I think you could get down on Brahma for sure man. Look up God/Trinity with (hindu) beside it on wikipedia and click around on the links of the names on the names of the god/dess. Birth.sustaining.dea th(rebirth) is the basic theme.
There is alot of vague specific attributes to what god is.
It's really pretty cool, Hindu is more of a culture than religion deep down, as the dogma is pretty wide, at least I feel, from my perspective. While I realize ANYTHING can be dogmatic when it's applied. Reading anything with an open heart is also available to you just the same. I found so really good metaphors and language to describe thoughts and feelings I've had in my life and really think there are parts of Hindu philosophy that described how I felt in church and about god when I was young and now, that the Bible ever had. And mixing the Hindu explanation with the Bible's allegories really brought everything into a new light for me. Finally after years of reading other texts, last year around this time I finally really was able to pick up the Bible and find meaning in it. It doesn't make you a Hindu to find a little understanding from it....or does it
I think that is one of the biggest things that happen here on YaHooka, is people talking about their influences and working through and with them as we talk TO and WITH each other about them. Adding to all our collective understanding of how people find personal meaning, through their individual vehicles.
