Dear Chuck,

 

i too enjoyed the post and regard the Bhagavad-Gita to be

indispensible to understanding the Divine Message of Shri Mataji.

Every fresh reading of the holy scripture brings forth new meaning

and inner strength that we are all firmly on the path of the Divine.

i was especially struck by:

 

" When intelligence, mind, and faith take refuge in the Supreme,

knowledge cleanses away all misgivings, and one passes beyond the

land of rebirth. "

 

As a Sikh i was conditioned not to believe in the Devi, Jesus,

Krishna, Muhammad or the holy scriptures of other religions. The

Guru Granth Sahib was to be my only source of knowledge, faith and

obedience. (i think this conditioning applies to most, except for

Hindus.) Thus all my life i was immune to their influences because i

just shunned them and shut my mind.

 

But when my intelligence, mind, and faith took refuge in the Supreme

Shakti, knowledge cleansed away all misgivings, and i am in the

process of passing beyond the land of rebirth. She has made it

imperative that i unconditionally accept all His messengers and holy

scriptures. For years, day after day and week after week, She gave

irrefutable proof that unlike Earth all His messengers are living

together in complete harmony in the Kingdom of God. So do all

liberated souls of all races, religions and creed. Life is indeed

eternal for these souls and Heaven does exist, just as the holy

sciptures have promised to all humans. There is no death because we

are all spiritual beings in a human body. Those taking part in the

Last Judgment and Resurrection will witness themselves as the

eternal spirit in the Afterlife.

 

Such knowledge cleansed away all misgivings because She provided

proof to innocent children, not adults, to witness them. Unlike

adults, it is absolutely impossible for children to bring forth such

knowledge. Some were controversial due to my ignorance but later

found to be true. Thus i had to surrender to the teachings of Her

incarnation on Earth, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Since Shri Mataji

took birth specifically to announce the Divine Message of the Last

Judgment and Resurrection that is what all my intelligence, mind,

and faith seeks so that it can take daily refuge in the Supreme

within for the rest of my life. There is nothing to seek outside.

 

Jai Shri Mataji,

How old is Hinduism?

 

" Hinduism is one of the oldest religions of the world. It is

definitely the oldest among the living religions. The European

historians of early 20th Century grudgingly accepted the period

around 2500 B.C. as the earliest available evidence of the origin of

the Vedic religion, which is a precursor to Hinduism "

What is Hinduism?

 

" Hinduism is a living religion without one single dogma. It is

living and changing all the time, and many different stories can be

told in different ways. The images of gods are tools to help mankind

on its journey through life. There is One God of whom no image

exists: The spirit, Om, Brahman, God or whatever name you give it,

the intelligence that is in every living cell, the One.

Nine Beliefs of Hinduism Hindus believe in the divinity of the

Vedas, the world's most ancient scripture, and venerate the Agamas

as equally revealed. These primordial hymns are God's word and the

bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion which has neither

beginning nor end.

 

Hindus believe in one, all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both

immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.

 

Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of

creation, preservation and dissolution.

 

Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect by which each

individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds.

 

Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many

births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha, spiritual

knowledge and liberation from the cycle of rebirth, is attained. Not

a single soul will be eternally deprived of this destiny.

 

Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that

temple worship, rituals, sacraments as well as personal devotionals

create a communion with these devas and Gods.

 

Hindus believe that a spiritually awakened master, or satguru, is

essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal

discipline, good conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry and

meditation.

 

Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and

therefore practice ahimsa, " noninjury. "

 

Hindus believe that no particular religion teaches the only way to

salvation above all others, but that all genuine religious paths are

facets of God's Pure Love and Light, deserving tolerance and

understanding.
