"J. Colaco said: Dear all,As a practising Roman Catholic and a believer in the occurence of un-explained cures /recovery from what was previously believed to be incurable ilnesses (i.e. miracles), --------- Reply: So, you have not heard of unexplained miracles happening to people of other religion, including atheists? So, if that happens to a Hindu, do they call it miracle via Christian God? (considering only Catholics believe in miracles created by God and no other source). I believe in Hinduism (not as a religion but as s system) it existed long before Jesus Christ, Jesus even advised his disciples NOT to go to India, saying they have their own belief, (refer to King James version of the bible - new testament). According to Hinduism there is a power that helps us all the time (other than the planetary Gods the Vedas talks about) this powerful help is unique to each individual, this source is called 'Ishta Devta', Hindus have not publicised this source of power that helps us, because Hinduisms is a religion that is transferred from word of mouth, (very few people read Sanskrit to get the exact picture - I know it through translated books). With this power behind us we do not need miracles, if one believes in this source and asks for help from their personal Ishta Devta, catastrophes are avoided - thus getting rid of our need for miracles. This Ishta Devta does not have the power to give you an extra limb, or give you all the gold in the world, but to help and to make our life bearable - IF ONLY WE WOULD REALISE. ED.
