BHAGAVAD GITA The most popular amongst all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagavad Gita. Consider the following verse from the Gita: Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures. [Bhagavad Gita 7:20] The Gita states that people who are materialistic worship demigods i.e. �gods� besides the True God UPANISHADS: The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus. The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God: Ekam evadvitiyam He is One only without a second. [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1 Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah. Of Him there are neither parents nor lord. [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]2 Na tasya pratima asti There is no likeness of Him. [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3 The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form: Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam. His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye. [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4 1[The Principal Upanishad by S.

There are four principal Vedas: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda and Atharvaveda. Yajurveda The following verses from the Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God: na tasya pratima asti There is no image of Him. [Yajurveda 32:3]5 shudhama poapvidham He is bodyless and pure. [Yajurveda 40:8]6 Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements (Air, Water, Fire, etc.). They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti. [Yajurveda 40:9]7 Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc. The Yajurveda contains the following prayer: Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander.

It is also the one considered most sacred by the Hindus. The Rigveda states in Book 1, hymn 164 and verse 46: Sages (learned Priests) call one God by many names. [Rigveda 1:164:46] The Rigveda gives several different attributes to Almighty God. Many of these are mentioned in Rigveda Book 2 hymn 1.
