The Acceptable Agni And The Fire God

Greek Gods come in many different forms and sizes and looks. The greek god Hephaestus a very smart and strong god he is the god of metal and craftsmanship and he is also the god of fire the legend has it the Hephaestus lived in a volcano where he could craft his weapons and tools he created for all the other gods in the heavens.

Ganesha, the Elephant-Headed God, is the most worshipped god in the Hindu religion most commonly practiced in India. He represents Wisdom and the distinction between good and bad and is the leader of ganas, also known as beings.

     The first god that I would like to focus on is Saturn. Saturn was the god of agriculture to both the Roman and Greek. He was, however, known to the Greeks as a different name. His name was Cronus. He had all of

gods of fertility and the agricultural cycle, the creation gods, and the great traditional deities. the

First, Edwards uses repetition of intimidating imagery to give weight to his language. For example, he uses God’s anger to add a frightening effect to his sermon; Edwards creates this effect by using God’s  “anger…, towards [natural men]” as a scare tactic. Moreover, he extends the scare tactic to how God’s “wrath towards you burns like fire.” He once again declares God’s wrath, but this time adds fire, which personifies God’s rage in an unnerving way. The usage of fire further adds to the magnitude of Edwards’ word. And in all honesty, Edwards paints an extremely horrifying picture of how God’s wrath might effect and intimidate a

For the most part, when there is a decision made such as multiple human lives or wrong deaths, the gods take that into consideration and come up with a decision together. Although, when it involves protection over a person of just allowing a person to see something in a dream, the gods do not speak with other gods. That one god that is making the decision makes it alone. Therefore, the big decisions such as life, death, and the eradication of a species seems to go through multiple gods. Though, the small decisions such as helping or favor seems to go through only the god that is involved. All in all, the gods play a significant role in the fate of the people. They determine life and death, health and strength. The gods can make really good things happen to people or really awful things happen to

Hinduism is a religion that follows concepts of the Upanishads, which includes the Brahman, Atman, Maya, Karma, Samsara, and Moksha. The concepts provide guidance throughout life and are key to a final death. The Brahman is something one believes in and is experience in the world that surround him. The Atman is who we are the identity of our soul, an understanding we are not just a body we are more. “The term Brahman refers to the experience of the sacred within nature and the external universe, while Atman refers to the experience of the sacred within oneself” (Molloy, 2013, p. 83). Along with understanding the spiritual aspect of nature and one’s soul is understanding how this effects every living thing. The Maya which can be referred to as magic or illusion is an important factor in life and death. “Hinduism, form

Vishnu, to his worshipers, is all-powerful and supreme. He is believed to be to god from whose navel a lotus sprang giving birth to Brahma, the creator. Vishnu created the universe by separating the heavens and the earth and has rescued it on a number of occasions. As Hopfe and Woodward state “Vishnu is known as a god of love, benevolence, and forgiveness (Hinduism 94).” “ In some incarnations, he has come as a man.” (94). The third popular god is Brahma, the creator of the world.

The purpose of Spanish conquests during the 1500s was to spread Christianity to indigenous peoples. In the movie, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Lope De Aguirre travels the jungles and mountains of the Incan Empire on a treacherous conquest will an ulterior motive of finding the illustrious legend of “El Dorado,” a kingdom “…where gold was said to be so plentiful that it was thrown into a sacred lake in an annual ritual” (Primary Source, 4). Aguirre, in an attempt for power, overthrows the leader of the expedition, Pedro De Ursua. With little regard to the indigenous people of the conquest, Aguirre ruthlessly strives toward the general purpose of his conquest: gaining power and finding “El Dorado.” In Aguirre: The Wrath

There were also some “lesser deities” who did not deal with aspects of nature, but still had a great impact on that time. One such example was Ishtar, the goddesses and queen of love and fertility who provided women with their

Hinduism followers have not been the only followers we have heard of during the years. That follow in a certain religion more than one God. During ancient times in the Greece and Roman Era. Greeks and Romans were polytheism. Their Religion was Mythology a religion that worshipped a group of Gods. The Greeks and Romans adored their Gods whole heartily, like Hinduism followers do today in modern society. Ancient Greece and Rome were two extraordinary empires. When it comes to comparing and contrasting Rome and Ancient Greece some might think, that Rome and Greece might be quite different in beliefs; but in my opinion the reality is they are almost

Brahma is the god of creation. In today’s world, he is the least worshipped god in India. There are only two temples in all of India dedicated to him (Brahma). Brahma has a unique look, with four heads and four arms. The second god, Vishnu, is the god of preservation. Thus far in creation, he has been said to be incarnated nine times. Worshippers believe that he will incarnate one last time near the end of the world. Similarly, to what Paul thought of Jesus, “Like any major god, Vishnu is involved in a number of colorful stories which illustrate his virtues as the protector of cosmic order” (Vishnu). Vishnu is uniquely depicted by having blue skin, and four arms. In his four hands, he holds objects representing what he is dependable for. Shiva, the last god, is the god of destruction. In Hinduism, destruction is considered necessary for new life forms to appear. Shiva is portrayed by his blue face and white body, three eyes, and four arms.

The god Vishnu is the creator, and Shiva is the destroyer. One is not looked upon as better than the other. This shows the ultimate realism that the Hindu culture possesses. These are not the only gods in Hindu culture. There are many others and all have special skills and talents. The gods themselves also give birth to the idea of avatars, or the form of god when he or she comes to earth.

In contrast to majority of devout religions, Hinduism participates in the worship of many gods – thus making it a polytheistic religion consisting of a Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The Brahma is the The Creator, and a member of the Hindu Trinity. Brahma intimately creates everything in the universe. In addition, Vishnu maintains the balance and harmony of the universe. Last but not least, Shiva perpetually destroys the universe: “it’s the necessary step to make renewal possible” (Hindu Gods and

Although, Hinduism might be regarded by some as a polytheistic religion in its most basic form Hinduism is based around one deity. The Brahma is the god that all of the other gods are derived from and each god is a manifestation of the one being. There are four other main deities, aside from Brahma,
