Part 3.1 - Hindu Gods and Goddesses of Bali

Indian Hindu Gods and Goddesses

According to Huemerta, Hinduism is believed to have started about 4,000 years ago, somewhere in the present Indus Valley in Pakistan. Hinduism took place as soon as the Aryan people, whose hometown in Central Asia, developed towns within the Indus Valley and linked the gods belonging to the local population in the Indus valley.. Hinduism has become a belief of existence and trust, including gods that can include world duplexes. For example, some gods were considered both women and men.

Explain and teach that during the first century, Hindus, Indians, began to reverence Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma as their respective 3 gods. This development of Indian Hinduism sometimes means that the gods have forgotten (no longer satisfied). Other gods, formerly great gods, were converted to simple gods (gods who are grateful to the souls of Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma). At present, many Indians still respect Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma, as their three main gods. Vishnu is delighted as the leader of the universe. As a suprema of the universe, Vishnu is also a life-supporting person. On the other hand, Shiva is considered the god of irony or duplex and generally worships Brahma as the founder of the universe.

Studies show that many people in Hinduism today are satisfied with Brahman (not to be confused with Brahma) as an exclusive God. However, some scholars assumed that Indian Hinduism did not develop into an Islamic religion. The reason for this, Indian Hinduism has many people, so far, who satisfy many gods and goddesses such as the souls of Brahman (which include Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma). Other scientists have predicted that Indian Hinduism has become an Islamic religion mostly since most Hindus in India, although they can satisfy more than one Brahman spirit, Brahman says, showing that all things are universal. Finally, Indian Hinduism can be pluralistic and monotheistic.

Hindu Gods and Goddesses of Bali

According to Wimerta, there are many similarities between Hindu Balinese and Hindu Hinduism. For example, in Indian Hinduism, many people are satisfied with Brahman as a great God, and in Balinese Hinduism, many people accept Sanjiang and Woody Wassa as a great God. Sanghyang Widhi Wasa Like Brahman, because Sanghyang Widhi Wasa is considered a person who includes all the world duplexes. In addition, Sanghyang Widhi Wasa is considered to have multiple lives.

It shows that historically, Balinese did not incorporate the gods, in Balinese Hinduism, without changing their assumptions or the form they intensified. As a result, although most of the Hindu gods and the Bali gods eventually came from Indian Hinduism, today there are not many guarantees between, for example, Durga of Balinese Hinduism and Durga. Indian Hinduism. In Indian Hinduism, Durga is one of the female spirits of the god Shiva. Shiva's strange thought is added to explain Indian Hindu faith that Shiva can take the form of Cali or Paravati and Uma.
