Download or read book Hindu Monotheism written by Gavin Dennis Flood and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If by monotheism we mean the idea of a single transcendent God who creates the universe out of nothing (creatio ex nihilo), as in the Abrahamic religions, then that is not found in the history of Hinduism. But if we mean a supreme, transcendent deity who impels the universe, sustains it and ultimately destroys it before causing it to emerge once again, who is the ultimate source of all other gods who are her or his emanations, then this idea does develop within that history. It is a Hindu monotheism and its nature that is the topic of this Element.

Download or read book Hinduism Accepts Allah written by Sadhu Ratan Puri and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-26 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book in does not put any religion in the negative, but only convincingly puts forward an argument that in Hinduism also, God is formless. Many of you are not aware that idol worshipping in Hinduism was no there in the beginning when the religion began and it was added later by several sages for reasons I have given below. Personally, I believe the whole system of current worship in Hinduism would have been different if people had the capability to understand and the subject of Advaita Vedanta. The knowledge of which is above all other Vedas. In Hinduism knowledge of Vedas is not the highest knowledge, but the highest knowledge is the knowledge of self, as knowledge about self is the only way we can know about the Supreme. Understanding that Hinduism got drifted away from the original worship of formless god to idol worship is very easy. Just look at Saint Sai Baba of Shirdi who lived a simple life just a century ago and is today worshipped by millions of Hindus with lot of temples dedicated to him. This is an example of how Hinduism got drifted away in thousands of years it existed from the original concept of formless one supreme God. We will also have a detailed explanation of energy, which in Hinduism was the other half of God, also created by him and known as goddesses or Shakti. The subject of energy has been explained in detail in the book, because the author states if anything cannot be classified as energy then it is only the one and only one supreme God. The two combined and give us all the illusion which is the world we see and believe. There is a chapter which compares science as just another religion and searching for something within the illusion. In Vishnu Purana, we find Lord Vishnu is praised immensely and Lord Shiva is treated as secondary. But if you look at Shiva Purana, Lord Shiva is immensely praised and the same goes with Devi Bhagavata. This was done to create in the aspirant an intense unquestionable faith in his favorite deity. Because in Hinduism we may worship the same God in any form that we believe. If I have mentioned God as him then that should not be taken as a masculine character but used only because in Hinduism energy is considered in feminine form. We all know that energy does not physically look like a female even though it is considered as feminine by religious principles.

Download or read book A Hindu Theology of Liberation written by Anantanand Rambachan and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses Hindu Advaita Ved?nta as a philosophy of social justice for the modern world. This expansive and accessible work provides an introduction to the Hindu tradition of Advaita Ved?nta and brings it into discussion with contemporary concerns. Advaita, the non-dual school of Indian philosophy and spirituality associated with ?a?kara, is often seen as “other-worldly,” regarding the world as an illusion. Anantanand Rambachan has played a central role in presenting a more authentic Advaita, one that reveals how Advaita is positive about the here and now. The first part of the book presents the hermeneutics and spirituality of Advaita, using textual sources, classical commentary, and modern scholarship. The book’s second section considers the implications of Advaita for ethical and social challenges: patriarchy, homophobia, ecological crisis, child abuse, and inequality. Rambachan establishes how Advaita’s non-dual understanding of reality provides the ground for social activism and the values that advocate for justice, dignity, and the equality of human beings. “Rambachan has written an original, creative, and provocative book that will assure that Hinduism has a greater voice in the general arena of interreligious dialogue.” — Paul F. Knitter, Union Theological Seminary “This is an important contribution to the advancement of constructive work in Hindu theology, comparative theology, and the study of South Asian religious traditions. It has the potential to revolutionize how scholars view Hinduism generally, and Advaita Ved?nta in particular.” — Jeffery D. Long, Elizabethtown College

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 2nd Part of the Series 'I Am Consciousness"We highly recommend that you read the 1st part before commencing this one.If you are seeking God or your true Self, then you must have already heard the cliche sayings such as, "You are the Universe", "You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop", We are all One" etc. But mostly when asked to show or explain these sayings without blind faith becomes almost impossible. This part deals with the understanding that you are One with the Universe. The examples, practical situations and wisdom of the Upanishads are presented in very simple and easy to understand words, woven into an interesting story. Part 1 of the series, (See God With Open Eyes), explains what the Supreme Being is and how to see it everywhere, every time and in everything. By the end of this little book, you, the reader, will without a doubt, know that you are One with the Universe and that the Supreme Being is nothing but your true identity, which is Brahman. The Upanishads message is very clear and precise. It doesn't ask the seeker to have blind faith or believe in anything without logically explaining it. Vedanta is always true 'here and now' which means that any message of the Upanishads can be put to the test 'here and now' to experience it for yourself. This series is put in an interesting story format for easier understanding. Join David (From Part One) as he finally arrives at the Himalayan Village and meets Swamiji who, in a loving and passionate way through practical examples, clear logic and reasoning shows him and the others who have arrived that same day how each and every one of us is one with the Supreme Being - Brahman. He answers David's questions beyond doubt and firmly establishes the great saying from the Vedas, "Aham Brahma Asmi" which means, "I Am Brahman."

Download or read book Revelation Rationality Knowledge Truth written by Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad and published by Islam International Publications Ltd. This book was released on 1998-06-30 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any divide between revelation and rationality, religion and logic has to be irrational. If religion and rationality cannot proceed hand in hand, there has to be something deeply wrong with either of the two. Does revelation play any vital role in human affairs? Is not rationality sufficient to guide man in all the problems which confront him? Numerous questions such as these are examined with minute attention. All major issues which intrigue the modern mind are attempted to be incorporated in this fascinatingly comprehensive statute. Whatever the intellectual or educational background of the reader, this book is bound to offer him something of his interest. It examines a very diverse and wide range of subjects including the concept of revelation in different religions, history of philosophy, cosmology, extraterrestrial life, the future of life on earth, natural selection and its role in evolution. It also elaborately discusses the advent of the Messiah, or other universal reformers, awaited by different religions. Likewise, many other topical issues which have been agitating the human mind since time immemorial are also incorporated. The main emphasis is on the ability of the Quran to correctly discuss all important events of the past, present and future from the beginning of the universe to its ultimate end. Aided by strong incontrovertible logic and scientific evidence, the Quran does not shy away from presenting itself to the merciless scrutiny of rationality. It will be hard to find a reader whose queries are not satisfactorily answered. We hope that most readers will testify that this will always stand out as a book among books – perhaps the greatest literary achievement of this century.

Download or read book God and Self Realization Scientific and Spiritual View written by Dharam Vir Mangla and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revised & enlarged edition of the book "God and Self-Realization" (Scientific and Spiritual View) 2002 edition. Although God is one & Truth is one, but there are many misconceptions between the Spirituality & Sciences. None has synthesized both to remove the differences. Now the latest Cosmological researches are accepting the evidences and the hand of an infinite intelligent and powerful Almighty God in the creation of the universe. I noticed that many authors who are neither spiritual nor have enough knowledge of yoga, sciences & spirituality are creating misconceptions and confusing the readers. This book is a rare attempt to remove those misconceptions and confusions. The whole humanity is now haunted by so many unanswered questions and none is to help us. Is it not funny that there are many religions and many authors who neither believes in God (Spirit) nor in soul and none has proved the non-existence of God and spirit, but still they call themselves the most spiritual? To equate an Avatara of God to a saint or a non-believer is a grievous error due to ignorance. This book has the sole aim to clarify the concept of God and to create a firm faith in God. Author has tried his best not to twist any spiritual, scientific and historical fact (as it is a common practice) to please/ displease the people of a religion or a country. The truth should never be twisted to please someone for a selfish aim. Author is fortunate that he was born in India, which has given birth to many great religions of the world. The spiritual knowledge of the great Vedas & Scriptures is available in India without doing much efforts. Author has the blessings of some great saints like Sri Amar Jyoti Babaji, Mahavatar Babaji and Sri Sathya Sai Babaji. Generally, the great scientists of the west are deprived of such opportunity. Author is M.Sc. M.Ed. PGDCA, got his master's degrees from university of Delhi. He has scientific-cum-spiritual mind. He joined his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Delhi University in 1969. For the whole life author devoted his energies in the pursuit of God, spiritual studies and yoga practices. He is a scholar of Science, Mathematics, Education and Philosophy and has the ability to correlate Sciences, Scriptures, and God. This book is based upon his vast yogic experience and studies. This book is useful to all categories of men: believers, non-believers and the wavering minds about God. After reading this book, your philosophy will definitely change. Your narrow concept of God will be broadened. You life will become purposeful, not that you have just come to this world accidentally.
