Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Respected Vaishnavas,

When I ponder over this question that I am going to present, I always get a 
very unsettling, unhappy, even a shocking or a jittery feeling. The question is 
this: WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF GOD?? 

Well, every "thing" should have an origin, atleast according to human 
perception. If Sriman Narayana is God, what about his origins, I mean, has he 
always been resting on the bed of Sesha?? The question thats arising in my mind 
is, shouldn't he have an origin, or something that created him?? 

Well, if you cite the First Law of Thermodynamics which states, "Energy can 
neither be created nor be destroyed", and somehow relate that energy to God, 
then I can be partially convinced. Only partially because, the human 
intelligence (ahem!!) in me will then question the origin of that energy!! 

Can I take convunce myself by saying that since I am only "human" and anything 
that's linked to being human, be it thoughts, perception, or whatever, is 
subject to being imperfect?? And therefore understanding those high issues is 
beyond the realm of my limited, imperfect intelligence??

I was thinking about this last night when I was just about to sleep, "who 
created God??", and trust me, I didn't have good sleep at all, infact I woke up 
to a nightmare.

I request all of you learned souls to kindly address my question, 

1) Philosophically

2) Logically

3) Scientifically,

or anything that best addresses the issue. 

AzhwAr EmperumanAr Jeeyar ThiruvadigalE Saranam.

Adiyen Yathindra Pravana Dasan,

Kidambi Soundararajan.
