Hello Gopal varna

 

Hope you are having a good time in California, since no one answered your

question I will make an attempt,

 

 

>>1) What is explanation for this kind of suffering due to nature's fury

as per our " sasthra " ? What about those thousands of young and old who

got crushed and died? <<

 

Shastra-s don't talk about EQ/drought & other natural calamities, how ever

according to kala-chakra there are 3 types of pralaya 1) upa-pralaya 2)

madyama pralaya 3) mahapralaya. I guess all natural calamities falls under

the first category upa-pralaya. The reason i have no idea. Shastra-s only

talk about how to reach Lord-hari in the path of Jnana, bhakti & viragya. I

know finally i didn't anser ur question!!

Namaskara,

 

It may not be good drag " sAstra " to earthquake. But as seeker of

true knowledge, how we need to consider these things?.

 

Do we need to consider as the part of Shri Hari's game and simply keep

quiet? Do we continue with our discussions, discourses while the next

village/city is burning with fire?

 

I think in olden days people used to perform special pooja/homa for

the welfare of world i.e. loka-kalyana. Don't we have any such things

as a part of our duty or sadhana?

 

Please pardon me if this is not appropriate to discuss in this

forum.

Hello Gopal!!

Intresting !! if you had a chance to listen to Bhagavatam there is one

instance where during the discourse someone asked shuka muni who is the real

devotee?, for that shuka muni replied that they will come to know soon

during the discourse. It so happened during the discourse there was a fire

in that village and people who gathered for the discourse started leaving to

put-off the fire. Only parikshith maharaj didn't bother and continued to

listen to the discourse. So Shuka muni through is yogic power set the fire

off, later to the gathering he will tell parikshith maharaj is the real

devotee.

 

But I am not sure weather it is applicable to kaliyug???
