WHAT IS GOD? BASED ON THIS TRUTH OF WHAT GOD IS, VEGETARIAN IS ADVOCATED
by sridhar gorantla on May 10, 2008 02:08 AM  | Hide replies

Hindu Vedic Scriptures & BHAGAVADGEETHA, Holy Bible etc scriptures affirm this:
Everything & everyone in this world is GOD, but its just that the individual doesnot realize this truth. God is not limited to a particular place or location or a person, but is an allpervading divinity that has no beginning, no end or no middle & is existent with in the creation as well as beyond the creation. Due to the illusion caused by Maya or Saitan or Satan or the duality of the nature, the ever present all pervading divinity appears to be divides & independent & this is an illusion, while there is only one thing when you are higly enlightened. Below thing applies to individuals who are in the process of regaining the initial state of oneness:
1. in the initial stages, the individual(be it human or animal or any other individuality) perceives the GOD or Divinity as some power that is located in a place or limited to a body & thus see GOD OR DIVINITY in a temple or Mosque or Church or IDOL or even in a ideal or principle as in the case of Atheist.
2.In the intermediary stages, the same individual perceives oneself as part & parcel of the universalness or ALL PERVADING DIVINITY OR GOD. Examples of this stage are like seeing or perceiving GOD as Mother or as Father or as a Master or some other entity who includes the individuality.
3.In the third & final stages, the individual perceives no difference between the ALL PERVADING DIVINITY OR GOD & THE SELF.

CONTINUE: This is the highest state & anyone who attains this state can be referred to as GOD, since even though there is a body for this individual, the individual doesnot have a perception that he/she is is a body or limited, but is an unlimitedness & all pervading & ever living one.

Above states are based on a time base. Where, sometimes, the individual can experience the above stage 2 or stage 3 even for a moment if not all the time. But, still this kind of people can be seen as being known of GOD. But those who can at will attain the above 2 or 3 stages can be called as the ones who are free from the illusion of the maya or creation or Satan or Saitan. but those who are in stage 3 irrespective of time are the ones who are no different than GOD & should be treated as ALL PERVADING DIVINITY THYSELF. We see above stages in the lives of saints of all religions since time immemorial.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE LIVES OF SAINTS OF ALL RELIGIONS WHO ATTAINED 3rd LEVEL OF ENLIGHTMENT, YOU WILL FIND TO YOUR AMAZEMENT, THAT THEY ALL SPOKE OF SAME THING CALLED GOD OR PARAMATMA OR ALLAH OR HEAVENLY FATHER OR THE UNIVERSAL POWER. SO, DONOT FIGHT LIKE A FOOL IN THE NAME OF GOD. SINCE WE DONOT HAVE REACHED THE DESTINATION YET, WE ARE NOT REALIZING THE ONE & ONLY TRUTH ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF ALL PERVDING DIVINITY & ARE FIGHTING AMONG US. HOW FOOLISH IS THIS?

Since, in reality, everyone is GOD, harming others is implicitly, harming oneself.Lesser you harm others,the less you feel happy.

RE:Whites Please know Hindus Kill Christians in India...do u know about Graham Stain and his 2 kids burned by Hindus...

Raymond, how sick you are. You are just using one isolated incident and trying to create hatred. There are about 50 million Christians in India and one isolated incident like this happened and you are CRYING FOUL. Shame on you.

If you want to cry, then cry against the so called ADVOCATES OF CHRISTIANITY who are just set out to convert others to CHRISTIANITY, while they themselves donot know the CHRISTIANITY in depth and not even to be considered as true FOLLOWERS OF LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Indians have always been tolerant. this was an aberration not the norm. We all feel sorry and ashamed. Proselytizing offends some people. But that is no way to react.

Aabe oai porkistani. I live in Uk and has travelled extensively most of the people in world know India, and know 80 percent in India are Hindus. Most of them are vegetarian. Thanks to IT they consider Indians as master in computers. Indian spirituality is well accepted and admired every where. Indians are considerd as peace loving and well intergrated people within the society keeping their own identity and tradition alive. For your kind information out of 60 million UK population there are 2.5 Million Indians including Sikhs and Gaujratis and etc. Percentage of these people may be meat eating but they do not eat beef for religious reason. Infact here i have seen so called moderate Hindus who come from India on project eat beef to show others that they are more modern and western. Psedu fools like you. Stop barking here

RE:RAM DOES NOT EXIST

Hinduism does not depend on any one person such as Ram or Krishna. Even if all the millions of Gods are removed, Hinduism will still exist.

The spirituality of this land does not even depend on heaven and hell, and going to heaven is considered to be a childish goal. It does not depend on Rama or Krishna or Vishnu or Siva.

Hinduism is not founded by one human being. Hinduism is not dependent on one book.

Hinduism evolved out of millions of sages and divine human beings. Hinduism has a library of million books.

As many Hindus, so many paths. Hinduism is verily democratic. Democracy unparalleled anywhere in the world!

In Hinduism, there are several philosophies. Some of them don't even require you to believe in God. Some of them are explicitly atheistic, they say that God does not exist. Yet, all of them have something in common. All of them have a common goal and that is liberation or moksha or mukthi, which is to come out of the cycle of birth and death, and if this goal sounds strange, then a more easier way of putting this goal is to come out of the pain and suffering that a human being goes through every day. The spirituality of this land believes that a human being can live in perfect freedom from all the pain and suffering and does not have to wait for some God or heaven or judgment day. It is verily possible right here. For that, you don't have to believe in God, but believing in a God makes the job easy.

So what's your problem? Just because a lot of people in Kerala eat beef does not mean it has to be the case everywhere around the World (or even INDIA).
Anyway read the article properly and you will discover that BA has done this for practical reasons (changing food preferences of the British population in general) and not through fear of causing offence to any religious group.
But as you would expect of a good Keralite INDIAN Secular with Hindu name (most probably Communist) you start to get hot under the collar about all this just because it meets with the approval of a lot of non-Beef eating Hindus around the WORLD
