Godhead
Godhead refers to the view of the abstract and essential divine nature of God.
Binitarianism - the belief that the Godhead is composed of two separate beings,
Father and the Son, while the Holy Spirit is the power of God and not a separate
being.
Godhead (Christianity) - In Christianity, the divinity of Trinity is sometimes
referred to as the "Godhead". In some nontrinitarian sects, several divine
beings are referred to collectively as "the Godhead."
Godhead (Hinduism) - Brahman.
Godhead (Vaishnavism) - The conception of Godhead according to the Gaudiya
Vaishnava school of Hinduism refers to the original spiritual abode or home of
Krishna or Vishnu. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada often referred to Krishna
as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and of returning back home, back to
Godhead, to live eternally with Krishna. In the initial stages of Gaudiya
Vaishnavism a practitioner desires to perfect himself in order to attain the
qualification to enter into Krishna’s abode. However, a higher and more esoteric
concept is to realize ones position as an eternal servitor of Godhead and to
serve wherever one may be, without consideration of returning to Godhead. In
other words, to surrender fully to the will and whim of God.”
Godhead (Judaism) – In Judaism, the term "Godhead" is sometimes used to refer to
the unknowable aspect of God which lies beyond His actions or emanations (as it
were).
Godhead (Latter Day Saints) - The Godhead is composed of Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, a divine council of three distinct beings, according to the beliefs of
various branches of the Latter Day Saint movement.
