Weak & Handicapped
Some are born
To Rich Parents
Some are born

Why GOD is so unkind
?
Why GOD is so cruel
?
God cannot be… ALL POWERFUL & ALL MERCIFUL simultaneously
Some argue…
If God is… ALL POWERFUL…
…then He may not be ALL MERCIFUL…
as we see so many suffering s around us.
If God is… ALL MERCIFUL…
…then He may not be
ALL POWERFUL…
…as He seems incapable of alleviating the suffering.
Scriptures inform that God is
The Supreme Well-wisher
&
The Supreme Powerful
In the Bhagavad-gétä (9.29), Lord Kåñëa personally declares: samo ’haà sarvabhüteñu “I am equal to all.”
Then why this discrimination ?
In a law court
…the judge awards…
…rigorous imprisonment to one…
…and the same judge awards…
…lakhs of compensation to another.
Is he partial?
No!
Based activities Whyonisthe the judgeof individuals, the judge giving different gives different judgments, judgments? according to the law.
Likewise… karmaëä daiva-netreëa jantur dehopapattaye striyäù praviñöa udaraà puàso retaù-kaëäçrayaù
“Under the supervision of the Supreme Lord and according to the result of his work, the living entity, the soul, is given a particular type of body.”
Even Newton’s third law of motion states …
“Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.”
But who is witnessing our activities?
The Lord is seated in our heart as the Parmatma as a witness to our activities.
Lord Kåñëa says in the Bhagavad-gétä (8.6),
yaà yaà väpi smaran bhävaà tyajaty ante kalevaram taà tam evaiti kaunteya sadä tad-bhäva-bhävitaù
Lord Kåñëa says in the Bhagavad-gétä (8.6),
“Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kunté, that state he will attain without fail.”
In human form of life we have got developed intelligence to discriminate and lead responsible lives.
If we engage in sinful activities of
Illicit Sex …which are Meat Eating known as the four pillars of Gambling sinful life… Intoxication
…we will suffer…
… KARMIC Reactions
…and degrade to lower life forms.
If we lead responsible lives following religious principles & practicing …
Austerity
Sacrifice
Cultivation of Knowledge
Associating with Saintly Persons
We elevate graduall y to the kingdom of God.
