PRE-DESITNY AND THE APPROAH TO IT THROUGH VAISHAVISM


Vishista Advaita Vedanta (http://vishistaadvaitavedanta.bravesites.com/)is based on the presumption that everything that happens in the universe is pre-ordained and pre-orchestrated, so that our kismats are all-written before we even arrive in this world. However, one cannot assume that just because it is the fundamental basis of this conception of Vedanta, that it will come true, for you individually or for humanity collectively. For Sri Krishna, the Creator, has given us the freewill to chart our own futures as we see fit. If one wishes to find out what one's pre-destiny is one has to go in search of it so as to truly truth-accommodate to Creation, the fundamental principle of Vaishnavism under the framework of this Vedanta. So one is left to do one's own karma, my friends, and it must never stop to fulfil the need and requirements of Vaishnavism, for Vaishnavism loves Creation in which one wishes to immerse oneself in Creation from constant interactions with all of the components of Nature; the birds, the bees, the rocks, the soils, the rivers, the mountains, the viruses and the rest of it, in total non-violence towards all, which is the meaning of 'ahimsa' in Vaishnavism such that even harsh words that destabilise Nature obviously is considered an unworthy act, and to go further, it is a sinful act. By stating it as a sin one is automatically paying homage to God, the Creator.

So, the question one should ask oneself is whether one wishes to chart one's own destiny or move towards a pre-destiny and if so with what principles of dharma, personal dharma or Sanatan Dharma. Essentially, it boils down to preservation of Nature that is the motivation upon which Vaishnavism-dharma is practiced.
