Answer 2

i will give u a story which my father told to me.

Once there was a rich family who is very much cunning and they never spend a rupee. Besides them there was another poor family. The man from the poor family went to cut the trees near by the river. The axe dropped into the river. then he started crying bcoz he have to save the family only by cutting the trees. Suddenly the God came infront of the man and returned the axe. Finally God told what ever u think for the first three times it will come true. The man returned to his house. When he saw the hut, he thought that if it was like a palace it will be nice. The hut was changed as a palace. he was very happy. When he went to kitchen he found there was no grains. So he thought that if there was full of grains and cooking items then it will be nice. The next minute he found the kitchen and the store room with ful of grains and the cooking items.

when he went to his bedroom he found the old small where he used to save the money. If i have a treasure like a king with full of gold coins then it will be nice. The next minute there was morethan ten treasure boxes with full of gold coins. He was very happy. The next day morning, the man next to his saw the palace and he spoke to poor man asking how he got all these. He told him the truth.

The man from the rich family he went to same place he cutted the tree and throwed the axe in the river and started crying, The God came again and returned the axe to him and told him the same that whatever he thinks for the first three time will come true. He was very happy.

He started immediately from that place. While he was walking in the sun, he thought that if he has a car then it will be nice. He got a car he travelled in that. Suddenly the car stopped in the middle. he got irritated as it was so hot, he thought this is a waste car, and we can just burn it. The next minute the car burnt. Again he started walking in the hot sun. I am in the sun by walking, but my wife will be beautifully sitting in the AC room. Let her also burn as he suffers. When he went home he found his wife looking very ugly with burnt face. Then he realised the promises given by God.

Whatever we think it will happen. IT is purely based upon our thinking.

The Power, The will, The Man.

Answer 3

Parmatma 1 Boon : Truth.

Answer 4

I would ask for a million more boons and in those boons I'd rid the world of suffering and clear out all the questions and promote world peace.You cant clear out evil cause without evil there is no good.For without evil there will be no balance of Yin -Yang.

Answer 5

we as human beings have many wishes and desires
but its not also wise to get boons from gods
we should put human efforts and if its good deed
god will automatically help
instead leading ourselves to scientific goals
and quality living
lot of us are wasting our time in unwanted activities

for example busy in conversions of religions

i request god to give a boon or power to every human
being to follow his own religion

and not think about it much while developing scientifically
we may be able to see a new world

Answer 6

That's a very difficult question actually.

There is no god and no purpose to any life whatsoever, so if some genie were to grant me a wish, I would probably wish for all the powers of Superman at my command.

If "god" appeared before me, that means that there suddenly is a purpose to life b/c there may be an option for eternity. It's hard for me to consider what would be most important in that case. I suppose if it were the xian god, I would have to ask for entrance rights into heaven.

If it were a different god, it would depend on what the ramifications were of their existence.

EDIT: I change my answer, I would request that nobody burn in hell anymore. If a human chooses not to believe in god, let him die a true death. No more eternal punishment for anyone.

Answer 7

I'm not sure what you mean by 'boon' but my God is the One Who created heaven and earth. What I would ask is to be more like Him in every way. To love
unconditionally, to forgive unconditionally and to be all I can be in His will.

Answer 8

I would ask that it the world be left as it is. Not a single change be made. I know its harsh, but to be hones this is our mess, we have created a society in which the individual is meaningless and where children have little value. Life is cheap and disposable. If “God” cleans this mess up, then what have we learned from it.

Answer 9

Children with the freedom to live their lives as children.
I am talking about the numerous children around the world that are born or grow as orphans, differently-able or who are forced to work to feed their parents and siblings, the ones that fall into the trap of the goons who make them beg at signals et al!

I really wish if I could change something, I would change their lives!

Answer 10

I would ask to be struck dead instantaneously and taken into heaven. If God or an angel appeared to me, that would instantly eradicate all doubts on the existence of an afterlife, and thereby would eradicate all desire to remain in this life.

Answer 11

It is all depends on the spur of moment. In cricket, so many ways to play the ball. But, it all depends on the particular ball, choosing the shot, state of mind. situation etc., depends. However, as an innocent devotee of Lord Srirama, I will not ask any thing, I just leave it to HIM who knows what is to be given/required/deserved this child.
