Why Does God Allow Suffering? | Swami Sarvapriyananda Answers a Medical Student's Painful Question

Why is there so much pain, sorrow, and suffering in the world? If God is all-powerful and loving, why doesn't He stop it? In this profound discussion, Swami Sarvapriyananda addresses a deeply personal email from Saptarshi, a 19-year-old medical student who witnesses death and suffering daily in the hospital. He asks the timeless question: Why did Brahman create a world of Maya filled with suffering? Is God's "Leela" (divine play) cruel? Or is the idea of God itself a myth? Swamiji explores over 23 philosophical and theological answers to the "problem of evil," from soul-making theories and free will to the law of Karma. He discusses responses from Judaism, Christianity, and Hinduism, including Sri Ramakrishna's perspective. But he ultimately points to the direct, experiential answer from Advaita Vedanta that transcends all intellectual theories. This is not just a philosophical discussion—it's a guide to transcending suffering itself.
