All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances...” wrote William Shakespeare, one of the greatest dramatists of all time. Shakespeare saw the world as a large theatre. If all the world is indeed a stage, and life is a play, and all of us are mere actors, then this view leads to some interesting corollaries. Who is the author and the director of this play? Obviously, God.

A personal reflektion on God by Jaspal Bhatti. ”I believe in the existence of God and I am God-fearing. The universe has originated due to some super power.

I have never asked Him for anything, nor have I ever taken a mannat . ”

A personal reflection on God by Deepti Naval. ”My concept of God is slightly unconventional. I understand God as a formless power or a cluster of concentrated energy from which all life originates. But I would still love to explore my concept of God as I'm not completely convinced that what I've envisaged is actually the correct form of God.”

Affectionately, he offered goat milk to the visitor. The guru left after some time. His blessings created a great spiritual armour around the farmer, unbeknownst to him.

India needs rejuvenation. This rejuvenation will come only with the revival of our great Indian ideals. India needs shakti. For this, extensive re-building needs to be initiated for the country to acquire physical, mental and spiritual strength.

For creating this stupendous energy, India needs a new spiritual awakening. A new direction. The inspiration for such an awakening could come from a prophet of peace, for instance, someone like Guru Nanak, who proclaimed: "Love the saints of every faith, Put away the pride! The essence of religion is Humility, service, and sympathy.  Not fine clothes, Not the yogi'sgarb and ashes, Not the blowing of horn, Not the shaven head, Not long prayers...".

A personal reflection on God by Tom Alter. ”It is rather difficult to explain how I feel about God. If at all I see God in anything, it is in nature and love between human beings. I was brought up in a very religious atmosphere. My father was a priest. In fact, folks from my father and mother's side were priests. As a child, I used to pray in school, but it was never done with conviction. As I grew up, I realised that I didn't believe in the concept of one god.”

A personal reflection on God by Sunil Dutt. ”I believe that all religions teach us to love. But if we look around us, what do we see? We see communal problems retarding the progress of our country. They are taking us back. India is a land, which has embraced so many different religions, and we should be proud that different religions have been co-existing for ages. But what do we do? We fight in the name of religion. I believe that faith in God makes us humble and if you are God-fearing, you cannot harm anyone. It's shocking how one can kill another person in the name of religion.”

A personal reflection on God by Poonam Dhillon. ”I believe in a universal God. It's a belief I've held since childhood. My mother was very God-fearing and indirectly, I imbibed a lot from her. We practised the Sikh religion, which basically preaches that there is only one God. Though I haven't read the Granth Sahib which contains the teachings of our ten gurus, in totality, I've heard it being read out at home a number of times on various occasions.”

A personal reflection on God by Yana Gupta. ”I don't believe in God. Why do I need to believe in something I feel so strong about? When you feel angry, you don't say: "I believe I'm angry.'' When you are in love, you don't say: "I believe I'm in love.'' You know you are in love, because the feeling is so strong, that you can hardly think of anything else than the person you love. ”

A personal reflection on God by Sapna Mukherjee. ”I am a staunch devotee of Sathya Sai Baba. Ever since I was a small girl, I remember I would sing bhajan s in front of him in Delhi.

They even call me Kalyug ki Meera.”
