Now a days praying God has become fashion and fancy . True devotion is hardly seen. God in true spirit does'nt like pomp and show.He only asks us to spare a minute physically and mentally exclusively for him.This inspiration has become a thought to share with the interested brothers and sisters.
PART IV
At times , I have been confused with a little doubt that People are just praying God only to show off their devotion to others .I saw so many MAHARAJAS/ BABAS who are giving lectures / pravachanams on God are ever really undergone the power of feeling of God.We all know GOD is pervading in all the things of this Universe. The GOD who is the creator of all rivers , mountains , planets , light and darkness and some people feels that God is appearing to them in the form of His own creation.
God is a magic word for so many who gets solace from the just utterance of his name in any religion. Some times, I get a little doubt that the so called Mathadhi Patis / Maharajs ever seen the God or feeling the bliss of God because of their continuous search in God.
Performing pooja / japa / yagna and offerings of animals would appease God is the question. Some of the pandits say that , to appeal/ appease God, only meditation in the name of God is enough but not necessarily to perform all the above. In that context , I feel that these Functions / Krathuvus like Brahmotsavams/ Yajnas are not necessary to really appeal God.
Bhakta Sabari and Bhakta Kannappa are the real examples where GOD really shown that He does not require any show off related krathuvus , but only requires real bhakti(devotion)
I also some times feel that , God will suddenly punish the people with accidents or any other calamity , even if ,they are his true devotees. For example , so many people died in the road accidents when they are coming back from their piligrimage.Why this would happen to such devotees? Can God not change the destiny of such bhaktas?
Are we really serving God by creating huge pandals and large statues just like in Vinayaka Nimajjanam? If God is not happy with this , why this is continued?
Two types of praying God , one is Saguno Pasana and Nirguno Pasana, the former followed by Hindus and later is followed by Muslims. which is correct? when both are correct to reach GOD, why are these religions are created?
When God is one for all , there seems to be no base for existence of different religions in the universe. Not only the base for creation of religions but also the existence of religions itself is not necessary. I say Lord Krishna is great , another Muslim friend say that Allah is great. Christian friend says Father ( since Lord Jesus is the messenger of God) is the greatest. From where these GODS were created?. Is it only man's creation to show his supremacy over the others or whether really God's have taken birth in different times?
Further the real confused thing is when we say God is one for all , why Muslims friends did not bother about seeing a pilgrimage centre of Hindus and if you go back to history, so many Muslims kings have demolished the temples of Gods who another sect thinks that the temples are sacred .In Sabari Malai , Lord AYYAPPA is the GOD for millions of HINDUS.As the belief for existence of GOD, suddenly a star Makara Jyothi appears on the day of makara sankranthi, confirming all devotees that God is existing and showing miracle.Still so many non - Hindus and even Hindus argue that this is only a natural phenomena.
Mecca is the Birth place of Prophet Mohammed who is the God's sent messenger. But a muslim in his life time should visit Mecca at least one time . But Hindu brothers do not believe in this and Hindus need not visit. So is the case with Bethelham and Vatican . Christian brothers believe in this and non - Christians wouldn’t believe. That means , for every sect, there must be a separate God. If God is the creator of this Universe, there must be , if logically think, only one God should exist.. Only one God should rule this Universe and all should follow one GOD. If every one follows one God, there must be only one religion.
Under these circumstances , the fundamental question is 'are our Gods really happy?'
