Re: Does smRiti texts teach "some nonsense."
Pranam
I hope we can all remain civil to each other and don't turn this in to some kind of personal vendetta.
It also does not hurt, as has been a practice here on HDF to start and end with with some kind of greetings.
Having said this I realise the nature of question, could lead to debating hierarchy of Devas, that is not my intention.
My questions are related to Smriti text, we accept Vyasdev having authored them.
Question was did Vyas not know the Vedas?
If he had extol a certain deity in ithihas or Puranas why should it become nonsense?
Are we not insulting the author here? Omkara how about this personality?
Is it not a reasonable question to ask, why did the author not mention the calcification in each purana, as is alleged in Padma Purana ?
Sure there are interpolation for that there is no doubt but the core remains intact, each deities that the text extol is neither exaggerated or made up so how can it be a nonsense?
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
