Maybe it was Vishnu instead of Krishna, I don’t remember

From my understanding, this is the philosophical turn, vendata represents. This doesn’t effect all of today’s Hinduism. I read a little bit of Hare Krishna as a young adult and they stressed very much that Krishna is the highest personal god as in there are other gods as well but Krishna is the highest and it’s a personal god, not just a representation of an abstract idea. I don’t know what role Brahman plays in their view though.

I finally took the time to rewatch this video and Vishnu and Shiva have their cults who worship them as main god next to other lesser gods. I think what you are referring to is within vendata hinduism which isn’t explained in the linked video but the video is still worth watching.

I know most social media can’t be trusted because they are funded by Big Tech, but I thought lemmy is funded by Big Truth?

Jokes on you, I’m born even after 1900 and I’m still alive!

Not exactly. For some yes but that’s the polytheistic part. Different from (early) Judaism, monotheistic Hinduism isn’t “my God is the only one” but more like “the god we already agreed to be one of the main gods is actually the only one and the others are expressions of this one or lesser beings”. There are 2 or 3 candidates for that but all are very canonically important in all of Hinduism. There is still a lot of diversity and it’s more about which school you belong to. I think some have a more abstract way where it’s not a specific god but more the dualistic idea of a Big Other if that makes sense. There are also non dualistic schools which fit more into pantheism (god=universe). I simply a lot and I’m already no expert. Let’s Talk Religion has a good series on YouTube about Hinduism.

Hinduism is a very diverse religion. There are polytheistic, monotheistic, pantheism and many more under that umbrella

The meme isn’t talking about the 50s but about the youth of people orn in the 50s, so ±70s

For those mathematicians saying “tHiS isN’T tRUe”: The tweet is exactly 2 years old. So much about that.

Very dialectical of you. Are you some kind of communist?

They are called “permanent” for a reason

Isn’t there a community for that? c/hydrohomies or something. Don’t know which insurance and too lazy to search

I edited my comment, I had it mixed up, it’s the other way around

Fun fact: frown is in British English the first image and in American English the second one iirc. The origin is French and means something like cloudy

Edit: I got it the wrong way around:

In the UK, a frown is like when you furrow your eyebrows
