"Powers Vested in God"

 God is the Creator and, as such, He wields enormous powers. Let there be no doubt as to either the 'Existence of God' or His 'Powers of Creation'. We all exist because of Him and live as long as 'He Wills'! We have no separate existence from Him, for we are His manifest forms. The Vedic doctrine is  "He is perfect and complete in all respects and whatever He has created is also perfect and complete, albeit, in a limited way! purnamadah purnamidam purnat purnamuducyate | purnasya purnam adaya purnameve avashishyate || 

Now, the powers of the God in brief are: creation, sustenance, development, dissolution, and merger. These are evident from what we see as Stars, Light, Energy, and all that!. The way the Sun is born and all the planets and their satellites formed, as also, the life forms on earth, we can infer that there is immense power in God. By the way, the concept, meaning and purport of the term 'God' are all different from what we find in our scriptures and the way the Western world sees it!. The concept is very vague in the West. It is not clear as to what they mean since they attribute the term to creation forgetting the power behind it? The concept is very clear since our scriptures are very clear as to 'Who the God' is and 'What 'His Powers Are'! Bhagavan, the God, only speaks here as in the Bhagavad=Gita. There is no doubt whatsoever!  

All the scriptures we have are the instructions given by the great visionaries, Rishis who heard the voice of God and imparted these to their trusted disciples. There is no human intelligence involved in all these. We have the Veda, the Upanishads, the epics and all that. These are directly perceived versions of God's voice! Bhagavan uvacha! So whoever learns the Vedic ways of life, yoga marga, will personally perceive and realize these.   

  The powers emanate from one single source as stated in the Rk Veda mantra such as purusha sukta, Shree sukta, nadi sukta, etc. Narayana is the Creator and His powers of creation, sustenance etc, are vested in a number of His own other manifest forms such as Vishnu, Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna, Aniruddha, etc. All the creations of different levels such as- pure (Shuddha), impure (ashuddha), and mixed (mishra) creations  are attributed to these Gods who wield His Powers. We have millions of Gods and Goddesses by different names exercising these powers and, these are seated in our nadi granthis, and nowhere else! It is these powers that run our life!
