SANKARASRAMAM


GOD, CREATION AND MANIFESTATION
In Semitic religion, the  god is like a man walking from one point of the world to the other, doing many things and getting many things done. The  god is like a king instructing  all his creations to obey only him and follow only him.
In Sanaathana dharma everything in this world is the manifestation of the god. Here, god is not the king, nor the ruler. He does not instruct you to follow only him and make only him happy.
God is present in everything and everything in this world is the manifestation of the god.  So they  have to care share and cure each other .
Thus we can see our mother, father, people, animals, plants,  the sun, the moon, we ourselves  and so on are  the manifestation of the god and we say maatru devo bhava, pitru devo bhava and so on
Thus the god exist in these  manifestations. (eesaavaasyamidam sarvam).  All these are  parts of the god (inseparable parts). Thus you and me  (aham brahmaasmi, thathwamasi) are also  the  manifestation.  So we are the children of immortal god  and not sinners (amruthasya putraa).
 Even a stone, river, mountain, forest  and so on are also the  part of the cosmic / universe / solar system (sarvam khalvidam brahma). So they are divine and hence we should  see the divinity even in a stone and idol. .
If we think god is like a person going from one end to the other end, it means  that he cannot go to each person when millions of people call him.  If the god is within us, we need not  wait for his arrival. We go to the temple only to remind us that god is present even in an idol.  So god  is the power from which every living  and non living beings are born, surviving and at the end reaching back. (yato vaa imaani bhoothaani jaayante, yena vaa jaathaani jeevanthi, yath prayanthi abhi samvisanthi, thath vijajnaasaswa, thath brahmeti )
When we can see  divinity in  everything we will not pollute the water, air, earth,  and we will not kill, injure,  destroy, anything or any other living beings  because they are the manifestation of the god. This concept is getting  high level acceptance world over.
You can see many westerners are chanting Veda mantras. Albert Einstein  used to worship the god on this cosmic form. The 5 Ft  Nataraja vigraha is kept in the entrance of European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Geneva, Switzerland, the Chicago National Museum has hundreds of Indian  Idols. Even  many intellectuals, scientists and thinkers including Hollywood actors  are practicing yoga, doing meditation, chanting mantra………Indian  heritage is being  accepted world over. Try to learn more and more and teach others.
