Hinduism does not have a Supreme God
living in a remote heaven, rather it requires
reaching inward to discover a karma free
Nirvana, or enlightenment/cosmic conciousness.

Transformation comes through transcendence.

and they accept that there are many ways to
such discovery of one's true being... and that
there can be many Gods below the Supreme
being Brahmin...which means henotheism.

Faith and strict conformity are not the primary
basis of Hinduism, for they include many sciences
both modern and ancient, and accept evolution.
They don't buy into the Bibles "how to Create the
universe in six easy steps".

Compare that to the dogmatic infantile mind
christians and Muslims with blinkers on... 😂




I didn't mean to imply that the principle of Brahman is a remote God, but that Brahman is the manifestor of everything...which is not creation and creator, but manifestation of the world/universe and all that is in it through the mind/essence of Brahman, that everyone and everything is Brahman, just not realizing it.
