Yes very well said , In sanatan dharma. We worship cow, animals , river , trees ,idols sun , movement of planets ,even our elders .. everything ..that is created by paramatma or bhagwan.. He is present in smallest of atom and largest of anything we can think of.. He is the energy who has different forms , through which we the, mankind can reach that very same energy.. In dharma worship means respecting the Parmatma/supreme for what he has given us . Without sun we cannot live , even without sand ,water, or animals it would be a impossible task for humans to survive .. The same forms are known as incarnations or extensions of bhagwan .. Many misinterprete and say we worship 300 million god by misunderstanding the term" koti " koti is a Sanskrit word which has two meanings like/ type and other stand for crore.. We often say Surya koti . It doesn't mean crores of sun ,it means like Surya (sun) .. Similarly their are 300 million types of extensions which God has taken in sanatan dharma not 300 million gods

" There is an incidence in the life of Vivekananda. When he came to Ramakrishna his name was still Narendranath - later on Ramakrishna named him Vivekananda. As Narendranath, he was extremely argumentative, an theist, a rationalist. He wanted a proof for everything. He wanted the proof of God’s existence. Ramakrishna urged him to read out a few lines from a book Ashtavakra Gita lying there. He said to him: “You are young, you are still strong - read from the book lying there. Read a little but read it aloud to me.” Vivekananda read just three or four sutras and he started shaking, every cell of his body began trembling. He said, “I cannot read on.” Ramakrishna insisted, “Go ahead and read. What harm can there be in it? How can this book hurt you? You are young, your eyes are still fresh, and I am old, it is hard for me to read. I must hear this book - read it out to me.” It is said that Vivekananda kept on reading aloud from the book - and disappeared in meditation. Why did Ramakrishna ask that he read the Ashtavakra Gita out aloud to him? Because there is no purer statement of truth. If these words penetrate you, they will start awakening your sleeping soul. These words will fill you with ecstasy. This is an inner revolution, a metamorphosis."

Excellent message Guruji. My brother is a teacher in Art of Living. He has been following Guruji for so many years. After hearing wonderful teachings from Guruji and being a part of AoL he speaks very harshly with his own family members. Some words which never should be uttered to anyone has been told to his close family members. I'm surprised to hear and see such a behaviour from someone who is a teacher from AoL. May God bless.
