Once upon a time, Narad Muni, a great saint, went to Vishnu, the supreme lord and asked him who is his dearest devotee. Vishnu asked Narad to take a vessel fill it with oil, complete the rotation of the earth and make sure that no oil drips off. So Narad completed the whole rotation of the earth and came back with the vessel to Vishnu. Now Vishna enquired how many times did he prayed to lord after he got the task. To this Narad said, that the work was given by the supreme and so he was concentrating on the task. Then Vishnu said that the dearest devotee to him is the farmer. He completes his task on time; and before going to work and after coming from work prays to lord. His work is also given by the lord to him, and he is serving the society by producing food grains. But even while he is busy, he does not forget to take the name of the lord. Taking the name of the lord, gives him inspiration to work better and improve each day, and so he is dearest to the lord.

Where is god?
I am just a novice blogger, and trying to explain what I have learnt. Please comment and help me improve if you find any mistake.
Where is God?
God is everywhere. You need proper eyes to see god. It is even not possible to see ultraviolet radiation with naked eyes, that does not mean it does not exist.
Lets start from your body.
Point to your hand. This is your hand.
Point to your leg. This is your leg.
Point to your body. This is your body.
Now point to yourself Please point to yourself. Dear please point to yourself and not your body. You are not this body. You only reside in this body. So who are you?
You are the spirit soul called 'atma'.
Since everything is made up of energy, lets consider 'atma' as some kind of energy. Now where did this energy come from. There has to some creative force of this superior energy, which cannot be created by man. This creative force is called is God. Atma is the part and parcel of God.
God has many names, and he is not bound to any particular religion, caste or creed. But there is only one supreme god. There are also many demigods who also have many majestic powers to perform their duties. But we are all part and parcel of one supreme, who is the cause of all causes.
Now the question is who is the supreme?
I have my own conclusion and you may disagree. But I would like to explain my point.
Jesus and Allah say they are messenger of God.
Every demigod including Shiva worships Krishna and they never say that they are the supreme.
Krishna himself says in Bhagavad-gita (14.27)
sasvatasya ca dharmasya
sukhasyaikantikasya ca"
And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is the constitutional position of ultimate happiness, and which is immortal, imperishable and eternal.
"ishvaraha parama krishnaha
sac-chid-ananda-vigraha
anadir adi govindaha
sarva-karana-karanam"
