Dear Sri Vijisesh,
I have seen the video clippings posted in the thread ' on women marrying
....', and since I feel my reply goes well under this topic, I am posting
my reply here.
It is said in the Vedas that ' Ekam Sath vipra bahutha vadhanthi ', which
means God ( Sath ) is one, HE is known by different names. One more
quotation : ' EkoRudro na dwideeyaya dhasthu ' - There is ONE only and
no second independent of HIM .
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsar said ' Water is known in Tamil as 'jalam',
in HIndi as ' paani' and some call it as 'aqua'. But all these terms denote
the same material. Likewise the Supreme is named differently as Paramatma,
Hari, Allah or Christ. ' 'The Supreme Lord has many names and forms.
If you pray to HIM with a pure heart, HE will appear to you in the form
you desire.'
You might be familiar with Sri Vishnu Sahasranama. I quote one from it:
Viswamurthir mahaamurthir deepthamurthir amurthimaan
aneka murthi-ravyaktha: sathamurthi: sadhaana nah:
eko niaka : sva: ka: kim yaththath phadhamanuththamam.
REALITY 0r TRUTH is one and one only. IT is known by different names
and seen in different forms.
