I tried all means to resolve it, but couldnot. Pls advise

Swamiji:

Dear Dhanya, First of all, you should understand we have no freedom to change others’ mind (attitude). Even if you try your best to join two people, superficially they may seem to be together; but in reality they keep the same hostility and adamant nature in their mind. So, what

Dear Paru, Please send your mail to haridasoham@gmail.com. HariOm!

In Bhagavad Gita 9.23, Krishna says that those who worship other Gods are only worshipping Him – but in an AVIDHIPOORVAKAM way. What is the real meaning implied here?

Posted by Sriram on July 6, 2010

Swamiji:

It means: All Deities and Beings are the manifestation of the same Chaithanyam!

Swamiji, first of all let me appreciating you for a very CONVINCING presentation of our scriptures in the light of modern times. My question is, there are so many paths / philosophies (Advaita, Vishishtadvaita, Dvaita, Shuddhadvaita, Dvaitadvaita, Achinthya Bhedabheda and so on) each one claiming to be the genuine path. How is a spiritual seeker to know which path is the correct one? Do all paths lead to the same goal? Why do each of these paths consider the other as inferior and criticize and argue against their teachings? I am left to wonder that all these paths base their teachings on the very same Brahma Sutras, Upanishads, Gita etc!! Kindly enlighten me.

Dear Sriram, If Einsteen can discover the secret of evolution of Universe, if Newton can discover the law of gravity, if Edison can discover the light energy, why can’t you be another great inventor? Plesae understand that every mind is unique and different; you can not see a mind which

what do you mean by sthoolam & sukshmam?

Posted by Dhanya rajesh on July 3, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Dhanya, Sthoolam(gross, effect) is the manifestation of the sookshma(subtle, cause). The cause is always static but the effect is kinetic. From the stable Conscious energy all the actions (physical and mental) manifest. So,in life keep the awareness that behind all actions and thoughts, there is a constant, imminent, eternal

Posted by Sunil K M on July 3, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Sunil, Gingelly oil can purify the atmosphere from unwanted bacteria. Similarly coconut oil and ghee purify the air. Breaking a coconut symbolizes surrendering the ego and sublimating at the feet of the Lord. The ego itself will be offering to the Lord. Rice represents the Prasadam of the Lord.

Dear Swamiji, How can we improve our will power and get rid of laziness. Hari Om!

Posted by Robin on July 3, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Robin, To improve the will power you should have a disciplined, orderly life. As for laziness, if you are enthusiastic in all your actions you can get rid of laziness. Laziness comes when commitment and involvement lack. Whatever you are interested in or passionate about, you never have laziness.

Swamiji:

Dear Viji, Bhagavatham Village is a spiritually uplifting home. But unfortunately some people have misunderstood and they are discouraged by the explanation that the get from others.
