All sects believe that their sect, their view n belief is best. I m Shaakt(Shakti worshiper) by birth but to me Krishna is supreme n I'm trying to be a vegetarian.
If someone believes that Shiva or Durga is that Supreme than is it correct on ur part to say that those who belive so r foolish or other _ _ _ _ words that u used for them.? How all can believe in one Rup of Almighty? Our personal veiw regarding God keeps changing. For example whe I was very toddler God was photo r idol to me, then when I learnt more He became a wish fulfilling entity for me or a very powerful entity for me. My veiw abt GOD completely changed when I read Geeta n Teachings of RamKrishna Paramahansa. I came out of my narrow veiw of GOD. N with my everyday learning my notion of GOD is expanding. I ask u a question- What God is now to u was he same when u were 3 or 5 year old.
We ourselves had different notions of God at different ages. Everyday we r learning more abt him.
Thus what a person himself has understood abt GOD is more important than what is written is Purans or Vedas or Upnishads or Samhita. If some sect belive that Shiva or Shakti or Vishnu or some other is Supreme then is it correct on ur part to call them foolish or ignorant
very well explained poorvi, i donot think, this is a place to fight for your belief, look what we have doneover disputes that my sect is best and others suk attutude for ages, most of the wars have spurred from religious intolerance, lets not spur such a battel here
its to a person how he wants god to be
as swami Vivekananda has said: religion is the manifestation of divinity in man
so your faith, beleifis the manifestation of your own soul, if you repect others faith, you respect yours only
adn as poorvi has said, taking from Shree Ramkrishna's tecahings: there are a lot of ways to call god, like therez a lot of routes to reach a destination, all lead to HIM only, there are as many routes as your opinions.
here we all are friends, all have a righ to voice their opinion, respect them everyone, we are all friends here irrespective of religion, belive, cast or sect
