From that link:

Quote:

The foundation is currently conducting a research focused on the teachings of the late Guru who delved into the science related to the soul and its cosmic relation with human life and experiences.
'We are also conducting research on the influence of spirituality in medicament and help to improvise and standardize the quality of Ayurveda and Siddha medicines. We have two registered patents and several research projects are in the pipeline and at various levels,' added Njanatapsi.

I don't see where they have a goal of trying to prove there is a god.

What do u kno abt the teachings of Guru??Itz all about the relation between God and humans.Everything's about spirituality without endorsing any of the religion that exist today.i.e. just spiritual not religious.I believe spirituality comes along with the concept of God.Am i wrong??

Motto of Santhigiri is
"WORD IS TRUTH. TRUTH IS GURU. GURU IS GOD"

Cho, people have been trying to prove God for centuries. No one can. this won't either
but you do have some proofs already but are a bit closeminded to look at them, Go to my signature and read, not for just 5 minutes. At that site you can get on the forum and ask those questions from people who are very educated, there are also areas for christians,science, former christians, etc You might find an answer or a partial answer there. Who knows in time you might understand why i think the way I do.

"who is God? where is God?"

The answers to those two questions depend upon what religious faith you accept as valid -- and there are many to choose from!

IMHO

1. God created/caused our spirits (entities) along with the universe to come into being. God established the purpose for it all but doesn't involve Its self in the continuance or activities of same.

2. "Sin" is man's concept and is utilized by men to control other men. The human caused "negative events" that take place are circumstances that are considered by us in the non-life experience between incarnations as we evaluate the successes and failures we made as we attempted to achieve our goals during our incarnations.

3. The Bible (and similar religious books) is a necessary concoction created by man to control man and his environment. It was necessary because mankind, in its infancy, did not have the medical and technological knowledge to conquer and understand its environment so had to be controlled by superstitions which were found to save lives and further the survivability of the various human societies.

Why did God make the world?

IMHO, God diversified Itself into Its many parts and charged those parts (entities) to go forth and acquire knowledge and experience and to then return to the Oneness of God.

The entities caused the creation of the universe and everything therein and individually choose to inhabit the physical bodies.

The entities may incarnate/reincarnate many times before gravitating back into the Oneness of God.

SPECULATIONS

Speculation: 1 Is God necessary?

Yes!

There has to be a Source from which the "big bang" sprang forth Creating the universe.

Speculation: 2 What is God?

God is the ultimate Cause.

God is the Creative Entity, Energy or Force from which all is derived.

Speculation: 3 Where is God?

God is in a state of awareness that is outside the universe.

God has morphed part of Itself into those entities (spirits) that inhabit the universe and the physical bodies within.

Speculation: 4 Why is God?

God Is because God Is.

God is eternal, existing independent of time or the universe.

Speculation: 5 Is God concerned?

No!

God is not concerned with the daily functioning of the universe or matters within it. That is our domain and subject to our whim.

Speculation: 6 What are we?

We are the spirits (entities) of God.

God morphed into Us and we continue to create according to God's purpose.

Our physical bodies are simply the means we use to experience and function in the physical dimension.

Speculation: 7 Why are we?

We are for the purpose of gaining knowledge and experience.

In the end, we gravitate back into the Oneness of God allowing for the fulfillment of God.

Speculation: 8 Evolution

Evolution is simply a tool of Creation.

The entities often influence the direction of evolution along desired paths.

From my chosen path i stray,
Yet my God ne'er turns away;
For i have learned -- and understand,
That where God is -- is where i am!

Ethmer, the need to believe in God is a. psychological one. You say God is necessary but should he be necessary if he does not exist? Think about it

For me - I guess the question would be - Who is God? I beleive God is our Heveanly Father who loves each of us.

Can he be a huge amount of energy? I don't think so, but I truly don't know.

But if I answered your first question as you asked it....What is God...

God is love
