The devotion will lead you to the abode of God The good works will lead you to heaven temporarily. The bad works will lead you to hell temporarily till you are transformed at least to a large extent. You may enter even the permanent liquid fire or hell for your endless sin, where you have to stay t...

Salvation is for one in millions Sage Sharabhanga could not identify Rama as God, because Rama ended in problems by blindly following the foolish desire of His wife for golden deer even though Lakshmana warned. He submitted his alive body to the fire alter for the sake of God and thus he showed hig...

Why do not all see God? Nobody sees God. God is not touched even by imagination. How can we see God? God enters some medium and becomes visible through that medium (through Lord in human form or Son of God). Through that medium also you are experiencing only the existence God. Only experience of ex...

Defects and merits of Christianity , Hinduism, Islam Hinduism has two defects. The first is that all the rituals are not conducted in the mother tongue. The rituals involve hymns in Sanskrit. In the ancient days, Sanskrit was the mother tongue of the sages. They understood the meaning of the ritual...

The essence of all the religions is one and the same The essence of all the religions is one and the same since the Universal God gives it. The religions are different from each other because the religious leaders who are the human beings create the material that surrounds the essence. The skeleton...

World Religions If anyone says that his/her religion is the only path to God and that other paths lead to hell, I have one humble question. The question is for every religion without any trace of partiality. The simple question is: Today I have heard your Religion and if I follow that, I reach God ...

Logic Only can bring unity among religions Today the development of science is terrible, which is the faculty of logic and analysis. Today the heart is reduced and the brain is expanded. The old generations were having a broad heart and less brain. The heart can be inspired by appeals but the brain...

Unity of Religions The correlation of the scriptures of various religions was done in a detailed way by several prophets who aimed at the world peace. Even I have done this correlation in major topics like human rebirth, concept of human incarnation etc. The effect of such correlation is not much b...

Point taken. I'm teavelling at the month and using a blackberry for surfing - and have avoided opening (let alone reading DS's posts) I am loathe to just delete his pastes - although this has been done in the past. I think we can choose to allow him his opinions and choose whether to try and engage...

Do I have to start believing in reincarnation? If so, perhaps we can explore the philosophy of this doctrine and compare it with what Islam teaches. Cheers, Shafique Dear Shafique, Thank you very much for the reply. Where Islam has to change? Yes. Islam has to go a long distance further in terms of...

eg whether Matthew is correct that Pilate was not responsible for killing Jesus, or whether Paul's commands for women not to speak in Church should be ignored because he implies something different in another part of the Bible. Kinda like the passages that are ignored in the Koran where 'Allah' com...

God is pleased with purity of our devotion alone God’s grace and our selfishness The only one point that hinders the fall of God’s grace on you is the instantaneous desire of the human being, which is always directed towards selfish end. The love on God is expressed as devotion by most of the human...

People avoid service to God stating that God does not require The statue of Rama without any shelter was seen by Ramdas. He felt the need of shelter for the statue. In fact, an inert stone carved as statue does not require any shelter since it is nonliving object. Atheists thought like this and rej...

Impure Vs Pure devotion to God The devotion of demons shows wonderful depth and intensity. Ravana cuts all his heads and offers as flowers to the lotus feet of the Lord. Kannappa, the devoted hunter plucks his eyes to be offered to God. One can be alive without eyes, but not without head. Hence, Ra...

Thanks Dattaswami - I'm glad you quoted my statement to eh about Matthew stating that Pilate was not responsible for killing Jesus. Note how he chose not to defend the Bible, but rather attack the Quran with his favourite 'quaint belief' QB1. At least I guess he is sharing the love and wanted you a...

The final indicating sign to recognize God in human form You are excited on realizing some body as God and you will not freely move with Him to clarify your doubts.

God do not bother about the nature of medium into which He enters Even in the real human incarnation, the characteristics of the medium are not disturbed by the internal God. People think that the characteristics of God are opposite to the characteristics of nature of the medium. This is not correc...

There is no loss to the devotee if the faith is standing still If some body sacrificed totally in practice and realizes later on that the God-ship of the saint is not true, what will be the fate of the devotee? The devotee will be blessed by God even though the saint is not God. The reason here is ...

Is the turbulence in life is due to previous life's karmas? Now you have understood the meaning of karma. A person did some bad deed (paapa karma or vikarma).

Significance of Churches/Temples O Learned and Devoted Servants of God, Why is there so much rush in temples? There is only one reason.

In the Hindu religion, astrologers and priests must also realize the truth. By worshipping planets and deities, the results of bad deeds cannot vanish and the results of good deeds that are not done by you, cannot be achieved. God (Parabrahma) pervading all these planets and deities internally, is L...

Lord is a wonderful bank! Return the money to the Lord with love The Veda says that God is true and infinite knowledge (Satyam jnanam anantam…) and Guru Datta is the God.

Metaphors in the scriptures The Veda has clearly told that the Sun is not God (Nedam tat). Therefore, the Veda said that no item in the nature is the Lord (Neti Neti).

Difficulty in accepting Divine Knowledge Accepting a particular human being as the Lord is very very difficult. Therefore, knowledge of the Lord (Brahma Vidya) is very complicated.

So you believe these miracles physically happened - and two different people physically lifted up mountains. Ok - thanks for clarifying. Can similar miracles happen today?
