Since childhood, i have always asked myself , does GOD really exist and if so where is he,how he looks,why he created this planet and etc and nothing big deal about me behaving that way.If eminent personalities and successful people of 21st century can ask that question, then i think iam still innocent.
I have always liked to begin my blogs with blessings of Lord Krishna but i think it would be pretty unfair for me to do so since it beats the very purpose of writing this blog.I always wondered, back in the beginning of 1500's or may be earlier to that, people were so free that they simply sat under an apple tree to discover gravity.What went up must come down. It was the greatest invention of modern physics .The religious leaders had a very grate control over how the society must be shaped and kept the people focused on GOD. Be it the Vatican Rome or be it the Brahmanism in INDIA.They never liked an out of the box thinking and hated science and human logic. So much so that the Vatican got Galileo almost killed just because he saw the venus planet, in his new telescope that he built.In INDIA, the ancient Brahmin priests always wanted control of people.So much they feared of losing control, that they wanted people to fold their hands in front of the GOD.That the feeling of devotion towards the GOD is a man made thing.The priests were the politicians of the ancient INDIA.
The birth of a human being starts with a cry.The feeling of insecurity is the first feeling of LIFE and humans are programmed to behave like that.Its in the DNA to be like that.We are designed to disagree with the truth.But the truth never changes.It a universal constant.Who has written this DNA?How does our body know that it has to fight bacteria and infectious virus?How does the heart know that it has to pump a lot of blood to the body so that the oxygen can be supplied to every cell of the body.Why do we have eyebrows?How does the lung know that it needs to be put out the carbon dioxide out of the body?Why do we have millions of kilometers of nerves connecting our body? It must have taken the greatest of the engineers to design every part of our body.The non believers of GOD must know better on all those questions.
We live in a small place called Mother Earth, but for human imagination, its a big world and this is the only truth existing and the rest of the universe is really lifeless.The non believers must be taking pride in this fact that we take birth on this planet,live for 60years and die on the same place.Since we dont have anywhere else to go,we really want to enjoy our lives simply by being a free bird. Our history,our value system is really not to be bothered about and there is no attempt to understand the bigger truth that GOD exists everywhere in all forms and for a specific reason.We cannot judge GOD based on the emotions and intelligence gifted to us by the very GOD.The more distant we are from the truth, the more distance we are from GOD.
Sometimes i really wonder the beauty of the creator.The Moon as an example is one of the purest forms of master stroke. Imagine if there was no Moon, we would not have waves or currents on the oceans and if there were no waves, there would not have been any atmosphere.There would not have been seasons like summer and winter.The Moon does not have any life forms by itself , yet it is beautiful .It has become a symbol of love and romance simply because it supports LIFE on earth. Are we still searching for GOD?
The earth is perfectly round in shape from the space and in perfect size.So beautiful.Now lets imagine what would have happened if the Earth was more bigger or more smaller than what it is now.Had the earth been a little more bigger, then we would not have a 24 hours cycle.Days and Nights would be longer.The more mass a planet has, the more slower it revolves and more the gravity it attracts.Like a Filmstar, more the weight, more the popularity.Since the gravity would be more, we would weigh some thousands of kilos and our body simply would be dragged to the land by the gravity and humans would be much shorter in length.We would not be able to run and do hard work since the gravitational pull on the body is so huge.Our blood would be cold and simply life cannot evolve on such a place.And even if life did evolve we would just be in a hibernating sleep for time endless. Now lets imagine how it would be if the earth was much smaller. Smaller the mass, smaller the gravity and so earth would be much nearer to the SUN due to its gravitational pull and our SUN would have roasted our planet and life simply cannot survive.Our Earth has its own immune systems in place.Like the atmosphere filtering out the dangerous UV rays of the SUN.Life has evolved here simply because we are perfectly placed in the solar system and for a specific reason.
We all have seen cartoon shows during our childhood.Life was so pretty funny to see chota bheem and tintin.Some of us have also seen serials like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.Its so funny to see Krishna simply vanishing in air and appearing at a place some thousands of kilometers away.The graphics editing has made a mesmerizing picture and its really a wow show.Some smart kids try their logic to ask how can a person simply vanish in air like that.But, to understand the truth we must rise above ourselves and explore the opportunity of mature thinking.
The reality is that people in those days could achieve special powers to travel faster than light itself.Well known sages like the Durvasa, Dhananjaya, Koundinya,Kasyapa could go to the heavens and come back in a jiffy.Knowledge made them to attain such extraordinary powers.The technology in those days was just too advanced to the common sense of the man in 21st century.Men of today have still not found a thing that can travel at speeds faster than the light.After decades of hard work, we could only successfully setup a Lab called the CERN, where tests are being conducted to extract the GOD PARTICLE which the modern day scientists believe will help us to build space vehicles to travel at least to 99.9% of the speed of light.
What would have happened to us if Albert Einstein simply spent his life as a patent clerk, is rather an interesting thought.The man who spent his entire lifetime in making a single mathematical equation that will tell us GOD's thoughts.The man who taught us the exact distance from sun to mercury with precision to centimeters.If it wasnt for him , modern science as we know it would not have evolved.The general and the special relativity theories would never have come into reality.The famous equation of e=mc^2 would have never seen the light of the day.No GPS or no satellites would have ever existed. We have all seen the movie Interstellar and yes it was a real fun watching in an IMAX screen. Quantum physics and the the thought of a 5 dimensional universe created by our future civilizations sounds an interesting script for a movie.Time travel from within a blackhole and for a father of some 35 years travelling at the speed of light,visiting planets after plantes only to come home and see his daughter celebrating 100yrs is a weird thought.But for the first time science too agrees to this logic and that this is a possibility. But many religions have already predicted this in their scriptures right from the very day its was written, some millions and millions of years ago.The logic and common sense has been well documented in the scriptures , without any ambiguity.Our History and our scriptures form the very basic intuition and inspiration for us to believe in the future. Sage Vyasa who is credited for writing down the entire Mahabharata events has documented the entire 18 days epic war by noting down the constellations and the star moments and the meteor occurring. Many scientists around the world went back in time for about 5000 years and then came the exact 18 day period which matches the exact star placements as described in the 18 days war.Stunning similarities of the Judgement day in Christianity, the prophet mohammed taking birth again or the Kalki avatar of the Vishnu.
Marriage traditions in this world , dates back to as old as civilization itself. In Hindu marriages there is a traditional custom that the priest performing the marriage must show the new couple, the arundhati and the vasistha stars in the sky.Not many people know that this is done for a specific reason. In reality these stars are the rarest that they revolve around each other only. The new couple too must behave like the stars revolving around each other.
Our history and tradition offers us the best common sense to be learnt from.The power to define our future lies in our hands but we cannot overlook our history,religion and the trust in GOD.Since these form the very energy required to believe in a better future. The complexities of life in the 21st century have driven us to an emotional state and we want to see GOD in the smaller things of life.Its only that we dont make the right choices that we are becoming more and more deeper into emotional beings.The choices we have are very clear and we cannot blame GOD for the choices we make.When i am hungry, i have a choice.I can feed myself or i can feed someone who has not eaten in days.When travelling in a bus, i have a choice.I can simply listen to the latest hits on FM or i can vacate my seat for an elderly person .At a road accident , i can simply stand there to see who crashed or i can run towards the scene and offer water.The choices we have are clear and our choices simply makes us to understand the ultimate truth and feel an invisible force of truth and honesty.
Its the beauty of this very life that we are free to chose our own GOD.
For some of us, its our parents,its Krishna,Its Jesus or its Allah.For some its the SUN and for some its the MOON.For some its the wood,for some its the metal.For some its Love and for some its Sacrifice.For some its the Earth and for some its the Mars.For some its the air and for some its the water.For some Hinduism/Christianity/Islam are religions and for some not believing in GOD is a religion.Be it whatever, we always need an invisible force to believe in our future.The ultimate supreme.To do better,to help people, to breath the fragrance of a flower,to look at the skies,to feel the inner consciousness,to believe in that power,to be at peace, to make a better future,to live this life, we must bow down to that invisible force which is constantly driving us forward. The name can by anything but this force is always there around us.In Good and bad times,in days and nights,in oceans and lakes,in the skies and the lands,in the air we breath in and out, The beauty of this force unites the universe and supports the life...The search of the ultimate finally ends.
With Blessings from Lord Krishna,
Jeevan Varma.
