This creation is a DREAM-CITY in the infinite consciousness Brahman. All the universes are manifestations of Brahman. All the entities including gods in our universe are also manifestations of Brahman. Brahman is the source energy. Why do you think the gods and sages did penances/tapas, to draw energy from the source field Brahman. Your atman/soul might one day become a god or you might be a god on earth due to some karma. It is said the atman that is Hanuman will become the next Brahma in our universe in the next manifestation of the universe.

You should try secular literature in matters of spirituality.The richness and quality that modern literature has to offer is far greater than religious literature,in my opinion.

When someone writes an post he/she retains the idea of a user in his/her brain that how a user can understand it. Thus that’s why this post is great. Thanks!

In reply to Amit Misra.

Thanks Amit ji for this feedback. For me it was kind of a paradox. Also, now that you have raised an interesting point I would certainly delve into it. Yes, my reason to write this post was very basic and from a perspective of a background where worship is done with a monotonous reasoning as part of common household. But as I wrote, it is just a start for me and I have a long way to go to explore more about Hinduism!!!

Going by the title, II had thought this to be a review or commentary on the topic.

I would not comment anything on the content as it is your personal opinion. Just would like to add that Atheism is part of Hinduism and not contradictory to it. The school is a bit involved and definitely not the focus of this post. It is perfectly possible not to believe in God and yet be a Hindu. In other words, the two terms are not opposite. You may refer to any treatise on Indian Philosophy.

Agree with you a 100%. I feel it would be more apt to be explained (By family) what the gods symbolise and stand for, rather being nudged on the path of blind worship with the thought of ‘God will make everything okay’

Hinduism like all other religions has depth and there is room for contemplation and exploration . It manifests in different forms even in its diversity it provides deep understanding of a godhead , our ishtadeva who among the pantheon of various forms or the supreme guides and protects us . Life and death are both in his control we just strive to make it worthwhile .
