RE:WHAT IS GOD? KNOW TRUTH ABOUT GOD

This is a very misleading philosophy that you are propagating - that everybody and everything is God. The Vedic scriptures do not state this anywhere. On the contrary there is reference to both atma and Paramatma in the scriptures. Paramatma is the supreme eternal soul, whereas all other souls are eternal entities, but subordinate to the Paramatma. How can God not realize He is God? That means God is in ignorance. Is this a joke? But the scriptures affirm that God is sat-chit-ananada vigraha - he is form which is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. God's very nature is that He is full of knowledge and He is fully conscious of everything in the creation - directly or indirectly through His energies. If God can be covered by illusion or Maya then Maya is greater than God, but this is a contradiction. The Vishnu Purana confirms that maya or avidya is one of the energies of God, and works under His direction. So there is no question of God being under control of maya.
This is a very dangerous philosophy which has given rise to many atheists in India and all
over the world. Rather the eternal duty or the sanatana dharma of the eternal atma or soul
is to serve the Supreme Soul or Paramatma as is confirmed by the great acharyas like
Ramanujacharya and Madhvacharya.

DEAR Rajmohan KRUPP: Think in below way:

BODY-MIND(individaul counciousness)-SOUL at an individual level.
MATERIAL CREATION(Entire universe including everything that is material)-UNIVERSAL MIND(OR COUNCIOUSNESS)-PARAMATMAN

THIS PARAMATMAN IS EVER EXISTENT, ALL PERVADING WITH NO BEGINNING, NO END AND NO MIDDLE AS WAS AFFIRMED BY LORD KRISHNA IS BHAGAVAD GEETHA.

HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND IT.
