Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Dear Sadakas Namasthe. I am having a question kindly provide me a answer Whether God lives in the temples in the form of deity or he lives in the heart of the people. Since when we visit the temple we are not feeling vibrations but while in meditation we feel at our heart with vibrations and joy With love Krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Jai Gurudev, This is a very important and significant question. This has been asked and answered so many times. To me, God is everywhere. He is very much in the temples and at the same time in the hearts of people. It is upto us where we can feel His presence. In India, there are so many temples where we feel high vibrations, for example, Jwalaji, Vaishno Devi Jakhu Mandir etc. I happened to visit a church in Ukraine and had the same vibrations as I feel in Jwalaji temple. Further, it is not necessary that we have this feeling in only famous temples. There may be a very small temple in a remote village which is not known to anybody and we feel as if God is just standing by our side energising us. It all depend on our own state of mind. If our thoughts are atuned with God we will feel His presence everywhere whether it is a temple, on the bank of a river, in a jungle, amidst flowers, even in the crowd. If our thought are focused on God, He will make us feel something extra wherever we are. Jai Gurudev , " srcm_tdk " <srcm_tdk wrote: > > Dear Sadakas > > Namasthe.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 God lives in my heart. 72 times a minute He reminds me of His presence through blood supply to my entire body. God also is seen outside us everyday. He looks like a hungry man needing food, thirsty man in quest of water,and a sich man craving for healing. He includes She also. In temples God is " imprisoned " by priests and temple managers. There His doors are opened at certain times,closed at some other times.In temples God needs police protection against theft etc. Let us recognise the true God and serve Him ijswamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I will give a slightly strange answer- God only lives in the Temples, no where else! For God to exist, there must be another, duality, the concept of you & me. The Being that lives in the Heart(the Angushthan Purusha as the Upanishads call it) is a part of our Self- it is our Real Self. It is " God " as far as we are " God " . Our real Self is actually higher than God, since God is what is called in Tantra Ishwar tattva- when the Higher indescribable Being lower forms of Himself so we can worship Him. There are 1000s millions of these forms- Shiv, Vishnu, Indra Durga Kali etc. But all of them are lower than the Universal Self, which is also our Self, the being that lives in our heart. So God, which is when you worship something external to you, lives in the temples. Our Real Self, which always exists in Sat-Chit-Anand(Truth-Conciousness-Bliss) lives in the Heart.
