Energy- Shapeless GOD


GOD or The Almighty has many names: Allah, Ram, Jesus and so on. Each religion has its own identity to GOD. Like for Hindus – it is Ram, for Muslims – it is Allah and for Christians – it is Jesus. 

In Hinduism God have many faces – RAMA, KRISHNA, NARASIMHA, VENKATESWARA… The world says – “GOD is one.” His being is necessary for destroying evil and spreading goodness around the world.  Then why are there many ROOPAS?  It is believed that to destroy the evilness always same ROOPA (role) is not sufficient. Based on the intensity of the evil strength God also has to change his ROOPAS. And another advantage is each ROOPA gives certain message to mankind to understand the creation.

The lord Siva is known to be power of nature. He is symbolized with ash (VIBHOODI). That’s why Agoras (Devotees of Siva) put ash to their whole body and feel that they are with God. Ash is formless and so Siva is also formless and shapeless. Here I want to write one of my experiences. Once I went to Annamalai Nagar in Chennai. There I visited the lord Shiva temple. I asked the poojari (Servant of God) to tell about CHIDAMBARA rahasyam (Secret). Then he showed a stone having fallen stars. He told that “This stone says God is shapeless – having no form and spread everywhere around us.” YES! He is changing ROOPAS and showing importance of each to mankind and shows us that he is unpredictable having many ROOPAS. i.e. no ROOPA. He is shapeless and he is energy.    

In Physics also we says the same. “Energy is neither created nor destroyed. But change from one form to another.” Like heat energy to mechanical energy (steam engine), electric energy to light and heat (electric bulb)…. Each energy has its own significance and based on the requirement it changes its form. So, energy also can’t be seen only experienced in many ROOPAS.

I believe that GOD is Energy and Energy is GOD. So, Energy is shapeless GOD.

Are we able to travel with speed of light!


To illustrate this say speed of light is 101 miles per hour. Then it is possible for a train traveling at 100 miles per hour to move practically side by side with light beam, In fact, a scientist in this train should measure the speed of light to be 1 mile per hour (101mi/h – 100 mi/h). The scientist should be able to study the internal structure of light leisurely.

According to theory of relativity by Einstein, the scientist travel at 100 miles per hour should measure speed of light as  101 miles per hour but not 1 mile per hour. Reason is like this….

According to Theory of relativity clocks on the train beat much slower than clocks on the earth (time dilation) and any measuring stick on the train shrank in length (length contraction). So the brain of the scientist on the train slows down relative to the brain of the scientist on earth. Some one from the earth feels that the scientist in the train measure the light speed as 1 mi/h, but in reality the scientist measures the velocity of light to be 101 mi/h. So it is not possible to travel with speed of light.
