Engulfed in a midst of stammering nonsense and
enshrined in the malevolent mayhem of injustice. Sedated by a barrage of babble
emitting from the narcissistic nincompoop, the fat orange man. Defenders and bringers
of the truth are hated by our president and many other prominent world leaders
across the globe. The bone-saw of inequality has literally murdered the truth.

All facets of reality and fantasy are weaved into the
core of knowledge, the quarry or our fears and the infinite realms of our
imagination.
The ancient text of the Mahabharata has spurned a quest
for the definitive truth and superlative justice. Swim in the oceans of your
imagination and be fascinated by the mystic tales of the Hindu gods and goddesses.
The super soul, supreme being, great spirit, all opulent
one, the ultimate reality or “The One,” has countless names and has ignited a
vast array of believes and intrigues. Hinduism, unlike all the other major
religions does not recruit, was founded by many people, and has an enormous
array of books as compared to just one manuscript. Hinduism is also the only major
religion that is inclusive, the Hindu’s welcome all believes and non-believes.
Strive to be a good
person and practice non-violence is a strong theme in Hinduism, while other religions
preach, be a good person or else suffer the consequences of eternal
torture, for offenses as minor as not bowing and praying to the quote unquote right
god.
The lifetime of Brahma, Ganesha, Bumba, Muhammad,
Allah, God, or any other name given the great spirit is 311.1 trillion human
years Swami Achuthananda said in his easy read, “The Ascent of Vishnu and the
Fall of Brahma the Galaxy of Hindu Gods Book 2” This is based on Hindu math of
the gods from more than 5,000 years ago. The point I am making is that even in
the days of old, the Hindu’s have admired science.
Change in the environment is nothing new. Once upon a
time, the Earth was a ball of ice. The Holy Trinity of the Hindus nailed it
thousands of years ago, Creation, Preservation, and Destruction. When all life
is destroyed, it comes back, and the preservation begins again until another
form of destruction arises, and the Holy Trinity begins again and again until
end of time itself, then ultimate the judgement, look out now!
Hindu religion
and philosophy adhere to scientific fact. Once upon a time there was nothing. If
you go back in time far enough, there is a beginning somewhere.
Time and the universe were here before the gods, who
really knows? The gods came afterwards with the creation of the universe. Who
then really knows whence it was risen? Hindu’s focus on why were here, not how.
(Rig-Veda, the oldest text known to humans)
No matter what your believes or non-believes are,
Stephen King of all people has the ultimate explanation for death. When we die,
there is either absolute nothingness, or there is something more, and if there
is more what is it?
Indian mythology is my favorite, because the poetry from
more than 5,0000 years ago is poignant and often precise.
The human mind is restless, unsteady, turbulent, wild,
stubborn, and as hard to master as the wind. (Bhagavad-Gita text from 1,000s of
years ago translated by Swami Prabhavananda)
I’ve read several books on Hinduism and have yet to
read a single sentence or phrase that condones violence, and the books about
their gods stress the importance of each god. No god is more important then the
other one.
In the beginning there was one Soul, but alone it was
not happy, it desired a second. So, it grew until it took the shape of a man
and woman locked in embrace. And so, the One Atna (god) divided into two parts;
man and woman, and from that pair came this universe. (Ancient Satapatha text
from Krishna Dharma’s book “Beauty, Power & Grace the Book of Hindu
Goddesses.”)
“Beauty, Power & Grace the Book of Hindu Goddesses”
simply sparks my imagination.
The goddesses Saraswati is a luminous woman of splendid
beauty, the epitome of perfect learning and destroys the darkness of ignorance Dharma
wrote. The swift and eloquent writing of ancient and modern Hindu manuscript has
imbibed my creativity.
Human beings seek personal and spiritual fulfillment through
a variety of different paths, and the Hindu religion and philosophy encourages this.
Acquire wisdom and seek understanding. (The Bible, Proverbs) Hinduism
encourages us to seek out many sources of information, including other
religions, and to be open to new ideas, while not sacrificing our values.
A solid 4.5-star rating for these Hindu books
pictured.
