How is God? What do the Vedas say about God? What do other ancient scriptures mention about God? JKYog presents a short lecture by Swami Mukundananda on what do vedic scriptures reveal about God.
Swami Mukundananda begins his lecture on this topic by quoting from the Kenopanishad of the SamVeda, “That person, who thinks I can know God, has no knowledge of God. That person, who thinks nobody knows God, he truly knows God.” The indication out here is that we can never know God. Swamiji quotes further from various Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita, “God is incomprehensible to you; God is beyond your logic and argumentation; your intellect can never grasp God”. In a similar way, other religious scriptures unanimously declare, "God is unknowable".

A lesson of humbleness from the Vedas. No one can know God without God's Grace🙏
Swami ji, kya bhagvan ko nirakar rup mein manna sreath hai yha, sagun mein. Mein nirakar svarop mein manta hu jo har jga vas krte hein.
@@AmitSingh-ql4ry Scriptures say God is Omnipresent in His 'Narakar' roop or Formless Aspect and also in HIS 'Sakar' roop (with Form). When we think God is Omnipresent only in His 'Nirakar' Form, we are limiting His infinite Potential by thinking that He can pervade the universe only in His 'Nirakar' Form. This violates the definition of God Himself. By definition, Bhagavan is He who can do everything possible, everything impossible and everything contradictory. The fact that He is all-pervading as both Brahm (Nirakar) and Bhagavan (Sakar) is one of His contradictory Qualities. But then He is the abode of all contradictory Qualities. So when we limit His capability in terms of anything, it's just a reflection of our incorrect understanding of who really is Bhagavan (God).
@@debasmita7708in guru granth sahib ji guru nanak dev ji said that the god is only nirakaar. God is free from birth. Sakaar roop is lessing god's power. Sakaar roop proves that god can die and birth.But god is really in only nirakaar roop.
@@debasmita7708Devta's are not god. They are only demi god's.
@@Deadp_ool When did I say that devatas in heaven are forms of God? The Vedic scriptures are very clear that the demigods in heaven are souls like ourselves.

Finally found baba who have knowledge about the holly scriptures . He only talks the fact not like other baba who only talk nonsense things and try to relate anything with unrelated things by talking. Other baba are like if you ask one question they will answer different things and try to relate that thing with your question. Sometimes they will talk and talk and never answer question and will forget the question. Lets see i will check other video of this baba.

Jai Shri Krishna 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Radhe Radhe 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a great video, now I realize why after every pooja/katha/bhajan that we perform at home, my mother addresses god by saying "He param pita paramatma, aap jo bhi hain jahaan bhi hain hum kuch nahin jaante" (Almighty god, we don't know who you are, where you are) !
We can't know God unless He reveal Himself to us.
Only God knows God 100%, souls have not able to understand God without his grace.
Thank You Guruji for the enlightenment😊🙏 ...Hare Krishna 🙏
God is eternal to know him is to understand that you cant know him(Fully) but you can know him like a son knows his Father
Can't know, can't understand but can experience.
Swamiji so beautifully says that our intellect is not equipped to know God because he is trikal darshi. He knows everything and everyone but no one knows him. If we knew God, we would become God-realized ourselves. Thank you, Swamiji!
Great insights swami ji. Hence, all religions are same in their core, though the mode of worship is different.
Lord Shree Krishna is God
Jai Shree Krishna 🙏
I too accept I can never fully know God. However I will continue to seek guidance and put my life in Gods hands. My Lord My God Sri Krishna

God is all pure, all perfect and complete, all pervading, all powerful, all present, all knowing, all intelligent, all being, all formless, all forms and names!
Wow, this guruji is very knowledgeful!
In this mind-blowing narrative, Swamiji says that one who thinks he can know God, cannot know God ever. He who thinks he can never know God, may know something about him. God is incomprehensible to us, beyond logic and argumentation. Swamiji adds that our intellect is not equipped to know God because he is trikal darshi. He knows everything and everyone but no one knows him. If we knew God, we would become God-realized ourselves. Thank you, Swamiji, for teaching us the importance of humility.

God is infinite and with finite mind we can never comprehend God
How can I balance spirituality, hinduism, peace and living in the western world and having responsibilities given to me my law and government set rules.
No one can know God. Our instruments mind and intellect are material and God is divine. Only by his grace we can know him.
Awesome!! Radhey Radhey 🙏
I cannot comprehend God, but I believe in my mata rani and all ends well!

Love to story of Saint Augustine and the little boy! What an analogy!
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
"Anyone who does not love, does not know God, because God is love."
No one can know God on his own. But if God so chooses to reveal himself then, very very easily..... God can be known
No body doubt that there is God but, no one see Him unless He reveal Himself. All human has the tendency to worship God, but no other creature like animals.
Wonderful lecture by Swamiji.
We need to Get our athma connected with our inner parmathma, then you will get connected with the universal knowledge.
If only everyone follows this than no one should fight ..no one will hate each other
All human are the servants of god and god is one with different names
Thats true, and we all are created by God only.
प्रणाम स्वामी जी|
May god bless you
Good Swamiji g8 explanation.
Haare krishna 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Keep doing ,, eye opener ur videos are
"God" is only a word created by Man out of sheer Mysteries of universe and his sufferings. Man created God.
Then who created universe?
There is something called power in this Universe which cannot be explained but felt.
Of course if you have cleanse mind,body and soul you can feel it.
Hahaahaa
Swamiji left out one important point in this talk. When vedas say God is unknowable, it does not mean it not at all knowable. It only means God not FULLY knowable. In other words you can exhaust your knowledge about God. Whatever aspect you know God (provided such knowledge has vedic pramana) is valid in itself. Hence upanishad's verdict that if you say you cannot know God you know God, should be understood as your knowledge about that one (important nevertheless) aspect of God ( that He cannot be fully knowable), is indeed correct and valid. Hence you know God in that aspect correctly. I wish Swamiji is more explicit in his explanation.
Great explanation. For all their is only one .
Radhe Radhe
Jay srikrishna
That's why God is called 'Parabrahma', which means 'Eternal Truth beyond our Imagination'.
God is all knowing and all powerful! Watch this video to learn more!
God is beyond all our combined imagination. logic . Intelligence

Gurudev , The instruments of knowledge given to us are deficient and ineffective to know God , then who gave those instruments to us in first place ? Prakriti ? but Prakriti is managed and supported by God himself. He is at the root of its design. that means God has given us inadequate instruments and has thrown us into a world where at every step we are conditioned by need , necessity, struggle in life and then he expects us to soley devote and search him with Ananya prem while knowing that our actual physical existance needs suport , love and care of people
around us.
So what kind of Justice is this ? All i can then say is that God is toying us with his power as he wishes. And if that is so then where does the mercy part come in ? I mean Ex:- Carl Sagan was a wonderful scientist who was a great person at heart and wanted to see peace and science and collaboration in the world. He hated military , he believed that our entire species should
collaborate and come to gether and live scientifically. Now i am sure he is rotating in 8.4 million species because he did not attain God ? What kind of a justice is this ?
I hope you understand the depth and heart behind my question ?
If you listen to the entire philosophy and deeply contemplate, all your doubts will cease to exist. These doubts rise initially when we don't know enough philosophy. I am sure many people will have similar questions like the one you have raised. I had similar questions few years ago, but all my questions were answered over the years. However, this required a lot of dedication and seriousness from my side to know and understand the complete philosophy. Please listen to more and more lectures by Swami Mukundananda. These will help clear your doubts.
No, friend. Yiu know what? Gradually when you ponder upon GOD'S existence and anything related after a time you will realise that you didn't know the god you are to see the god in each being(not necessarily in his karma) and know that you are the manifestation of that supreme energy (unmanifested) and that it pervades in you. "अहं ब्रमम्हासमी" ।
Your actual form is NOTHINGNESS, not this.
Wonderful
Jay shree parama shiva bhaktha krishnaya govindaya namo namah😊😊
Wow it was really beautiful.. But why we are doing idol worship according to vedas it's really prohibited (andhatama parvishanti ye asambhuti mupasate )yajurveda 40 :9) and I have lot verses about it ..but I mean why to do idol worship..
😂😂 meanwhile Vedas says God is in Everything . Even Shiva , Brahma Vishnu are part of Paramatama(Universal Soul).
So if God is in everything we worship everything. Including Animals,Stone,Trees,Humans,Land and soil
We all have Soul(Aatma) and are part of ParamAtama(or Brahman) .
Do you know Namaste 🙏 means . When we say Namaste it means i bow down to the God inside you
Very simple answer We don't obey God that is why we worship idols or creatures rather than the creator, that is God.
very nice small video :)

Have a nice day.
But why God has made him incomprehensible...why is it not possible to know him... what is so secretive about him...why he wishes that nobody should know him..see him..and talk to him
He is right when we he says that our intelligence and understanding is limited and we cannot understand God. The Bible says the same thing. God knew we could never reach him. That’s why God reduced himself to become a man and Jesus is a true revelation of God. He was pure, holy, and lived a sinless life. He defined true sacrificial ‘Love’ died and rose again. Jesus is a revelation of who God is.
@@laradeen Correct
Sir ! I found ur words real..
In Qur'an or bible , we heard the names of different prophets like Jesus , David , Yousuf , Mohammad who just explain about the God , the way of life ...
But in Indian Scriptures , we see the role of Krishna , Rama , Vishnu , Brahma , Shiva etc... Who they are all ? Why do we need to pray them ? I'm seeking for meaning of God and wanna pray him but not praying to idols . Please help me .. whoever seeing this comment , please reply with ur own knowledge ..
U r heading towards the right direction bro.... God has sent prophets to this world to bring the people towards one God... All of them have preached the very same thing be it Joseph , David, solomom, Jesus Christ from Bible,, or Muhammad saw in Quran,, or bhagwan Krishna , Ram, hanuman .... They never said people should worship them,,, Their teachings implied uniqueness and oneness of God... U carry on with ur findings about God and pray to him that he should show you the right path.. If u r open minded and logical u will surely find the right path...
The Vedic scriptures describe that God has innumerable divine forms; Krishna, Ram, Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva are different manifestations of the same one God because there are no 2 Gods. We have to understand it very very thoroughly that there is absolutely no difference between the different forms of God. Whichever Form of God attracts you the most, you can choose that Form as your Istadev (worshipable form of God). Also, we must remember, when God descends in the material world (Radha Krishna, Sita Ram), He descends in His original Divine form. While our body (all living and non-living things in the material creation) is made of material energy or 'Maya' (i.e., made of muscle, bone, blood etc.) and is impure, the Divine Form of God is made of infinite divine bliss. But just like everything is yellow to the jaundiced eye, similarly when God incarnates in our material world, materially conditioned souls (with their polluted material consciousness) cannot see the divine form of God. They perceive the divine form of God as a material form. That's the most astonishing characteristics of the Divine Form of God. He appears different to different people depending on their level of consciousness. And only God-realized Saints who have attained divine senses after God-realization can see the actual Divine Form of God.
Krishna, Rama, Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva are different aspects of the same source of creation, Para Brahman. They are not prophets or messengers, that idea only works in Abrahamic Religions. While Krishna and Rama were avataras or manifestations who were born on earth and guide Dharma to mankind by engaging in Leela / līlā (divine play).
Can anybody help me in understanding the concept of god in vedic litrature
( vedas is oldest hindu and any religious scripture or text , its words are directly delivered by bhagwan himself just like quran's word are delivered by allha and in hinduism vedas are supreme and divine text )
Now according to vedas god is formless means god or bhagwan does not have any body like human or animal god is formless , divine , infinite/timeless and supreme conseousiness .....
Now you will confuse that if in Hinduism's supreme text says that god is formless then why we worship krishna and ram as supreme who has human form ...so let me tell you that story as well..
God is formless, divine but we believe that god who has delivered vadas he himself came to this earth and teach us dharm ( how to attain human form with truthness and in correct manner ) so RAM took birth and came to here in human form so as ramayan has written and teach us good things and manner then 5000 years ago krishna came here in human form and bhagvad gita has written , bhagwad gita is spoken by god himself so it is said bhagvad gita is as worthy as vadas and in bhagwad gita krishna says i am supreme personality of godhead ......
So god is indeed formless but we believe god has came on earth and at that time he took human form so that's why we worship ram and krishna as supreme who are incarnation of formless , divine and one god .
I hope u will understand why we worship god 's human form and so many god ...in our religion god is only one and formless but we worship their incarnations .
@@_KhushbuMakwana absolutely right bro good explanation
@@_KhushbuMakwana 100% Right
But whom to worship?
Only one God who is the creator of the universe
Whichever form of god you feel most connected to. It doesn’t matter, your worship will always go to god no matter the form.
Vishnu as in rig veda he is mentioned as vyapak prabhu .Vyapak means one who is present every where . Mind it here i am not stating ram or krishna But Vishnu alone . Only him you can worship .
Worship anyone because all are different aspects of the same source of creation.
Hear the Word of the Lord:
Hear and seek to understand: The Word of God is fire, each word a burning flame in the midst of an immense fire...
The countenance of The Lord is a fire,
And a flame within a fire...
The glory of The Lord is perfect,
A pure light, a flame within a flame...
A fire engulfing all creation!
YAHUWAH is One; and His name, One! His name is in Him and is Him. YAHUWAH is His name, and His name is One with Him. They are not separate, but one, even as The Father and The Son are One... A flame within a flame, within an immense fire.
YAHUWAH has no beginning and no end, even as His name. Therefore nothing is outside YAHUWAH, for His being is infinite. And those who pass outside creation enter into His eternal glory, or are burned up in His devouring fire, in His everlasting flame.
Therefore, no one may come to The Father except through The Son, YAHUSHUA, The Purifying Flame. For only The Holy Flame may dwell within The Fire, for YAH is holy. And all those void of The Flame will consume away; they shall cease to exist.
For ALL must pass through the fire,
ALL are subject to the power of The Flame...
The wicked purged, and the penitent purified.

जय श्री हरी
वैदिक विज्ञान को मैं पहले नहीं मानता था क्यूंकि पढ़ा ही नहीं था मैंने इसको लेकिन जब पढ़ा, समझा, जाना और दिमाग घुमा घुमा कर खूब सोचा तब समझ मे आया कि वैदिक ज्ञान विज्ञान ही सही है l
ज़ीरो ऋषिओं की देन है और आधुनिक विज्ञान इसको स्वीकार करता है और हर जगह प्रयोग करता है l ज़ीरो ना हो तो कोई एकाउंट्स, अर्थशास्त्र, भौतिक विज्ञान, रसायन विज्ञान, मेडिकल साइंस, स्पेस साइंस, रॉकेट साइंस, मिसाइल टेक्नोलॉजी तथा अन्य कोई भी विज्ञान एक कदम नहीं चल पायेगा l अगर ज़ीरो ना होता तो हम आज भी घोर अंधकार युग मे जी रहे होते तो करोडो करोडो और अनगिनत धन्यवाद l पूरी दुनिया को भारत का ऋण मानना चाहिए इस ज़ीरो के लिए l
ठीक ऐसे ही पुनर्जन्म, कर्मफल की खोज हुई थी भारत के द्वारा मगर विज्ञान इसको लेकर संकोच करता है l लेकिन कुछ दिनों बाद इनको भी मानेगा l
ज़ीरो तो वो ही खोज पायेगा जो पदार्थ, अणु, परमाणु, तरंग, आकाश, जीवात्मा, आत्मा, परमात्मा को खोजता हुआ आगे बढ़ेगा - तो जब ज़ीरो है तो फिर पुनर्जन्म, कर्मफल भी है l किसी के मानने या ना मानने या बहस करने से कुछ नहीं होता l
कर्मफल का सिद्धांत इतना सटीक और अटल है कि जो जैसा करेगा ठीक उतने ही परिमाण मे उसका फल भोगेगा ही भोगेगा - कोई बचाव ही नहीं है, कोई माफी भी नहीं है और कोई पूजा पाठ पश्चाताप भी काम नहीं आता है l आप किसी जीव को मारकर खाते हैं तो यकीन जानो कि आपको भी मारकर खाया ही जायेगा अगले जन्म मे और जब ये होता है तो दर्द, तड़पन का अहसास झेलना होगा l ये ब्रह्मांड का अटल नियम है जिससे सभी बंधे हैं l
