How significant is the ability to desire? 04:33 Q5. Why would God put the living entities into a world filled with misery & suffering, against their will? 05:48 Q6.

How to know God's will (or prerane) from our own (desires)? 18:23 Q15. If the living entity has free will, how can an astrologer predict the entity's fate? Isn't astrology a farce? 21:14 Q16.

When the Lord already knows the nature or svabhava of the living entity, why subject them to the miseries of this world to expose their true nature? He could directly send the living entities to their intended destination of heaven or hell. Right?
With all due respect, It would have been nice if the examples he gives are from vedas or shashtras or puranas instead of lowkika examples which raises lots of logcal/illogical questions and sometimes less relevant.
In Protestantism and Islam, there is the concept of pre-destination. That is, the God has already decided what each creature should do, whether a creature eventually goes to heaven or hell. In those sects, there is no concept of Moksha. It seems that in Dwaita Vedanta, to a limited extent, predestination applies. The apparent difference is that man is free not to do an evil act. That he commits such acts his doership. But I recall reading that Madhav classifies some creatures as permanently destined to hell? Probably, Tattvasankhyana itself states this permanent hell for some creatures. Can this be explained please?
Interesting points. The concept of predestination / fate does deserve a video of its own. In this video, it's touched upon briefly with a question on free-will. We will go into this in depth in a separate video on Jeeva Traividya to do justice to the subject. Currently, assimilating questions on Jeeva Traividya & a part 2 of this video (Asvatantra Kartrutva).
Pranams. How come all your videos begin with obnoxious advertisements, particularly of non vegetarian food items. This is a deliberate attempt at stopping the video from being watched or disturb the mental frame of your viewers. Request you speak with you Tube
Namaste. We have absolutely no control over what TH-cam ads will show up. Actually, we have deliberately not monetized any of our videos - meaning that we have held our preference with TH-cam to not have any ads. But, ultimately it's TH-cam that decides on it - whether to show ads and what kind of ads to show. Currently, the only solution to stay ad-free is to buy TH-cam Premium.
26:21 in this question, answer is not satisfactory. God is basically expressing our personality. It may have all kinds of activities. God will make sure all those are expressed as it is. Why will God gets affected by those actions?
Question 3 not convinced. The fact is ours is a forced birth without any control on the soul's part. Especially the dvaita idea of some souls being doomed to hell for eternity. Where is the evolution angle for a soul then? Also unless a criminal knows what he is paying (living in this hell) for, how will the penance happen? This is then a dictator-like setup, just believe you sinned in some previous births, no we won't tell you how-what-why, just come, suffer, die, repeat till infinity/mahapralaya. Something is broken in the system. Bhakti and belief notwithstanding. Don't want to offend anyone, but just sharing thoughts.

🙏acharyarige.How to know whether a deed jeeva has done, is paramatmana prerepane or not if it's phala is a long term one.
Gayathri Devi MH Very good point. I will make sure we have this question in the next discussion with acharyaru.
Is any subsequent video of this session made ? If so, please share the link.
Not yet. No plans as of now.
26:21 in this question, answer is not satisfactory. God is basically expressing our personality. It may have all kinds of activities. God will make sure all those are expressed as it is. Why will God gets affected by those actions?
As you rightly said, Acharya too concludes that God isn't affected by reactions while expressing the jeevas' personalities as the supreme independent.
Question 3 not convinced. The fact is ours is a forced birth without any control on the soul's part. Especially the dvaita idea of some souls being doomed to hell for eternity. Where is the evolution angle for a soul then? Also unless a criminal knows what he is paying (living in this hell) for, how will the penance happen? This is then a dictator-like setup, just believe you sinned in some previous births, no we won't tell you how-what-why, just come, suffer, die, repeat till infinity/mahapralaya.
