[Shri Anil Antony asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, Please give Your responses to the following questions. At Your Divine Lotus Feet-anil.]
1. Do countries have horoscopes? If so, what is the horoscope of India?
Swami replied:- Taurus or Vrushabha is the Raasi for India.
2. When a country attacks another country, does the principle of 'Revenge is Mine' apply? Should the other country respond or not?
Swami replied:- The sentence “Revenge is Mine” is applicable to an individual or country, only when that individual or country is incapable of retorting the attack from another individual or country respectively. It is always better to avoid fights as far as possible and settle the issues through oral discussions especially in view of nuclear weapons possessed by every country. Even a bad country is having nuclear weapons like Ashvatthaama possessing the Brahmaastra weapon! Of course, God will take care of everything finally.
3. Can we expect direct involvement of God in human form in the India and Pakistan war?
[In the Mahabharata war, God Krishna was personally present on the battlefield to give directions to the Pandavas to fight against the bad Kauravas. In the India and Pakistan war, can we expect such direct personal involvement of God in human form?]
Swami replied:- God can even initiate a person through His will and such an initiated person is also a type of incarnation only. This concept is called “Daivaṃ mānuṣarūpeṇa”, which means that God works by entering into a human form or even by initiating a human being.
4. What is the solution for the India and Pakistan conflict?
Swami replied:- Finally, God will give His verdict. Why this anxiety before entering the theatre to see the cinema?
5. Will God intervene to stop and protect the other country when a country tries to destroy the other country using nuclear weapons?
Swami replied:- If a country is full of sins and can’t be reformed even by God, the opponent country will use the nuclear weapons to destroy that worst country.
