question:hindu god

[Lewis]

“Lord Maha-Vishnu is the source of thousands of avataras in His thousands and thousands of subjective portions. He is the creator of countless individual souls. He is also known by the name of Narayana, meaning the shelter of all the individual jiva souls. From Him springs forth the vast expanse of water known as the spiritual Causal Ocean wherein the material creation takes place. Maha-Vishnu then reclines in the waters of the Causal Ocean in a state of divine sleep, called yoga-nidra. Thus, it is said that the universal creation is but the dream of Maha-Vishnu.”

Causal Ocean - Wikiwand

In Hindu cosmology, the Karanodaka or the Garbhodaka, also referred to as the Causal Ocean, is the origin of material creation. It is the place in the spiritual...

The site you linked sources the above paragraph to a book called The Heart of Hinduism and is not part of any scripture. What happens is that, from Vishnu's pores the Universes come into being. Also, this whole Maha- Vishnu or Garbhodakaśāyī reeks of ISKON's purport and the distinction is unsupported by actual texts.

Based on what? Which God in particular?

It's not breaking the community rules right now, right?

Maya, transduality. Same reason why seeker of mystery is 1A

Its just a QnA. The site doesn't Index religions and rightfully so. Hinduism itself is a mess with the Vedas, the Puranas, Upanishads and other supplementary scriptures which are very distinct from each other based on beliefs and other things making a coherent scaling between them almost impossible. There is also the problem with trying to scaling thousands of years of writing in modern battleboarding context.

So, basically bullshit.

They're not different but just expansions of one to another.

Being beyond material world (maya) is specifically enough to achieve that.

No. The original sanskrit makes no mention of these versions. Its only found in ISKON translated material.

 

[Zaratthustra]

Like Elaj said we don't index religious figures if they aren't based on fictional verses (ex: novels, books, games, etc).

Idk, my friend has read the Gita and explained to me they are expansions of each other, not being different but just a part.
Also

For material creation, Krishna's plenary expansion assumes three Vishnus. The first, Mahā Viṣhṇu, creates the total material energy, known as the mahat-tattva. The second, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, enters into all the universes to create diversities and the third, Kṣīrodakaśāyī Vishnu, is diffused as the all-pervading super soul in all the universes; in the heart of every living being, is known as Paramātmā. He is present even within the atoms.The goal of life is to know Kṛṣṇa, who is situated within the heart of every living being as Paramātmā, the four-handed Viṣṇu form.

Discussions regarding hypothetical tier placements of figures from current religions are also not allowed, as the community wishes to avoid heated arguments.

This is a commentary bruh.

 

[Abstractions]

Preferably don't create threads on such a sensitive subject like religion, it's disrespectful when applied to this kind of setting.

I'll be closing this thread now.
