Worship of Different forms in Sanatana Dharma Part 1 - Hindi
Listen now
Description
The question asked here was- Why can’t there be just one form that we worship or on which we meditate, instead of three different forms, like, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh? Om Swami says that the question of one god was never a question of Sanatan dharma. For, in Sanatan dharma, puja and worship was towards the elders and ancestors first. According to the shastras, Shankaracharya, Vyaas, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, are not permanent. The chair always remained the same, but the person occupying it would be different, according to the times and ages. Om Swami says that the gods and goddesses we worship today used to be our ancestors, who used to wander. Their stories have been carried forward through ages, with some additions and subtractions with time, but, the main truth never changed. He says, our ancestors many thousands of years ago, had understood that all people experienced different states of mind, like, sattvik, rajasik and tamasik and therefore according to their states of mind they should have a God that they could pray to and imbibe energy from. The differences were created later on by some of the religious heads and ignorant people. For, in all the shastras it has been clearly mentioned that there is only one God and that he/she encompasses everything. Om Swami says that when a person’s mind finds stillness on hearing or listening to something then that is God for them. For, mind is God.
