Buddhist understanding transcends words.
If you are not enlightened, you cannot properly explain buddhist understanding, because you do not posses it.
It is not that it is bad to try to do so, but it is important to always remember that is what we do: try.

If god is equal to brahman for you, than yes brahman is goal for you, because.. God can be called by any name that one like, But.. according to holy scriptures Brahman is not the end goal.
Why brahman is not the end goal ?
Parvati is said to be the wife of lord Shiva,
Laxhmi is said to be the wife of lord Vishnu,
Similarly.. Savitri is said to be the wife of lord brahman,
But.. God is alone, without wife.
The supreme God is genderless, But Brahman is male god, Brahman is the second last God.

Brahman is male god :biglaugh:
Brahman is neither male nor female. It is away from all such aspects.

I am follower of Vedas and not puranas, so I don't consider Krishna as God. I follow Vedas. Do you need vedic verse??Can you provide me any Gita verse where it is written that there's difference between Brahma and Brahman ?
Which holy scripture? Cite please.
Chinu, IMO, you have started showing your ignorance now. God has no meaning, as far as I know. Brahman has a specific meaning. And you are saying God can be given any name including a name called 'Brahman'?
brahmA (male) and brahman (neuter) are different concepts. Brahman is the goal and the Param, of all Vedanta and Veda schools.
brahmA is known as Prajapati and various other names in Veda.

I would assume most pople who did a mild google search on hinduism or either brahma or brahaman?
And I wouldnt say brahman is genderless, I would say s/he is genderfull

The Vaishnava schools of opinion. Indirectly the entire population and religous culture of India just as it is obviously the case in the Mahabharata. Afterall the Mahabharata is considered the pre-history of India. In India the actual name for the country of India is BHARATA. It saya Bharata on all government doctuments including Indian postage Stamps. IMO Even more indirectly the entire world of agnostics.
