I think the word for the type of Vaishnavism explained above is <b>Henotheism</b>. i.e the abject faith in a single deity without actually denying existence of other deities. The Jews originally had this type of faith comprising of Yahweh/El Lohim and Sophia among others.... before a Patriach (Moses probably) turned them into strict Monotheism. A nation or people who have a henotheistic outlook has a good chance of going dangerously monotheistic...... to the extent of destroying anyone who doesn't fit into their worldview. The dynamics in the Jewish nation, the cult wars of the Persians etc are pointers to this. We have to see to it that there is always dialog between the sects and that we present a united front when it comes to the crunch.


Though not 100% in agreement with my "personal" Hindu faith, I guess Vaishnavites have every right top practice and preach their version. <b>I suggest we start a thread where people can describe and discuss their ideas about their "personal" Hinduism, their favourite deity, shaping experiences etc</b>. Maybe we will understand why Hinduism is so timeless and all encompassing. The dialog might also help us appreciate each other and give us a chance to iron out or at least understand differences. I always have a fear that due to millenia old experiences from the desert faiths, Hinduism might be go into inflexible mode and be tainted by ideas like apostasy, unending hellfire, sin etc.... Think of this as Hindus Anoynomous counselling group or something <!--emo&Smile--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
