MUMBAI, INDIA, January 27, 2002: The following are excerpts from an interview with India’s nightingale of song, Lata Mangeshkar, on her thoughts of God. “Nothing in this world can happen without God’s mercy, that’s my firm belief. I was raised in a very religious family and follow the precepts of Hinduism. Though I love my religion, I respect all religions as much. I visit and derive tremendous peace from all places of worship. I pray every night before sleeping and I have my own puja (shrine) room at home. Besides reciting formal prayers, I keep having informal conversations with God, more of telling than asking. If somebody has hurt me, been rude to me or wronged me, I confide in God as I would to a friend or my mother. But I never wish that any harm should befall that person because I believe in karma. If somebody wrongs me, I take it in my stride thinking I must have wronged that person in my past life….” The interview can be read in its entirety at source above.
