Swamiji:

Dear Viji, It is not possible to chant with your lips all the time; chant mentally! Even if it is not possible, do not bother about it; it will happen automatically. When you plant a seed, you have to wait patiently till it sprouts. Similarly, when you start spiritual practices,

Hari om. Dear Swamiji, I’m doing B.tech,the course period(4yrs) is over but still i have a little more back papers.The subjects are little tough.Some genius students in our class got passed very easily.they were always bright and smart. They do not listen in the class.They only study the day before the exam day.and they I wanted to pass my degree.and a good job.Because i don’t wanted to become a “bhaaram” to others.I don’t have any other wishes.

Dear Rajiv, You have created 2 blocks, which cause obstructions to your development. First one is, you are degrading yourself, which will never help, and also can destroy your entire life. Second one is, your imagination about others’ efficiency; that developed a jealousy and hatredness in people around you, so

Pranamam Guruji, thanks for answering to my previous questions and that enlightened me a lot. I want to practice meditation and I have started to concentrate on my ishtadevatha (bhadrakali} but I cannot concentrate and remember the roopam of the deity. Please tell me how to start meditation. Guruji please help me. Pranamam again.

Swamiji:

Dear Radhakrishnan, Slowly and steadily look at the form with your eyes, and then slowly train the mind to visualize the form. Train the mind to surrender at the feet of your Ishtadevatha and you can slowly transcend to the Chaithanyam which is formless.

Hari Om, Why hinduism had different purnas like, Vishnu puranam, Devi Bhagavatham, Shiva Puranam etc.. In each purana the main deity is recognised and the main power or Param Brahma. This creates confusion to the worshippers. Why this happened. Because of this only I think Hindus are easly getting converted to Islam and Christanity. The Bhakta of Vishnu is not ready to accept Devi or Shiva or Ganesha or… as the main power. Same with other Gods Bhaktas also. How we can light this confused minds to over come this and understand there is only one power who is having control of this Universe? Param Brahma is Male or Female? Respected Swamiji please clear my doubts. Jayanarayanan

Posted by Jayanarayanan.G on September 30, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Jayanarayanan, In order to avoid this confusion, Veda Vyasa insisted the study of BHAGAVATHAM. He says “Chidyanthe Sarva Samsaraya” That is, all your duties will vanish. Bhagavath purana addresses all these issues in a scientific manner. Parabrahma is beyond gender.

Please descrbe and educate me the process, methodology and practce of meditation. How meditation is to be performed?

Posted by D.A.Subramanian on September 30, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Subramanian, Meditation is not something to be performed; it should be happened and happening. Performance is related to the ego; meditation happens only when ego surrenders.

Hari Om swamiji, Thankyou for answering my previous question. swamiji, what is the importance of navarathri, some people say, we should not sleep on the day before navarathri, and what all we should do on the vijayadashmi day. Thanks & Best Regards

Posted by Mitravinda on September 30, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Mitravinda, During Navarathri, we worship Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi. Durga represents our physical strength; Lakshmi our mental equipoise; Saraswathi our discriminating intelligence (Kriya, Iccha and Jnana shakthi). So we should make use of this body for our livelihood, whatever sensual pleasures determined by the social setup, social service and

Poojya Swamiji, According to Bhagavatam Lord Vishnu is the first Avatar in the world and from Vishnu ,Lord Brahma and Lord Siva appeared.But when we read Devi Bhagavatam,Devi is the first Avatar.Which is correct ?Sometimes all these confuses me.Please advice.

Posted by Hemalekha on September 30, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Hemalekha, When you refer to AVATHAR, study scientifically; then you will understand that AVATHAR is the manifestation of divinity coming in different forms to teach us the value of spirituality and destroy the evil in our minds. So, first AVATHAR is always “Matsyam” because all the living beings evolve

respected swamiji, can i do sahasranama and lighten my diya during my period days

Swamiji:

Dear Viji, Your impurity of the body has nothing to do with the thoughts, but when you consider yourself impure that feeling makes you impure mentally. But if you divert your thoughts towards God, no impurity can ever touch you.

My husband died in Gurgaon Haryana suddenly due to heart attack.It seems People who die in Gurushetra Bhoomi ( U.P.& suburbe) will get Moksha and they will not born again ( REBIRTH) Is their any evidence in Bhaghavatham ?

Posted by Dr.V.Chandrika on September 29, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Chandrika, It is not the place where one dies decides the liberation (Moksha) of the individual. According to our Vedas and Puranas complete dissolving of the mind into its source is called Chaithanya. All our mis-understanding can be removed through proper study of scriptures.

How can we say that the milk is a vegetarian food?

Posted by P.K.Jayan on September 29, 2009
