The correct categorization is not "Vaishnava, Shaiva, Agni", but rather, "Sattvik, Tamasic, Rajasic".View attachment 13261 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puranas#Mahapurana
I suppose all of them are revered by all Hindus.
It's a Vaishnava doctrine that has been accepted by your Adi Shankara and later Advaitins.
Make it clear to them that you are not here to ruffle their feathers.
Yes, you are right, I should have done that. Thank you.

Brahman isn't an individual, personal deity in line with the popular Abrahamic conceptions. The questions are just not applicable outside of forcing in Abrahamic universalism and classical monotheism where it doesn't belong.

If you mean various views about Brahman, then you are correct. As for many other things (or perhaps all things), Hindu views on Brahman will differ from one person to another.
Well, different views. Our friend Vinayaka is a Shaiva. Do you think he is of 'tamasic' nature?
Perhaps he did. But how does that make it essential for me to have the same views?

The question is not as to how the Hinduism people view Brahman, the real question is , what/how Brahman views the Hinduism people? The dominance is of the Brahman, not of the Hinduism. Please

Thanks for agreeing with me, if you did as your words "If you mean various views about Brahman, then you are correct." construe.

It was already pointed out that Brahman is not a person or even an entity of any kind. Brahman is what is. I grant it's not an easy concept to wrap one's head around.
We can't quote from Brahman. Its not like that.
Someone saying they have no intention of ruffling feathers doesn't mean a lot, if feathers are ruffled. Not how it works.
Kind of like telling someone "no offense, but ... ".

If Brahman did not tell about Him then who told about Him? Please name the person who got the information about Him. Please

There is no person.

No, it's the Hindu view of the world that you are never going to understand, I'm afraid. But that's okay.

Read the Vedas and Upanishads.
sarvam khalvidam brahma - Chandogya Upanishad 3.14.1, "All this is Brahman".
And you were already told the ancient rishis transcendentally received this knowledge, which was eventually written down.
There are multiple different authors describing, and sharing stories about Brahman across time....
It is an evolutionary understanding of God, so you can't say one person came up with it, you can't claim one understanding is right, it is constantly evolving with newer revelations made by all of us daily.
In Hinduism all things within the creation, are there as Brahman makes them... For me it is easiest to equate as Brahman is the CPU, with us in the Matrix.
So when we have religious texts, or avatars, these are all aspects of Brahman, helping us understand parts of its self.
At least that's my understanding of some of it.

A clearer understanding (and more humility) here, other than the word 'make'. 'Emanate' or 'extend' works better.

Who told the authors about Brahman? How did they see/observe or get to know about Him. If there is no source of knowledge about Him they simply don't know Him or know anything of Him.
The Evolution could be a phenomenon of the Authors, not of Brahman. Absolutely not.
Brahman is not a construct of humans, humans are a construct of Him.
