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.
