"veda yadi va
na veda"
Yes, the Nasadiya
Sukta ends with a questioning....
But, after
all, who knows, and who can say
Whence it all came, and how creation
happened?
The gods themselves are later than creation,
so who knows
truly whence it has arisen?
Whence all creation had its
origin,
he, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not,
he, who
surveys it all from highest heaven,
he knows - or maybe even he does
not know.
Meaning: "After all, who really knows what happened and
who can presume to tell it? What is the origin of creation? For, even the
Gods themselves are younger than it. He whether he created it or did not,
He who surveys it all from the highest heaven, He knows - or maybe even he
does not!"
This
end-refrain, states that even the Supreme being also may be
ignorant of the mystery of creation. This actually goes to supports the
Buddhist view that the universe was not created by God but is eternal. If
that is the case, Buddhist view is more correct that God is
irrelevent in Hinduism also. After all we donot need a God who
does not know how the universe was created and who is not
almighty.
This is what I say that theism
is rather very week in Hindusim. In Hindusim we donot find a strong
almighty God who is in charge of things like Judio-Christianity. This
means the there is a higher realty, higher than Brahman, higher
than the God of Gita.
I would like to know what do
you think is the Hindu view of supreme God. Is he almighty or
not?
>Hinduism accepted Buddha. Hinduism accepted
Charvaka.
Please not that it is not the
same as statement: Hinduism accepted Buddhism and Carvaksim. If you find a
book please show where it tells that Hindusim believes in Buddhism
and Charvakaism.
I wonder what the new
definition of the Hindusim as resolved in California ended up with? Does
it say that Hindusim believe as well not in a supreme God, and that in
Hinduism the supreme God is not almighty God?
These are questions for
discussions.
