Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Smt Geetha, Humble pranams to you. With respect to your "questioning" nature I would like to quote Einstein:"the interesting thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing". With respect to your wanting evidence I would like to quote Betrand Russell (Mathematician,logician,philosopher and social critic)"science(goes by evidence and facts)is what you know and philosphy is what you do not know". Can you be more specific about what kind of evidences you want? If one has to realise "antharyAmi", one has to do an eight-fold yOga practice which is not feasible for 99.99999999999999999999999999% (you can add as many 9's as you want). If the anya devathas like brahma,shiva,indra etc themselves fall back to the cycle of samsAra (Cf BG 8.16),then how they can save you and me. Assume that I'm about to drown in water and I'm screaming for help. One can save me only if one knows swimming. Vedas are revelations/shruthi. It is a theory of knowledge and to quote Einstein "It is the theory that decides what can be observed". In bhagavad gita(BG 10.2),KrShNa says that even the great sages(well versed in vedas)and demi-gods do not know the origin of His birth(transcendental appearance). More after seeing your reply.
