Make sure what God is according to the Vedas. And what happens if you worship non-Vedic Gods.
The Vedas confirms God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman, nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32~1 clearly mention that God is “One”.
Rig Veda declares God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why to believe and worship in place of the real God.
God in truth is not physical. God is present in the form of the Spirit. The Spirit is the cause of the universe, and the Spirit itself is uncaused.
From the standpoint of the Spirit, the form, time, space and name are mere an illusion. The spirit alone is real and all else is an illusion. In reality, the Spirit (God in truth) of matter (the world in which we exist) is one.
Vedas confirm the Soul, the ‘Self', is the present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.
And also in Yajurveda says:~
Translation 1.
They enter darkness, those who worship natural things (for example air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc.).
They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol etc.) ~[Yajurved 40:9]
Translation 2.
"Deep into the shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshipers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on sambhuti are intent.~[Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph T. H. Giffith pg 538]
Translation 3
"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." [Yajur Veda 40:9.
So, Yajur Veda indicates that:-
They sink deeper in ignorance, those who worship anything of the creation (matter) such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time."
When the religion of the Veda knows no idols, then why so many Gods and Goddesses with different form and name are being propagated as Vedic Gods. Why these conceptual Gods are introduced when the Vedic concept of God is free from form and attributes.
It indicates clearly all the Puranic Gods with form and name, and their worships and rituals were introduced by replacing in place of Vedic rituals and modified books of the code of conduct. Thus, the pure Vedic rituals have been replaced by the founders of the present day Hinduism, the reason best known to them. When the Vedic goal is self- realization, all these Puranic based understanding and knowledge are a misguided direction to the seekers of truth.
It clearly indicates that:-If the human goal is to acquire Self-Knowledge then why one has to indulge in rituals and glorifying the conceptual Gods, Goddesses, and gurus to go into deeper darkness. Instead, spend that time moving forward towards Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, which is one’s prime goal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
