  • Why did God create the Universe and Human Beings?


    It is said that Lord Krishna is the supreme personality of Godhead…one question arises that y did he create this universe and human

    beings…finally everyone is destroyed and there is the cycle of birth and death…it is true that we r here to follow our karma…but what is

    the purpose of creating it…if in the beginning there was only lord krishna then y did he create the universe … is he just playing with

    human beings…..first he gives advise to everyone to follow the Gita but at the same time he creates maya or inferior energy that

    deludes everyone…is this considered to b a testing phase for human beings?…if yes than wat is the need of doing all these

    things….finally everything is going back to him…also the 1st person created by him did not have any knowledge about anything…lord

    krishna had given him the nature…so he was acting under the direction of the lord….then wat is difference between karma and destiny?

    …if nyone can give suggestions abt this ..it will b appreciated.

    Jaisairam.

    The mind that judges not others ever remains tension-free.

  • Om sairam!

    Only the creator can say the reason for the creation of Universe! But if one observes Universe there's an orderly pattern in everything. For e.g. For a Sun which gives light in the day there's a moon for the night. And many more. It's clear he didn't create chaos or intend to create Chaos (the world in our times) at the time of creation. God's smartest creation was the human brain which could reason and think. It's a powerful tool, few used it for welfare and it's mostly misused like hatred, jealously, selfishness.
    When the discerning nature of the brain abates, Negative Karma begins to pile up. So We (Our aatmas – Soul) are responsible for getting struck in the cycle of births and deaths. God has no intentions to entangle a soul in this cycle.


    Maya is a cajoling force. It was provided for people who want to live a perfect life in compliance with Karma Yoga or for people who want rewards which confine to Maya. God doesn't test anyone. Maya is an obstructing force only when one identifies himself/herself with the body. When people identify themselves with their soul they realize that Soul can be pampered only when it reaches the Divine feet. So the problem lies with ones vision and not God. In a spiritual quest Maya tests ones endurance in initial stages so the onus is on the devotee to exert to reach a higher state and not ask God for a thorn less path – world without Maya! Besides you appreciate shade only when you walk a few miles in hot sun.


    Karma is changeable. Destiny is a probable plan of ones life at the time of birth tailored from ones past karma and their present combination of three gunas. They work hand in glove. The only difference between them is Karma is an exerted effort and destiny is the result of such effort. A man who enjoys the fruits of his efforts gets enlocked in worldly life, a man who dedicates his destiny to God reaches him. When the mind (intellect) understands Karma is changeable this probable plan a la Destiny changes for the good. Otherwise the initial probable plan (destiny) becomes the fixed plan in ones life.




    Past and Future exist in the Mind. Present is the Only Reality. Mind loves habitual waiting to deny the present. Meditation helps one merge with Nature. One no longer feels Separate from the Whole. It is easy to live with the whole than against it.
    Regular Meditation suppresses unwanted thoughts and strengthens the Mind. A less noisy mind is so near to God.

    Subhasrini ji, Sai Ram!

    Please do parayana of Devi Bhagavatham.

    It clarifies several doubts on spiritual matters including the reason for this creation and how the creation has began and how it was developed.

    It also gives details of

    1. Brahma Tattva
    2. Vishnu Tattva and
    3. The tattva of Shiva

    besides dealing with several other minute details.

    Saidasan Thammudu!

    I can't help but appreciating you for the following enlightening words of yours.

    Infact this is what many Astrologers failed to understand.

    Baba! thank you very much for blessing me with the association of these great souls.

    Baba bless us all
    Baba be with us all

    Jai Sai Ram
