Types of beings in Hinduism

The divine and the non divine natures of Human beings are been dealt exhaustively in bhagwad Gita chapter 16 .

The symptoms are 2 as follows.

One possessing the divine nature is destined for liberation from the cycle of birth and death and the non divine is destined for Bondage and repeated Births and death.




There are 6 types of conscious beings dwelling in 6 realms :
1. Animals
2. Hell beings
3.Human
4.Gods
5. Anti Gods

Is prophet muhammad really mentioned in the vedas ?

prophet muhammad is mentioned in the vedas is claimed  by mr zakir naik alone . His excited dumb followers as well as some dumb sickular Hindus accepted his statements without even cross checking the statements . some Quotations which mr naik exploits is Rig veda 1.13.3 ,1.53.9 and  5.5.2 yajurveda 20.37  there are many more verses like these but here mr naik delibrately chose to exploit is the word ( nara shamsaha which means praised by men) he quotes all the verses in which narashamsa is been mentioned and misleads people by saying its prophet muhammad. vedas contain hymns and verses for devas like  indra ,vayu ,agni etc and there is no specific mention of muhammad . look at the following hymns rig veda 1.13.3 narasamsamhiha priyamasminajna upahvaye | madhujihvat haviskrtam || i kindle the fire in this yagna which is beloved and benificient to people ,the sweet tounged and in which obligations are put. rig veda  5.5.2 narasamsah susu...

Caste system in Hinduism

So it doesn’t matter how many verses in puranas  it only matters what the shruti (  Vedasa and upanishads) teach. The principal verse in the Veda describing the caste system comes from Rig Veda 10:90:12 - this verse is the supreme judgement in this matter - It says that the four castes are the limbs of society like that of the Cosmic Being. How does it describe them? From the mouth of the Social Being - the Brahmins arose. From the arms - the Kshatriyas were created. From the thighs the Vaishyas too [were created] From the feet - the Shudras were BORN. So this seminal verse on the varna-system clearly states that the 3 varnas are “created” but only the Sudra Varna is born. This is then confirmed in the Upanishads (Vajra-sūcika Upaniṣad) many Smritis and Itihasas . This is the case of uniformity of birth established — EVERYONE is born a Sudra by DEFAULT. Confirmed in the Mahābhārata:– The cause of brahmanhood is not birth, or sacraments, or learning or pro...
