of Our Karma, Dharma and Prayers
How do people
see God in various forms for their various needs. | |
| |
| | The
relationship of One Supreme Truth, God, and the many Gods | |
| | | As
we analyze the relationship of One Supreme Truth, God, as the Absolute Reality
and the many Gods we pray to as the manifestations of the relative reality of
the phenomenal world, we enter into some interesting questions. "
What roles do the Avathãrãs or manifestations play in our daily
activities? " What roles do the Celestial forces like Agni, Vãyu,
Indra and Varuna play? " How do the Navagrahas or the nine planets affect
our present and future? " Why do we do poojãs or fire rituals
to these Planets and Celestial Forces?

| | | "
If Planets and horoscope has our future, then what roles do Gods play? "
Does the Supreme God get angry or punish people who do the wrong act? "
Does the Supreme God reward only people who offer prayers? " If Karma
determines our life, then why do we have to pray to Gods? " Why do good
people suffer and why do good things happen to bad people? " How do
we get the ultimate eternal Peace of our mind with true happiness?

| | | All
people are born with three inherent qualities called gunas. They are called Sãtvika,
Rãjasika and Tãmasika gunas. In each person, while all three gunas
are present, one of these may be more dominant than the other two. Sãtvika
represents calmness and desire to follow the proper divine laws or Dharma and
desire to study and learn. Rãjasika represent desires to seek power, pleasures
and material prosperity while Tãmasika represent ignorance and a lack of
desire to study, learn and achieve excellence to lead or follow any Divine principle.
Sãtvika person learns more about the true nature of the universe. He studies
and seeks the true knowledge of Paramãtma and all creations. Rãjasika
person has some understanding of the principles and philosophy of the Divine and
true nature of human souls but desires more of the comforts and enjoyment of the
phenomenal universe. Tãmasika person has the least knowledge of the true
nature of the Divine but may keep the thoughts very simple, with a blind devotion.
