The Vedas confirm that God is Atman (Spirit), the Self. Thus, reject the Puranas and believe in the Vedas. The Puranas are just myths.
The Essence of Vedas:~ If you want to realize God is in truth, then accept Athma as God and reject all other Gods.
The seeker of truth must know the difference between Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma.
Thus, all the Puranic Gods, which are of the form and attributes, are not Vedic Gods.
Temple worship was not of the Vedic religion. Vedic religion, or Santana Dharma, is the world's oldest religion.
All the idol worship and temple worship were introduced by different saints and different founders of the sect propagating as their final authority.
Hindus do idol-worship while Vedas bars idol worship. When a Vedic God is the invisible Spirit or Atman, then it is not possible to have an idol and temple for the invisible God.
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is the Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.
Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
When Upanishads and Vedas declare that “God is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself,” then why accept another God in place of the Atman or worship other than the Atman?
Yajur Veda indicates that: ~ They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc. - (Yajurved 40:9)
Those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time."- (Yajur Veda 40:9).
The Vedas do not talk about idol worship. In fact, till about 2000 years ago, followers of Vedism never worshipped idols. Idol worship was started by the followers of Buddhism and Jainism.
There is logic to idol worship. Vedas speak of one God that is the Supreme Self, i.e., Atman or Soul, but Hinduism indulges in worshiping 60 million Gods. All these 60 million Gods are non-Vedic Gods based on the beliefs.
The Vedas confirm that God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; the Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman." (10:48, 5)
Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.
Rig Veda says God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why to believe and worship in place of real God.
Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God, there is no truth."
Chandogya Upanishad: ~ Sarvam khalvidam Brahma ~ All this (universe) is verily Brahman. By following back all of the relative appearances in the world, we eventually return to that from which it is all manifest – the non-dual reality. :~Santthosh Kumaar
