How can God allow such tragedies?

January 6, 2005

The calamities like Tsunmami, 9/11, terrorists, earthquaks may be newer to this

generation. But the calamities are not new to the world.

For the same question " Why did god create so much suffering? " In the Gospel of

Ramakrishna it is as below:

Mr.M While quoting order of Chengiz Khan to slaugter. His assistents

accrodingly cut all imprisoned people to pieces. God saw the slaugher, didn't he

exists or not. I don't derive any good from Him.

Master: Is it possible to understand God's action and his motive? He creates, He

preserves, and destroys. Can we ever understand why he destroys? I say to the

device Mother: 'O mother, I do not need to understand. Please give me love for

Thy Lotus Feet'. The aim of human life is to attain bhakti. As for other things,

the Mother knows best. I have come to the garden to eat mangoes. What is the use

of my claculating the numbe tof trees, brances and leave? I only eat the

mangoes; I don't need to know the numbet of trees and leaves. "

Question from @ Vinay Sharma

You have certainly read the remarks of Dr. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of

Canterbury, as head

of the Church Of England, and representative of 70 million Anglicans around

the World that the existence

of God is under question following the Tsunami Disaster.

...........You and all learned custodians of our religion should express their

views on the situation arising out of such

drastic comments from a religious head of one of the largest religion. Is it

time we debate on " DOES THE GOD

EXISTS " ?
