1. Is there spirits (devil)- any scientific explanation? Almost all religions talk about this + lot of incidents being quoted. People say accidental deaths and suicide cases end with wandering spirits. Is this true? 2. Karmic Theory – At times your own interpretation says that this could be prevented, if somebody has strong mind & changes for better later. However, then in pure terms of law, he is not getting punished as per Natural law. This can lead to good people getting demotivated or other way around, bad people not worrying much now. Lot of people still advocate we suffer because of past misdeeds. You had clarified this partially in many forums. 3. You had ofen said that more than anything else, mind control and self inquiry and purity of mind most important. Does this mean that Mantras have no power or idols do not give away positive vibrations etc. This need to be further clarified. 3. Most of our Hindu Gods are always connected with Devis (spouses) but then why then celibacy (Brahmacharya) is being considered as very important for attaining salvation? Sexologists argue that better health can be maintained by enjoying – of course with one’s life partner only – this. Of course, mere longevity alone can never be taken as the basis for such things. What have you to say about this? Our Rishis were all married. The other point is suppression is not correct and this nothing but natural desire common to almost all I would like to get your answers & I closely follow most of your programme and have been benefited by your in depth knowledge and lucid clarification.

Dear Gourishankarji,
1. The revengeful minds (at the time of death) are called devils. Yes, such negative energy is there. Remember the story of Dundukari in Bhagavatham.
2. Karmic theory depends on the attitude of the mind. As much as the mind experiences desires through the body the same mind can attract the result or reaction of the same.
3. Your mind is superior to every thing else. If your mind is not tuned to the positive energy around, then what is the use of such an environment?
4. Celibacy means freedom of the mind from the lower desires. It is not suppressing the sexual desire or expressing it, but transforming it to higher energies.
Lord Krishna says in Geeta that it is not the physical but mental detachment that determines celibacy. If your constantly centered around sexual desires, even if there is no physical experience, you are not a Brahmachari.
HariOm!
