Concept of God according to Hindu Scriptures:
by Mohd Younus on Mar 23, 2008 05:50 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

UPANISHADS:

The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus.

The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God:

"Ekam evadvitiyam"
"He is One only without a second."
[Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1

"Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."
"Of Him there are neither parents nor lord."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]2

"Na tasya pratima asti"
"There is no likeness of Him."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3

The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:

"Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."

"His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4

it is the power of the mind that we bow to in the form of an idol or a picture or a stone or a tree...

concentration cannot be had on the abstract...

and please correct yourself... the vedic scriptures are not against idol worship... they treat all methods of worship as different paths to the same god...!!!!
