    Questions about Hinduism! Let's Discuss!

    I see many, probably all Hindus worshipping the Ishwara/personal form of God (Visnu, Siva, Ganesh, etc), but why doesn't anyone worship the actual Brahman (not Brahma) in itself since he is the source of everything?

    Atman and Brahman

    After reading the following description from Wikipedias page on Advaita Vedanta and atman, I am confused. How can our self be God, the creator? And not just a part of Brahman, but the complete Brahman itself. 'The soul or the self(Atman) is identical with Brahman. It is not a part of...

    ::::Prophet Mohammad prophesized in Hindu Scripture::::

    Regarding the orignal post of the prophecy of Muhammed as a demon, is that the accurate translation because I had a conversation with a Muslim who gave me a different translation of Muhammed in the Bhavishya Puranaa that did not mention he is a reincarnation of Trisurapura.

    new Sikhs

    This was a recent thread on what is classed to be a Sikh. Personally, I think it is one who follows the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib, but if you get baptized as a Sikh, I guess you have to wear the 5 K's as being compulsary. However I know many ''Sikhs'' who wear turbans, and are not...

    Concept of God

    Does that have to do with Brahaman appearing as Ishwara and all his manfifestations under the influence of Maya from the people, which is considered false? I think Christians refer to Jesus and fully God and fully man at the same time, which is kind of confusing.

However, in comparing it to the whole of Hinduism I don't understand the actual concept of God. The following is Verse 3, Chapter...
