagine....
even when we imagine... nothingness... it is like - all tht I know this does not exist....

there are Hindus who follow religion as followed by Musims... there are Idol worshipers...
there are people doin R n D on a particular script..
All are Hindus...
No body outcasts the other one....
Yes we do fight amongst each other often... :) we do have our share of nuts... :)

I am not a Idol worshiper.. I am more of a seeker... someone in search of experience beyond the scope of logic n common sense...
n m still a Hindu... I have a right to research and seek wht I m searching for....
I m addicted to how functioning of brain affects our thought process and limits us from living with our ful potential.... but thts me...

One Major Difference between Islam and Hinduism... or the way I follow is....

In Islam... there is only ONE GOD...
For me... Everything came from God.. there is God in everything....
Everyone of US... I see God in all... It wont be digestible to most of you here... but tht is wht I follow n know...
May b tht is why... I never try to convert people to wht I believe But try help them practice theres' in a better way..

Help Muslim be a Better Muslim
Help Christian being a Better Christian...
Help a Hindu be a Better Hindu (this is field of expertise :) )
For me tht is true religion.. true spiritualism.....
true message from the God...... To LOVE him....

He can never say..Kill others.. or destroy others...
if you think so... you mis-heard him big time.

There is no God but allah....
true.. but where does it say people who worship him in diff name are wrong ????? may be the preachers made it sound tht way...

forget God... Me as a Person
Back home... frens called me Doke...Doks DOku....
Here.. people are not familiar with it.. prefer calling me Ash or Ashwin... Ash Baby (I hate it but K.. came with love so accepted... :) )
relatives call Vicky...
Chick calls me Dear....honey whtever...
Do I become the diff Person ??? I m still the same....

God is supreme.... you think he is bothered about the NOUN used ??????

Pajju - Sorry for another essay. :)
I let you buy me a drink.... lol
