…a reply almost a year later as I stumbled upon it only now.

Karna says “Bholenath ke alava, koyi bhi dar jayega”.

Fear of Mrityu to the Great Mrutyunjaya Swami? Ha ha ha, you must be kidding.

Aise bhayanak shatru ko saamne dekhkar svayam bhagavan bholenath aur onke dono putr Ganpathi aur Karthikey ko bhi mrityu ka bhay hoga." This is the original script mentioned in the Geeta press Gorakhpur version of the Mahabharata.

My favourite verse is the last one of Bhagavadgeeta:
Sanjay Uvacha:
“YATRA YOGESHWARAH KRISHNO YATRA PARTHO DHANURDHARAH
TATRA SHRIRVIJAYO BHOOTIRDHRUVAH NEETIRMATIRMAMA”
Whereever there is Bhagavan Krishna, the Lord of Yoga, and wherever there is Arjuna, the wielder of the Gandiva bow, goodness, victory, glory and unfailing righteousness will surely be there: such is my conviction.

As he is the prime mover of all as said above, and if he is the prime over of all, all human actions are performed by him. It does not matter where and how you pray, as the GOD is infinite, there can be infinite ways of praying to the GOD. GOD has not said that he lives only in the hearts of all creatures, and in fact in Chapter 10, Shloka 8 he says: "I am the source of all creation and everything in the world moves because of Me, knowing thus the wise ,full of devotion,constantly worship Me. Further Chapter 6, Shloka 30, the GOD says: He who sees Me ( the Universal Self) present in all beings, and all beings existing within Me, he is never lost to me , nor am I ever lost to him. Thus if GOD is recognized in his Universal Self form then there is no question as to what is inside and what is outside because all is one creation . GOD is so compassionate that in Chapter 9, Shloka 23, he says: Arjuna, even those devotees who, endowed with faith, worship other GODs (with some interested motives) worship Me alone, though with a mistaken approach. May all the creatures be motivated by GOD to learn at least a little of Bhagavadgeeta to dispell their misunderstadning about him. My Prayers and salutations to All the creatures including

Meaning - "Hi, Arjuna, God lives in the heart of every living being". This is a proof for nonexistence. Gita says God is inside and don't want to search outside. I can't understand, then for what Hell the Hindus are praying outside! The line “Iswara Sarva Bhoothanam Hrudhese Arjuna Thishtathi” is beautiful.
