Hello all,
I know Hinduism is often considered mankind's "true" religion on here, but the more I read, the more evidence I find that current Hinduism is highly corrupt. I think Vishu/Krsna might have been changed from the original Vishnu of the Vedas and the original historical personality Krishna into an alternative form of YHWH. I don't want to believe it, but I'm laying the evidence out here in case someone else may know more on the topic.
-The highest authority in all of Hinduism are the texts known as the Vedas, which are the oldest spiritual texts in the world. In the Vedas, Indra is the Supreme God. This Indra is the equivalent of the Greek Zeus and the Egyptian Amon-Ra. However, worship of Indra has been systemically suppressed in favor of worship of the Puranic Visnu and Siva. In particular, Visnu is considered to represent the sun. In Ancient Egypt, Akenaten (of the enemy) tried to overthrow Amon-Ra to institute exclusive sun worship in the form of Aten. This draws a link in my mind between Aten (also known as "the One") and Visnu.
-Prayers to the Puranic Visnu and Siva always refer to them as superior to Indra, which clearly goes against the Vedas, in which Indra is established unequivocally as the Supreme God. Furthermore, legends involving Visnu and his incarnations often involve him subjugating/conquering Vedic Gods such as Indra and Varuna.
-Indra in the Vedas is referred to as extremely powerful, but never as "the One in Whom all is contained." In contrast, Visnu, Siva, and later Puranic Gods are often referred to as "the One," which is surprisingly similar to terminology used to refer to Aten and YHWH.
-The Caitanya Upanishad, which Vaishnavas refer to in order to proclaim the efficacy of their Mahamantra, the divinity of Caitanya, and the supremacy of Krsna, was most likely made up very recently. Apparently Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura after a "long and arduous" search "discovered" a brand new Upanishad proclaiming the divinity of the Vaishnava Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and apparently that Upanishad had been "hidden" for all these centuries because the souls weren't "evolved enough spiritually" to discover it. Hmm... but I thought in the Kali Yuga, souls would be in the lowest condition ever spiritually? Speaking of the Kali Yuga, that is a corruption, too. The original Vedas make no mention of a Kali Yuga. However, admittedly there have been many cultures that speak of a 24,000-26,000 cycle. However, the Bhagavad Purana, which I'll speak more of below, says every year in the ~25,000 cycle corresponds to not a human year, but that of the "demigods" which is equivalent to a 1,000 human years or so. In other words, the Bhagavad Purana is trying to manipulate people into thinking the Kali Yuga lasts a lot longer than it actually does, and then it also says that Visnu/Krsna worship is the only means of escaping Kali Yuga. At the end of Purana, it is stated that Visnu will arrive on a horse with a sword to slay all the "evil ones" very similar to the second coming of Christ.
-Lastly, the Bhagavad Purana, the main text of the Vaishnavas, has some very odd stories:
1) apparently, the "mercy" of Krnsa is that anyone who worships him will eventually become poverty-stricken and ruined (this is explicitly stated) because he is the only god who "cares enough about you" to make you not care about the "material world"
2) this last one seriously gave me pause -- the text literally says the devil (the Vedic Vritra, the equivalent of Egyptian Apep, NOT Satan) has merged into Visnu. The fundamental conflict in the Vedas is between Indra, protector of mankind and bringer of waters, and Vritra, the bringer of drought and deceiver of mankind. Vritra is the biggest, baddest, most horrific demon to exist. But in the Bhagavad Purana, Vritra is called a "holy Brahmin" and he merges into Visnu. WTF? So by worshipping Visnu, one is worshipping the deceiver of mankind who brings drought?
I know this is really long, but I hope someone can give me feedback on whether it makes sense. I had come across the Hare Krsna movement a few years ago and began really taking an interest in Krsna, but I think the whole concept of Visnu/Krsna might be deceptive and evil, and not related to Satan at all. I had seen some posts on here saying "Visnu is Satan" because of the connection between yoga and Satanism, but if anything, the real Satan is Indra, Brahma, or maybe even Shiva, but not the current conception of Visnu/Krnsa.
I'm very sorry if anyone has astrally communiated with Visnu/Krsna and I am totally wrong.
