Well, Hinduism isn't really a polytheistic religion. It's more monotheistic. When folks pay tribute to certain Hindu "gods", it's more like they're paying tribute to a specific aspect of God, since God is so vast and so overwhelming that it's impossible for a human mind to comprehend its entirity. So, they break it down into parts. In a way, its like looking at the ocean. From where you're standing when on the beach, you can see and comprehend a part of the ocean, but you can't fathom the whole thing. It's deeper and bigger than your brain can really completely wrap around just looking at it from Earth.

I'm also intrigued about how so many people misunderstand Karma. Many people think that it's a "what goes around, comes around" kind of belief, but in reality, it's more about life's lessons. Your soul, over thousands of lifetimes, needs to be taught various lessons. Karma is what teaches them. If you don't learn a lesson the first time it's taught, Karma will teach it again, harder the second time, and so on and so forth.

I'll write more on the subject a little later on. Gotta' do some dishes. Peace!
greendove Reviewed by greendove on . Hinduism Yah I've noticed theres been alot of the same old, "how can you believe in god, give me proof threads" , so I decided to mix it up, I've just recently learned about hinduism, and its just a crazy religion, I believe alot of there teachings and concepts are just, I dunno fascinating I guess.

I like it I've veen been Rating: 5
