Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Vanakkam Bro Vengadesan, You may be right in your earlier msg. Before i go further it's my humble request, be a sincere devotee not a staunch hindu. We are not hindu's or a religion. We are a soceity of wisdom and knowledge. We treat everyone equal. No one man is greater than the other. Treating all living being's equally is our way of life.(Sages from Vainavam have ate dried grass, to avoid killing a grass (From Ramayanam) Over the years things change due to our self greed. Saint Auvai have said: Ask questions and you will be answered. Meditate it helps. Believe that there is one God, who is the cause and foundation of all existence. Brahma, being the Absolute, is one, indivisible, unchangeable, beyond action and inaction, beyond good and evil. The Ultimate is referred to as Purushottoma (Highest Spirit), Parameshvara (Highest Lord), Bhagvan (God) and many other terms. But latent within Brahma is the power of life. When this power is manifested in the creation of a universe, it takes the form of maya, the material world. "Vedic Invocations, which are deemed animistic and crudely pegan by many scholars, merely invoke God through his attributes and functions. He is the Force behind all of nature's mighty forces, the Light behind the light; the Terror behind the terror; the Delight behind delights; the Ultimate Activity behind all activities. Similarly, God's various names in the Vedas are the one God viewed in terms of his attributes, functions, and nature. There is no real suggestion of anything besides the One." Hardly polytheism. Long before the burgeoning Hindu pantheon; long before Siva, Vishnu, Rama, Ganesh, Parvati, Saraswati, Laxmi, and the 35,999,993 others, this is the God of the Vedas, and religion in its most pristine form." Excerpted from: "Empire of the Soul: Some journeys in India" by Paul William Roberts. He is without any form, yet dwells inside and outside all thingsWith form and shape,Yet He is entirely free of error, faultless and pure.He is far beyond anything a human body can comprehend.And being the Divine Poet. He is inspiration itself.He maintains peace and harmony because He is both peace andHarmony made manifest. -- Yajur Veda He is the never-created creator of all: He knows all. He is pure consciousness, the creator of time, all-powerful, all knowing. He is the Lord of the soul and of nature and of the three conditions of nature. From Him comes the transmigration of life and liberation, bondage in time and freedom in eternity. -- Yajur Veda Fire is His head, the sun and moon His eyes, space His ears, the Vedas His speech, the wind His breath, the universe His heart. From His feet the earth has originated. Verily, He is the inner Self of all beings. ---Yajur Veda The Supreme Lord is not two. To me belongs the glory of meditating that I, His devoted servant, am He. As one imagines, so one becomes. Therefore, practice the meditation of "I am He." Then all your actions will become His action. Yours George Pillai Meet your soulmate!
