The only real reason why I can't take Hinduism seriously is the blue skin and shitty Indian aesthetics, like why are they all baby faced?
Nobody anywhere else describes the gods as blue.
>is this supposed to be a man?

so celestial abodes and fantastical stories were fine but the breaking point for you was artistic representation of what they look like?

same, Indian aesthetics are so gross it's like they directly mirror Indians themselves. And the names are fucking ridiculous too.

They are local gods assimilated into the "hindu" pantheon. They are supposed to be black, but aryans apparently got bootyblasted at the very thought. "Krishna" for example literally means black.

Is this bait? The art style of the pic you posted is clearly western. Here's an example of actual Indian art.

Yes.
We have this idea in the west that artists are divinely inspired, the proof being the beauty and sublimity and symbolic power of their work.
One can say something similar about Mahabarata or however it's spelled, it's extremely poorly written.
Then the philosophical exegeses of India, God damn it's long winded. Only Proclus is comparable.

Are you trying to imply these ape looking figures are an improvement?

>hindu gods being blue comes from some ancient poo in loo nobles drinking silver water/rubbing silver on their skin
Now it's even more ridiculous

They have blue skin, as they represent a dead man and eternity.

i actually 'met' a blue skinned hindu deity on an ayahuasca journey down in the peruvian jungle, which is weird because i had no interest or knowledge of hinduism. he just sat there all chill and barely acknowledged me, i've always wondered why he showed up in such a culturally out of context place?

At best drugs should be used as an assistance. But the dose should be so small that it's basically unnoticeable by the taker.
Just taking psychedelics and embracing just whatever as genuine is the least genuine.
Phanthasia can fabricate literally anything.

They have an elephant-headed deity with four arms and pink skin, riding on a mouse, and you're complaining about eternal beings looking young?
