hari om swamii, how are you?praying for your good health

Posted by Vishnu on February 7, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Vishnu, I am doing well; thank you! HariOm!

Pranam Swamiji, I am a regular viewer of your Bhagavathamrutham on Asianet at 5.45 am. It inspires me a lot. My question is, is it possible to realize God after self-realization. I am a great admirer of Poonthanam Nambhoothiri and Melpathur. Their stories touched a lot.

Swamiji:

Dear Satish, God realization means Self realization! When you realize that your are not your mortal body, but the manifestation of the Omnipresent Chaithanyam you realize that your Self and God are the same!

Dear Swamiji, Thanks a lot for your insightful thought – GOD is not out, He is within us… The body is mortal, but the thoughts are not… coz it is shared by us in many many ways. The energy, that you are referring to, which is omnipresent and guiding us, even if we do not chant his name; if it is within us – is our SELF CONFIDENCE right?? If I achieve something extraordinary in life, or if I end up doing something extremely terrible, why should I be blaming something sitting within me to be the reason? It is me, my actions which in absolute degrees of gravity have come back to me. In a way, don’t you think by holding someone other than your SELF (god) responsible for your actions, good or bad, we are demeaning our self respect? Yes, we should be selfless but we cannot lie to ourselves that “dear mind, the results are not due to your efforts but due to god’s”; sorry if I am sounding a bit demeaning but I am not able to accept it. I am a student of Psychology too, and according t

Swamiji:

Dear Madhuri, All the good and bad actions are born out of the good and bad attitudes. Attitudes are decided by the culture inculcated in you. Ravana became Ravana because of the culture he inculcated. Though born in the same family, Vibheeshana inculcated a divine culture. So, he became like

When you say mind ( manassu) do you mean the soul? Is God (Eeswara) who is inside us the Jeevathma or our soul? I get confused by the relation between the two concepts . Kindly guide me

Posted by Girija on February 4, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Girija, The mind is a bundle of various thoughts constituted with three GUNAS (Sathwik, Rajasik, Thamasik). When you are lazy, your mind is dominated with Thamo Guna; when it is agitated it is Rajasik; when it is peaceful it is Sathwik. All these different thoughts exist in the mind

Hari om Swamiji I had written to you earlier. I have a doubt. Why some people are born lucky and some others as handicapped, mentally retarded etc Is the previous birth concept fair one. Why should I pay a price for my actions in some other birth, of which I dont know of?

Posted by Sreejith, palakkad on February 4, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Sreejith, The mind is the cause for birth and all actions and reactions. Please remember the story of Ramayanam. When Seetha hurt Lakshmana miunderstanding his good intentions, she never expected that it would lead to a tragedy. Later, after Ravana was killed, in front of every one Lord Rama

Swamiji I am still waiting for the answer of my earlier question. I daily watch Asianet, but I am unable to concentrate on positive thinking. Long time back I had the positive thinking and I had the luck and happiness, but for the last 18 years I am suffering a lot

Posted by P. Rama Kurup on February 4, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Rama Kurup, When you think about your own problems, you are in a whirlpool. Mind has got many dimensions and potentialities. At least, divert your attention to some Sadhana (Pranayam, Japam etc), so that the mind will gather some positive energy. That will help you to sort out your

Hari Om Pranam Swamiji If I am not wrong every human being in this universe will have some specified duty to fulfill and untill and unless he fulfill his duty he may alive ?

Posted by P.Rama Kurup on February 4, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Rama Kurup, There are two duties every human being has to fulfill – for body and mind! The duty of the body is to care and protect itself and the parents who gave the body, spouse, children and relatives ( all those who care and love the body), job,

Hari Om In your replies in this site you are saying Radha is only a story character and in your discourse in Asianet you have mentioned Rama/ Krishna like avatars are not real. Then why we pray them as an idol? If re-birth is happening why population is getting increased in all living beings rather than maintain the same level. That means do we understand new souls are generating for birth. What control is with God in this aspect? Please reply.

Posted by Jayanarayanan on February 4, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Jayanarayan, Rama is not an imaginery character. It is a misunderstanding. We should consider Rama in three ways: 1. as the Chaithanyam in us. 2. as the Guru who recarnated in this Earth to teach us the values and purpose of life. 3. to raise to the spiritual awakening,

Swami can anyone live without mind ? What is there beyond mind?

Posted by Narayanan kutty on February 2, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Narayanan Kutty, It seems that you are thinking from a body consciousness; that means, a body living without mind? Not possible at all!

Hari Om.. I have no questions to ask. All questions Disappeared from me. I had so many doubts about myself. Through Bhagavatham you have cleared all of my doubts. Thank you so much.

Posted by Narayanan kutty on February 2, 2010

Swamiji:

Dear Narayanan Kutty, When your mind is strong, you do not have doubts. HariOm!
