Even now "I" exist as thoughts (thinking machine). Before birth also the same. This continues until a thoughtless state, the Source , the witness of all thoughts.Quote:
So did I exist before birth ? As what ?

The universal truth is simple
aham Bhramasmi Ayam Bhramasmi Jai Bholenath!
Words like the above without meaning , just denoting a image, makes the Universal Truth complicated in discussions.Quote:
Bholenath!

You are right, in Sanskrit Bhole (Universe) Nath(god) , implying God of universe. But Shiva devotees used that word to denote Shiva.Quote:

Another word Jaganath, in sanskrit means Jag (universe) nath (god or king), implying god or king of universe. But Vishnu devotees used that word to denote Vishnu.
Vishnu and Shiva and Brahma are three names denoting three functions of Cosmic Energy. They are "not" three different individuals. Lack of this understanding creates wars and hinders the progess of Bhakthi.
Yes , you are right. But Jagadesha denotes lord Shiva, If you listen to the Gayathri Mantra , it goes like thisQuote:

The word Isha (Isa in Christianity, Islam) also denotes Supreme truth,...I believe the culture known as 'Hinduism' actually orginated from middle east, not from today's India
what are your thoughts on this?
Correct, this was deployed by scholars to educate us about the different stages of a life perishable body goes through... Hindusim is a practical reality of life rather than a religion (re align with God).Quote:

Some fight over ruling partY (Shivaites, Vaishnavites) vs Oppositin party (Shivaites, Vaishnavites) :lol:
If that is true , the names Bholenath and Jaganath represents both Shiva and Vishnu depending on the individual who identifies with a particular name and form for represrnting "God (Consciousness)".Quote:
