Do Hindu scriptures say that Surya is Supreme Hindu god?
Surya Sukta 1.50.1 is about passage of a wave of muscle tone from feet to top of head. We can have the same effect by looking at the afternoon Sun. Therefore, Surya Sukta is not actually about the Sun. #SanatanaDharma
A popular Sukta as it is one in which a thought passes from Nirguna Brahman stage, through all 7 stages, across Saguna Brahman into an action. Its one reason why Surya is a candidate for supreme god. However, the knowledge about Surya in Rig Veda is too little. #SanatanaDharma
Many Hindu gods are supposed to be supreme gods? Why is it so?
The Hindu sages of Rig Vedic period realized that for a thought to be converted into a reliable and efficient action it has to be processed in an unknown number of stages and in an unknown order. #SanatanaDharma
Ideally, the idea has to be converted into an action from the first, or Indra stage or the stage of daydreaming. However, the idea stagnates in one or more of the stages. Therefore, it has to be ensured that the idea passes through all of the seven stages. #SanatanaDharma
Thus, in Ashwa-Rig Veda 1.163, the idea is converted into action in Yama stage or the stage of compulsion.
Rudra too symbolizes the final stage at which the idea is converted into an action. #SanatanaDharma
Where does Brahman, the Supreme Hindu god stand here?
Brahman is the seven stage thinking mechanism that ensures that all thoughts and activities of our life are eternally compatible, even when the real world keeps changing. #SanatanaDharma
Brahman is actually a 3D cursor in Purusha, which by moving in these 3 axes ensures that the thought/action is compatible with all other thoughts/activities of our life under all conditions.
While Surya was one of the important gods of Rig Veda that ensured passage of the idea through all the seven stages it can’t be considered as the Hindu supreme god. The reference to Surya is allegorical. #SanatanaDharma

One should never reveal certain things in front of others.
It’s great if you are loved and respected by all, but don’t show it off in front of others- doing so will lower your respect in the eyes of others

If you have to face insult at any point in your life, it’s best to keep it to yourself; telling that to everyone you know will make you feel insulted in front of others as well.

Tantra is an abstract religion, it doesn't have a clear definition. Different seekers define it differently, many not even consistent with each other. Tantra, though, is clearly recognized as being very different from the ancient Hindu Vedic tradition. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Before trying to delve into tantrism, it is important to understand that this is not a single coherent system. It is rather a tradition that gradually evolved from an accumulation of practices and rituals, in order to attain the grace of the divine. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The practitioner of tantra uses his own prana or divine energy in order to harness it to the universal prana, thereby attaining his goal. The goal in question could be either spiritual, material or both. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tantra in Hinduism could be considered to be parallel to the Hindu Vedic tradition. Tantra contains written records of the Agama, which comes in four main parts, as follows: #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Jnana or metaphysical knowledge
Yoga or meditative practices
Kriya or ritual practices
Charya or ethical and religious principles of conduct #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
Most of the staunch Hindu Vedic practitioners, however, consider the Tantras to be anti-Vedic in character and hence, altogether shun both the cult and the practitioners of the same. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The universe consists of a Mahabrahmanda, or grand Cosmos, and of numerous Brihatbrahmanda, or macrocosms evolved from it. As is said by the Nirvana Tantra, all which is in the first is in the second. #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In the latter are heavenly bodies and beings, which are microcosms reflecting on a minor scale the greater worlds which evolve them. "As above, so below." This mystical maxim of the West is stated in the Vishvasara Tantra as follows: #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
