| Hindu concept of God. Hinduism is sometimes called a polytheistic religion, but strictly speaking, calling it henotheistic would be more accurate. The Hindu scriptures depict God both as a personal being (as in the Judeo-Christian religions) and also as a principle. According to the Bhagavata Purana (a sacred book), the same Absolute is understood in three ways--as Brahman (the nonpersonal, all-pervading aspect of the Supreme), as the Paramātmā (the Oversoul or Supersoul, the aspect of God within the heart of all beings), and as Bhagavān, the Absolute in the transcendent personal feature. |

| Poly - henotheistic religious beliefs The root 'henotic' is in reference to unifying. I agree that the gods mentioned in the hindu texts, especially in the Gita, explain the rational sense of god and his aspect to have avatars or special forms. Having forms of people would be Krishna's duty. As he is a little baby stealing the 'ghi' or butter that has been whipped and placed in jars, the baby has the sense of being a little theif. He is cuddly and happy and always likes to be approached. He is so black that his pictures have him purple, which is a color of principle and health. I think it also mentions Vishnu and the turtle where he tries to destroy everything and the turtle steps on the water and makes land, in some respect it is nice but we act like a detroyer god and bomb the land. Allah is a difficult charachter, yet he is kind and loving to people. He just likes it when people protect his body and not necessarily his name because it is racked with destruction everywhere, as long as people stand by him and protect his things and his temples he is happy. Kashmir is a difficult place indeed and should be handled with respect. It is hard to find a mean or a curve beneath which would dissolve the tension. BANGH as it is called could have a reducing effect, use with care.
Back to the ideals, people would have that there are two possible ways of constructing their lives. Moksha and Dharma. I think that I live a little of both. This is a hard to describe life if you live part of your life in Dharma and some of it in Moksha, hurting yourself and generally letting people talk about how you are worthless and pointing the finger and laughing at you while you are learning and while you have been living Dharma. Such a life is called education. Education can culminate to the ability for people to get a catch on good life or it can deny you the chance to prove yourself. If you are chosen by submission and character then you are proven to have a good educated career. Have you no 'can do' then you will have no 'have'. Much of life that is learned would have the aspect of simplicity and deriving it with complicated rivalries and definitions, people would have the ability to trust the findings. Too much trust breeds something called complacency which in an ostentatious manner is making a mistake and telling other people to screw off and look up the answer which is that you made a mistake, so answer is: humble as we already are. Correction: try to start what you are doing and look up along the way, how rich how lapis lazuli for people to listen to your voice. I would rather have sex.
Getting back to the ideals of the Gita, I think that reincarnation is a possible factor of birth. One would have to submit to several mothers in the first place and find that there are people to love you and people to hate you. I think that the gestation time is about 4 to 5 days for a person within a mother that hates you and up to a month with a mother that loves you. I think that the total amount of mothers ranges in the 20's. When the final mother is chosen, actually determined, then the birth is 23. So you are born, 23 times in all forms of gestation starting with your full birth at about 4kg and after that the following 22 are births are from small to 4kg. You are asked a range of questions, if you are a friend of God and if you are going to help the middle east and how you are going to allow them to pray and what you are going to say to christians and if you trust the one true God and if you are Jewish that is silent, and if you are nice that is all.
The main worry is with Islam. While I wait and pray, people from the Islamic world are caring, patient and willing to let mistakes happen, this is what goes with praying. Islam prays to the same God that Christians do and Jews as well. The difficulty is application of jobs and work, how the heck do we not say 'heck' and still make products and live well with one another. There are too many people then there is a realignment and that makes things 'off' a bit in the universe, planets come close to implosion and gigantic events happen but none of them too dangerous. They want to make sure that there is order on Earth. How to tell people to stop sexing their children is an African thing that people don't understand. Will children ever leave the home and get out into the world or we are all African. The main factor is that we stay out of parents afairs.
The main factor that I am trying to explain is the matter of Vishnu, who likes to stay around grave yards and piles of bones. Vishnu likes the factor of death that exists which makes us mainly an Vedic society. Much of the world is infested with death and killing so much that they have forgotten that Vishnu, when left with nothing to do is playing with his wife but she rarely gets any sexual pleasure because Vishnu is out saving the world. Kind of ironic, though simply Vedic. If we wish to be arayans we must understand that there was nobody who knew what arayans looked like or were. Nobody knew if their eyes were hazel with a blue corona, or if they had white skin or black skin, or if they had dishwater blonde hair or black hair, what were they? we don't know, only the formality can be concerning the wish for less death. Saving the world is a delicate business. So what happens to me is not me bringing it on to myself, it is meant because my elders said I should have the poison brought to me in the first place. I do not care because I can survive it, others cannot. The decision was made during 'decision protocol' so that there will be a small realignment.

| corrections... It was Shiva that stood on Vishnu's avatar, the turtle. The avatar was named Kurma, which is the land creator.
Sorry for offending people, I also was afraid of eating cow after this, as well as pork, they seem not too much more than offending to people. This seems not to have any connection, bit by bit, the love that is found for one's body, can be translated to one's own relationships with other people.
In reference to the statement, "They want to make sure that there is order on Earth. " it is in reference to Islam.
I Found that the reference to Vishnu in graveyards, actually is Shiva, again I apologize for the mistake.
Shiva had reason to believe that their relationship was merely sensual, yet he is the creator and destroyer, Vishnu is the giver of life to the sun and the morning, he is Indra.
There are many views of what a great and powerful one is, some of us, yes and I included do not like saying who that power is. I believe that there is a power that is above us and I believe that the way that we are living is to make the world a better place for us to make sure that we are responsible for each other. I believe that the way that we are believing in that higher power is that we are Jewish.
