BHAGWAN

The God Supreme of the Bhils

There are lots of falls claim made the social or cultural anthropologists that the Bhils and other tribes in India have either no religion or if at all they have it is not their own. Both the claims are falls. One can see the Bhils and other tribes have a very complex collections of rites and rituals of their own, myths, etc performed all through the year unnoticed a times. Even though bhils are being systematically being converted, largely to Hinduism and then to Christianity and other religions in a very modest number.

The God supreme of the Bhils is BHAGWAN. The characteristic features of Bhagwan are well researched by Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Koppers SVD of Vienna University, Austria and His attributes are published in monographs and books. There is no better research on Bhagwan of the Bhils than Prof. W. Koppers.
Bhagwan of the Bhils is the creator of the universe. He creates and leaves the world in the hands of minor gods and goddesses for taking care of it. Bhagwan is not interested in sacrifices (bhogs), rites and rituals. It is the relm of Minor or lower gods and goddesses require bhogs (sacrifices), rites and rituals to appease or placate them. Among the male and female deities there are over a hundred of them who need to be studies systematically to preserve and promote and protect cultural rights of the Bhils. Now a day’s lots of damages to the religious rites of the Bhils are being done.
