Raam, your explanation is in detail but comes from those who were god believers.
The reason why, tat tvam asi is not accepted by vaishnavites, is simply because they are dvaitists,while the saying itself was from an advaitist point of view.
Vaishnavism predominantly painted the god as "HE" while Shaivism accepted the "SHE" and "IT" part. That is why in vedas and upanishads we do see the "SHE" and "IT" part. that is why we have "You art thou" belief with shaivitic cults rather than vaishnavitic cults.
That which those(the early settlers from nomaidc life) accepted or wanted to be accepted in a society came as sanatana dharma. That does not mean other things did not exist.Private Reply to Ganesh Ram (new win) |
