So, the Force is influencing both good guys and bad guys, it is everywhere and it is accessible through special communication. We can see pantheism staring in our faces in this Force. Pantheism says everything is god. You are god, I am god, your water bottle is god, your pen is god, your computer is god, your smartphone is god.

Hinduism says that Brahman is the all-pervasive force in the universe. Everything I've n the universe is under the force of the Brahman. Bhagavad Gita says that this uForce is the source of all power in the universe. The Force is impersonal. It reminds us the Brahman, the ultimate reality. The Force has light side and dark side, just like the Brahman or the ultimate reality has light (prakash) and dark (andhakar) sides. This force manifested as several forces in the nature in the form of several gods. Dyaus Pitar, the sky god; Agni, the fire god; Yama, the death god; and Indra, the warrior god. Hinduism describes this force as ‘nirguna’, without attributes. This force takes on many forms in different gods of the pantheon.

With the aid of his humanoid assistants, he will fight with Darth Vader and rescues the Princess Leia. That is also Hinduism 101. It comes from Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic poem. The beautiful princess Sita is kidnapped by Ravana, an evil warlord. Rama receives the message. With the aid of his half-human, half-animal assistants, he fights with Ravana and rescues princess Sita.
