Although there are a few people who claim that they have seen God, nobody has actually seen the, because there were no supporting facts to prove it. God is the picture of a pure and selfless being. There are so many religions that have their own versions and definitions of God. In Hindu, god is worshiped in the human form (men and women), most gods are celebrated that way too. Now, this is the questions, why is it that the gods have images or pictures when none of the people have actually seen them?

 

One reason for it is that according the old book of Vedas and books, men and women resemble the gods. There are so many old religious books that were written hundreds of years ago which gives some descriptions about gods. In those texts, you can find explanations and descriptions of what the gods look like and what are the people's tradition towards them that have been passed from generations to generations. The forms of worship in the temples are just as the same. Everything are still the same for thousands of years.

 

If you're going to observe the gods, you will notice that they are in the figures of beautiful men and women. Now, the question again is why is it that way? Did the ancestors have truly seen them in the flesh? The answer is going to be yes. As told by the Hindu philosophers, gods have two forms. One, is a selfless form, wherein his existence is beyond any reach of the human's senses and the second is in the form or ordinary people. Extra information regarding this are accessible here.

 

On the first form, it's not possible for one to see, touch or smell them, therefore, there is no way for one to create a physical image for them. The second form however, is the human form of God. According to the Hindu philosophy, the gods rebirth in the physical happens when crimes have over ruled the world.  The gods are reborn this way to liberate those who are in need of help. Most of the gods are being worshiped in their physical forms.

 

Older people are a lot more intellectual than others. Worshiping was done in this manner for people to reach their pure selves. Worshiping a god is best when there is a physical image for you to see, this makes you feel closer to them. Added references about this are defined in this website. This is why the elders are true believers in worshiping the gods in their physical forms, this is done for the people to not only have a spiritual connections but a spiritual presence too.

 

Understanding the existence of the gods of another religion can be confusing. But with more research you will understand the significance of them being resembled to men and women. You can find some references on the internet or in the local public library.
