Radhe Krishna To all,God will be no God if He does not answer the sincere prayers of devotees. So He blesses people with the fulfillment of their desires. He answers their prayers provided they pray with sincerity and faith. People who say that their prayers are not answered are people who do not have much of a faith in God and who pray just like that on the off cha nce that He might after all help. By and large, the majority of devotees belong to this category only. They pray with a selfish motive.Materialism is their creed. Worldly success is their goal. They are not interested in the theory of rebirth or in the other world or in spiritual salvation. To the extent that God can help them in their material ambitious, well and good. These are the people who, when they get

into trouble, when they are faced with difficulties which they find themselves unable to tackle with their own wit, turn to God out of sheer despair and helplessness. These are the people who, though not normally given to visiting temples and doing worship, will one day suddenly clean the Puja room and light lamps and buy flower-garlands to decorate the Deity. Once their prayers are answered, the lights in the Puja room will go out, and in the place of flower-garlands, cobwebs will gather. God will then go out of their mind. Like putting a car back in the garage after use, they relegate God to the background once He has done His work for them and they need Him no more. But then, in matters like this, there can be no generalization. There are people who develop a real and lasting faith in God after once experiencing his saving grace in a time of crisis. The crisis in personal life and consequent helplessness turn their mind, for the first

time maybe, towards God and religion, and once they experience God's grace their initial half- hearted approach to God turns into living faith. People who turn to God and spirituality for the sake of God and spirituality form or constitute a microscopic minority among devotees. But they are there. They have seen the world, understood the utter worthlessness of life on the earth-plane, realized its transience, realized its miseries and want to get out of it all. They have heard it said that abiding peace can be had only in God and they desire to know how to reach Him. They are the spiritual seekers proper. They seek the Spirit. The attraction for matter, for the world, has died in their mind, albeit temporarily. --------- "Hinduism in a Changing world - Challenges and Opportunity"Please watch the inspirational videos Part-1,2 & 3
