The why of creation.

From the Bhakti List Archives

• May 1, 2002


Dear Bhaktas,
I have been a silent participant in the group and have
immensely benefited from all of your postings. This is
the first time I am posting a mail. I wanted to know
whether there is any scriptual context in which the
following questions have been answered. I will be
extremely grateful and thank you all in advance for
your invaluable replies:
1. Before the universe became manifested there was
nothing existing and everything was unmanifested form
and contained in god. The question that arises is "Why
did god create universe and the living beings?"
2. Because the cycle of karma, rebirth etc started
only after creation, the question of karma etc should
be non-existent before bod created universe etc.
Pardon me for my ignorance and if I have offended
anyone by these questions, I apoligise in advance.
Adiyen,
Ramanuja Dasan.
Ranganathan Sounderrajan
