A GOD WHO IS FATHER: LOVING AND RESPECTING HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS

A God who is Father: Loving and Respecting His Sons and Daughters

We grew up believing in a God who rejects His own creation, accepting only a "chosen people," demanding worship and obedience through threats of terrible punishment and cruel death.

Unfortunately, instead of bringing peace to Earth, this concept brought prejudice, hatred, intolerance, and violence. Evil and destruction have dominated the planet, led by creatures who believe they are superior to the Divine Work. Many have fallen into the low self-esteem of "sinners," feeling unworthy of the love of a God who seems to demand adoration rather than seeking to be loved. Others simply stopped believing, thinking that if such a God existed, there wouldn't be so much evil.


The fact is: God exists. But He is the God of the Universe, not the God of just one people.

God is self-existent and self-sufficient. He is complete within Himself and has no needs. He does not need to be worshiped or obeyed; He knows who He is and is secure in Himself. He does not require a special nation, religions, prophets, or leaders. He is the Supreme Lord of the Universe.

Up to this point, we speak of the "concept of God"—a human term. But in the mind of the Most High, His goal is not to be "God" (a human construct); His goal is to be what He has always been: Father.

The Father is the Origin of All Things and the Source of All Life. He is the Father of humans, animals, and plants. He is Pati (Sanskrit), Abba (the Aramaic used by Lord Jesus); He is our Papai, our dear Father.

Pati is pure and innocent. He is the Eternal Supreme Good. He is infinite compassion; He is the Benevolent One. Pati is humility itself. He is essentially Love.

Pati is indeed just. He generated the system where each person reaps what they sow, and He does not interfere in the planting or the harvest. He demands nothing; He appreciates being loved spontaneously, never by imposition.

To those who seek Him and love Him, He teaches, guides, and educates—always respecting the limitations of His children, never forcing human or spiritual maturity. He respects the physical, mental, spiritual, cultural, and social conditions of every living being. To those who do not seek Him, He simply waits until they decide to do so, for Pati never forces one of His little ones.

Pati respects individuality. He understands that each person faces different psychological conditions and possesses their own limitations and skills. He knows that many can barely read or comprehend the life around them, and that none of us can be perfect through our own effort alone.

A true Father does not demand from a child with learning difficulties the same as He demands from a gifted child. He does not demand the life experience of an elder from a small child. He does not demand the same from a traumatized child as He does from one who has never faced trauma.

The Father is not an irrational God; He is not ignorant of the fragility of beings who do not even know if they will be alive a few hours from now. Spirituality is not collective. We are not labeled products on a cosmic shelf. The Father relates individually to each being, not through organizations.

This is the "All-Love" that Saiva Siddhanta speaks of—the sweetness and care of our Father. Yes, this is Shiva, the Benevolent. The destroyer of ignorance and fear. The one who brings humility, compassion, and peace. He is the one who walks barefoot among all His creatures and through the magnificent work generated by the energy of His own Being.

He reveals Himself face-to-face to the sons and daughters who choose to reflect His virtues. Those who let go of selfishness and separatism, desiring in their hearts to be as pure, innocent, and sweet as their Father.

The Shiva we refer to is the Pati of the Tamil people’s Saiva Siddhanta; He is not the "Shiva" of the Hindu Trinity.

Our journey is the result of decades of academic study in theology and philosophy. We wish to help people understand that God is pure, innocent, and truly loves all forms of life. God is Love itself (Anbe Sivam). It is impossible for the Father to cause suffering to any living being. He is the Eternal Supreme Good.

Anbe Sivam (God is LOVE).

SAIVA SIDDHANTA PHILOSOPHY - FREE ENGLISH VERSION

Imagem
SAIVA SIDDHANTA PHILOSOPHY Saivism The word Hinduism is a common name which denotes many Indian religions, including Saivism. It is not a religion by itself. Saivism or Saiva religion is the dominant religion of the Hindu fold. Saiva Siddhanta (Saiva Siththaantham in Tamil) is the philosophy of Saiva religion which considers Lord Siva as its primary deity. Siddhanta means the final conclusion (reached after taking into consideration all other important views). It is the popular philosophical system of the Tamils of South India, based on Saiva Agamas , Upanishds , ancient Tamil works, Thirumurais and Meykanda Sastra works. Who am I? Is there a God? What are the natures of God, Soul and the cosmos? What is my relationship with God and the worldly things? What is the reason for happenings in life over which one has no control? Such questions often arise in any philosophical system. Saiva Siddhanta gives plausible answers and explanations to them. Eternal Entities Saiva Siddhanta beli...

POR QUE NENHUMA FORMA DE GOVERNO FUNCIONA CORRETAMENTE?

Imagem
Por que nenhuma forma de governo funciona corretamente? Em todo o planeta, todos os seres humanos evoluíram simultaneamente ao status de humanidade como uma família, não como grupos isolados de seres estranhos. Praticamente, todos os seres humanos têm necessidades físicas, psicológicas, emocionais, sociais e espirituais muito semelhantes. Imagen: Freepik  Todos têm necessidade de alimentação nutricional adequada, necessidade de dormir e descansar, necessidade de serem tratos com respeito e dignidade, etc.  Mesmo o ateu tem necessidade espiritual: Cultivar belas qualidades humanas é uma necessidade do espírito, da Consciência, não do corpo físico. O planeta não precisa de um governo global, centralizado: Se cada governo se comportasse de forma humanista, ética, ecológica, sensata, respeitando os demais governos e povos, priorizando incondicionalmente a dignidade e os Direitos Humanos Universais , a Terra seria um lar muito agradável para a humanidade e todas as formas de vida....

A DIFERENÇA ENTRE SHIVA E OUTROS DEUSES

Imagem
A DIFERENÇA ENTRE SHIVA E OUTROS DEUSE S A maioria das pessoas cresceu com a ideia de um Deus que impõe o medo e não o Amor. Um Deus que tem ego e a necessidade constante de ser adorado. Uma Divindade que parece incapaz de compreender a complexidade humana e as limitações individuais de cada ser. Muitas vezes, esse conceito nos apresenta alguém que não entende que cada indivíduo foi moldado pela família, pela sociedade, pela cultura, por medos e crenças limitantes. Mesmo assim, esse "deus" exige que uma pessoa, muitas vezes fragilizada, acredite nele e lhe obedeça do dia para a noite, com uma perfeição inatingível. É o retrato de um Criador que, embora se diga pai de todas as vidas, ignora as limitações psicológicas, emocionais, intelectuais e físicas de seus filhos. Um Deus que parece ter medo de que olhem para outro lado, sempre desesperado por adoração, impondo ameaças de castigos horríveis e punições eternas. Ele quer ser obedecido, não amado. Ama somente quem serve aos s...
