Swamiji, I am a curios seeker of spiritual knowledge. I have a lot of questions to ask you.I think this column wont be sufficient for that. Is there any other contact info so that i could write in more details of my doubts? Swamiji,what is the right way to meditate?.formless meditation centered on heart or with form?I had once an abhyasi of sriramachandra mission in singapore. Right now i am not going for that.Is it OK if i continue their mode of formless (nirguna)meditation ?Or if we assume a form what form we should assume.Infact nobody have seen God or Krishna. Its jus only the pictures we have seen.Please advice the right method Thanks you so much repected swamiji.

Dear Swamiji, I wanted to ask a question about the 4 kinds of people who seek things from God, Aarthan, Artharthi, Jignasu and Gyani. In ones prayers then is it not necessary to ask for things like happiness and instead to learn to understand that you don’t need to pray for it as god is always around and would bless you with happiness and strength anyway? Thank you Mandy

Posted by Mandy Dinesan on November 21, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Mandy, These are the various stages of devotion that a devotee passes through! One needs to be at least in the first phase to start with. Then as his maturity level increases, he will become a Jnani ultimately! Bhagavan says that the only Bhavam one should not have towards

Swamiji, I live in Dallas and have been listening to your lectures on CD’s and on youtube for a while now. They give me immense strength and help me feel closer to the divine. Recently I started listening to the Bhagvatham for the second time and I have been trying to understand why Krishna, during the Mahabharath yudh asked Yudhishtr to say” Ashwathama is dead” and then weaken Dronacharya? Secondly, why did Krishna ask Bheem to hit Duryodhan on his thigh? Isn’t that going against the rules. I know that I am a mere mortal and god’s ways are mysterios but if you have an explanation I would love to hear it! Thank you

Swamiji:

Dear Anu, All these doubts occur when we look at things from the periphery. If you go back to the beginning of the stories, you will realize that they all had invited the right kind of reactions to their past actions. No one can escape from the results of their

Hari Om Pranamam Swamiji Recently the auspicious day of Skanda Shashti was observed. It was noted that several devotees take kavadis and have darshan in Lord Muruga temples.Apart from Thai pooyam days,it was also seen that many of the devotees who carry kavadi had their cheeks pierced with ‘shoolam’.It seems that they do such an action believing that it takes them closer to Bhagavan and obtain His blessings. Another kind of action by devotees is ‘parava kavadi’, ‘thookam’ (this word is usually used in South Kerala and I hope Swamiji is aware of such a worship). In this,it is seen that metal hooks are pierced on several parts of the body and the devotee hangs up on his skin,high in the air,as a bird. My humble question to Swamiji is, ‘Is such type of devotion,some kind of extreme step which looks barbarious, needed to please Bhagavan?’ Is there any relevance to this act with Hindu mythology? Is it not high time that we Hindus,let the devotees know that these actions are not necessary

Swamiji:

Dear Balachandranji, I really appreciate your concern. These kinds of extreme expressions of devotion can induce a NO-MIND state in a devotee temporarily. They may mistake it for the Grace of the Lord too. But, it can not be maintained for long. Only regular Sadhana and Satsang can uplift our

Dear Biniya, You need to transform your emotional weakness into devotional strength through Sadhana! Chant Nama Japam regularly, early in the morning. See the beautiful form of Lord Krishna in your mind and tell yourself: “Oh Lord! When YOU are with me, how can I be alone in life? I

Pranamam Swamiji, I have been inspired a lot by your teachings…Though I hear a lot of things which are not pleasant to hear, I do not respond, I tell to myself that this is a test that God is giving you…I feel a lot relaxed thinking in such a way…Thanks a lot swamiji for your teachings..You are doing a great deed for the entire society. Swamiji, this time I had taken fasting on the day of Guruvayur ekadasi…This is for the first time that I am taking such a fasting. I feel so nice after that. Swamiji, Could you please tell me what is the importance of fasting on ekadasi day?

Posted by Divya on November 20, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Divya, Fasting purifies your body and mind! We give importance to certain days (and celebrate) as it is the nature of the mind to divert it’s attention to some thing special. For a person whose sole focus is in the Lord every moment is special and the whole life
