Questions. 

1.Does Karma work similarly for humans, and animals and plants? 

2.Does hell and heaven exist? 

3.How does karma and Dharma works 


These 3 questions derived from this comment below. Thanks to Siva Rao. 


'It doesn't king or cockroaches, if one fails the karma replies... No hell nor heaven ‼️ just karma and dharma ‼️‼️‼️' 



Answers. 

1.No. Karma works differently to humans compared to animals and plants. 

Humans collect both merit and demerit of karma while animals and plants were just settling the karmic debt account in order to go for the next birth. Humans have a sixth sense/ thinking ability to decide good and bad, thus they choose what they want. While animals and plants do what's prescribed for them in genetics, in another way, the atmas of animals and plants in their ‘jail’ terms.


2.Heavens and Hells do exist as per scriptures from Garuda Purana (21), Srimad Bhagavatam (28) to Siva Purana. Numbers may vary. Only those experienced the truth were able to describe these heavens ( 7 upper lokas), and hells (7 lower lokas). Sages did experience. Don't forget that the universe is macro cosmic and our body is micro cosmic, the reflection of the same, thus sages experiencing from within. 

And definitely not as in Abrahamics. They believe they will settle there permanently at one entry.


But in Hinduism, when an atma leaves the body, it will undergo the judgement, papa and punya karma will destine the mind/ manas. Based on the mind condition when reaching Yamaloka, the next destination will be set.  

Shvetashvatara Upanishad 5.7 mentioned about three paths after death, that are Devayana (path of Devas),  Pitryana (path of fathers/human) and Tiryanmarga (path of the lowest birth, animals and plants).

The destination might be the hells for more tormention until settle certain accounts, or to heavens to enjoy the fruits for certain periods of time in Deva lokas etc., or reborn as animals or plants to pay certain karmic debts, or born as human to continue the journey to upgrade the atma's karmic account, or reach Moksha liberated from Samsara cycles. 


3.All the above, karmic account works based on the Dharma. Dharma means any action that's reaping punya/good karma only, in other words do the right thing, stay within righteousness. Any action which is accumulating bad karma is adharma. 


The elders did mention it.

"Tannaku minjiyathu dharmamum dhanamum than"... But unfortunately some people changed to."Tannaku minjiyathu than dharmamum dhanamum" .


What is left/remains to us when we leave the body is the Dharma we did, the good karmic actions, including praying, helping,  and the dhana / contributions to Brahm (praying), Devas (yagnas), Pitrus (tarpanam/ shradha, pindas), Bhutas (nature,plants, animals)  and Manusyas (humans).  Only the punya/dharma will walk with you to help you to get across the journey to next birth.

Shiva Linga Dan Konsep Tuhan

Shiva Linga Dan Konsep Tuhan.  Dalam Konteks Hindu. Simbol /Linga (Sanskrit    लिङ्ग ) Linga ialah SIMBOL sempurna mewakili Tuhan Mahaesa (Veda-Parabrahman, Mazhab Siva- Mahesan) yang tiada rupa hanya satu. Perkataan Linga ialah ganbungan daripada perkataan LING + GA, Ling bermaksud dissolusi/ mahapralaya /kiamat, manakala Ga bermaksud penciptaan (creation), maka maksud sebenar ialah Tuhan maha berkuasa yang melakukan tugas penciptaan dan disolusi, Setiap benda datang daripadaNya dan akan kembali kepadaNya. Mahadeva Siva merupakan tonggak utama untuk mencapai Moksha (Mazhab Siva). Linga juga mewakili Trimurti utama (Rudra/ Siva, Vishnu dan Brahma). Kitab Rujukan Autoriti untuk Mazhab Siva. Rujukan utama  seharusnya daripada 4 Veda dan 28 Saiva Agama yang diturunkan sendiri oleh Mahadeva Siva, Maka sebarang klaim seharusnya daripada Veda atau Agama. Disamping ada 18 Mahapurana termasuk Siva Purana, Linga Purana dll. Namun Purana bukan autoriti rujukan dan ia lebih kepada sejarah la

Sembah Patung? Agama Apa Itu?

Sembah Patung? Ada orang ingat atau andaikan bahawa orang Hindu  sembah patung (berhala) kerana dia NAMPAK  orang Hindu sembah di hadapan patung tanpa sedar atau memahami hakikat sebenar.  Persoalan,  Saya juga LIHAT  ada orang sembah dihadapan bangunan, ADAKAH ORANG ITU SEMBAH BANGUNAN ITU? TENTUNYA TIDAK.  Kerana saya sebagai seorang Hindu ada kewarasan minda untuk memahami kebenaran TUHAN dan memahami konsep Tuhan dalam keadaan Nirguna dan Sarguna.  Tetapi ada orang yang DANGKAL ilmu ingat orang Hindu sembah batu. Perlu diingatkan disini, ORANG ITU PERNAH MENGAKU SEMBAH BATU MASA KECIL KERANA KEBODOHAN SENDIRI. MALANGNYA MASIH KEKAL BODOH walaupun mendabik sudah jadi pandai.  <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication. com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <script>  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({  google_ad_client: "ca-pub-2960278825814307",  enable_page_level_ads: true }); Orang Hindu sembah Tuhan dal

Arulattam/Trance and Saiva Siddhantam

 Arulattam/ Trance and Saiva Siddhantam Meaning of Trance Trance is actually when a bhakta reaches the height of Bhakti (paravasam), after went through vratham, pujas, meditations, etc., the mind is fully engrossed with the deity one prays,  the atma will be connected with the Paramporul within one’s body. The maya veil is removed for a moment, thus the sparks of the ‘projected’/believed deity/paramporul will manifest in the physical body of the person. (The deity projected is based to past karmic account actually). That is the reason one in trance will cry, yell, dance, etc because the joy of the temporary union with the deity. The ‘projected’/believed appearance is based on what deity one prays. If one projected Kaliaman, the Kaliamman will manifest, if Muneeswarar then Muneeswarar will be manifested. Most bhaktas don’t go for Murugan, Sivan or Ganapathy because it is considered difficult or seen as a higher deity. But if one really projected, these deities also will manifest (karmic
