Why are Hindu Gods so Human??? (Hinduism Vs Christianity & Islam)

When we look through the scriptures of Hinduism, the various deities appear to display extraordinarily human qualities. God is supposed to be all powerful, but Gods such as Krishna and Rama show emotions such as fear, grief and anger. Hindus are generally comfortable with this idea, but can find it difficult to justify this to Christians and Muslims.
This is because Abrahamic traditions by in large do not have the concept of 'Leela' or Divine play. This is where God takes on limitation for the endearment of His devotees. By appearing human and even fallible, the Lord draws us into a relationship with Him. Through that relationship we are taken to a deeper understanding of His glory.
Hindus are looking to experience God, whereas Abrahamic religions are looking to survive God and the coming apocalyptic day of judgement.
This root difference accounts for why Hindus feel free to enjoy and devote themselves to the Leelas of God. For the devotee, the highest state is to realise their unconditional love for the Divine.

I'm a Hindu convert from Lombardy. I am "officially" a hindu since 2 months, but actually the hindu thought has always been in my mind. I just want to thank you as you are a great gateway to start knowing Hinduism. I just wanted to share how joyful for me is to be a sanatani, I found a love that once I couldn't imagine. May the gods bless you all who reads❤🙏Har Har mahadev, Hare Krishna

Great video, mate and I think one of the core concepts of Hindu thought is self-discovery. Vivekananda said that "If someone tells you they have all the answers, run from them". Our gods are human because we are them. The consciousness that is "God" resides in us. Thus, we have power in ourselves that we don't even realize. Thus, Hinduism teaches us that we are strong and that we CAN discover our answers rather than believe ourselves to be helpless and rely on some "powerful being" for mercy and motivation.

In Hinduism god doesn't want to fear us by showing his true form rather he teaches us the way of living the ultimate dharma by performing leelas in which he acts like humans. As William Shakespeare once said life is a play and we all are its performers similarly in Hinduism life is a play or leela directed by the divine god in which every living organism plays a role for achieving the ultimate truth. I am a proud hindu
