Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 In response to your post: >Hanuman's followers have brought, not only Hanuman, but his mood of > devotion/Bhakti for God, to the whole world. 1) Neither Hanuman's nor Crhist's greatness are dependent upon whether or not follower/devotees spread teachings, dogma, practices, etc. The greatest testament to each is the state they achieved and the model they present to humanity. >Hanuman's glory and Love (are) available to anyone sincerely interested. >Unlike the "so called" Christians, Hanuman's followers never tried to subvert >people's faith in God. 2) The power of your message is diminished when you paint all followers of Christ with the same brush. You make the same mistake as the misguided sub-group of Christians you indite by superimosing the imperfect practices of devotees over the perfect lives of living Saints. Christ taught tolerance, forgiveness, humility, and love for all- even one's enemies. There is a unity of purpose and action at work in the lives of all Saints, Avatars, and gods. Christ's true words and teachings belong to the same lineage as Lord Shiva, Saraswati, Ganesha, Vishnu, Lakshmi, Durga, Hanuman, Rama, Krisha and the thousands of fully realized teachers through the ages. One must come to the conclusion that they are all true or all false. Who among us has the right or authority to say that the Vedas are divine scriture and the Bible is not, or that the Bible is but the Quoran is not, or that the Gita is but the Sermon on the Mount is not? I have never heard a great being speak or write these words. My experience has been that all great beings are nothing more than expressions of Divine Shakti that seem to be different to many because they lack the discriminatory power to see the world as it really is. Ours is a truly compassionate God because It sends rays of this Skati to us in familiar forms! It is we, the devotees, that create the forms thorugh which the Divine Principle reveals itself. If the time comes when we can all recognize that we are one community, one people, with the same unity of purpose- to know God- then the multitude of spiritual paths will melt away. Only Brahman Itself will remain for our direct perception. Jaya Hanuman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
