Where is God? I want to see God.Evan------7-10-05Dear Gurudeva,I have a question. How did God make me?Evan Meyer===========================================================================Answers===========================================================================My Evan,Please accept my blessings.All glories to Srila Prabhupada.I have received your nice letters dated May 25, 2005 and July 10, 2005.In you May 25 letter you asked me, “Why

can’t I see God? Where is God? Iwant to see God.”The answer is that you can see God at every minute because Krishna says inthe Bhagavad-gita that He is the light of the sun and the moon. This meansthat whenever you are seeing the sunlight or the moonlight you are seeingGod. When we say the name Krishna we are talking about God. Just like youhave a name, Evan, so God also has a name. His name is Krishna.In your July 10, 2005 letter you have asked how God made you.The answer is that God can make you just by the power of His mind. Youexist as a living being because Krishna wants you to exist. Nothing else isrequired. His desire is all that’s required. He wants you to exist so thatHe can give you His love and you can give Him your love.Hoping this meets you in the best of health and in a cheerful mood,Your eternal well-wisher,Sankarshan Das
