Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hello there First of all please accept my apologies for writing this. I am not qualified in giving advice of religious matters. Therefore please read by all means but act upon it only if your heart agrees to it. God is equally kind in all of His manifestations. However being the multi-coloured/multi-faith human beings we are, we see Him in many different forms. It does not matter to Him what form of Him we worship or if we outwardly worship Him at all. Our connection to the divine is from within. What matters in the end is what is in the deepest portions of your consciousness. Sometimes the self within causes us to view incidents in a particular light. Maybe the Kind divine is trying to hint you that you do not need to make the pilgrimage all of the time but ease off a bit and try and let Him guide you rather than you pushing for results in the way that you see right. Maybe your good deeds have blessed you and your family in such a way that you do not need to go to a particular place to connect to the divine but rather you can connect to Him wherever you happen to be. Having objects connecting the conscious mind to the divine are only the first step towards realization of the divine. However these objects and their worship in it's own is not sufficient to realize the Creator. We need to shed all (bad, indifferent and good) within before we can even glimpse the divine nature of Siva. Therefore my advice to you coming from a brother to brother would be just to ease off from zealously pursuing a single path. Sometimes all we have to do is to take a step back and suddenly we can see the door through which we can easily walk rather than trying to push our way through the brick wall. May god help you in your pursuit................

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 You are very correct, Lord Shiva or the creator above is very kind and loving, he will not count howmay times we chant his mantra or how many times we visited his temple, he will see how good we are, how kind we are and how compassionate we are, because he is like that. It is very simple, we expect our children to be like us, and same with lord, he expects us to be like him.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Sh. Ramachandra, With all due respect to the versions given by honourable members of the group, It is felt that the following matter may be of some value. The Almighty, Lord Shiva is "Nirgun, Niraakaar, and Sarvaataryaami". God can only know to bless and protect people who believe him and pray him. There is no reason to get a bad or unwanted experience when one is praying with all dedication. It does not matter whether you are chanting a mantra or just taking his name or repeating a mere numerical in his name. In our life when one starts a new routine there would be expectation, this expectation makes one to look at the happennings with great care and in a magnifying manner. If a desirerable effects results, one attributes it to the efforts put farward till then. If an unwanted thing happens it is attributed to the efforts made. It is the state of mind but not the result of the prayers. Please drive away such feelings The Almighty is a positive energy and Positiveforce having nil percentgae of any negativity. Regarding worship, there are in numerable "mantras" available from Vedas, Puranaas. One should select the mantra appealing and comfort giving while chanting. It shall give a pleasant feeling. Some likes single word mantras, the other an eloborated procedure with Mantra. Both are right in their place as the one selected is giving a satisfactory feeling after chanting it.
