I think that no one dies before his/her time but recently someone was saying that when people die in accidents, their souls wander around until the time they are really supposed to die, then they move on. To me, such cases are when the souls are troubled and still attached to the material plane...
I don't focus much on Deity worship, however I feel particularly close to Hanuman. I feel his love and his energy very strongly. However, I've recently been having dreams of Shiva. When I spoke to a gentleman who is sort of psychic, he reads palms etc. He told me that the Deities send us...

:flower2: Namaste is a greeting which is equivalent to saying; I bow to that Divinity within you; the same Divinity that is within me. It is another way of saying, We are all equal. We are paying respect to the love, light and peace within others.
I often see people laughing at others...
Okay, us Hindus believe in one God called by different names and the Deities are physical representations of that one God.
God as our Mother is Adi Shakti but there are many Devis who represent her powers.
Im always amazed by Kali. She is often misinterpreted. The blood on her body...
This is similar to Divine Angrogyne's thread about Christ and Krishna but this thread looks at the future. Christ and Krishna (in the physical forms) came in the past.
