what gods?[edit]

Shiva,vishnu,brahma are Affiliation with different(devas)

a stream can dry up if it's cut off from the ocean, but the ocean will not dry up if its cut off from tiny stream, so saying that the devas carry the full power of Brahman making them equal to the infinite is wishfull thinking.

"Auṃ – That supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned Brahman is infinite. The infinite proceeds from infinite. If you subtract the infinite from the infinite, the infinite remains alone."

((infinite remains alone))

"In Judaism, God is an absolute one, indivisible and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. While in Hinduism, gods are considered for having the similar status to another,[17] as distinct, but it can be also be seen as "aspects or manifestations of a single, transcendent god",[17] or an "impersonal absolute".[17]"

This is what i think you should have wrote!

In Judaism, God is an absolute one, indivisible and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. While In hinduism Brahman is the essense of existance it's self, it is the unchanging reality amidst and beyond the material realms of worlds, it is without a begining nore an end and cannot be defined by the merits of a single deva no more than the strength of a ocean current can be defined by a tiny trickle of a river stream, brahman has no Gender title as in "HE" "SHE" "MOTHER" "FATHER" as this would donate to the idea that God is Of lower human "Form" rather than a higher plane of infinite formless existance, this of course is why no images or idols have ever been made to praise brahman, instead different aspects of powers of brahman are worshipped via the "artistic" forms of the devas.

So Please try and write a better script on what god means in hinduism and please dont feel shy to drop the title Brahman, not to be mixed up with brahma the deva or brahmin ect — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.96.38 (talk) 23:27, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Section[edit]

Is the lead section improved enough to remove the disclaimer? Houdinipeter (talk) 16:38, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is this article about?[edit]

It’s not clear what this article is attempting to say. Did Hinduism have a significant historical influence on Judaism (or vice-versa)? Is it commonly alleged that Hinduism had a significant historical influence on Judaism (or vice-versa)? If neither is so, then the article needs to be removed. If one is so or both are so, then the article needs to make the case that one is so or both are so, clearly and unambiguously. TheScotch (talk) 23:32, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I came to the talk page to ask the very same question. I think the article needs to be flagged for a desired cleanup. SkaraB 21:26, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1.) An article does not need to have an "agenda" and any article without said agenda does not need to be removed. Objectivity is desired. 2.) The influences become very clear when reading the full article. Maybe English isn't your first language, you could propose to make another version in the Simple Wikipedia. That could be helpful for others too. 89.56.176.205 (talk) 22:09, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re. mention of the Vedas[edit]

It seems misleading to me to refer to "those Hindu scriptures that are monotheistic, such as the Vedas", for one because the authors of the Vedas weren't Hindus, given that Hinduism hadn't come into existence, for another because the Vedic religion wasn't monotheistic. I don't know if this is what the author meant to say or not? SkaraB 21:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
