Hindu Vedic Scriptures affirm this: Everything and everyone in this world is GOD, but its just that the individual doesnot realize this truth. God is not limited to a particular place or location or a person, but is an allpervading divinity that has no beginning, no end or no middle and is existent with in the creation as well as beyond the creation. Due to the illusion caused by Maya or Saitan or Satan or the duality of the nature, the ever present all pervading divinity appears to be divides and independent and this is an illusion, while there is only one thing when you are higly enlightened. Below thing applies to individuals who are in the process of regaining the initial state of oneness: 1. in the initial stages, the individual(be it human or animal or any other individuality) perceives the GOD or Divinity as some power that is located in a place or limited to a body and thus see GOD OR DIVINITY in a temple or a Mosque or in a Church or even in an ideal or principle as in the case of Atheist. 2.In the intermediary stages, the same individual perceives oneself as part and parcel of the universalness or ALL PERVADING DIVINITY OR GOD. Examples of this stage are like seeing or perceiving GOD as Mother or as Father or as a Master or some other entity who includes the individuality. 3.In the third and final stages, the individual perceives no difference between the ALL PERVADING DIVINITY OR GOD AND THE SELF.
RE:WHAT IS GOD? KNOW TRUTH ABOUT GOD. DONOT FIGHT IN THE NAME OF GOD LIKE FOOLS

CONTINUED: This is the highest state and anyone who attains this state can be referred to as GOD, since even though there is a body for this individual, the individual doesnot have a perception that he/she is is a body or limited, but is an unlimitedness and all pervading and ever living one.
Above states are based on a time base. Where, sometimes, the individual can experience the above stage 2 or stage 3 even for a moment if not all the time. But, still this kind of people can be seen as being known of GOD. But those who can at will attain the above 2 or 3 stages can be called as the ones who are free from the illusion of the maya or creation or Satan or Saitan. but those who are in stage 3 irrespective of time are the ones who are no different than GOD and should be treated as ALL PERVADING DIVINITY THYSELF. We see above stages in the lives of saints of all religions since time immemorial.
IF YOU LOOK AT TEH LIVES OF SAINTS OF ALL RELIGIONS WHO ATTAINED 3rd LEVEL OF ENLIGHTMENT, YOU WILL FIND TO YOUR AMAZEMENT, THAT THEY ALL SPOKE OF SAME THING CALLED GOD OR PARAMATMA OR ALLAH OR HEAVENLY FATHER OR THE UNIVERSAL POWER. SO, DONOT FIGHT LIKE A FOOL IN THE NAME OF GOD. SINCE WE DONOT HAVE REACHED THE DESTINATION YET, WE ARE NOT REALIZING THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH ABOU THE EXISTENCE OF ALL PERVDING DIVINITY ADN ARE FIGHTING AMONG US. HOW FOOLISH IS THIS?
EVEN MODERN SCIENCE IS AFFIRMING THIS TRUTH BY DECLARING THAT ALL MATTER IS NOTHING BUT ALL PERVADING INFINITE ENERGY
The incident that led to Lord Ganesha having Elephant head is as below: Lord Shiva goes out of his abode, called Kailasa. Parvati Mata stays at home and being alone creates a idol and gives it life. This was the original Ganesha and he is given a full power of a normal person. When Parvati mata goes to take bath, Ganesha sits outside and watches that noone enters the home. At that time, Lord Shiva also doesnot know that this baby is the kid of Parvati mata and tus his own. Ganesha also at that point doesnot know that Lord Shiva is the husband of Parvati Mata. Lord Shiva tries to enter his wifes room ut Ganesha objects and a friction occurs, which angers Lord Shiva and severs the head of Ganesha. But when Parvati mata comes out after a while, she tells everythig and asks life of Ganesha back. Lord shiva at that tie also realizes that one of his devotee, an elephant, is seeking his solace and he then sends his people to get its head and then gives Ganesha life. This way, he satisfies 2 people, one is his own wife and the other is his devotee, an Elephant, and thus Ganesha will end up having elephant head. But for this Lord Shiva accords Lord Ganesha the infinite knowledge and other powers and even gives control over the life forces like negative or positive forces of life. Since Lord Ganesha is the controller of some life forces, this is the reason why Hindus pray to Lord Ganesha to remove any unwanted negatvie forces acting subtly against them before starting an event e.t.c

To show some things ot the Humanity or to make them learm some things, ALL PERVADING DIVINITY that came to the world sometimes restricts their universalness and acts as a humans with restrictions. Similar is the life od Lord Jesus Christ. he knows definitely that he is going to be betrayed by a fellow follower and knows that he will be crucified. But he accepted it because he forst of all, came to he world to demostrate the very fact that non-violence is very powerful than eye for eye strategy any time and in the long run.
So, sometimes, DIVINITY takes service from fellow livving things just to make them feel that they are closer to GOD as well, and this includes LORD RAMA accepting services of Monkeys or Lord Moses taking helo from plague organisms e.t.c.

Hahaha...You are twisting stories...Sridhar..Ganesha was the dirt (Mael)from Parwati body....Can u consider the dirt from parwati body as GOD? wat a foolish imagination.. you urself said that he was killed by shiva..so u mean to say that ur LORD Shiva is a murderer of Parvati Bodygaurd. LOL...he should be hanged till death as per ur thinking 1 GOD killed another.. But LORD Ganesha is so weak that he cannot save himself from LORD shiva..This means that LORD Ganesha is weak...So does all GOD as every1 dies in the end...Pls use your sense and dnt be so complex in knowing ur own GOD (1 and only 1) who created this world ..

Why did the (1 and only 1) GOD who created this world, hasnt been able to make all to follow 1 and only 1 religion. So you have your own beliefs and we have our own.
What should Rama have done? Left his bows and arrows as evidence of his existence so that UPA Govt could verify it????
Israel is doing excavations even to find the quarry from which came the rocks for King Herod's tomb.While we Indians are trying to disprove that Ram's existence,that he is only there in grandma's tales.

forget about what 80% of hindus think . I am sure 100% of all sane out there know that are trying to act too smart. If you have real queries then try to solve yourself ,read some hindu books then come to conclusion. For any thing else go to www.google.com and search in there. Bye and enjoy your evening.
The Absolute is Changeless. Everything else is transitory, untrue. We believe that there is a changeless reality inside us. That is divinity. When we say "Aham Bhahmasmi" we acknowledge that the only thing that is real about me is the divinity, everything else is illusion.

I am a hindu by birth but an atheistic/agnostic person by mentality, I dont believe in any divinity in any thing. Why don't you reveal your identity as that scoundrel Periyar's follower.
