Hari om , Swamiji , I heard you talk about ,suggesting people to take nirguna upasana daily.Dont you think it will mislead people & lead them to darkness making them good for nothing in life .dont you think one needs to purify their mind through japa,kirtanor service before entering into dhyanaor nirguna upasana .Moreover Krishna in gita has himself assured equal benefits for saguna as well as nirguna upasana.

Dear Krishnan,
A pole vault jumper runs with the pole, jumps up with a strong grip on the pole, and the moment he reaches his maximum height, he leaves or lets go of the pole!
Similarly, a seeker starts with the form of the Lord (Sagunopasana) and attains the Formless (Nirgunopasana).
For a beginner, mind can not focus on the FORMLESS.
So, Sagunopasana (with Pooja and meditating on the form of the Lord) is recommended.
When his mind reaches that stage, he can start Nirgunopasana (on the formless) to attain God Realization, the ultimate goal!
(Refer Bhagavat Gita : Chapter 12 – Bhakti Yoga).
