Responde plu longa: Contrastada con malconsetis dominante, tota indus adora un sola Esente Suprema, ma par nomes diferente. Esta es tal car la poplas de Barat con linguas e cultures diferente ia comprende la sola Dio en sua propre modo distinguida. Tra istoria, cuatro ramos indu xef ia apare — xaivisme (Saivism), xactisme (Shaktism), vaixnavisme (Vaishnavism) e smartisme (Smartism). Per xaivistes, Dio es Xiva. Per xactistes (Shaktas), Diva Xacti (Shakti) es suprema. Per vaixnavistes, Senior Vixnu es Dio. Per smartistes (Smartas) — ci vide tota Divines como refletas de la Sola Dio — la eleje de Divin es lasada a la adoror. Esta punto de vista libraliste de smartisme es bon conoseda, ma lo no es la opina dominante entre indus. Par causa de esta diversia, indus es profonda tolerante de otra relijios, respetante la fato ce cadun ave sua propre via a la sola Dio.
Longer answer: Contrary to prevailing misconceptions, Hindus all worship a one Supreme Being, though by different names. This is because the peoples of India with different languages and cultures have understood the one God in their own distinct way. Through history there arose four principal Hindu denominations—Saivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism and Smartism. For Saivites, God is Siva. For Shaktas, Goddess Shakti is supreme. For Vaishnavites, Lord Vishnu is God. For Smartas—who see all Deities as reflections of the One God—the choice of Deity is left to the devotee. This liberal Smarta perspective is well known, but it is not the prevailing Hindu view. Due to this diversity, Hindus are profoundly tolerant of other religions, respecting the fact that each has its own pathway to the one God.
Un de la comprendes unica en induisme es ce Dio no es distante, abitante un sielo nonprosima, ma es a interna de cada alma, en la cor e consensia, espetante es descovreda. Esta conose ce Dio es sempre con nos, dona a nos la espera e coraje. La conose de la Sola Dio Alta en esta modo intima e esperial es la gol de spiritalia indu.
One of the unique understandings in Hinduism is that God is not far away, living in a remote heaven, but is inside each and every soul, in the heart and consciousness, waiting to be discovered. This knowing that God is always with us gives us hope and courage. Knowing the One Great God in this intimate and experiential way is the goal of Hindu spirituality.
Esplica detaliosa: Induisme es egal monoteiste e enoteiste. Indus ia es nunca politeiste, en la sinifia ce on ave multe Dios egal. Enoteisme (leteral, “un Dio”) defini plu bon la opina indu. Lo sinifia la adora de un Dio sin rejeta la esiste de otra Dios. Nos indus crede en la sola Dio ci permea tota e enerji la universo intera. Nos pote vide El en la vive cual brilia de la oios de umanas e tota creadas. Esta regarda de Dio como esistente en e donante vive a tota cosas es nomida panenteisme. Lo difere de panteisme, cual es la crede ce Dio es la universo natural e no plu ca esta. Lo difere ance de la teisme rigorosa cual dise ce Dio es sola supra la mundo, a estra de lo, transendente. Panenteisme es un conseta incluinte tota. Lo dise ce Dio es egal en la mundo e a ultra lo, egal inerente e transendente. Esta es la opina indu la plu alta. Indus crede ance en multe Dios ci prende funsionas diversa, como dirijores en un corpora grande. Aceles debe no es confusada con la Dio Suprema. Esta Divines es esentes multe avansada ci ave taxes e potias spesifada — multe simil a spiritos, padrones sielal o arcanjeles ci es respetada en otra credes. Cada ramo de induisme adora la Dio Suprema e sua propre panteon de esentes divin. Lo cual confusa a veses nonindus es ce indus de setas variosa pote nomi Dio con multe nomes diferente, longo sua ramo o tradision rejional. Veria per la indu ave multe nomes, ma esta no resulta multe verias. Induisme dona a nos la libria per asede Dio en nosa propre modo, corajinte un multia de vias, no demandante per conforma a sola un.
Elaboration: Hinduism is both monotheistic and henotheistic. Hindus were never polytheistic, in the sense that there are many equal Gods. Henotheism (literally “one God”) better defines the Hindu view. It means the worship of one God without denying the existence of other Gods. We Hindus believe in the one all-pervasive God who energizes the entire universe. We can see Him in the life shining out of the eyes of humans and all creatures. This view of God as existing in and giving life to all things is called panentheism. It is different from pantheism, which is the belief that God is the natural universe and nothing more. It is also different from strict theism which says God is only above the world, apart and transcendent. Panentheism is an all-encompassing concept. It says that God is both in the world and beyond it, both immanent and transcendent. That is the highest Hindu view. Hindus also believe in many Gods who perform various functions, like executives in a large corporation. These should not be confused with the Supreme God. These Divinities are highly advanced beings who have specific duties and powers—not unlike the heavenly spirits, overlords or archangels revered in other faiths. Each denomination worships the Supreme God and its own pantheon of divine beings. What is sometimes confusing to non-Hindus is that Hindus of various sects may call the one God by many different names, according to their denomination or regional tradition. Truth for the Hindu has many names, but that does not make for many truths. Hinduism gives us the freedom to approach God in our own way, encouraging a multiplicity of paths, not asking for conformity to just one.
On ave multe de confusa sur esta sujeto, an entre indus. Aprende la termas coreta e la diferes sutil en los, e vos va pote esplica la modos profonda en cual indus regarda Divinia. Otras va es deletada con la ricia de la consetas indu de Dio. Vos va pote vole sita ce alga indus crede en Dio sola como la Realia Asoluta sin forma; otras crede en Dio como Senior personal e Creor. Esta libria fa la comprende de Dio en induisme, cual es la relijio vivente la plu vea, a la comprende la plu rica entre tota credes esistente de la Tera.
There is much confusion about this subject, even among Hindus. Learn the right terms and the subtle differences in them, and you can explain the profound ways Hindus look at Divinity. Others will be delighted with the richness of the Indian concepts of God. You may wish to mention that some Hindus believe only in the formless Absolute Reality as God; others believe in God as personal Lord and Creator. This freedom makes the understanding of God in Hinduism, the oldest living religion, the richest in all of Earth’s existing faiths.
