Earthquake prediction- an affront to human sufferings

[Guest guest]

I totally agree with your view. The notion that hundreds of thousands had to

suffer because a so-called exhalted personage was subject to adharma is an

affront not to just rationality but to the religious tenets the world over.

I am amazed that we still hold on to the notion of a vengefull God, or here in

this case dispropriotanate sense of karma. To beleive in some way that God has

favourites is back ward thinking and not consistent with the concepts we learn

in jyotish.

 

Additionally it is also ethnocentric, To believe in some way the suffering of

Kanchi seer has to be balanced by suffering of hundreds of thousands from all

over south asia is totally ridiculous and reeks of religious fanatism.

 

Everything that happens is because of cause and effect. We learn that in Jyotish

and yet here we have discussions of how one particular event leading to

sufferings that affect thousands.

 

Siva is right. It belittles the suffering and allows for seemingly intellectual

rationalisation of human suffering.

Adharma is expressed in various forms at various times by various people and culminates

 

What do we learn about in Vedanta ? That one man is no greater than the other.

That the atma that exists in one man, even if he is a saint is the same atma in

a sinner and that the jivatama is Note: forwarded message attached.

Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Sreemad Raghavendra Theertha Swamiji Predicted Earth Quake

Dear Siva,

While, I agree that basic human values and common sense should prevail,

why is it all right to give it a go by in case of the pontiff? Your

enlightening comments would surely be appreciated.

The arrest of Matathipathi Jeyandrar may or may not be dharmic - I dont

want to go into that discussion as I dont know him or the incidents

that

led to him. However commenting that this disaster that has occurred

(that

too in many countries) was a result of some arrest is insulting all the

helpless people that died and is inhuman. Please refrain from such

comments

for your own personal sake. Atleast ask your common sense before

posting

such non-sense that insults the Divine. Once we lose basic human values

and

common sense, no Swami can save our spiritual growth.
