    What's the difference between Purusha and Prakriti?

    Hello HDF members,

    A question: Is Purusha formless? If not, then which one of the hindu trinity is Purusha? And, who worships Purusha and who prefers to worship Prakriti?
    I mean what is the objective or goal when people worship these two aspects of Brahmana?

    I have gone thru the first few chapters of Prabhupada's Gita and there in the commentary section Mr. Prabhupada says that those who seeks moksha or in other words, longs to be with Krishna in his heveanly realms worships HIM alone, who according to Prabhupada is Purusha or the Supreme ... and those who seeks wordly things, worships the demigods, like farmers worship Indra for a good rain for their harvest, businessmen worship Laxmi and Ganesha, then shaktas worship Kali for material peace. Would like to hear what you guys have to say on this matter.


    Thanks.
