[divine-nature] Are there animal Gods too?

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Rajagopalan garu,

Namaste!

I would like to add a few lines to what you have said below.

The Present human kingdom has come to its stage in the process of evolution, by receiving the light or Chaitanya from the Solar God, the Suryantarvarthi, the Central Sun and got elevated through the stages of Mineral Kingdom, Vegetable Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and finally the Human Kingdom. That is how getting into Human kingdom is a great boon offeed by God in the process of evolution. God gives the "awareness, discretionery power" to human beings at this stage only, not to the lower kingdoms. The other three kingdoms have no power of discretion by themselves, and hence Nature protects them and guides them.

Let me stop here, as an addendum to what is said already, and not a new artivle.

with regards, Brother KBKM.

Dear Jagannath Chatterjee ji,

 

The subject virtually inspired me to part with the following info:

 

Are there Animal Gods too? A deep insight into vedanta will reveal that

like humans, Animals are also a form of God..

Not surprisingly Man(Woman) is a super animal !!

 

A short story provides evidence..

 

Once a yogi was performing worship by chanting slokas.

For several times a day..for long hours..His pet Dog

was hearing this ..with keen interest..& longed to

have the ability to speak so that the dog can also recite the

Lords name.. In the next birth the Dog was born as a scholar &

wrote several verses on the praise of the God supreme..

 

a quote from vedanta..

While the concept of oneness may be intellectually appealing, it is nevertheless

difficult to put into practice.It's no hardship to feel oneness with great and noble

beings or those we already love. It's also not too much of a stretch to experience

a sense of unity with the trees, the ocean, and the sky. But most of us balk at

experiencing oneness with the cockroach or the rat—let alone the obnoxious co-worker

whom we barely tolerate. Yet this is precisely where we need to apply Vedanta's teachings

and realize that all these manifold aspects of creation are united in and through divinity.

The Self that is within me, the Atman, is the same Self that is within you—no matter whether

the "you" in question is a saint, a murderer, a cat, a fly, a tree, or that irritating driver at the

four-way stop.
