    In the beginning God created the Universe… WRONG, LIES !!

    God did not create anything distinct from Himself/Herself. God BECAME the creation. The creator is not separate from the creation. Hence, along with He or Her, God is also addressed as ‘It’, the ‘Brahman’.

    Art of Living | Friday, Nov 23,2012, 19:59 IST .

    Nothing is wrong with Bal Thackeray. He lived a complete life and with all dignity said goodbye at 86.
