In the Kali Yuga, it is not possible for man to meditate on the formless and infinite nature of god. And the only way to attain salvation is by utterance of the lord's divine name.<BR/><BR/>Rituals indeed have meaning. And scientific backing too. It's just that most people do not know the significance of the rituals they're supposed to follow.<BR/><BR/>Finally, following religious practices is no doubt, a personal expression of faith. But faith in what, you might ask. In someone having more powers? In someone who created you?<BR/><BR/>It's not about foregoing a meal for someone less fortunate. It's not about who smokes how many cigarettes or pollutes how much of the air... It's just about knowing that you yourself are a part of God as much as he is a part of you. Realizing the cosmic truth is something that you are blessed with...

But we forget that and...We are Gods no doubt in it. But we forget that and act in a different way. Rama and Krishna are individuals. they are typical characters one is happy with one lady but the other is with so many. Dont you see such characters around u in the present world. But something is there behind all these stories. <BR/>Hey! don't think that the fasting is done for pleasing the Gods. I think it is just to make you face the hard times.. suppose if u don't get food of your choice you should be able to survive with what you get or what u have. In the olden times they were teaching the children by telling them that 'if u dont do it God will punish u'. Have i ever told u like that? Those days the children were not so smart enough to ask their parents. The small children,students and office goers need not have to fast. WE need energy to work. It is meant for others.<BR/>OK If u dont want to fast dont do it. Don't think that the person who is fasting do not want to feed the poor!<BR/><BR/> After biting the pen or the finger just smell it and see why they are telling like that?<BR/>It is not diwali it is deepavali.<BR/>The word "Diwali" is the corruption of the Sanskrit word "Deepavali" -- Deepa meaning light and Avali, meaning a row. It means a row of lights and indeed illumination forms its main attraction. I also don't believe in 'Ravan ko jalana' and pollute the air.Rabindranath Tagore has so aptly put forth the true significance of Diwali in these beautiful lines:<BR/><BR/>"The night is black Kindle the lamp of LOVE With thy life and devotion."<BR/><BR/> Finally the heaven is here only one can make it a hell if one wants. If everything is man made who has made the man, water, air, earth, fire and the sky?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19829005.post-1159454378724705792006-09-28T20:09:00.001+05:302006-09-28T20:09:00.001+05:30ppl befor ve done it we blindly follow... its like...ppl befor ve done it we blindly follow... its like during exams or time of crisi we prayeer harder than usual or say an extra prayer. that kinda helps us get the feeling of being near God or if its u who is god, to give ureslef the strength to proceed with confidence... all ppl neeed is someone to hold onto so he/she/it is just that!!! <BR/>when v are young we have imaginary friends wen we grow up they get another term God!!!Anuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871617136335902135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19829005.post-1159454376674874142006-09-28T20:09:00.000+05:302006-09-28T20:09:00.000+05:30ppl befor ve done it we blindly follow... its like...ppl befor ve done it we blindly follow... its like during exams or time of crisi we prayeer harder than usual or say an extra prayer. that kinda helps us get the feeling of being near God or if its u who is god, to give ureslef the strength to proceed with confidence... all ppl neeed is someone to hold onto so he/she/it is just that!!! <BR/>when v are young we have imaginary friends wen we grow up they get another term God!!!Anuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871617136335902135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19829005.post-1159420356652465232006-09-28T10:42:00.001+05:302006-09-28T10:42:00.001+05:30wondered abt the same thing...so i asked my friend...wondered abt the same thing...so i asked my friends why do they fast...and i got answers ranging from "i've been doin it since long" to "dont you know navratri's going on". well ..this never answered my question...and it never will...i agree when u say that if at all there is a "god",it in no way can be anthropomorphical .!! <BR/>it is amazing to say how majority of the ppl believe in something that can be an illusionBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736687349445037927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19829005.post-1159420352315302942006-09-28T10:42:00.000+05:302006-09-28T10:42:00.000+05:30wondered abt the same thing...so i asked my friend...wondered abt the same thing...so i asked my friends why do they fast...and i got answers ranging from "i've been doin it since long" to "dont you know navratri's going on". well ..this never answered my question...and it never will...i agree when u say that if at all there is a "god",it in no way can be anthropomorphical .!! <BR/>it is amazing to say how majority of the ppl believe in something that can be an illusionBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736687349445037927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19829005.post-1159204186828929632006-09-25T22:39:00.000+05:302006-09-25T22:39:00.000+05:30he he he he suddenly u come up with things like th...he he he he suddenly u come up with things like this.., even i keep arguing with my mother abo going to church on sundays, like he listens only if u go to church or do good things, if u want god to notice u i think u should do bad things and then good things may be then he will say this person has improved in life he he he heDaNcErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518142160451200433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19829005.post-1159090028673854012006-09-24T14:57:00.000+05:302006-09-24T14:57:00.000+05:30too good yar don't worry u definately got entry in...too good yar don't worry u definately got entry in heaven n don't forgot to say him/her or whatever it is!say my hi to that blue dude. bye take carebhavna2716https://www.blogger.com/profile/16706514396300879740noreply@blogger.com
