this is continuation of my previous disscuss i think the full text doesnt appear there sorry,a lot to tell after it but didnt came there and typing of mine gone in vain no prob i will make it to u once more from trinity trinity concept The trinity concept of Hindus is different from that of other religions.Here the ‘controllers’ of birth,existence / growth and death are symbolically presented in human forms as Brahma Vishnu Maheswara – trimoorthy sankalpa in which the universal laws of life cycle are symbolically presented Explanation for Mahavishnu: The blue colour of Vishnu denotes the colour of the sky and ocean which means the infinity/ limitless. The serpent on which Vishnu is lying denotes the coiled structure of a galaxy. The name of the serpent anantha means limitless (infinity) the ksheera saagaram ( ocean of milk) on which Vishnu is pictured shows milky way galaxy. Anantha sayana represent the silent universe/galaxies. Symbolically Mahalakshmi (meaning of this word is prosperity) has been attributed the position of the wife of Mahavishnu showing that any system an smoothly exist only with prosperity. explanation of brahma From Mahavishnu comes out through a Lotus (symbolically) the creator Lord Brahma. This symbolically presents a connection of Lord Brahma with the prapancha purhsa similar to the connection of the baby in the womb of the mother. The baby takes the energy and nutrition for growing/ cell production from the mother. Similarly Lord Brahma takes energy and material from for creation in the world. The four heads of Lord Brahma represent the four axes required for any creation: x, y, z and time axes.The Vedas (the word itself means knowledge) in the hands of Lord Brahma and the position of Saraswathy (deity of knowledge) as the wife of the creator symbolically present that for every creation knowledge/vidya is required.The knowledge and creation (knowledge for creation) are inseparable components. explanation of shiva Lord Siva is the deity symbolically presents the controller of death/ destruction (the destruction is for further construction).Symbolically Lord Siva has powerful fire in the third eye, powerful water and torrential air symbolically tied in the tuft and the snake around the neck ( symbol of international medical association)and thri sool in hand. All the five respectively present destruction through fire, water (flood , etc) air ( cyclone/ tempest,etc) diseases and using weapons. explanation for 33 crore devathas in hinduism it is said as munnotymuk kodi devatha The meaning of this statement is very simple but wrongly understood . Koti means part (not ten million) and here 33 parts devaas (people with divine qualities) 33 parts asuraas ( people with demonic qualities)and 33 parts maanavas ( people with ordinary human qualities)- it is just like we say 1/3 of the human beings have divine, demonic and ordinary human qualities each. It said that Hindus worship everything ! True in everything we can see the divine power and that divinity could be felt when we elevate ourselves into that level explanation for caste system Hindus say Vedas are holy because it gives absolutely (no stories ) the universal laws and truths. Anyone can learn Vedas and there did not exist a rule that people belonging to only one caste can learn Vedas. For keeping the seriousness and for strictly following the rules, the scholars defined that who has Brahminical qualities only can learn Vedas, which can be acquired and not obtained by birth alone. All the Rishies who composed Vedic manthras were not Brahmins, Sri Krishna or Sri Rama were not Brahmins. Many ancient Rishies and many of those Rishies who are living now are not Brahmins from birth. The Hindu way of life is different from that of the followers of other religions. Learning and practicing Hindu dharma should be done directly and it is an experience. All the Hindu way of life is through customs and rituals. It is always advised to follow the relevant and scientific customs and rituals which are beneficial psychologically, physiologically, family based relation and social relations strengthening and also for national integration All this customs and rituals put together is known as sanaathana dharma and so much to say,but only as a continuation,aftr all of ur replies, next topic is the hindu worship and rituals if u hav any doubt of above mentioned plz ask , i will try to clear it,

Hi Shiv! This is amazing! Excellent! I really appreciate your efforts in putting this all so clearly. Why, there were so many things I did not know, and you have explained it so well. You seem to have a huge chunk of information with you. I have a very small suggestion. Why don't you divide this information into little articles of 250-300 words and start a blog? Or have you already done it? If you promote this blog on social networking sites, you will reach out to a larger audience and many more people will come to know about our beautiful religion and culture. Cheers and happy Mylotting

You don't need a lot of Internet knowledge to start a blog, Shiv! You simply have to go to www.blogger.com and open a blog in three minutes. Then you simply type and post...just like you do here on Mylot. :) Cheers!

Thank you for this wonderful discussion. This discussion should clear away the misconception which many christians and muslims have regarding Hinduism. The hindu concept of God seems to be similar to the one explained in the trilogy 'Conversations with God' written by Neale Donald Walsch. Neale is an American, but surprisingly, what he has written is similar to the God concept which you have explained.

Hey Shiv, I have a few pointers if you take Positiveminded up on the Blogging... 1st type and post your conversation here in MyLot, copy and paste the conversation into your clipboard, notepad or word processor. Save this conversation that you are now ready to post here and post this conversation, then take and copy and paste the conversation into other Blogs. Here is the thing, you can not paste any text until like Mathss was trying to explain to you when you reach the 500 point level then you can copy and paste your work. Be careful about pasting the work of other people as you do not want to violate any copyright laws which is against the MyLot rules. Beyond that Happy MyLotting and Blogging, and if you happen to enjoy Blogger by all means stop by some of my Blogs and take a look around. I should be back there Blogging soon, I have a project underway and it is rather overwhelming, but I like challenges and I'm game I think there will be a social benefit to what I am doing if others take notice of what I'm doing and see the good in what can be done. Phewww! that was a mouth full LOL, speedy little fingers all flying around on the keys, and not getting all twisted up. Peace and Blessings, Sincerely, Gary

Wonderful discussion shivram, I knew that G stands for generator,O for operator and D for destroyer, the trinity concept,but today I know the real meaning behind the same, I was wondering why maths,when answering to a discussion of mine was commenting about 33 million gods. Finally it should be an eye opener to everybody who said Hinduism is a casteist religion, that Sri Krishna was a yadav, a most backward class community in our present day India. I would suggest that every Hindu should read your post and understand their religion. Keep up the good work.
