namaskaram swamiji! i’m a regular viewer of the programme ‘bhagavathamrutham’ on Asianet. As you told, i started bringing a form of Krishna to my mind during chanting and surrendering to him. But my problem is, as i start concentrating on that form, all negative thoughts comes to my mind. i’d like to get rid of it. Swamiji, please advise me….

Swamiji:

Dear Lakshmi, Form of the Lord is an imagined form in the mind. God is beyond all our imaginations. God is to be felt. For that, you have to dissolve your mind into Chaithanyam in your meditation.

Respected Swamiji, I have a question regarding the famous line in the Bhagawad Gita “Yaada yaada hi dharmasya …”. My personal interpretation (please correct me if I am wrong) is that while this line explicitly says that God will appear to eradicate injustice and adharma whenever injustice and adharma take the upper hand in this world, it actually is an appeal to the inner God in oneself to actually wake up and fight injustice and adharma whenever and wherever it appears. My question is how should a person react to injustice and adharma perpetrated by his very close family members. Should he simply bear that injustice accepting it as a will of God or should he stand up and try to remove that adharmic behaviour of his family members even if that means showing disrespect to one’s elders? Thanks and Hari Om

Swamiji:

Dear Kishore, Dharma and Adharma are two sides of the same coin. You can not perfectly define what is Dharma orm Adharma. Sometimes Dharma itself becomes Adharma; when we wash our body, though it seems to be Dharma that act causes so many lives (germs) to be destroyed. So our

I read Mr. Krishnakumar’s (Mumbai) question regarding the availabilty of the Ramayana in simple Malayalam. If I may give him a suggestion, kindly tell him to buy the following book published by SISO Books: “Sampoorna Ramayana”. This is basically a translation of Ezhuthachan’s Adhyatma Ramayanam into simple Malayalam. I love that book and would recommend it to all Malayalee adorers of the great Ramayana epic.

Swamiji:

Dear Kishore, Thank you for the suggestion.

Dear Swamiji, I first want to thank you for the enlightenment you are spreading by your discourses. I have attended the session in BTM layout, Bangalore. I am 23 years old. I have been watching your programme in Asianet and also in the CDs. I have a few queries: 1. I want to start devoting some time to understand our scriptures. Where do I start? Srimad Bhagawatam or Bhagawat Gita? Can you suggest some nice books in Sanskrit and with explanations in English? 2. If God is omnipresent in the form of ‘Chithanyam’ in every being, what is the need to create so many forms of life(so many people, plants, animals etc). What is the purpose? 3. If everything in this world happens according to ‘Karma’, what is the role of HIM(God)? 4. Whether we would have re-birth or not is dependent of our ‘Karma’. Isn’t God the one who supervises all this processes of re-birth etc Thanking you once again for all the things I have learnt and will learn from you. And I am sure there are thousands of people

Swamiji:

Dear Sriram, 1.Please try to read one sloka from Bhagavad Gita and Bhagavatam everyday. Bhagavad Gita gives you clarity of philosophy and Bhagavatam is the application of that philosophy. Both ultimately lead you to the Truth which is to be experienced. 2. It is not God who creates the various

how can man concentrate on brahman or god with the full will power and joining the sathika group of people?

Posted by Rajeev on August 17, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Rajeev, God is to be experienced. To experience God, first of all you should understand that God resides in the form of Chaitanyam. Secondly, your mind should evolve and learn to dissolve totally into the Chaitanyam.

Pujya Swamiji, I just want to clear a doubt which is disturbing me since morning after my visit to a nearby Siva Temple. Every Monday early morining I go to Siva Temple. There i always lit a small vilaku behind the Siva Lingam… Today morning after lighting the lamp i came out of the Temple and suddenly the small glass bottle in which i carry oil slipped from my hand and broke into pieces… There was no oil in it as it happened after lighting the vilakku.There were many devotees inside the temple. I immediately cleared off all the glass pieces as i feared no one should step on it. One devotee told me nothing to worry as the bottle broke after lighting the lamp. But still i feel its a sign of bad omen….Today in chingam onandhi and i really felt bad because it happened on this good day. Please clear my doubt swamiji….

Swamiji:

Dear Sharada, Everyone experiences a lack of shraddha at times. Please don’t panic. Sometimes God is so merciful that He wants to inform you that certain difficulties/problems are coming up in your life and he might indicate it through such small incidents. So whenever you feel disturbed or experience some

Swamiji please guide us with your advice ? How should we parent him?What’s the best route for him in life? Thanks a lot for your advices swamiji. Pranams

Swamiji:

Dear Paru, To get the full song, please write to harisriom@gmail.com. Please don’t worry about the child. Children learn through close observation. If the parents show them the right way of life—a life of sharing, caring, love, patience, simplicity, humbleness, helping mentality and other good qualities—children will learn these values

Pranams swamiji ….I have asked many questions from you earlier and got very satisfactory answers.Thanks a lot for guiding us with your knowledge. I have some more doubts to ask. How do we learn to forgive people who have hurt us? How do we stop bad thoughts coming to our mind when we see people who are unjust , rude and crooked ,do well in life.We develop a feeling that they do not deserve good experiences.I sort of feel bad about thinking bad..but i can’t get the irritating feeing off my mind. I have time and again tried to forgive them and taken steps to heal the reationship , but they are sweet only when they need something , other times they back stab and insult very gravely. Pls advice me on how to forgive them and attain peacefulness . Is there any way they can attain peace too? They are not very God believing.I feel bad when i see them surrounded in their own hate for everybody.

Posted by Paru on August 17, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Paru, When people hurt you, think that God is testing your patience through someone. If I am a sincere devotee of the lord, I will never allow my mind to become impatient. When you patiently face these insults, the other person is defeated. Mind is the instrument which can

Respected swamiji, Please clarify my doubt on how a married woman can grow spiritually as she will be getting involved in sexual relationship with her husband which she might be doing to maintain a good married life.Kindly reply

Posted by Radhika on August 17, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Radhika, Married life is not against spiritual life. Spiritual life is the surrendering of your mind to the Supreme Self (Chaitanya) when your mind completely dissolves into the Chaitanya, the experience you enjoy is incomparable. In your family life also, all your enjoyments are experienced only when your mind

Swamiji:

Dear Mitravinda, When you consider God is different from you, you have to find time to keep appointment with Him. Otherwise, if you consider God is your own Chaitanyam, you will be constantly having His Grace and so anywhere, any time you can chant, think and feel His presence. A
