Re: How do you view the Gods?
Pranam saidevo ji, andrewoberg and all
Thanks for your considered reply, no I am no more proficient in Gita then you are, I do not make in depth analysis of each verse like you and many here might do, yes I had considered the verse on the line that you have put, that is one way of looking at it yet there are those who see that in different light, one thing is for sure the existence of all that be is not in doubt, the reason I entered this thread because in post no 2 Riverwolf doubted the literal existence of Gods or devas.
In that ekam reality there is multitude of variety and that is a conundrum we can all marvel.
This entire universe is pervaded by Me, the unmanifest Brahman. All beings depend on (or remain in) Me. I do not depend on them. (9.04)
And yet beings, in reality, do not remain in Me. Look at the power of My divine mystery. Though the sustainer and creator of all beings, I do not remain in them. (9.05)
Consider that all beings remain in Me as the mighty wind, moving everywhere, eternally remains in space. (9.06)
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.
