4.THE GOD – Male or Female?

THE GOD – Male or Female?

What is God? The Divine Question.!! The Creator of the Universe. The Absolute Truth. The man who has control over every single molecule in this universe. The God described in Bhagvad Gita, The God described in Bible or the God described in Quraan. Who is the God? Every scripture has visualized different characteristics about the God. So, does it mean that the God is different according to our religion? It is true that the God is only the creation of the mind of mankind? Millions of people have different concepts and beliefs about the God.

Every different concept about god has certain similarities. You can take any religion. There are such things which is similar like every name from any religion used for god is leads us to the thought that the God is the male entity. The creator of this universe is male? Let’s take an example to understand this concept. In Christianity the God is Jesus Christ. In Hinduism the God is Bhagavan. Although Hinduism has plenty of gods but the common term used for God is Bhagavan. In Islam the God is Allah. All these names Lord, God, Bhagavan, Allah or Christ, every name describes the male authority.

So it is any coincidence that every name specifies the male entity or is it true that the God is male? We are using terms life the God himself not herself. So what is the conclusion then? Let suppose the God is Female spirit then what do you think, does it change something? Who cares whether the god is he or she? It doesn’t make any changes. The faith in the god is the important thing.

We are living in the country of hypocrites. We are always differentiating between masculine & feminine. Especially in India we have variety of absurd rules & regulations which are made by different heads of religion. At one side they are saying things like, “The God is one & we all are children of God” and at other side they have made such rules which discriminates between male or female. Male can do such things but female has no right to do the same thing.

In Hinduism we have such so called rules like, the ladies cannot touch such statues of the God but gents can do. The Ladies do not have the authority to enter in such temples. They are using special words to symbolize it. The words are “Varjit” or “Nishiddh”. The most popular words to stop someone and most effective in listening. No one knows why such kinds of rules are & who has made such rules? We are just blindly following some peoples & those people are very smart in nature. What they call when someone tries to break their rules. They are using these magical words. After hearing these words most of the people avoid breaking that rules.

Those magical words are, “If you break the rule, you will go to hell.” and after hearing the word hell the dumb we just let the things as it was. No one tries to stand against such absurd things. In Hinduism, there are temples in which women are prohibited. Similar things are in Islam women are not allowed to enter in the masjid? why it is so? Why is this discrimination? May be there are such things. May be its all have some meaning. I am not against anything. Its our choice to follow or not. But still there are such things we have to think over.

In Every religion it is described that the God is The Absolute Spirit. The God is the Beginning and the God is End. The God is Formless, Shapeless and the Dimensionless. The smallest particle in the universe is made up from the God. Every moment we are living is the God. The God is neither he or she. The God has different forms which is derived in different entities like male and female. but the God is the spirit who is beyond any gender, form or shape. The god has no concern at all whether you are male or female. What matters is the faith in God that is all.
