Mrs Anupama, Agreed. But before we read those books dont we check if they are the right books. Right subject. According to syllabus. Check if they can get me started easily and pick up. Dont we check if these books are any good looking at the results and see howmany people succeeded after following the book? I can't read a 1972 civil services guide and expect to pass the 2004 civil services exam, can I? Another example in the same context. Before joining a coaching center dont we examine the results they are giving. Do we just depend on somebody recommending. Sure we start that way. But we also look at hard evidence like they success they achieved in the previous years. The marks they left in the past. Dont we?

Dear Mr Raghothama Rao Well, I am not God so I cannot light up the room with my spirit. So I would trust in the God who can light up, let alone the room, the whole world and the whole universe to speak literally. So this is the God we should look for earnestly, My point is we dont just trust when somebody says so. We analyse and trust. Why are we not using the samething when we search for God? Dear Mrs. Anupama, The universe is abound with evidence of God. The acceptance of existance is not related to education or teaching. It is inbuilt into the human nature. Even the remote tribes in isolated islands and jungles of Africa believe that there is God. So the onus of proof lies on people who say there is no God. Not people like you and me who believe there is God.

Dear Mr Raghothama Rao, When we believe in something and trust it with our spirit which is more valuable than this mortal body. For example. Even if we buy a simple light bulb we test it. We buy a car we drive it around before we even think about going ahead. Isnt our spirit more valuable than these material things. When we put our spirit in the hand of a God isnt it wrong in analysing what we trust in?

Well, Mrs Anupama, Can you please specifically pin point during which time period they lived. is there any extra-puranic evidence to their existance.

Dear Mr. Vachaspati Velavartipati, )))Religion is a faith. God need not be )))necessarily part of it. About this quote. Where there is no light there is darkness. Where is no God there is evil. Faith is not an individual perception. If a faith/religion is devoid of God it is of the devil. So we need to take a good look at what we are going to believe. Would you travel is a plane I polit. I bet you wouldnt unless you know that I am certified, the airlines is reputable. Travel is Physical. Faith and belief are more important than this mortal container. So we need to take a hard, deep, if needed critical look and decide whether the Faith we have is on the right God or not. Beware.

Dear Miss kodatha adugaku, manalo dEvuDu unnaDu anukOvaDam apOha maatramE . Man is evil by nature. Take a 3 year kid he envies when we give candy to other kid and he tries to snatch. He wants all toys. 3 year old kid is not mature enough to understand about possessions or envy or covetous ness. Take us for instance. Its easy to learn bad habits than Good ones. Because its our inherant nature. Man is evil by nature. The change should come from within. Somebody more powerful than evil should go in there to clean it. That cleaner is God. We can start by inviting God into our hearts. Thats when the change begins. Not from external efforts. External efforts only leave us dissatisfied and cynical.

Dear Mr Budhimantudu God is beyond the physical forms we can make. We insult God if we limit the form of God with a limited shape. The Holy God should be worshipped in spirit not in form. So when we worship that form we are taking what is God's and giving it to an object which can neither walk talk speak listen, forget saving us cannot even save itself.

Let everybody who is interested to know more about the praanahuthi aided meditation to gain access to divinity may go to that website Anupama has indicated in her posting below. In the initial stages we do get attached to physical form of guru but slowly his form too dissolves leaving our vision towards that vacuumed state which will be created by this practise of meditation on heart. when you are holding the mango fruit in your hand why do you want to know its taste instead of tasting it yourself to experience? I have given you the method ,it is up to you to appreciate my stmts after you too taste the experience of divine presence by doing that practise just on an experimental purpose.

Lets take a story. There was a man who planted a tree. when the tree grew. He cut it and made 3 parts. 1 part he used to heat himself in the cold of the night. One part he used to cook his food. The other part he made an idol, decorated it and worshipped. It can neither hear him nor talk to him nor move. This is the same tree he planted and in his ignorance worshipped. He forgot totally about the God he made the tree grow by giving rain. Idol worship is this ignorance that takes away the glory from God and gives it inanimate objects.
