 Dear Mani,

 I want to share my views on this. Forgive or Correct me if iam wrong.

 Lord is said to be dharma rakshakan. He has personally committed the same in bhagawat gita.  Keeping this let me share my view.

 Lord has created or given all the facilities with well defined reaction rules.. I.e he has set all the niyathis and he is standing behind as niyantha. So he need not come to punish for each and every breach of these codes. It is something like well written bug-free operating system wherein he has given facilties like create, store ,Design, Delete etc. It is upto the user to choose which one he wants to utilize. When the basic kernel of the Operating system is at risk, then he gets into the role as a Programmer and fixes the BUG.

  We can get TV as a boon. It is upto us to see Ramayanam or Blue film on that. So our sankalpam decides our karma. When our sankalpam is adharmic, then we do adharmic karma and then we face the reaction. He uses the situation as vyaajam to execute the reaction. Like he used for vaali in ramayanam. If interested we can discuss vaali vatham in this forum in detail.

 Regards,

 AdiyEn satagOpa daasan.

Dear Members,

The following question was sent to me. Does anyone
have any insights?

Hi Mani,

I think that god punishes cos this is what we read in epics ... he does 
punish ravana in a way. But that aside, what i want to know is, is the 
factor that death by Lord dictated by Karma? Meaning that if a perosns karma 
is such that he will have a natural death then Lord cannot kill him ? or can 
perumAL over ride that. Perumals use of the instrument of karma - is it 
according to His wish or is that dictated by the jIvatma's karma meaning 
perumal will be able to kill/punish a person only if jIvAtma's karma has 
something saying that hes destined to die in the hands of the Lord.

WE do have so many puraNaas where rakshasas ask for boons and perumAL finds 
a loop hole and kills them - so now what does these things mean - can 
someone who gives boon, like Lord Brahma can also over ride karma or is it 
such that persons karma dictates that these things are destined to happen ? 
Becasue as far as i understand perumAL can liberate you from karma etc but 
he wasnt the one who started karma etc ... & karma is beginingless ...
