So now we will change the definition of audience, i do not think i need to answer the rest.
As an aside, all of this started when I was answering a question from a newcomer to the forum. Ganesh Prasad's sectarian objections are well-known and have been argued ad nauseum by him elsewhere, and there is hardly any need to rehash them here. It would be nice if he did not go out of his way to pick a fight over these issues every time one brings up details from our scriptures which don't match his personal views.
regards,
Last time i check this is an open Hindu forum, to present it in positive light, if i feel the details that serve no purpose other then divide the Hindus, i make it a point to object to certain passages that might be subject to being inserted at later date. there is no reason for me to pick a fight, i have not abuse you in anyway. There are those who hold Shiva Purana in high regards, nothing they read in it suggest it to be Tamsik, Vyasji did not say in Shiva Puran that you are reading a Tamsik text, period. if i have to read somewhere else the alleged classification i have to question its authenticity.
Jai Shree Kreishna
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.
