Brahman on hindulaisuuteen liittyvä käsite, joka tarkoittaa maailman sielua, näkyvän maailman taustalla olevaa näkymätöntä perimmäistä totuutta. Brahmanin katsotaan olevan muuttumaton, ääretön ja kaikkialla läsnä oleva, sukupuoleton, kaikkivoipa ja kaikkitietävä. On muistettava, että hienot filosofiset erittelyt ovat kaukana Intian väestön lukutaidottoman valtaosan käsityksistä. Kansanuskossa elää aidosti polyteismi, jossa elämän eri osa-alueilla on omat nimikkojumalansa. Aikaa myöten jumalpantheoniin ilmestyi myös monia paikalliskulttien jumaluuksia ja mytologisen kirjallisuuden kuvailemia hahmoja. Kullakin jumaluudella on oma kehityshistoriansa, ja usein erilaiset hahmot yhdistyvät jälleen uudeksi jumaluudeksi. Vielä kaleidoskooppimaisemmaksi kuvaston tekee se, että jumalat voivat manifestoitua useissa eri muodoissa, monin eri nimin. Mutta hindulaisuudessa on myös puhtaasti monoteistisia suuntauksia, joissa kaikkeus on jumala.
Brahman is the concept of the Godhead found in Hinduism. Brahman is the unchanging, infinite, immanent, and transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all matter, energy, time, space, being, and everything beyond in this universe. The nature of Brahman is described as transpersonal, personal and impersonal by different philosophical schools.
This Supreme Cosmic Spirit or Absolute Reality called Brahman is said to be eternal, genderless, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, and ultimately indescribable in the human language. It can be at best described as infinite Being, infinite Consciousness and infinite Bliss. Brahman is regarded as the source and essence of the material universe. It is pure being.
Shaivites, the worshippers of Shiva consider Shiva as the Ultimate Reality. According to [Shaivitian] scriptures, there is nothing but him (Sarvavyapi) and he is above everything (ParaShiva). He is beyond description, beyond all manifestation, beyond limitation of form, time and space. He is eternal, infinite, mysterious, complex, all pervading, all knowing and all powerful.
Shiva as Nataraja is the Divine Cosmic Dancer. Shiva as Ardhnarishwara is both man and woman. Shiva is said to have shared half of his body for Shakti and is known as Ardhanarishwara (half woman, half man) in this form. In Hinduism, Shiva is said to have taken this form to depict that Divine is both masculine and feminine.
Bhagavad-Gita 2:13
"As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood and then to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at the death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.”
Bhagavad-Gita 2:17
"That which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul.”
Bhagavad-Gita 7:6-7 (Easwaran);
"The birth and dissolution of the cosmos itself take place in me. There is nothing that exists separate from me,...”
Bhagavad-Gita 7:7
"…The entire universe is suspended from me as my necklace of jewels.”
Bhagavad-Gita 7:19-20 (Easwaran)
"After many births the wise seek refuge in me; Seeing me everywhere and in everything. …There are others whose discrimination is misled by many desires. Following their own nature, they worship lower gods, practicing various rites.”

Lakota Sioux profeetta "Black Elk"
Minä näin että kansamme pyhä rengas oli yksi monista renkaista jotka yhdessä muodostivat suuren ympyrän, koko taivaanrannan levyisen, ja ympyrän keskellä kasvoi valtava kukassa oleva puu jo antoi suojan kaikille taivaallisen isän ja äidin lapsille. Ja minä näin että se oli pyhä.
Ainoa paikka jossa jumalia on koskaan havaittu on hihhuleiden mielikuvitus.
Muualla ei havaintoja ole tehty.
se että jonkun teorian puolesta ei ole todisteita/havaintoja, ei yleisesti ottaen ole todiste siitä että teoria on väärä
Jumala on? Jumala on varmasti uskovan sisäisessä maailmassa, mutta tämän tästäkin Hän näyttäytyy ilmielävänä ihmisille!!
Ei Hän ole ainostaan kirjoituksissa kirjaimina, vaan Hän on Elävä Persoona! :-)
Sanottiinko kirjoituksessa, että joku "teoria" on väärä?
Tietenkään todisteiden olemattomuus mistä tahansa keksitystä huuhaasta ei ole todiste siitä, että tuo huuhaa ei olisi totta, mutta ei se myöskään tarkoita sitä, että se olisi. Miksi siis pitää sellaista huuhaata oletusarvoisesti totena?
Missä Jumala on ilmestynyt? En ole nähnyt kuin elokuvissa, mutta ne ovat fiktiota.
olemassaoloa puoltamaan, mutta hyvin paljon löytyy sellaista, mikä todistaa vastaista, kuten totaalinen välinpitämättömyys ihmisten kärsimyksiä kohtaan.
No jos kerran oikein näyttäytyy, niin kerropa mihin ja milloin sitä jumalaa voisi mennä katsomaan?
Ja kerro myös miksei kukaan ole näistä näyttäytymisistä KOSKAAN mitään todisteita esittänyt? Digikamerat ja kännykkäkamerat on nykyään joka toisella, miksei löydy kuvaa näistä näyttäytymisistä?
Onko sinulla esittää MITÄÄN, siis mitään muuta kuin typötyhjää sanahelinää ja paksuja valheita, joita kuka tahansa voi esittää ilman mitään todisteita...
näistä asoista tiedä oikeastaan mitään, on juuri ateismi! Kiertelet väärissä ympyröissä! Eipä silti, kyllä Kaikkivaltiaalle on mahdollista ateistillekin ilmestyä. :)
se että jonkun teorian puolesta ei ole todisteita/havaintoja, ei yleisesti ottaen ole todiste siitä että teoria on väärä
on se vaan käsittämätöntä mitä kaikkea roskaa loogiseen ja kriittiseen ajatteluun kykenemättömät ääliöt ottavat ihan tosissaan!
(ja jos teoriasta on etsitty tuhansin tavoin ja tuhansien vuosien ajan todisteita satojen tuhansien ihmisten toimesta, eikä MITÄÄN ole koskaan löydetty, niin siltikö pitäisi olettaa että teoria on oikea?)
Jeesus palasikin lupauksensa mukaan oman sukupolvensa aikana, vaikkei niin havaittu tapahtuneen?
tervetuloa vaan kaikkivaltiaalle ihan koska tahansa käymään, kaikkivaltiaana varmaan tietää osoitteen. Ihan tuon saman lupauksen muuten antoi minulle eräs toinen hihhuli vuonna -77 ja lupasi jumalan pian kolkuttavan ovelleni.
No eipä ole mitään jumalia ovellani näkynyt, mutta vastahan tuosta on 30 vuotta aikaa, on varmaan pitänyt muita kiireitä sillä kaikkivaltiaalla?
Ja vastahan se Jeesuskin on tullut pian 2000 vuotta, joten onhan se pian siis aika suhteellinen käsite...
Eli pitäisi olla uskovainen, että Jumala ilmestyy. Tämähän kuvaa enemmänkin sitä, että jotkut uskovat ovat päästään vähän vialla, kun he kuvittelevat uskonnollisessa hurmiossaan Jumalan ilmestyvän heille.
Tiedän yhden henkilön, jolle ilmestyy vihreitä hämämähäkkejä ja hän kuulee ihmisten puhetta vaikka ketään ei olisi lähimaillakaan. Nämä ilmestymiset tapahtuu, kun tuo ihminen ei ole syönyt lääkitystään. Tarkoittaako se sitä, että nuo hänen kokemansa asiat ovat olemassa? Ei ainakaan hänen omasta mielestään.
"Kiertelet väärissä ympyröissä!"
Huutelet sieltä hourulasta tuollaisia. Itseironiaa?
Some other religions teach "God is everywhere." This is actually called "pantheism" and it is the opposite of our believe system in Islam. Allah tells us clearly there is nothing, anywhere in the universe like Him similar to his likeness, nor is He ever in His creation.
He tells us in the Quran He created the universe in six "yawm" (periods of time) and then He "astawah 'ala al Arsh" (rose up, above His Throne). He is there (above His Throne) and will remain there until the End Times.
Allah has such complete Knowledge as to be able to Know all things past, present and future in all places at exactly the same time. The same can be said for His absolute Hearing and Seeing. In this way, His Knowledge, His Hearing, His Sight are everywhere simultaneously.
In this regard, the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us He is as close to us as our jugular vein. He also explained Allah "with us" when we are in sincere worship to Him and in times of need. Naturally, this would not compromise His existance outside of His creation.
The Quran offers us a more detailed understanding of Where (and Who) Allah is.
"Certainly your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six yaum (days or periods of time), and then He Istawa (rose above) His Throne. He He brings the night as a cover over the day rapidly, and the sun, the moon, the stars subject to His Command. Surely, His is the Creation and the Commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the universe!"
[Holy Quran 7:54]
"Indeed, your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six yaum (days or periods of time), and then He Istawa (rose above), His Throne, disposing the affair of everything. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except by His Permission. This is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Won't you then remember?"[Holy Quran 10:3]
And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six yaum (days or periods of time), and then He Istawa (rose above) His Throne, in that He would test you as to which of you is the best in deeds. But if you say to them: "You certainly are going to be raised up after death," those who disbelieve would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious magic."
[Holy Quran 11:7]
Who created the heavens and the earth in six yaum (days or periods of time), and then He Istawa (rose above) His Throne. The Most Beneficent! Ask Him, as He is Al-Khabir (The All-Knower of everything).[Holy Quran 25:59]
Who created the heavens and the earth in six yaum (days or periods of time), and then He Istawa (rose above) His Throne. You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wali (protector or helper etc.) or an intercessor. Won't you then remember (accepting admonishment)?[Holy Quran 32:4]
And indeed We (Allah uses the word "We" in the royal sense like the king who says, "We decree the following...", this is not in the plural) created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six days and fatigue never touched Us (again, this is the royal "Us" not plural).[Holy Quran 50:38]
He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six yaum (days or periods of time), and then He Istawa (rose above) His Throne. He knows what goes into the earth and what comes forth from it, what descends from the heaven and what ascends up to it. And He is with you (by His Knowledge) wheresoever you may be. And Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.[Holy Quran 57:4]
We observe from these statements a very logical approach to understanding the nature of God without comparing Him to creation or putting Him in His creation.
