God: Who is He?
This is my seventh post. Today we come on to the actual and an enthralling topic of spiritualism. Firstly, try to forget about Hindu mythology and in overall ponder about God in one. Who is He? When was He born? Where was He born? Why is He revered so much? Why is He acknowledged as the invincible and infallible one?
The answers to all of the questions above is kind of tricky and unsure. In every culture, it is said that God is one. It's just that there are many forms of him. In the Muslim cult it's Allah, Christianity- Jesus Christ, Hindu- Shiv, Vishnu and Brahma. The atheists believe that God doesn't exist and its all made up with stories of imagination. If we think astrologically, this universe is made up of matter( everyone being composed of particles ). That is what we are. Now, wonder why God is invincible? Hypothetically, God is made up of energy; energy being impossible to destroy. So, who was the first energy to be existed in this universe? Everyone must have heard of Mahadev ( God of Gods ). He is one of the most powerful energies that can destroy or give life. In Hinduism, He is reiterated as the Destroyer. Now, it may seem to you as an evil and cruel thing however for a soul to be born or reincarnated, it needs to complete the cycle. Some rishis ( Indian Saints ) opine that he resides in the cremation grounds with his beloved wife- Parvati.
After the Mahadev, comes the Creator- Brahma. He is who puts soul and energy into a physical body. Moreover, he follows the cycle of reincarnation. He is seen as with three heads sitting with his wife who is the Goddess of Wisdom and Education- Mata Saraswati.
Now, there is one crucial stage between being created and destroyed, and that is being nurtured. The Nurturer in Hindu mythology is chanted as The Vishnu. He has many reincarnations like Lord Ram, Sri Krishna, Lord Parshu Ram. They seem to be embedded in everyones' hearts. They are magnificent temples of him everywhere around the world. The ISKCON is an organisation that devotes to Lord Vishnu especially the vivacious Sri Krishna. Lord Vishnu is seen with his beautiful and strong wife - Goddess Laxmi, who is also revered throughout the nation for her strength is wealth and happiness.
These three Gods happen to be important in the religion as They are together as one helping each human complete the endless cycle of life. Remember, its the powerful energy They consist of which makes them significant in this religion, not their outer appearance. Revering their souls and energies provides us with the strength we need to face our hurdles and speed bumps in life.
One more thing- Hope is what sustains life. Hope for God will help you when you have tried to help yourself when you are drowning or about to capsize, is what keeps the life in you.
