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
6.Hungry ghosts (pretas)

and all these are the existing reality , here and now.
And we create these ourselves.

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...

Astha digpalakas (introduction)

I wanted to make this series from a very long time . Every God which we worship has an actual presence in this world, it's not about some man controlling the nature from heaven..  Our scriptures always talks about the present forces in colourful form, in our culture creator is always present in the creation. This series of Asta digpalakas are those gods whom are assigned one direction to each and many more signification.  These digpalas are frequently mentioned in the vedas and numerous suktas have been mentioned about them. In modern Hinduism they are been reduced to a directional deities although they have major significance in vastu.  In all major yagnas they are still being invoked and offerings are made for them.  So go through it calmly and slowly , this will make you understand the real meaning behind the puranas and the itihasas.
