In reference to Prophet Muhammad (saw), check this out. I got it from this website, a seeming Satpanthi Ismaili.. I love the pictures and content of the website!! Very interesting in my opinion! (:agakhani wrote:Good video clip, I read it some where but never show the video which clearly mention the name of Prophet Mohammad (s.a.) thanks for posting.
Prophet Mohammad's (s.a.) name mentioned in Hindu scripture, Vedas and some Purans also but with different name.
For those interested, you can hear the recitation of this "Aarti" here on YouTube:agakhani wrote:Interesting link specially for those peoples who has interest in comparison of Ismailism with other religions.
I specially like their 'AARTI' which match with Ismaili famous Aarti which we recite many time in Jamat Khanas.

Dear agakhani - Interesting would be, to explain as per Ismaili cosmology/theology this concept...agakhani wrote: As per the Hindu cosmology
Brahma is a creator
Vishnu is sustainer
Mahesh (Shiv ) is destroyer.

There are no multiple Gods, this is a misunderstanding by some of the uneducated Hindus as the majority with whom I have talked, knows that all these "Gods" which are really the same as the "Attributes" of Allah, are all unified in the Essence of Krishna.
This is very well explained in the Gita if one takes the time to read it. For example you can see many Attributes in the following parts of the Gita in the Farmans of Krishna to Arjun and the replies that Arjun gives to Krishna:
O Countless formed Divinity, You are the First of the Gods, the Supreme Being, the Ancient Self, and You are the resting place of the world. You are the knower, the knowable, and the Supreme Abode of Lord Vishnu. This entire world is pervaded by You.
-Bhagavad Gita 11.38
Hinduism does not limit the Attributes of Allah, God, to 99 like many Muslims do. The number of Attributes of God is limitless in their beliefs.
Here still from the 11th Chapter of the Gita, the recognition by Arjun of Krishna as being the envelope of all of the Attributes:
Arjuna said:
15. I see all the Devas, O Deva, in Thy body, and hosts of all grades of beings; Brahma, the Lord, seated on the lotus, and all the Rishis and celestial serpents.
16. I see Thee of boundless form on every side with manifold arms, stomachs, mouths and eyes; neither the end nor the middle, nor also the beginning of Thee do I see, O Lord of the universe, O Universal Form.
17. I see Thee with diadem, club, and discus; a mass of radiance shining everywhere, very hard to look at, all around blazing like burning fire and sun, and immeasurable.
18. Thou art the Imperishable, the Supreme Being, the one thing to be known. Thou art the great Refuge of this universe;. Thou art the undying Guardian of the Eternal Dharma, Thou art the Ancient. Purusha, I ween.
O God of Incomparable Power, You are the Father of this creation consisting of movables and immovable. You are the Adorable One, The Preceptor, and the Glorious One. There is no equal to You in the three worlds, much less can any one excel You.
-Bhagavad Gita 11.43
God is only one in every religions either it is a Hindu religion or Islam, it may have different names that is it. Since God doesn't have any shape he has to send some one on earth and as per 'Gita' a holy Hindu book,whenever necessary arises God send some one to preach the peoples and bring them back on right tract and to kill devil, this kind births calls as an avatars like Krishna, Rama e.t.c. were fits in this category.So, according to hindu, apparently there are multiple [divine] lords. Do you concur with these concepts?
Code: Select all
- how are they different from one another, in terms of completness, superiority, knowledge?
Code: Select all
are they all at the same level, interns of completness, superiority, knowledge?

They may call it God and we may think it is different of Attributes but in really if all of their "gods" are in one GOD and all of our "attributes" are also in GOD, we have to accept that we are all talking of the same thing using different word because really GOD can not be talked with words or ideas or intellect, we can just try with our human limitation.
dear agakhani - thank you for this explanation.agakhani wrote:Tret,
Thanks for your interest to know more about Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh!
it is very hard to explain this very deep topic in only one post but I will try it to explain it as per my little ability and in short.
-Since Hindu believes in trinity VISHNU, BHRAMA and and SHIVA but from our ginanic literature Vishnu is our mowla, Bhrama is our pir, about the role of Shiva(Maheswar) is big question mark for me! But wait......but some scholars in past answered it! They past they wrote that the third roll as a destroyer is also in MHI.!!! which make me little irate one IIS Gratuate brother KMaher Ali wrote about above question.
"The Imam represents all the three attributes . Sometimes the Imam decides to appoint a Pir to act in the capacity of the Bhrama, otherwise he is all the three at once".
As per the book Noor -an mubin Shiva is Adam!.
As per the many Ginans vishnu is our Imam.
Once I asked to Brother K,
Do you mean that Shiva's (DESTROYER'S) roll is also in our Imam?
But as per Hindu religion view point Shiva is destroyer and you also mention in your above post, can you explain it in little more detail?
Read what he answerd:-
It is simple. The Imam is essentially the Mazhar of the Divine Essence and hence it can express itself in any manner. At present the Imam is the Gurnar or Shahpir - he is both the Imam and the Pir. So why can't he be three in one if we choose to adopt that doctrinal position?
It should be noted that by the term 'Destroyer' it is meant destroyer of evil and that is how he expressed himself in the narrative of the
As per my understanding they all three have same" Noor" therefore no question arise who is superior and who is not?Code: Select all
- how are they different from one another, in terms of completness, superiority, knowledge?
Yes. if you believe and accept either Ismaili religion or Hindu religion point of view. No body can say that "the noor" which prophet Mohd (PBUH)had was superior than the Noor which H. Ali (s.a.) had!! because they both were created from same Noor.Code: Select all
are they all at the same level, interns of completness, superiority, knowledge?
Your third question's answer also related to my above answers.
