Human body is said to have 12 impurities, as discussed in this QnA.

What about gods? As discussed in one of the answer in this QnA, God created the humans in his image. So, do gods also possess these 12 impurities similar to humans?

  • First off, "God" is a phenomenon and not a "being" that too a physical being. And Deities are not the same as "God" the phenomenon. Deities are abstractions that can be realized within us. So to avoid misinterpretations it is better to stick to Sanskrit terms such as - Bhagawan and Devata etc.

    Since you talk about Gods, I presume Devatas here. No - since they are energies, they are definitely not subject to the impurities that you list. They are realities that can be observed in the state of Turiya. Hence Turiya is listed as the state of Gods.

  • You told that gods definitely not subject To impurities . brother plz prove with reference – Pasham Vishnu Vardhan Goud May 21 '21 at 17:34
  • Please read Talk 30, Talk 617 (page 599) in this link - https://selfdefinition.org/ramana/Talks-with-Sri-Ramana-Maharshi--complete.pdf. That is the nearest I could find which clearly indicate that deities are not physical beings. PS: In my comment above the sentence must read "They are realities that can be observed." – Siv May 21 '21 at 18:31
  • Plz give reference form Hindu scripture – Pasham Vishnu Vardhan Goud May 22 '21 at 06:31
  • In Shiva Purana kumaraswamy born form semen of lord Shiva – Pasham Vishnu Vardhan Goud May 22 '21 at 06:33
  • Semen is impurity . – Pasham Vishnu Vardhan Goud May 22 '21 at 06:33
  • You are mixing two entirely different things - the Smriti (remembrances) and Shruti. Puranas are personified imagery meant for kids just like the Panchatantra which was a personified imagery of the Niti Shastra. What I quoted above was a direct Yogic insight into reality. So I leave it up to you to decide whether you want stories OR the unvarnished reality. – Siv May 22 '21 at 12:33
  • You are telling that puranas are myth ond stories – Pasham Vishnu Vardhan Goud May 22 '21 at 14:23
  • Let us continue this discussion in chat. – Siv May 22 '21 at 16:35
  • may puranas are myth . but itihasas are history and real . I want to know that itihasa Ramayana tells about kurmaraswamy birth form semen of Shiva. According to you devatas do not have impurities like semen . but history is telling that Shiva as semen means impurity – Pasham Vishnu Vardhan Goud May 23 '21 at 06:25
