Ravindran Kesavan Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Dear Harekrishnaharsha, If you have an ista devata the choice is simple and clear. You take up your ista devata worship. If you dont have one, then one way to find out what is good for you is to seek vedic astrology. If you send your birth details, -year, month, date and time of your birth along with your place of birth, - to the vedic astrology forum some one would advise you which devata is most favourable for you. You can also consult Nadi astrology if you can find one . It is pretty accurate and with amazing degree of specificity. Nowadays even in internet such services are available. It specifies your exact Istadevada along with other life details. Regards, K.Ravindran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions......................................? Hari Govinda This is stated already in sastra, the yuga-dharma of this age is chanting the Holy Name of God. Unfortunately people can't accept it. Therefore you find so few people chanting. One might ask, why are people nowadays so unfortunate and not sincerely adopting this process of chanting Hare Krsna? "You can do it immediately, but unfortunately you’ll not do it. What can be done? There is a story, I may narrate it. One poor man was begging on the street, and Lord Śiva and Parvati was passing as ordinary man. So Parvati requested Lord Śiva that this poor man, he’s asking, he’s begging, so requested him, “Why don’t you give him something?” And Lord Śiva replied, “Even if I give, he’ll not be able to enjoy it. He’s so unfortunate.” “Oh, that we shall see. Why don’t you give?” So Lord Śiva, in a watermelon, gave him, say, one thousand dollars. “You take this watermelon.” So he thanked him, and after that he thought “What I shall do with this watermelon?” So another man came, “Sir, if you take this watermelon and give me one anna.” So he gave one anna and he took it. Because he had no good fortune to take that money within the watermelon. Our fortune is like that. Krishna is giving us the final benefit, but we are not taking care of. This is our misfortune."

A.Ravi sekhar Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 First view the God (Principles) in Shaivism : 1. God should have authority on basic 5 Elements of life(pancha Bhuthlu) i.e Earth,Air,Fire,Sky,Water (BhutNadh) 2. God should show the way to get 'Brahma Gnanam' or Moksham or Mukthi.(Jyothi Lingam at Amrnath) 3.God used to distribute the happyness and holiness(Shiva Shankar).God can destroy the Death. (Maha Mruthyunjaya). 4. God should be as Natural as posible and not show interest in artificial makeup.(MahaYogi) 5. God Should have the practical evidences of explaining all actions of life. (amotions or feelings)In our indin culture the way explained life is in terms dance which were explained in Thandavam(64 types).(Nata Raj Swami). 6. God should have the Command on Living Organisms (Pasupathi Nadh) 7. God should be Ideal .Should not have any illegal relations to any of other women.(Ardha Nareeshwar with Godess Shakthi) 8. God Should have the command on time or Fortune(Maha Kaleshwar) and can see three forms of time with his eyes (Thrayambakeshwar) 9. God Should be as Lord(Devadi Dev, MahaDev ) to all powers as all good (Godess,Vigneshwar, Karthekeyudu, Brahma,Saraswathi ,Vishnu, Lakshmi, Nagaraj ) and all evil,fortune based (Saniswar and all palnet based gods). 10.God Should follow the Equallance in case of all lives(might be Devagana,rakshasa gan or any living cretures) in case of giving Moksh or in case of punishment (Maha Rudhrudu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishadi Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Watz good? 'Support life to continue' that is the absolute truth to existence. Doing things to make yourself feel holy or of acceptable ritual to man, is self gratifying. Watz good for existence? Support life to continue! Give of yourself for life! and for comparison; Bad: Loss to the common! so when of an experience of choice; what do you choose? Good or Bad?

It's true, it's through car wreck only that we get the lesson in our journey. We get knowledge [Jyana] and we think it's enough; but I think that car wreck [Vi-jyana (Realised knowledge)] is even more important. You are right buddy.

bija Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 You are right buddy by amlesh. Give of yourself for life! by bishadi Sure is a good way to choose living. Even a rogue Hare Krsna gets gift to share in that type of vision. I like it because it shows depth of experience, and the choice to 'just do it!' Some I know don't choose that way, they would find great purpose if they did..and would begin to see the other, infact an unlimited environment. Thx Bishadi for reminding me of these things we have discovered on the journey of life. Often in the depths of an ocean, which is infact (with higher vision) an ocean of gratitude.

Bishadi Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Peace can exist if the rules of truth can be understood equally between all. Wisdom from a Friend; Skippy "Each particle that awakens contributes in service to the whole." 2008 share what is good! With compassion, with pure Love; for life!
