What Does God Look Like

What Does God Look Like? Understanding the Nirguna and Saguna Aspects

|

Namastey Shikshanarthi’s

Imagine a young child gazing at the vast sky and asking, “What does God look like?” Does God have a form we can see, like the sun or the moon? Or is God an invisible force, like the wind or our thoughts? This question isn’t just a child’s curiosity—it has intrigued great thinkers, saints, and philosophers across centuries.

Indian scriptures have explored this mystery in depth. The Vedas describe God as Nirguna—formless, without attributes, and beyond comprehension. Meanwhile, the Puranas introduce us to Saguna forms—gods and goddesses like Shiva, Vishnu, and Durga, who have specific attributes and forms. Are these two ideas contradictory? Or do they together reveal a deeper truth?
