Dear Bhaskarji

Could you clarify my doubts

(1)In vedic period ,THE FORMS OF GOD ONLY FEW,but afterthat people worships a lot of IMAGES OF GOD----is it the effect of KALIYUGA

(2)Who is the ruler of Kaliyuga-is it the same person in bible/koran (SATAN)

Some people worship thamo sakthis/Adarva-It is against goodness/Atharva veda-is it related only to Thamo sakthis

Dear SHA ji,

1) Just a few years after India got its independence if you ask how many

Prime Ministers served the country, we could count it on our fingers.

Just half a century ahead if asked the same question, it would require

us a pen, and paper to note down the numerous ones.

In same way it also may be that there may have been fewer Gods in

pre-Vedic period as compared to the Vedic, and after that due to passage

of time, even the Demi-Gods were started being worshipped as God, and

also the saints or prohets or messiahs fell in that category. In Kalyuga

people are more vulnerable and much more sentimental and superstitious

than they appear outwardly. So no wonder Khatu Shyamji would be

considered as God, Raani Sati would be considered as Devi, Sai Baba

would be considered as God, and many many such other Bhaktas too which

could be kept adding by the passing century. People just look for a

support or shoulder to lean on to, nothing wrong about that, but its

clealry mentioned in the Bhagawat Gita, that whomever one worhips,

utlimately the offering goes to HIM.

Whatever images one worships ultimately these are all for concentration

and to focus and develop Love. Once that part is over for the Bhakta, he

sees God everywhere and does not need temples or images.

2) Who is the ruler of Kaliyuga is immaterial. But if one reads the

Srimad Bhagwat Purana, it is mentioned to which kind of people Kaliyuga

will not effect. The actions are laid down which cause man to invite

Kaliyuga to affect him.

Satan is the Dark side, or the negative forces , but a form of what ? A

form of this existence only. It is allowed to remain for the play of

existence to continue. I would consider it as a force and not as a Being

of Life. There is nothing like Satanic or the Devil ruling Kaliyuga.

This force rules and has control only over those who are more into

materialistic enjoyments of Life, and in course of same , falter from

the laid down paths of ethical living, and overstep. It cannot rule

everybody of this era with a single scale or measure of justice. It

cannot rule those who are highly moral in living, practise abstinence

and , into communion with the Godly and God.

Some people worship only Thamo Shaktis. Depends on the targets one

wishes to achieve. In the olden days of wars, many Kings use to worship

Tamo Shaktis before going to war. Tamo Shaktis are worshipped for

bringing in aggression desired in many avenues, desiring bounties which

may come too late naturally, for acceleration of certain realisation of

goals. Thats okay for such causes. But otherwise one should not worship,

Tamo Shaktis, Demi Gods, or the ones who are now living in the zone of

the Dead .

Atharva Veda is related only to Tamo Shaktis, I have not studied so

cannot comment. But no Vedas can be called as teaching us anything which

goes against goodness. Our approach or angle of viewing it may be wrong.

A book which teaches how to cut human bodies may seem horrendous to a

person who does not know about it, but to a knowledgable one, he could

immediately understand that it is a book on Chikitsa or a Surgeons Hand

book.

I am not available for further comments on this.

best wishes,

Bhaskar.
