What is God?
Mita: God is….the warmest pair of hands that carry me through my toughest moments. God has the snuggliest, strongest shoulder I’ve ever known. God’s love is the cosiest and sweetest warmth of a fireplace on a chilly night. able. God is a feeling, a knowing, a calling, a crying, a laugh that echoes through space and time. God can be described by a million and one and still remain an indescribable God.

God or the Big Bang (or both)?
Mita: Both. According to the Big Bang theory, the universe expanded from an extremely dense and hot state and continues to expand today. My 2 bits is that the energy required for that extremely dense and hot source state emanated from none other than God the Source or Divine Intelligence.

God or Darwin (or both)?
Mita: Both. Darwin was a child of God. His purpose as a Soul in this lifetime was to add depth to our knowledge as human beings.

God or Darfur? (How can Darfur happen if there is God?)
Mita: As I learn about Darfur, I learn that it is a test for humanity. Somewhere we learn
to be humbler, more compassionate and unified in our voices.

Who is God’s God?
Mita: All of our souls. We all contain sparks of God and God contains sparks of all of us.

Will the real God please stand up? (Why do we have so many religions?)
Mita: God is a personal journey. What may be real to me may be totally unreal to another. And vice versa. Every path is different in terms of colour, rituals and accents. All religions speak the language of Love and Truth.

Is this just a big lab and are we just guinea pigs and God just a researcher?
Mita: This is funny! Actually it is worse than your scenario. We’re all performing our parts on some cable channel and God and his Divine friends have the remote control to switch channels from all our soap operas/comedies/horror stories etc.

Does unexplained phenomena = God?
Mita: Yes. God cannot be defined perfectly by this mortal. God cannot be explained tangibly and completely cohesively by this mortal. To explain God, I have to understand God more. And for that I need more time to meditate and other such mortally unqualified excuses.
