But the God of Indians is the Light of Brahman beyond heaven and hell. There is no jealousy, no intimidation, no one sends one to heaven or hell. The abode of God or Brahman is blissful state. God is bliss, and not a synonym of sensual pleasures. God sits beyond the pleasures of heavens. There, as the Qur’an promises, there will be no harlots roaming the Garden of Eden to entertain you, no rivers flowing with honey or wine, no one to dress you in in green silk and golden rings and seat you on a throne. Heaven is an estate of pleasure. As those who have earned money sit back and enjoy it, heaven is a world to experience the fruits of one’s pious deeds. It has an end. Bhagavad Gita says, ‘Ksheene Punye Martyalokam Vishanti’. It means that if the merit of the beings who have reached the heavens are depleted, they will be born again in the human world. The answer to what will happen to a soul when its virtue is depleted can only be obtained from Sanatana Dharma. It is related to the theory of evolution.

Heaven and hell are not the purpose of human birth. Where does God sit? The Allah and the God of prophetic religions is one who sits in heaven and announces the fate of hundreds of millions of lives. Heaven is the abode of gods and goddesses in the language of Hindus and angels in the language of prophetic religions. These are angelic beings who are not delivered from births and deaths. So the seventh heaven of Abrahamic religions is not the abode of the so called One God or the final destination of souls. One has to transcend ten heavens or spiritual planes, (koshas) before meeting with God.

Respected Maria Ji you are again right in transforming a common ner death experience into a propaganda for Christianity by an interviewrldeepchandra

Like the content of an educational institution, one could get many books available in market, on primary syllabus, more on pre-primary literacy, lesser on secondary materials and far lesser on graduate syllabi and even rare on post-graduate, although every tier of such education is known but it’s availability varies. Reasons are more than one.

Hinduism also tells of a “saakaar” (lit. formful) “Ishwar”. The transformation of formless into formful raises infinite possibilities which leads to a singularity in the understanding of religion. We note similar also in case of singularity in a Black Hole where classical physics seems to break even when powered by Relativity. It is obvious for the human race to ponder for ages to resolve such singularities, to figure out one solution out of seemingly infinites.

What form should then a formless manifest into ? Figuring out one solution lies in the figure of the solution.

In order to hold true, the duality of niraakar and saakar, the one solution must exist and yet not unique, for then it’d be only one truest form, hence saakaar only, thereby loosing the duality of truth. The multiplicity of such solution is thus conditional truth governed by the condition of the solution that caters to its particular instance, which is uniquely identified, amongst some other factors, by the respective observation, hence the observer.

What the witness testified, be it untrue imagination or a true observation, is no more than truth which is subjective to the observer, governed by his personal perception of religion aka Ishwar. Therefore such divine figure, is not necessarily Jesus, or could have been Krishna, or any avatar conceived through the lens of his own mind. Such is the concept of “niraakaar” manifesting through the observer into a “saakaar”.

Such is also the concept of one’s experience transformed through the listeners into narratives, for everyone understands according to own capacity.
