Who is your favourite Hindu god and why?
I was talking to my wife the other day and we had a talk about "Who is your favourite God"
My favourite god is Vishnu, being a Great God, as he is the master of the sun and light. He looks over me on the bedside cabinet and makes sure I get up in the morning by shining light upon me and my wife. Also the snake which he rests upon represents my infinite and immortal love for my religion.

Re: Who is your favourite Hindu god and why?
I think all religion is *******s, but bloody hell, Hinduism is interesting. It's the only religion whose explanation and sense of cosmology even comes close to reality in terms of magnitude and complexity.
With re to Indian gods, I like the blue one (or is that most of them?) -
Re: Who is your favourite Hindu god and why?Why is he blue?(Original post by IndianHunter)
The blue one is Vishnu. HE IS AWESOME. I LOVE HIM TO PIECES!!!!!!!!! -
Re: Who is your favourite Hindu god and why?Because he's cold like a ****ing choc ice bro.(Original post by TieMeUp)
Why is he blue? -
Re: Who is your favourite Hindu god and why?Because he wants to! Being such an awesome god and stuff. Did I not say he can shape shift into different forms. One day he's a blue guy with 4 arms, and next day he is the moon. BOOM(Original post by TieMeUp)

Time for me to go watch the Mahabharata with English subtitles on youtube. So much more interesting than sterile Abrahamic religions
Edit: I would also say that I like Hindu gods and Hindus generally, because their gods seem to act more rationally, judging by their scripture. Whereas I fear the cruelty of Muslims, and I think the Abrahamic god is mendacious and evilLast edited by TieMeUp; 30-05-2012 at 04:29. -

Re: Who is your favourite Hindu god and why?
There are quite a few blue gods because blue is seen as a divine colour in Hindu mythology. I would go for Krishna as favourite because of the gita and what he proclaims in it.
There not supposed to be physically real, the over dramatized appearance of hindu gods serve as metaphoric and allegorical references to the various attributes of their personalities.(Original post by Future_Dr)

Jesus being a human being is weaker if not more than any of the human gods in Hinduism.Jesus Christ is not a Hindu god BUT The God of all. -
Re: Who is your favourite Hindu god and why?As an atheist I know not of Gods, If I had to pick a favourite Hindu follower it would be Mahatma Ghandi, for me the greatest human being of all time.(Original post by IndianHunter)
