Sir Isaac Newton said :

“I do not know what may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been like a boy playing by the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

Have you heard theStory of how Sir Isaac Newton proved God’sexistence to his Atheistic friend?

THE UNSEEN CAN BE KNOWN FROM THE SEEN

Although we may not have seen the personality of God with our eyes directly, there are innumerable evidences to prove God’s existence from the things

that we see around us.

“I DON’T BELIEVE IN

GOD BECAUSE I CAN’T

SEE HIM”

In the following slides,

Learn to see God

based on your

practical experience of

things around you

Some unanswered questions !!!

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE ?

WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE ?

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS

Scientists are trying to develop Supercomputers

HumanBrain

The Most Sophisticated Computer in the Universe

The human brain can store

more information than all the

libraries in the world.

-Dr Richard Restak, MD Author, The Brain

The human brain is made of a trilliion brain cells.

…and each one of theseis more powerfuland sophisticated

than most computers around the planet today.

- Dr. Tony BuzonBritish Psychologist, educator

& author.

Likewise, we see wonderful things created

by man.

Any Creation Implies a Creator

Shouldn’t this universe have a super intelligent

creator

?

God created fruits especially for human beings

What do the best of the

scientists feel ?

“There is a perfect brain behind all the

natural physical laws.”

Albert Einstein

“If you think strongly enough,

you will be forced by science to

believe in God.”

Lord Kelvin

“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could

only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and

powerful Being…

Newton

…This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all, and on account of His dominion He is to be called

Lord God, Universal Ruler.”

Newton

Look at the groundreality

“Beautiful”

“Not so beautiful”

“Handsome”

“Ugly”

“Stinking rich!”

“Poverty-stricken”

One gets medical education andbecomes a M.D. DOCTOR.

Another lifts heavyweights and spends his entire life as aCoolie.

One child is bornwith a silver spoon andhas a nice car rideright from childhood.

Another child is born to parentswho have no money to move out of theirpoverty-stricken single-room shack!

WHO DECIDES ?

We choose• A job

• A wife or a husband

• The type of car

• An apartment

And many more things

We don’t choose

• Our parents

• Our beauty

• Our intelligence

WHO CHOOSES ?AND ON

WHAT BASIS ?

IS IT BY CHANCE?

We see order and systematic arrangement in the universe…

If traffic policeman controls the traffic of vehicles,

Who controls the traffic of revolving planets?

…..IN A PERFECT TRAFFIC CONTROL MECHANISM

Energy emitted by sun / sec is greater than the amount of energy human species has consumed throughout its entire history

TREMENDOUS ENERGY

The cost of lighting a stadium for one whole night during a cricket match is several lakh rupees.Now consider lighting an entire state or country for one week or one month. This can give us an idea how much we would have to spend if there were no sun!

Behind the tremendous energy, there must be an Energetic Person, who is the possessor of all energies.

LAWS IMPLY A LAW-MAKER

We have absolutely no experience of any object or system coming about by chance.

Why and how then can we assume that the entire universe with all its harmony, order and

structured organisation came about by chance ?

MILLION DOLLAR QUESTIONS

1) WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE ?

2) WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS

COMPLICATED UNIVERSE ?

Two fundamental Questions

HAVE YOU SEEN A COMPLICATED MACHINE WHICH CAME BY CHANCE

AND HAS NO PURPOSE ?

Any machine, computer, building, even a pen or pencil has a maker or designer. Logically the far

more complex and awesome universe must have a super-intelligent designer and producer.

THE UNSEEN IS PROVEN BY THE SEEN

“NO ONE IS SUPERIOR TO ME, O ARJUNA. EVERYTHING RESTS UPON ME, AS PEARLS ARE

STRUNG ON A NECKLACE.”

“mattah parataram nanyat kincit asti dhananjayamayi sarvam idam protam sutre mani-gana iva”

How can our birth, beauty, intelligence… alone be random events ?

Isn’t there a law that governs these ?

Every bogie of a train moves as it is pulled by the previous one. Similarly there is a immediate cause,

remote cause and ultimate cause of everything that we see around us.

And……….. Engine is the ultimate cause of the movement

of the entire train. Similarly God is the ultimate causeof this complex Cosmic machine of Universe with itsmagnificent arrangements of law, order and harmony.

janmadyasya yatah

“God is the original source andcause of everything.”

UNIVERSAL GOVERNMENT

ORAL QUIZ

What Lessons did you learn by making the comparison between the Government of your country and the Universal Government ?

?

1.The universe we are living in is owned and controlled by the Supreme Lord.

2.Behind every Government, there is a Prime Minister . Behind the universe, there is God, the Supreme Controller.

3.Break Governmental laws; Be punished. Break Laws of God; Invite suffering.

Lessons from the Universal Government exercise

4. Disobedience to God --> Sin ---> SufferingPollution from industries --> No fresh air for breathingEffluents from industries --> Water pollutionUsing lands for producing tobacco --> Scarcity of foodKilling millions of cows --> earth quakes (Einstein painwave

theory)Increase of industries--> Global warming, snowcaps meltingMeat industry --> scarcity of waterDestroying forests --> concrete jungle --> DiseasesModern Rat Race --> Eat junk food --> Stress and Heart prob.

5.We are all originally servants of God. When we try to become a controller, enjoyer and proprietor independent of God, then we suffer.

(eg) a child wanting to leave the safe hands of parents and cross the busy road alone.

Lessons from the Universal Government exercise

Did everything start from a ‘Big bang’ or a ‘Big brain’ ?

According to the ‘big bang’ theory, everything began from ‘a point of infinite temperature, infinite density, infinitesimal size, a point that is physically unrealisable, mathematically indescribable, beyond all conceptions of space and time.’

“It should be emphasized that no theory of the origin of solar system has as yet won general acceptance. All involve highly improbableassumptions.”- Encyclopaedia Britannica

First step in finding out solutionis to recognize the Master of this

Universal Government - GODPappa, How can a physically unrealisable, mathe-matically unverifiable theory be accepted as ascientific theory? Is it not blind faith to believeeverything came from a ‘big bang’? Is it not a goodjoke to think ‘a point’ to be the cause of all causes?

Yes, my son. God is the supreme causeof all causes. It is by God’s control therains are showering, sun is rising, seasonsare changing, crops are growing. All these don’t happen from a mere bang.Even behind a bomb blast there is a person.

1

Dr.Albert Einstein said,“I believe in God – who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of the Universe. I believe that intelligence is manifested throughout all Nature. The basics of scientific work is the conviction that the world is an ordered and comprehensible entity and not a thing of Chance. When I sit here and watch the mighty ocean, I can imagine the treasures hidden below the bed of the sea, when I see the clear blue sky above, I feel sky is the limit. When I cast my eyes around I see the wonders and beauties of Nature. Science must learn to live in Harmony with all these magnificent gifts of God to Humanity."

PRIME DUTY OF SCIENTISTS

USE ONE’S INTELLIGENCE TO APPRECIATE THE INCONCEIVABLE BRAIN OF THE LORD

TO GLORIFY THE MYSTERIES OF THE LORD’S CREATION AND ENERGY

TO CREATE WORLDWIDE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS

TO UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF LORD’S CREATION

KNOW GOD

KNOW PEACE

….wishes you a happy lifein harmony with Nature and God,

the Supreme without whose sanctionnot a blade of grass can move.

THANK YOU
