| | C_System |
 | | Hindus and pundits that often lie, claim that the caste system came from men and not from their gods, then if this is so their Hindu scriptures and gods are not true, because the Hindu scriptures themselves claim that their gods instituted, ordained and set up the caste system. | | | Observe that we have four classes or castes created by the Hindu lord, the priests are of the Brahmana caste, the rulers are of the Ksatriya caste, the commoners are of the Vaisya caste and the servants are of the Sudra caste. | | | The scriptures and gods that command the caste system are obviously not of the true God. |

| | World Scripture - Andrew Wilson |
| | The Theravada scriptures are written in Pali, a language formerly of northwestern India; with the advent of Buddhism Pali became the common language among the Buddhist monks of South Asia. | | | There are inevitable dissimilarities between the scriptures of religions with a tightly circumscribed canon limited to texts used by the founder and his immediate disciples, e.g., Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, and the scriptures of religions with an open canon that includes texts of many periods in the religion's history, e.g., Mahayana Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. | | | The scriptures of religions with a narrow canon are limited to one or a few books--the Bible, the Qur'an, the Adi Granth--while the scriptures of religions with an open canon may include hundreds of books: sutras, upanishads, agamas, shastras, puranas, tantras, and commentaries. |

| | Questions about Hinduism - Hindu American Foundation [HAF] |
| | Hindu scripture is an extensive collection of ancient religious writings that are collectively known as the Vedas and Agamas, which were revealed by God to ancient sages. | | | As such, Hinduism is monotheistic and henotheistic; monotheistic in its belief in one God and henotheistic in that any one God can be worshipped without denying the existence of other Gods. | | | Hinduism is rich in scripture, but does not have a “Bible” in terms of one central, authoritative book. |

| | Apologetics Press - An Investigation of Hindu Scripture |
| | The scripture and the gods sprang from the “Lord,” Brahma, who is the manifestation of the Absolute principle of the Universe. | | | Hindu scripture often is referred to collectively as the Vedas, a Sanskrit word meaning “knowledge” (from the root vid- “to know”; cognate to wit, wisdom). | | | Though Christians believe scripture to be the complete, written record of specific truths revealed by God, Hindus consider scripture to be the whole of universal truth that may be discovered. |

| | The Agamas are sectarian scriptures dealing with the worship of a particular aspect of God and prescribing detailed courses of discipline for the worshipper. | | | In the olden days, the knowledge of scriptures was passed on by the word of mouth, taught by a teacher. | | | Lord Shree Krishna's upadesh (advise) to Arjuna in the battlefield of Mahabharata is one of the most important Hindu scriptures in Hindu dharma. |

| | SHOULD A DEVOTEE |
| | In case you do not know, this is a "sacred" Hindu scripture about Hindu gods and "holy" men and their behaviour. | | | In a Hindu scripture, the LINGA PURANA, printed in by a board of Indian scholars from India, sponsored by UNESCO and the Government of India, sold in any puja store for you to buy and read, is a most obscene story of the gods (or is it god?) Shiva and Dharma. | | | The offensive materials in our tracts are from the Hindu scriptures, the Maha Sabha knows that, but prefer to mislead the people and accuse us of writing offensive tracts to detract from the fact that they CANNOT justifiably answer the tracts except they admit that the Hindu religion is wrong. |

| | Prophet Muhammad (s) in Hindu Scriptures |
| | For a long time, the Hindu Scriptures were primarily in the hands of Pandits and a small group of men who had learned Sanskrit (The majority of the Hindu population knew Hindi and could comprehend only a smattering of Sanskrit words). | | | In the context of Biblical scriptures this word meant a descendant of Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), and it is well known that Muhammad (s) is a descendant of Prophet Ismail through his second son Kedar. | | | It is well known that the Hindus love hero worship, and it is reasonable to assume that over a long period of time the high regard and reverence for some Prophets led to some of them considered as god or God. |

| | Yoga Philosophy Logical |
| | Hindu scripture says that “Brahman is one” (is an undivided unity) but appears to be many due to the process of “differentiation.” [5] The mathematical definition of difference is that which is obtained by subtraction. | | | According to Hindu scripture, “Brahman is all” [1] and yet “Brahman is without attributes.” [2] Having zero attributes, Brahman is called “sunya,” which is Sanskrit for void and the number zero. | | | So the Absolute identity of each thing (0) is the same as, and thus is united with, the Absolute identity of everything (0); which also explains why Hindu scripture proclaims that the absolute nature of things is nonexistent (0). |
