Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Dear Arjun Ji, it is a paradoxical that the wealthiest, most currupt, criminal get the best of almighty. so godmen can also be part of such elite club. if we come to recent saints like Tyagaraja saying Nidhi chaala sukham raamunisaNIDHI chala sukhama then and now all who sing these songs are rolling in money, well for a few years more till classical music is alive. but of the puranas if we look all the rakshasa got the full grace, boons of the devathas and one of the trinites gave the boons and another had to nuteralise it when it went out of control. IT IS THEY WHO NEED GOD, the normal person is realised enough to see god within himself and around all living forms. the currupt, cruel ones, god has to go to them and bring them back to normal path cleanse their sins too else how can we explain the misery Swami Jayanedra saraswathi is undergoing? he wasa social reformer went out of the way to slums took part in many hygene, health programs in slums took religion to the poor masses, built hospitals for th epoor like his predecessors and also bough sick hospitals for the poor to ad more beds but as the politician salsow wanted to buy it and make money found someway of harassing him and the ashram REASON IS THEY HAVE TAKEN TAINTED MONEY ALL THESE YEARS FROM SICK CURRUPT, CRIMINAL LOT so the karma sticks onthem too. probably if they did not lend their pictures on the pamplets the CONMEN used IN their business and instead asking them to undertake projects with the money than take it from then and then used it was a sin they too shared. why the currupt, sinful need god simple! it is like a sick person getting treated the healthier ones need no doctor, surgery isn't it. BUT THIS GOD MEN EXPLOITING innocent belivers is an apparent thing not the real one they [victimes] might have swindled a lot of people in their past lives and this godman esp the fraudmen amoung them are just collection agents of it.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 The incarnation of GOD concentrates more on rich people, than the poor people. People are criticizing for this. But remember, that all the human beings are the children of God. Father concentrates on the child, who is suffering with cancer. Though cancer is incurable, still the father attempts to do something for the child. He is more concerned with that child and pays more attention. A rich man is a serious case and is very dangerous. He has all the powers, to do sins and disturb the peace of the world. To keep him in the right path or at least, to control him temporarily, is very important for the peace of the world. So the incarnation pays more attention to him, to save the world. A poor man cannot disturb the peace of the world, because he has no power of money, he is always involved in earning his livelihood. So he is not dangerous. Without knowing this, inner truth, people criticize God man. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org Prashant Kumar G B <gbp_kumar wrote: > Dear Arjun Ji > it is a paradoxical that the wealthiest, most currupt, criminal get the best of almighty. so godmen can also be part of such elite club. > panditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 wrote: dear sister nalini > as you rightly understood these days wealth is playing a major role for getting the blessings of godmen.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Dear Arjun ji and Nalini ji, God's incarnation is only to give signal and caution the human beings to assure He is around.Thogh we are amidst mandirs,Godmen and viewing Ramayana and mahabharata every day,ghar ghar ka kahani remained very sadly different we do not see eye to eye among our closest and nearest. The influence of tamsasic is becoming more and satwic elements is dear and rare.this also reflects on the ways of society.If in our jyotish system portrays all visionaries are satwic along with Guru we are influnced to lesser planets only to find way and means of God and Godmen Some how I feel we are veering around a matter relating to sacrifice to be simple honest .Honest so as to endorse our gratitude to the great Almighty who allows us to coexists with wealth as well as poor people.After all if all that richness is the brightness and the poor constitute the darkness as God and Godmen find their existence,service and kindness meant only for handful(media certainly glorified through DTH and cable) then our analysis is no where near to scriptures.Our classicals tried to teach orderliness and discipline in our thoughts and actions. we need to inclucate and adopt lives to find the reality and truth.if truth is "aham brahma"why not we accept?Instead why do we drift away and in the end converge to no point of return?is it possible that the thought of sacrifice non attachement can help us to become austentacious and pious minds Poor and wealthier status matter for awakening of God and God men.A poor invoved and concerned 24 hour with his pwn hand to mouth knows he is having God with in himself.he knows that if he does not work for that day he has to make other also to suffer be it wife or his children.To keep them happy he has to belabour.We also know when lord krishna desired to visit his friend Kuchela what he was offered by his poor but a man of precious nature.Handful of popcorn To be sublime and serving the cause of God is more desirable than to run to the God man and render services through them.Rich ofcourse have only concern of their wealth and their own concern.They know what kind of rightful earnings have been made by them.No wonder they need assistance and call of Godmen.Not a secret wealthy lot exploit what ever possible including those serving them.They have along with wealth insecurity of themselves and their possessions.They also are proud that their money can bring anything to them.So they do not mind to become hosts of the Godmen. For aperson for whom tomorrow is always a day worth living he has lot to worry about.If he is not to keep his belly empty he has to work.In what ever he finds,he definetly finds God.He always desires for grace of one and all.His concern for others and for himself always keeps him near to God.God has to care for those whose lives happen because of his kindness.He knows that in His creations that gradings and classes exist not because he desired.it is because the understanding of the people about God and His creation is ambiguous. God even might get jolted if he really tries to understand this universe.On one side lot of jagarans,chanting the name of Almighty with fan and fare,indulging in hatred and crime,becoming part of unlawful activity,fighting for injustice and save the criminal and rescuing the person who in no mean terms committed crimes.wealth exists where God hates to visit.wealth is there where crime is there.wealth is there to get recognition.wealth is there to find means for spending in the name of society.Finally wealth is there to insulate for all bad things. Linking God and God men with rich sans basic philosophy.it is okay if some body is able to call God men to his house and arrange for discourses.Such person needs to be recognised for his pious nature.God men are not interested to make the lot rich people better.Through them(as the occassion is there) they would like to communicate and serve for others.Their realisation of God and their endeavour to propogate for simple principles to realise god has made them near to people.it does not matter whether their followers are from the same country or else where.They have abilities to communicate in universal style.Any God man so far has only conveyed very very basic and simple things which for sure gets violated.After all this society if we look in closer is meant for exploitation.This exploitation some times also looks to be part of Dharma if we have to eulogise rich people and feel God man is also near to rich and in any cae God is meant is only for rich.All the activities we find around are finally meant for those 3-5 percent of the population than to rest of the 95-97 percent whose abilities including making a to and fro trip to moon on a holiday is fun.God and god man inculacate thoughts in us to lead a life where you always is God is there with you.In all your sayings and actions,let God be reflected.This kind of approach makes one and all away from greed and so less sin.If we are concerned about our thoughts and actions,where is the need for us to put effort and find the ways to God.Our existence owes to the supreme and our actions and feelings have to rflect him.If this is how a uniform thinking persists we are sure to be righteous dirction instead of indulging in exploitation and at one stage find searching for God? krishnan surya <dattapr2000 wrote: The incarnation of GOD concentrates more on rich people, than the poor people.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Dear Sir, Music is bhakti.Tyagraja kriti is to remind the simplicity of human beings.The one singing and the one listening are in different worlds.The meaning as well as the melody has a different significance. The same is the case with Bhakta puranadara das and Annamacharya.Sant Tukaram and Meera bai popularised our Itihasas and other classicals to become part of every day life.It is almost a different story what we witness to day even after rewinding Ramanand Sagars productions. After all God is so near yet dear.hands of rich spread every where.so we find no God in Brindavan,Benares and need to locate >God Is available in Birla Mandirs and in punya teerthas only pollution. yet the craze for God is there and god men is there.Name of God spins money.we need not search for opportunists as there are every where seva dals to guide according to our tastes and wishes. Swamy Jayendra Sarswati,the symbol of today's Hinduism in the steps of Periyar has landed into problem by becoming close to power and muscle men.We all feel proud to take the name of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham and listen to their preachings.Every time he visited Delhi amidst Ramajanma bhoomi smasya I used to wonder why this simple saint worry about mandir-masjid issue.I could not also resist without getting Swamy jee's darshan.Infact in Delhi we are initiated to Jyotish with His holiness blessing while at the time of beginning and on completion of course.Swamy ji stays in Delhi in his ahram to which we are very close. swamy ji has been worshipped and his pravachan has always been inspiring to adopt and seek his blessings as many times as possible.But then Destiny has it's own way.As one of our reverred member mentioned transits and gocharas have lot to say.if the same planets can make a saint and symbolise for sacrifice,times too will be there to land any one into shadows.This is what has to worry about. After all Success of any thing has to make more ardent and sublime.Instead if mislead and purpose is lost all our labour becomes futile.I mean success of Dhrama as well as Adharma.if Dharama is meant for angels and Adharma is wickedness and Rakshas every one can be mislead.May be God has found it is easy to attract people of Adhrma with his chatura and always won over them in the end by protecting Dharma.God has always done his duty how ever belated it might be.Always there are balancing forces irrespective of Yugas It appears that today the world belongs to rich and so no wonder every thing is influenced through money krishnan Prashant Kumar G B <gbp_kumar wrote: Dear Arjun Ji, it is a paradoxical that the wealthiest, most currupt, criminal get the best of almighty. so godmen can also be part of such elite club. if we come to recent saints like Tyagaraja saying Nidhi chaala sukham raamunisaNIDHI chala sukhama then and now all who sing these songs are rolling in money, well for a few years more till classical music is alive. but of the puranas if we look all the rakshasa got the full grace, boons of the devathas and one of the trinites gave the boons and another had to nuteralise it when it went out of control.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 {Om Namo Narayanaya} Dear Sri krishnan Ji, Arjunji and all, It is not to deride all Godmen but only those who have taken the gullible for a royal ride.And it is not right to speak of all the Godmen in the same breath, because there are Godmen and there are Godmen. Sri Puttaparthi Sai baba, sri sri Ravishankar, Mata Amritanandmayi are all of a different order. Ananatpur, was an arid , drought affected place and look how it is now. All those speaking ill of Baba can well remember the social service rendered. Should he not be considered above humanbeings for those alone. To have made a difference in the lives of the helpless, that is Godhead. As opined by krishnanji, true Godman is one who inculcates the thoughts of true spiritualism, to identify spiritualism from among the various forms in vogue. That which brings us closer to God is the true one.And if one is conscious of the God within he can never swerve from the path of Dharma. That conciousness alone will help him along the path of Dharma, where he can look himself in the eye in the mirror in the morning. Mother said, Widen your consciousness to the dimension of the Earth, then there will be place for everything. Regards nalini {Om Namah Shivay Namah Mallikarjunaya} , vattem krishnan <bursar_99 wrote: > > Dear Arjun ji and Nalini ji, > God's incarnation is only to give signal and caution the human beings to

nearest. > The influence of tamsasic is becoming more and satwic elements is dear and rare.this also reflects on the ways of society.If in our jyotish system portrays all visionaries are satwic along with Guru we are influnced to lesser planets only to find way and means of God and Godmen > Some how I feel we are veering around a matter relating to sacrifice to be simple honest .Honest so as to endorse our gratitude to the great Almighty who allows us to coexists with wealth as well as poor people.After all if all that richness is the brightness and the poor constitute the darkness as God and Godmen find their existence,service and kindness meant only for handful(media certainly glorified through DTH and cable) then our analysis is no where near to scriptures.Our classicals tried to teach orderliness and discipline in our thoughts and actions. > we need to inclucate and adopt lives to find the reality and truth.if truth is "aham brahma"why not we accept?Instead why do we drift away and in the end converge to no point of return?is it possible that the thought of sacrifice non attachement can help us to become austentacious and pious minds > Poor and wealthier status matter for awakening of God and God men.A poor invoved and concerned 24 hour with his pwn hand to mouth knows he is having God with in himself.he knows that if he does not work for that day he has to make other also to suffer be it wife or his children.To keep them happy he has to belabour.We also know when lord krishna desired to visit his friend Kuchela what he was offered by his poor but a man of precious nature.Handful of popcorn > To be sublime and serving the cause of God is more desirable than to run to the God man and render services through them.Rich ofcourse have only concern of their wealth and their own concern.They know what kind of rightful earnings have been made by them.No wonder they need assistance and call of Godmen.Not a secret wealthy lot exploit what ever possible including those serving them.They have along with wealth insecurity of themselves and their possessions.They also are proud that their money can bring anything to them.So they do not mind to become hosts of the Godmen. > For aperson for whom tomorrow is always a day worth living he has lot to worry about.If he is not to keep his belly empty he has to work.In what ever he finds,he definetly finds God.He always desires for grace of one and all.His concern for others and for himself always keeps him near to God.God has to care for those whose lives happen because of his kindness.He knows that in His creations that gradings and classes exist not because he desired.it is because the understanding of the people about God and His creation is ambiguous. > God even might get jolted if he really tries to understand this universe.On one side lot of jagarans,chanting the name of Almighty with fan and fare,indulging in hatred and crime,becoming part of unlawful activity,fighting for injustice and save the criminal and rescuing the person who in no mean terms committed crimes.wealth exists where God hates to visit.wealth is there where crime is there.wealth is there to get recognition.wealth is there to find means for spending in the name of society.Finally wealth is there to insulate for all bad things. > Linking God and God men with rich sans basic philosophy.it is okay if some body is able to call God men to his house and arrange for discourses.Such person needs to be recognised for his pious nature.God men are not interested to make the lot rich people better.Through them(as the occassion is there) they would like to communicate and serve for others.Their realisation of God and their endeavour to propogate for simple principles to realise god has made them near to people.it does not matter whether their followers are from the same country or else where.They have abilities to communicate in universal style.Any God man so far has only conveyed very very basic and simple things which for sure gets violated.After all this society if we look in closer is meant for exploitation.This exploitation some times also looks to be part of Dharma if we have to eulogise rich people and feel God man is also near to rich and in any cae God is meant is only for rich.All the activities we > find around are finally meant for those 3-5 percent of the population than to rest of the 95-97 percent whose abilities including making a to and fro trip to moon on a holiday is fun.God and god man inculacate thoughts in us to lead a life where you always is God is there with you.In all your sayings and actions,let God be reflected.This kind of approach makes one and all away from greed and so less sin.If we are concerned about our thoughts and actions,where is the need for us to put effort and find the ways to God.Our existence owes to the supreme and our actions and feelings have to rflect him.If this is how a uniform thinking persists we are sure to be righteous dirction instead of indulging in exploitation and at one stage find searching for God? > krishnan > > surya <dattapr2000 wrote: > The incarnation of GOD concentrates more on

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 dear krishnan ji when you said you wonder why a saint worries for mandir-masjid, let me tell you the facts: 1. dharmo rakshati rakshita is the adage to be followed by the king. we are living in a secular democratic country with the president a muslim, the prime minister a sikh, the ruling party president a christian and the opposition party president a hindu. there is no one common law for all countrymen alike. this is where some noble selfless service organisations like VHP and Shivsena were born to protect the sanatan dharma. like patel ji liberated somnath, advani ji or the BJP liberated the ram mandir. earlier rajiv gandhi laid the foundation stone for the ram mandir but left fearing loss of muslim votes. as you are aware in any country, the wish of the majority gets fulfilled. AS ON DATE, THE RAM MANDIR EXISTS AT ITS ORIGINAL PLACE WITH ALL HINDUS HAVING DARSHAN AND IS PROTECTED OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE APEX COURT OF THE LAND. what all sankaracharyas or other leaders are trying is only to make it a big temple like the Akshardham temple, thats it. 2. Islam was spread at sword's edge and they just butchered innocent saatvik countries in their greed to expand their wealth. lo, the result is these muslim countries are under annihilation getting carpet bombings and are at the receiving end of the force. all countries in the world have formed an united strong force in attacking Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran and in future who knows it could be Pakistan. THE LESSON IS SIMPLE. HISTORY REPEATS, YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW. 3. Christianity was spread across the globe with a human touch and by liberal doling of money, education, clothing and shelter for the poorest and neglected people in the remotest corners. so christian missionaries and their service organisations are thriving even in India, for their following the "karma marga" to serve the humans the way jesus christ did. THE LESSON IS IF YOU DO SERVICE TO THE HUMANITY, RELIGION DOES NOT MATTER AND PEOPLE WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS. According to muslims, god is formless (nirakaar). According to christians also god is formless (nirakaar)and jesus is seen by many as a messenger of god while few view them as son of god or god's incarnation. According to Hindu scriptures, even while emphasising that god is "nirakaar" they say that god is all pervading and all permeating and takes any form or any shape and that god is there in every form and every shape. some unrealised people believe that god is only in this or that shape, whereas in reality he is formless and can be found any and every where. the other day a scientist customer came to me to know his chart but asked me a question: "Sir, if several people have gone to Moon, put their foot on the Moon, dug the moon and brought parts of Moon to earth for testing and are constructing houses on moon and plans afoot to make it a tourist spot, how do you believe the mythology that moon was a god. if so, would he allow people to stand on him". then i replied that the same way billions of humans are living on planet earth and diggig and spoiling the earth whom we rever as "Bhoodevi" according to hindu mythology, moon is also like Bhoodevi and we treat all of them as gods". then he quipped saying that if that is the case both moon and earth are just planets and science never accept them as gods and if the entire mythology is based on such gods, the entire mythology itself is a trash. these are the thoughts coming to the minds of the learnt people according to their own understandings.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Aham Brahmasmi & Sivoham When the students of Adi Sankara uttered Aham Brahma Asmi (I am Brahman), Sankara tolerated but when Sankara told Sivoham (I am Eswara), the disciples also told Sivoham. Then Sankara swallowed the molten lead and showed his controlling power. The disciples could not do so. Then Sankara told Sivah Kevaloham (Only I am the Siva). The simple argument of Advaitha scholars is that the Lord wished to create this world. The life or simple awareness is essential to have a wish. Therefore, the Lord is awareness. The same awareness is in every human being. Every human being is also wishing just like the Lord created this world by His Wish, which is His imagination only. Similarly the human being is also creating its own imaginary world. But there is lot of difference between a hill present in this real world, which is the imagination of the Lord and the hill present in the imaginary world of the human being. If the same awareness is present in the Lord and the human being, both the hills should not have any difference. Since the hills are totally different, there is total difference between the awareness of the Lord and the awareness in the human being. Infact the Lord gave the faculty of imagination to the human being so that he will understand the process of imagination of the Lord in creating the world. But this foolish human being extends the concept into the model and thinks that the model itself is the concept. A model or example cannot be the original concept. Therefore you have to withdraw the attraction or the bond not only from the seven external circles, but also from yourself because you are thinking that you are the Lord and you are attracted towards yourself. Thus finally this self-bond which is also an illusion should be broken and the total attraction should be shifted towards the external super soul or the Lord. Are you greater than Hanuman in any angle? Did He not know Aham Brahmasmi? Are you greater scholar than Hanuman, who always told Daasoham, which means that He is the servant of Rama, who is the then Human Incarnation? If you put these questions to yourself, your illusion of self-bond also disappears. -------- Theists are ready to love anybody or anything (living & non living beings) on the earth except Lord. But when trouble comes, they approach the Lord for solution. Even if entire creation is loved, that is not devotion. Devotion means love on Lord. Only devotion can save you but not the love on the entire creation. Sometimes they interpret by loving everybody, they are loving lord. But, everybody is not Lord. Infact, if your logic is true, why so many people are worshipping Jesus, Krishna as Lord? Are they fools? I am not saying anything against your love on creation. Let it be there. But i suggest you to show simultaneously a little bit of real love on Lord also. Actually Lord is not bothered of our love to Him. But it becomes the responsibility of our's to be faithful to Him. Atheists are denying the Lord and theists are forgetting the Lord. It is same in essence. Hence both are not eligible for any grace of Lord. This is the topmost problem present as of now in the world. ------------ Generally theists believe in the past messengers. They accept only the past incarnations. Both Jesus and Krishna told that they come again. But, no weightage is given to these words in their eyes. Infact Lord comes in every generation otherwise He becomes partial by giving His divine experience to only some people. Ofcourse even the past messengers were also not identified by the people present during that time. This is mainly because of jealousy and egoism. This is a continuous process going on and on. Thiests do not believe that Lord comes in human form and so their discussions will always be in the imagination which atheists cannot believe. If He comes in human form, it will be convincing for atheists also. As of now theists say Lord is there but they cannot show. Then how atheists believe? Both Bible and Gita mention about this Lord in human form concept (God in Flesh & Manusheem Tanu masritaam). The fundamental problem lies in accepting the present messenger in front of our eyes. Like in the past, messengers keep coming in the present and future also, but always a handful of people only accept at the most. The knowledge required to identify Him is the divine knowledge which is to be learnt. Otherwise the same stalemate continues. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org vattem krishnan <bursar_99 wrote: > Dear Arjun ji and Nalini ji, > Some how I feel we are veering around a matter relating to sacrifice to be simple honest .Honest so as to endorse our gratitude to the great Almighty who allows us to coexists with wealth as well as poor people.After all if all that richness is the brightness and the poor constitute the darkness as God and Godmen find their existence,service and kindness meant only for handful(media certainly glorified through DTH and cable) then our analysis is no where near to scriptures.Our classicals tried to teach orderliness and discipline in our thoughts and actions. > we need to inclucate and adopt lives to find the reality and truth.if truth is "aham brahma"why not we accept?Instead why do we drift away and in the end converge to no point of return?is it possible that the thought of sacrifice non attachement can help us to become austentacious and pious minds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Dear Sri Arjun ji, I am really convinced of how various religions try to operate and work for the same goal. I do not know whether it is right to call some as minority or requiring forbearence,sympathy etc.Few people have succeeded to focus attention between two ideologies concerning the place of worship.mandir for Hindu is meant for pooja and masjid for namaaz and both are meaning the same. No doubt vote catchers need mechanisms to trap in the name of religion and to widen the proximity otherwise humanbeings are blessed.knowingly we get exploited only to misutilise our fundamental right and the element of service gets negated.votes need money and money needs votes .In the process ram ka naam badnaam(na) karo.make our own fellow human being who ultimately lives for "do roti" is exploited and become an enemy for one another.Probably human sentiments find no regard and respect.I can understand if science or scientists works against these sentiments and comes out with discoveries and inventions which may indirectly help human being.In the process the science and it's dogmatic scientist too are only adding pradooshan only to distrub nature. Have we no means to protect our Nature and preserve our values.can we do really a great sacrifice and able to retain the identity of Nature.I know that we all go through the stages of schooling and become ultimately Masters of Our Destiny.In the end if we really look back and question back have really learnt what is required to be learnt.Instead we have learnt only to hate the fellow human being and make a devide of rich and poor.what is it we can sacrifice finally.Kindness and love......... krishnan panditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 wrote: dear krishnan ji when you said you wonder why a saint worries for mandir-masjid, let me tell you the facts: 1. dharmo rakshati rakshita is the adage to be followed by the king. we are living in a secular democratic country with the president a muslim, the prime minister a sikh, the ruling party president a christian and the opposition party president a hindu. there is no one common law for all countrymen alike. this is where some noble selfless service organisations like VHP and Shivsena were born to protect the sanatan dharma. like patel ji liberated somnath, advani ji or the BJP liberated the ram mandir. earlier rajiv gandhi laid the foundation stone for the ram mandir but left fearing loss of muslim votes. as you are aware in any country, the wish of the majority gets fulfilled. AS ON DATE, THE RAM MANDIR EXISTS AT ITS ORIGINAL PLACE WITH ALL HINDUS HAVING DARSHAN AND IS PROTECTED OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE APEX COURT OF THE LAND. what all sankaracharyas or other leaders are trying is only to make it a big temple like the Akshardham temple, thats it. 2. Islam was spread at sword's edge and they just butchered innocent saatvik countries in their greed to expand their wealth. lo, the result is these muslim countries are under annihilation getting carpet bombings and are at the receiving end of the force. all countries in the world have formed an united strong force in attacking Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran and in future who knows it could be Pakistan. THE LESSON IS SIMPLE. HISTORY REPEATS, YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW. 3. Christianity was spread across the globe with a human touch and by liberal doling of money, education, clothing and shelter for the poorest and neglected people in the remotest corners. so christian missionaries and their service organisations are thriving even in India, for their following the "karma marga" to serve the humans the way jesus christ did. THE LESSON IS IF YOU DO SERVICE TO THE HUMANITY, RELIGION DOES NOT MATTER AND PEOPLE WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS. According to muslims, god is formless (nirakaar). According to christians also god is formless (nirakaar)and jesus is seen by many as a messenger of god while few view them as son of god or god's incarnation. According to Hindu scriptures, even while emphasising that god is "nirakaar" they say that god is all pervading and all permeating and takes any form or any shape and that god is there in every form and every shape. some unrealised people believe that god is only in this or that shape, whereas in reality he is formless and can be found any and every where. the other day a scientist customer came to me to know his chart but asked me a question: "Sir, if several people have gone to Moon, put their foot on the Moon, dug the moon and brought parts of Moon to earth for testing and are constructing houses on moon and plans afoot to make it a tourist spot, how do you believe the mythology that moon was a god. if so, would he allow people to stand on him". then i replied that the same way billions of humans are living on planet earth and diggig and spoiling the earth whom we rever as "Bhoodevi" according to hindu mythology, moon is also like Bhoodevi and we treat all of them as gods". then he quipped saying that if that is the case both moon and earth are just planets and science never accept them as gods and if the entire mythology is based on such gods, the entire mythology itself is a trash. these are the thoughts coming to the minds of the learnt people according to their own understandings. THE TRUTH OR REALITY IS THAT THE REALITY IS ONLY ONE AND ITS UNDERSTANDINGS ARE MANY. with best wishes arjun , vattem krishnan <bursar_99 wrote: > > Dear Sir, > Music is bhakti.Tyagraja kriti is to remind the simplicity of human beings.The one singing and the one listening are in different worlds.The meaning as well as the melody has a different significance. > The same is the case with Bhakta puranadara das and Annamacharya.Sant Tukaram and Meera bai popularised our Itihasas and other classicals to become part of every day life.It is almost a different story what we witness to day even after rewinding Ramanand Sagars productions. > After all God is so near yet dear.hands of rich spread every where.so we find no God in Brindavan,Benares and need to locate >God Is available in Birla Mandirs and in punya teerthas only pollution. > yet the craze for God is there and god men is there.Name of God spins money.we need not search for opportunists as there are every where seva dals to guide according to our tastes and wishes. > Swamy Jayendra Sarswati,the symbol of today's Hinduism in the steps of Periyar has landed into problem by becoming close to power and muscle men.We all feel proud to take the name of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham and listen to their preachings.Every time he visited Delhi amidst Ramajanma bhoomi smasya I used to wonder why this simple saint worry about mandir-masjid issue.I could not also resist without getting Swamy jee's darshan.Infact in Delhi we are initiated to Jyotish with His holiness blessing while at the time of beginning and on completion of course.Swamy ji stays in Delhi in his ahram to which we are very close. > swamy ji has been worshipped and his pravachan has always been inspiring to adopt and seek his blessings as many times as possible.But then Destiny has it's own way.As one of our reverred member mentioned transits and gocharas have lot to say.if the same planets can make a saint and symbolise for sacrifice,times too will be there to land any one into shadows.This is what has to worry about. > After all Success of any thing has to make more ardent and sublime.Instead if mislead and purpose is lost all our labour becomes futile.I mean success of Dhrama as well as Adharma.if Dharama is meant for angels and Adharma is wickedness and Rakshas every one can be mislead.May be God has found it is easy to attract people of Adhrma with his chatura and always won over them in the end by protecting Dharma.God has always done his duty how ever belated it might be.Always there are balancing forces irrespective of Yugas > It appears that today the world belongs to rich and so no wonder every thing is influenced through money > krishnan > > Prashant Kumar G B <gbp_kumar wrote: > Dear Arjun Ji, > > it is a paradoxical that the wealthiest, most currupt, criminal get the best of almighty. so godmen can also be part of such elite club. > > if we come to recent saints like Tyagaraja saying Nidhi chaala sukham raamunisaNIDHI chala sukhama then and now all who sing these songs are rolling in money, well for a few years more till classical music is alive. > > but of the puranas if we look all the rakshasa got the full grace, boons of the devathas and one of the trinites gave the boons and another had to nuteralise it when it went out of control. > > IT IS THEY WHO NEED GOD, the normal person is realised enough to see god within himself and around all living forms. the currupt, cruel ones, god has to go to them and bring them back to normal path cleanse their sins too > > else how can we explain the misery Swami Jayanedra saraswathi is undergoing?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Sir, Devotion to what?I believe that devotion to what I believe is best is better than to a slave of siddhanta,religion or theosophy. ultimately we have to realise janma(birth) and mrityu(death) are tow basics that stare at one and all.I f some body can say that these can be avoided and prevented that must be a very fascinating issue altogether.From janma to mrityu the sojourn involves passing through all four stages of Dharma,ardha,kama and moksha.let's therfore realise and bow before the nature we are ready to chnage the gear every time to slip into repective stages.All four stages are as given by Nature/Shristi.we have to only need proper perspective.if sages and seers went in depth and analysed let's figure out what they reall meant of ourselves.They worked in silence and endured several hardships only to bestow their wisdom to us.we need to understand and put our hearts and find concensus to know what we really are krishnan surya <dattapr2000 wrote: Aham Brahmasmi & Sivoham When the students of Adi Sankara uttered Aham Brahma Asmi (I am Brahman), Sankara tolerated but when Sankara told Sivoham (I am Eswara), the disciples also told Sivoham. Then Sankara swallowed the molten lead and showed his controlling power. The disciples could not do so. Then Sankara told Sivah Kevaloham (Only I am the Siva). The simple argument of Advaitha scholars is that the Lord wished to create this world. The life or simple awareness is essential to have a wish. Therefore, the Lord is awareness. The same awareness is in every human being. Every human being is also wishing just like the Lord created this world by His Wish, which is His imagination only. Similarly the human being is also creating its own imaginary world. But there is lot of difference between a hill present in this real world, which is the imagination of the Lord and the hill present in the imaginary world of the human being. If the same awareness is present in the Lord and the human being, both the hills should not have any difference. Since the hills are totally different, there is total difference between the awareness of the Lord and the awareness in the human being. Infact the Lord gave the faculty of imagination to the human being so that he will understand the process of imagination of the Lord in creating the world. But this foolish human being extends the concept into the model and thinks that the model itself is the concept. A model or example cannot be the original concept. Therefore you have to withdraw the attraction or the bond not only from the seven external circles, but also from yourself because you are thinking that you are the Lord and you are attracted towards yourself. Thus finally this self-bond which is also an illusion should be broken and the total attraction should be shifted towards the external super soul or the Lord. Are you greater than Hanuman in any angle? Did He not know Aham Brahmasmi? Are you greater scholar than Hanuman, who always told Daasoham, which means that He is the servant of Rama, who is the then Human Incarnation? If you put these questions to yourself, your illusion of self-bond also disappears. -------- Theists are ready to love anybody or anything (living & non living beings) on the earth except Lord. But when trouble comes, they approach the Lord for solution. Even if entire creation is loved, that is not devotion. Devotion means love on Lord. Only devotion can save you but not the love on the entire creation. Sometimes they interpret by loving everybody, they are loving lord. But, everybody is not Lord. Infact, if your logic is true, why so many people are worshipping Jesus, Krishna as Lord? Are they fools? I am not saying anything against your love on creation. Let it be there. But i suggest you to show simultaneously a little bit of real love on Lord also. Actually Lord is not bothered of our love to Him. But it becomes the responsibility of our's to be faithful to Him. Atheists are denying the Lord and theists are forgetting the Lord. It is same in essence. Hence both are not eligible for any grace of Lord. This is the topmost problem present as of now in the world. ------------ Generally theists believe in the past messengers. They accept only the past incarnations. Both Jesus and Krishna told that they come again. But, no weightage is given to these words in their eyes. Infact Lord comes in every generation otherwise He becomes partial by giving His divine experience to only some people. Ofcourse even the past messengers were also not identified by the people present during that time. This is mainly because of jealousy and egoism. This is a continuous process going on and on. Thiests do not believe that Lord comes in human form and so their discussions will always be in the imagination which atheists cannot believe. If He comes in human form, it will be convincing for atheists also. As of now theists say Lord is there but they cannot show. Then how atheists believe? Both Bible and Gita mention about this Lord in human form concept (God in Flesh & Manusheem Tanu masritaam). The fundamental problem lies in accepting the present messenger in front of our eyes. Like in the past, messengers keep coming in the present and future also, but always a handful of people only accept at the most. The knowledge required to identify Him is the divine knowledge which is to be learnt. Otherwise the same stalemate continues. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org vattem krishnan <bursar_99 wrote: > Dear Arjun ji and Nalini ji, > Some how I feel we are veering around a matter relating to sacrifice to be simple honest .Honest so as to endorse our gratitude to the great Almighty who allows us to coexists with wealth as well as poor people.After all if all that richness is the brightness and the poor constitute the darkness as God and Godmen find their existence,service and kindness meant only for handful(media certainly glorified through DTH and cable) then our analysis is no where near to scriptures.Our classicals tried to teach orderliness and discipline in our thoughts and actions. > we need to inclucate and adopt lives to find the reality and truth.if truth is "aham brahma"why not we accept?Instead why do we drift away and in the end converge to no point of return?is it possible that the thought of sacrifice non attachement can help us to become austentacious and pious minds SURRENDER JOYFULLY TO THE WILL OF THE ULTIMATE DIVINITY AND RELISH THE TASTE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS.
