alright
lemme clear this up.
vishnu is a symbolic god as shiva and paru and brahma is. these are symbols and attributes as Brahman, the one, the only.
mohini is vishnu in one of his female forms. mohini is the male visnu in female flesh. this site should help: http://members.aol.com/sabrin1315/mohini.htm
what does this have to do with homosexuality? because mohini is the male visnu on the inside, he joins with siva to bring ayyapan. the genitals are used to bring about the child. but mentally visnu is male.
but as the article stated and as hinduism believes, divinity is above the flesh.
as i said before, these stories reprisent attributes of One God.
ta da!
well anyways, it still brings the issue about transgender, transvestite, and transsexual. some eunuchs do the transvestite thing in india. but thats off on a randome tangent.
hope this clears up confusion.
oo look, time to pray.
