GOD
|
|
|
Aditya:
|
Is there one God or many gods?
|
|
Aditi:
|
There is only one God in the entire universe.
|
|
Aditya:
|
What is the name of the God?
|
|
Aditi:
|
God has many names but these names can be
classified into two main groups, the main name and the names based on His
different attributes. His main name and the most suitable name is one and
this is AUM. He is also called by other names based on His different attributes
for example Brahama (means creator of the universe), Vishnu (means present or
spread throughout everything), Shiva (means giver of happiness), Ganesha
(means Lord or protector of all things living and non-living), Rudra (means
making the wicked weep by punishing them) and so on.
|
|
Aditya:
|
Why is AUM the most excellent name of God?
|
|
Aditi:
|
This is so because one of the meanings of AUM is
the protector of all and God is the protector of all.
|
|
Aditya:
|
Where does God reside?
|
|
Aditi:
|
God is omnipresent. This means that God is present
everywhere at the same time and at all times.
|
|
Aditya:
|
What does God do or what is His function?
|
|
Aditi:
|
There are four main functions of God. The first is
to create the universe, the second is to sustain the universe, the third is
to dissolve the universe and this cycle of creation, sustaining and
dissolution is ever on going. His fourth function is to reward or punish the
souls according to their good or sinful deeds (karma) respectively.

|
VEDAS
|
|
|
Aditya:
|
What are
the Vedas?
|
|
Aditi:
|
Vedas are
the absolute true knowledge revealed by God to mankind at the beginning of
the creation of mankind for their physical, spiritual and mental development.
This knowledge was passed down from the teacher (Guru) to their students by
word of mouth from generation to generation. Later on this knowledge was
written down by Rishi Vyas. This revelation of true knowledge by God has
taken place at the beginning of each creation and will continue to do so in
all future creations.
