Q156: Celestial beings?
Question 156:
“Do you believe in the existence of celestial beings? Why?”
Please reflect deeply and sincerely on the matter before answering. Please make your answer clear and brief (maximum 5 or 6 lines).
Yes I believe in its existence..Because divine mother’s abode is in me.Amma says the coolness of the breeze,the beams of the moon,the vastness of space and all things of the world are permeated with divine consciousness…
if amma says they exist, they exist. of course i know nothing but amma if amma says it, so i believe it.
Whether they exist or not is secondary. The most important is to be inspired by their qualities and try to imbibe some of them. And anyway, how can we, normal humans, know for sure with our limited physical means, if they do really exist? My answer is for both ‘devas’ (Hindu tradition) and ‘angels’ (other religions).
Yes, of course! They are all around us and here helping us!! If we open our perception, we will know so much more than we can see!! Thank you, Amma, for your own Divine being!!
No doubt. Amma is a celestial being. She carries all celestial beings within her!
I do believe in other beings.But i cannot figure out why i believe.
I feel that the celestial beings are symbolic of the various subtle energies in the universe. So, yes they do exist, because energy does exist.
i don’t believe 100% but i have had experiences that can only be explained by the existence/presence of celestial beings (or subtle beings, my wording).
I believe in EVERYTHING!!!!! Celestial Terrestrial and all In Between Beings!!!! “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” (Hamlet, I.5) Jai Ma Jai Ma!!!!!
depends how each of us think/belive/experiecned and termed them as celestial being.
For me it is something beyond Human perception ( that can be captured by human sense).. with that consideration they defintie should be lot things / being that human cannot experience. Human is very limited with all its sense. Even dogs can sense what humans cannot.
In Bhagavatam all the different worlds and the different beings inhabiting these worlds are described. Saints have also mentioned about beings in different realms. So when the scriptures and the Gurus points out to these entities, it is definitely bound to be true. However there is no point or purpose in dwelling on their existence/non-existence since we have come as human beings for a reason so better to focus on that and experience/realize what we need to do in the human plane. The knowledge of all this helps us to remain unattached to a particular form/state etc. since all these can change very quickly.
Yes. AMMA is GOD. Pranams Beloved AMMA
Yes, i do believe in Their existence, simply coz i experienced Them!
Yes i do believe in their existence because in the puranas and vedas like Bhagavatem etc there are description about different worlds and their way of worship and presiding dieties of each world.
so as the vedas of the pramanam of Hindu culture(SanatananDharma) we have to accept it. For Eg.Every department of an organisation has a departmental head who is responsible for controlling the functioning of that department.In the Hindu scriptures,the sentient beibgs that controll the functioning of various functions of the universe are said to be Thirty three crores in number and are called devadas or presiding Dieties.
The various beings all contribute to the government of the Creation; everything from natural forces like storms and earthquakes, to the elemental qualities like fire and water, to functioning of the body’s organs and processes. By receiving Ganesha’s grace, we receive the grace of all. He removes any potential obstacles and enables our endeavors to succeed.

Yes I believe in celestial beings. My AMMA is a celestial being as the whole universe is merged in her. She is not in every particle but every particle is in her.. Aum Amriteshwari Namay.
If Amma says there are celestial beings then there must be. Jai Ma!
Modern science shows there is a Visible spectrum as well as infrared and Ultraviolet rays. SO is sound, where only a part of the whole existence, our senses can perceive. In the scale of creation as we see humans with six senses as well as microbes, we can infer that there should be beings with superhuman or celesrtial nature. As Lalitha Sahasranama says “Aah Brahma Keeta Jananyai Namah” – the Divine Mother is the one who created everything from a small worm to Brahman – inferring the humans are in the mid-range and the celestial beings are between us the humans and the Brahman.
Yes, it is a fact, we are celestial beings!
Yes, we, as a species, are just one of a kind in a universal smorasbord of infinite possibilies. I can’t even begin to imagine all the varieties in the universes. Amma can. Jai Ma!
Just as in day time we cann’t percieve that stars in the sky so also the celestial beings are not visible to the mortal physical eyes. These celestial beings can be seen, talked to, even live in a celestial body as we advance in spritual life through Yoga.
The entire Universe then becomes our living home, not just the planet earth.
