[HamsaYogi]

keep your eyes peeled... there may be someone out there even today. why would God be partial to one era or another, when all eras have sincere seekers?

[NFah43Bk]

God is what you consciousness perceives him/her/it to be..

just love GOD.

Om Namha Shivay

[JaiSanaathanaDharma]

kingkhan2, your statements are not coherent and there is no single decisive point coming out of them. Some observations: "Vedic ppl and Hindus of this era" - that is an oxymoron. A Sanaathana Dharmik (the correct term for the misleading "Hindu") is always Vedic. If one is not Vedic, he is not a Sanaathana Dharmik.

"freedom to do immorality" - what does this mean? Do you consider being immoral freedom? It only binds one further into birth cycles.

[himalay7]

god is both formed and formless and can appear to the devotee either way

[KINOPRAVDA23]

That is not true...there are still people who follow the Vedic way..Hinduism is a philosophy, very enlightened..but everyone cannot make sense of it..so idol worship is one of the 1st stages..but Rishi do exist, in Bengal, from where Vivekananda originates, who follow the Vedic way..

In a sense every religion is connected..but Hinduism is actually more a philosophy than a religion..

KingKhan.did you see all the videos in This section of Vivekananda's vids.(one about idol worship)I dont understand people who have not even read quran and the Hadidth fully come and comment here just on one verse from the quran"There is only one GOD and and he is formless" The purpose is to find and realize the path is specific to an individual,it is impossible for all to use the exact same path and reach realization.you would not know as you must be a fanatic Muslim and chauvinist.(cont)

[NFah43Bk]

if you love god in some form he will appear to you in that form if you love him in an all pervading consciousness you will experience him as one..

[kingkhan2]

That proves hindus dont follow vedic rishis. the more u read vedas more u realise vedic ppl were completely different from hindus of this era. they were more like middle eastern jews and arabs who believed in monotheism and war against injustice. fighting battles were encouraged, women were not given freedom to do immorality. may be after puranas were written, hindus become more liberal.and nudity,idol worshipping prevailed in india after that.

god is not formless you see trees grass it had a form but the one who made them how can he be formless
