Questions and answers Prof Anil Kumar and Swami No.3 & 4 (Satyopanisad)

 

Q-3 Swami! Muslims go to a mosque every Friday for pray (namaj), and Christians

go to a Church every Sunday. Then, how it is that Hindus do not meet in a

temple like other religious groups?

 

Bhagavans: You are wrong, if you think Hindus should. They are not required to

specially meet on specific day like others. Why? Every Hindu has a pooja room

or an altar in his home particularly meant for worship. He prays there

everyday. So there is no need for him to assemble for mass prayer or to pray on

specific days like people belonging to other religions.

===============================================================

Q-4 Swami! Since God is omnipresent and omniscient do we need temples and should

we go on Pilgrimage to holy places like Shirdi, Puttaparthi, Trupati, and so on?

 

Bhagavan: This is a foolish question. You are exhibiting your ignorance and your

‘fashionable’ way of thinking which, more often than not, is perverted. There is

no relationship between what is said and what is experienced. You say that God

is everywhere. But it is merely an expression, vocal and verbal. Do you really

have strong faith that God is present everywhere? Do you have that experience

of the divinity, which is all-pervasive? You are simply speaking like a parrot.

 

I give you here a simple example. Blood circulate throughout the body of a cow.

But you can draw milk only out of the udder! You can’t squeeze the ear or twist

the tail of a cow to get its milk, can you? Therefore, the all-pervading God can

be visualized and experienced in a temple and at holy pilgrim center.
