  4. Lord Vishnu is the Ultimate God. He has no birth or death. He takes avatar to protect His devotees. Every time He takes avatar the evil doers also get punished. All other gods have end where as Vishnu has no end. He is eternal. By performing yagjas we can attain other gods' position. Also the Nirguna of lord Vishnu shows He is the ultimate God. Shiva has Anger; that is why He is called Rudra. Brahma has pride. only Vishnu is beyond all the gunas. He gives time for people who do bad to others to get changed.That is why in this age of Kali yuga we see people who flourish inspite of their sins. All the sinners will be surely punished at the end if not in this janma in other janmas , as this is not the last janma for them. What Krishna said in Gita are practiced by Vishnu as Rama and Krishna. He never said anything which He did not do. Till today He is protecting those who surrender to Him with full faith. He wants our pure devotion and nothing else. There is no God equal to lord Vishnu.
  5. RAAMACHARITMAANAS contains seven contos. These seven contos are considered as seven steps to reach GOD.The highest goal of human life is to reach God.This can be easily attained by either reciting or listening to Raamacharitmaanas(Tulsidas's Ramayana). BALAKAND is considered as GOD'S FEET.AYODYAKAND is GOD'S THIGH..ARANYAKAND is HIS STOMACH.KISHKIDAKAND is GOD'S HEART.Sundarkand is His throat.LANKAKAND is HIS FACE and MOUTH.UTTARKAND is HIS HEAD.RAAMAYANA as a whole is God's BODY. Therefore these seven contos are seven steps to go forward in religious path to reach GOD realization and then to liberation. Each conto has inner meaning.From Balakand we can learn that , if the people are innocent,good,polite and simple ( inspite of their position,richness ) like children ,they can easily attain GOD. Ayodyakand teaches us ,how people should love others.Raama set a typical example of good son,husband,brother,friend,guide and philosopher.Raama leaves Ayodya only when jelous enters KAIKEYi'S mind.Bharata's example shows how a person should love his brothers.Though he gets the kingdom he sacrifices it and lives like a tapasvi similar to RAAMA. Here we learn that a true wife should love her step children.(like KOUSALYA) ARANYAKAND tells us without Aranyavasam (living with detachment)there is no meaning in life.Without it we wont get satva guna(good character).Here only you get the feeling that we have only god to help us. To kill lust vanavasam is a must.Only when we fully eradicate lust we will be able to attain GOD. KISHKINDAKAND says, once you killed the lust(kaama);the union of jeevatma and Paramatma takes place.For this union we need the help of Brahmacharyam.That is shown by the role of Hanumaan. Sundarkand teaches us , people who can cross the ocean of birth and death alone can meet the Mother of universe.Here Hanumaan meets SITA the Mother of universe.The place where Sita lived was called Ashokvanam ;because,there can be no sorrow where Mother of universe lives. LANKAKAND means,Once the lust is overcome,we can kill Raavana(personification of kaama).That is what shown in here.All demons were killed and Sita was restored. UTTARKAND:RAAMA's coronation takes place.This kand also explains ,who is real devotee and who can easily attain GOD.To make our life beautiful through out ,control lust from the earlier part of life. Thus ,all the 7 kandas,like seven steps lead one to GOD.RAAMAYANA is like ocean.Like shiva,let us also keep RAAMA Naama in our hearts.Always think about RAAMA..Remember ,there can be no happiness,nor peace even in dream if we forget RAAMA's name. We are fortunate to get this human body.It is a gate way for spiritual endeavours and liberation.People who devote their minds to the pleasures of sense even after attaining human birth take poison in exchange for nectar.Out of love God has given us this human form and only by HIS grace we can cross the ocean of birth and death. THIS glorious,holy,purifying,blessed RAAMAYANA brings happiness;IT bestows both wisdom and devotion;wipes out lust,infatuation,and impurity.Men who with deep devotion recite or listen to It are never touched by the worldly illusions.
  6. Hi Shivu Love towardas a girl& Bhakthi towards Krishna are not the same. When there is love towards a girl there is lust in it. Where is in Bhakthi there is no lust. Even if you have desires in the beinning they will go away from your mind after you take religious path and progress in it. Taking religious path does not mean you have to renounce everything, go to a jungle and do tapa. Cultivate reciting God's name daily for few minutes in the beginning and slowly increase the time. In the age of Kaliyuga you can repeat the name of Hari where ever you are.When you think how beautiful nature is Or a girl is; think one moment how beautiful should be the creator; that will develope bhakthi in you. Thank God for all good things in your life; that will also develope bhakthi. Remember nobody gives you dhuk or suk ;it is your karma which is responsible for the life. In order to avoid mundane exisrence repeat the name of Hari. To repeat the name of Hari also you must have His grace. May God bless you!
  7. Self realisation is the goal of human life. We are fortunate enough to get human body. Only human beings are able to think & discriminate good and bsd. Even after attaining human body if you do not try to attain your goal you are exchanching diamond for glass. Self realisation is to under stand that God is present in our heart which is the shrine. Our lips are the entrance. Soul is eternal. Realise that the presence of god has to be felt. We can know the taste of sugar only after we taste it not by reading that sugar is sweet. Like that presence of God should be felt. The presence of God can be realised when you recite Ramayana or Gita with sincere devotion. Especially in satsung. Try to do that.
  8. Hi Melvin, I also agree that Bhakthi is superior to mukthi. God will give mukthi easily than bhakthi because He has to bind for Bhakthi. Yasodha & Sahadeva could bind Lord Krishna because of their Bakthi. In Gita also Lord says Bhakthi yoga is superior to Jnana yoga & karma Yoga. In 18th chapter Krishna asks Arjuna to sacrifice even the desire of attaining Mukthi.( Moksha sanyasa yoga:). We have to take religious path with out any desires. May God help everybody to follow Him!
  9. All the names of the lord Achuta, Padmanaba etc represent the same Supreme lord Vishnu, who is eternal. There is no god equal to lord Vishnu who is omnipotent and omnipresent & all pervading. He is the Supreme reality, friend, refuge & shelter. He is pleased to take any form for the sake of His devotee. God takes avatars to protect His devotee and while protecting His devotees it so happened to punish the evildoers. Vishnu likes Narasimha avatar because He wanted to prove His devotee Prahlad's words that He is all pervading. He is the great god who can give Motcha(salvation). He tells Arjuna in gita Sarva dharman parithyagja mamekam charanam vraja aham dhwam sarvapapepyo motchasyami ma sucha: meaning to what ever religion you belong come and surrender unto me I will give you salvation.
