Process panentheism refers to a form of theology that avoids many of the difficulties associated classical and materialistic naturalism. It places sensory perception on a different mode of perception and explains God's interaction with the mind, body, & God. This view also avoids problems related to dualism or supernaturalism.
Hinduism
Hinduism is a multitheistic religion. It can be divided into various categories such as monotheistic or panentheistic. Hinduism is the belief that one god has many roles and qualities. A panentheist believes that all of the universe is part of a single being or Brahman.
The word panentheistic comes from Greek roots and means "God is in everything." This view is based upon the Bradaranyaka Upanisad (a Hindu scripture). This scripture recounts a dialogue between a student and a sage.
Neoplatonism
Neoplatonism refers to a panentheistic religion that holds God to be both the transcendent One as well as the World-Soul. The former is immanent in this world. This outlook is carried over from Heraclitus' panentheistic theology. He believed that everything is one.
Panentheism is one of many related theologies. They all share some fundamental affirmations. You will discover the differences and similarities among this family of beliefs by a thorough investigation.
Kashmir Shaivism
Kashmir Shaivism claims that there is only One Creator, or Absolute Reality, who exists in all creation and is the source of all knowledge and life. Paramasiva (the creator) cannot be fully described as He is infinite. Consequently, no mind can fully comprehend Him. This absoluteness makes Kashmir Shaivism a valuable aspect.
Kashmir Shaivism's doctrine on the Absolute is nondual as it is theistic. It says that everything is real, but that it is also spiritual. Absolute reality refers to the state of pure Consciousness. The Absolute is divine and joyful. The Absolute has an awareness of all creatures and it is ever aware of them.
Theology of Saivite
The theology of Saivism is panentheistic, and it proclaims God Siva as the embodiment of love. This love can be both transcendent and immanent. God created the world. In this world, we can progress in our evolution towards moksha or salvation.
Panentheism is an intermediate ground between monotheism, theism, and traditional monotheism. Panentheism opposes the notion of God as immanent. Traditional monotheism does not accept the concept of God being immanent. This belief allows God to be both transcendental and immanent and fosters intimacy between God and the universe.
Vaishnavism
The Hindu pantheon has several sub-denominations and each one teaches a different view of God. For example, northern Vaishnavas think of Vishnu as Krishna; southern Vaishnavas see him as Rama. These differences aside, there are five main schools to Vaishnavism. These schools differ in the way they see God and how they view the human relation. Ramanuja founded Shrivaishnavism as one of the major schools.
Vaishnavism believes in a pantheistic God, but is not a monotheistic religion. The vedas are the basis of Vaishnavism's theology, which recognize a supreme being as a trinity in the three dimensions of the universe: the physical, spiritual, and personal. God is universally personal and transcends all dimensions of creation in this framework.
