Happy Raam Navmi to all

[Adwitiya]

Om is the central power, the origin of all things, in simple words, its the "head office" (pardon my example guys).
From Om originates Trimurti or 3 powers, Bramha , vishnu ,Mahesh(shiva )
They have been assigned duties to create the universe (Bramha-the creator) and manage it. In this creation system, the many gods(devtas) are created as heavenly powers along with the entire Universe as we know it.
I am not going into details, and using simple language for understanding.
The avatars are earthly forms taken by Gods to provide divine intervention to defeat evil in the world.
Now, Vishnu had 9 avatars, and Rama and Krishna were amongst them.
Some others were Narsimha, Vaaman, Parshuram (name of one of pdf members lol).
Lol, i hope my post helps, its a bit of an alphabet soup now.

Actually there are 10. 9 have already taken place and one which is known as kalki avataar is about to take place in future.

sir thats the best post from you. totally unexpected i thought that you have great knowledge of Islam but sir really like your knowledge of hinduism also. Really appreciated.

this one is from me for u sir

Thanks for the chocolate; Thanks to my parents, who always encouraged me to read about different religions beside my own. The very objective or the reason of all the religions is one, to make you a good, a useful human being; but like there exist many roads to reach to a place, so the different religions are like those different roads which eventually take you to (if you follow) the destination.

Oops, accepted but its Kalki, i thing it was a typing error on your side. People might confuse it for Godess Kali.

God was always perfect. he never asked us to kill our fellow species. he never asked us to do somethng wrong. It is our human interpretation that we fight on his name.

Someday i fear he/she may get pissed off with all the BS we are doing to his creation and will kick us real hard.

There are actually many incarnations. in fact we have 10 incarnations for more vishnu of which Ram and krishna are the most important ones. Apart from those Hanuman is the re incarnation of shiva.


Om or Aum is of paramount importance in Hinduism. This symbol is a sacred syllable representing Brahman, the impersonal Absolute of Hinduism — omnipotent, omnipresent, and the source of all manifest existence. Brahman, in itself, is incomprehensible; so a symbol becomes mandatory to help us realize the Unknowable. Om, therefore, represents both the unmanifest (nirguna) and manifest (saguna) aspects of God. That is why it is called pranava, to mean that it pervades life and runs through our prana or breath.

This is how aum is represented

It is made up of alphabet in Sanskit/hindi
99% of the recitations start with aum of what we call it as mantras. Some times i wonder if those mantras used to invoke weapons like brahmastra (equal to nukes of today) in the times of mahabharata and ramayana were kind of voice intiated vocal passwords for those weapons.


Please note there is diffrence between these 3
Here Brahman means universe...
Brahma is the god
Brahmin is a caste

excellent. so attributes of your Om can be compared with attributes of our Allah. both dont have any image. then we get angels and you get gods. then we get prophets (may Allah's peace be upon them all) and you get reincarnations of gods who come to bring the mankind on right track.

the only difference then is we only pray to Allah where as you also pray to gods other than Om. and we dont have any image of angels where as you have images of gods lik that of Durga.

correct me if i have gone wrong anywhere.

The only difference is that we pray to the avatars (reincarnations), "Trimurti" and heavenly "devtas' (angels) too, as a means to reach "GOD". Its something like a heirachy.
There are many ways one can interpret this, but in simple terms, in my view its something like this.

yes very well said

But for the bold part when we pray to any god all the prayers start with OM. So when we pray to any god we include om in that. So we first remember the om and then move to the specific god. every mantra starts with om and has recitation multiple times.


On the lighter side (hope this will something understand better with a smile)
We humans are selfish creatures we always ask allah for something or the other. thats how we humans are. the difference is you ask it to one almighty and we have departments assigned who ultimately report to supreme being and say it something like we remember the ultimate being (aum in the mantras) and then we bow and pray to you(gods here). now then starts the selfish part.(not in mantras of course creation of our human mind)

but there is one diffrence here that there is no one equivalent to satan in hinduism.

In hinduism all are equal to god. there are good guys and then there are bad guys. gods dont interfere till the balance of nature and universe is not disturbed

For example god gives the nuclear technology to both. good guys will make nuclear power plants and bad guys will make nuclear weapons and thats obivious and will threaten good guys. then god will have to take sides to restore the balance.

Even the greatest villains in the Hinduism history were the greatest devotees like ravana who is considered as the most knowledgeable person ever. he was the greatest devotee of Shiva ever.
