Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Answer to athri Chellamani's question: Dear Devotees, With the blessings of Spiritual Master and Maha Vishnu, I try to explain the doubt. 1). Actually there is not only earth that sustain jiva atmas or living entities, but many many planets some below the earth's level,some above the earth's level and some on the same level.According to Sastras, there are 14 such levels of planetary systems each having many many planets.All these comprise one universe and from Srimad Bhagavatam we understand that there are so many universes each having its own Bhrama(a ordinary jiva atma can attain the status of Brahma in a cycle) and expansions of Vishnu and Rudra(they are paramatma expansions). Hence an increase of population in one of the planets may be balanced in some other one(which may be even in some other universe) by the Supreme Lord's arrangement.He is infinetely unknowable and simply his material energy manifests all these lokas and put the jivas in right place according to their mentality and deeds. 2)If we do good karma in past birth we may have the nature inclination to do the good,yet according to our free will,we may always choose to go towards the negative side.Generally when sensual joy as an effect of good karma comes,our senses must be controlled and we must be very careful.Sukriva the devotee of Lord Rama engaged in intoxication and illicit after the ing of Vali his brother by Lord Rama(and finally he surrendered).This is due to the sudden material that becomes the master of the mind. Otherwise according to your logic,a sinner by his vasana must always do the sin and pious man always the pious activities.No,it is not like that.We have the rights to resist even strong Vasanas and go in the opposite direction. 3)You are right.Hitler,Saddam are the great s and must dwell in lower species of lives for Yugas together.(If someone is fortunately ed by the Lord himself, he immediately attains liberation. eg.Kamsa,Paundraga Vasudev(who claimed falsely that he is an Avatar)etc.) 4)God is always greater than your mathematical model as he is the Supreme Intelligent to put all the souls that have similar karmas in one place.Nothing is illogic in his kingdom,yet he is beyond our logic and mind.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 My question to Mr. Krishna moorthy is how can we be so sure of everything that are in our Sastras, and also are we interpreting them correctly? We talk about Sugriva, but is not Ramayan just an epic? How much do we really know about what happened in the Ramayan? These are ignorant questions but please give me a chance to learn more. Hope you do not mind my questions, I am not trying to be difficult but just need more knowledge. Thanks."k.s.krishna moorthy" <ksksat27 wrote: Answer to athri Chellamani's question:Dear Devotees,With the blessings of Spiritual Master and MahaVishnu,I try to explain the doubt.1).
