D ear Swamiji,I have heard that mahamritunjaya mantra should only be chanted on empty stomach.Is it correct?

Posted by Bhavani on July 14, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Bhavani, Yes. But remember that God considers the involvement of the mind only. Be concerned about that only.

Poojya swamiji, In one of your lectures you mentioned that one is frustrated when he gets a response from others contrary to his expectations.So your advice was people are different, (vaividhyam) the way he thinks may not be the same as you think and a conflict is resulted. My teenage son wastes too much time on irrelevant matters which makes him sit almost throughout night for his studies. According to my belief a student should get a good amount of sleep. Otherwise lack of sleep will lead to so many mind and sleep related problems.On holidays he gets up at 12 0”clock in the noon.Altogether he doesn”t have a healthy food and sleep style.All these worries me.According to your advice I should not expect any change in his behaviour when I try to advise him on the above problems. What I am worried is this and lack of good habits will affect his peace in future.It is due to affection that I am advising him. So my question is whether to leave him as he wants or continue try make him

Dear Nandini, If he is obedient, then with love and care help him to come out of it. If he is not obedient create a positive atmosphere in the home so that he may be inspired by that. There are lot of people who changed with the association of good

Swamiji:

Dear Babitha, See the form of your “Ishtadevatha” in your heart – from crown to feet. Feel the presence in and through yourself and keep a smile on your face. Feel that God is always with you and do your day-to-day activities with a strong mind.

Swami Saranam Namaskarams to Swamiji, I would like to know whether ur Discourse in Asianet on BHAGHAWATHAM is available in CD form. If yes. from where could I get it. Anand Ram Ram

Swamiji:

Dear Anand, Please send a mail to harisriom@gmail.com for availing CDs.

Pranamam swamiji,it is said that a person should not have expectations of your work in Gita.But in daily life this hope and expectation is what drives energy for a person to do the work.like a student dream of getting good admission in a college and this urge to fulfil his dream is what gives him strength to burn the midnight oil and work hard to achieve results. so should be there no eye on results or targets too while doing a task?

Posted by Sasi on July 14, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Sasi, We should have targets and expectations on performance. Do not “over expect” good comments from others. Whether others appreciate or not, it should not affect our work. If it is so, your expectation is on the wrong side.

Har OM Dear Sir, We are married for 20 years and do not have ay child. We are worried of the future. we feel this is a punishment from God for our past bad karma. We are still doing bad karmas which we do not want to do but after doing only we think that we should not have done. At the time of doing (especially talking ill) we are not able to control. Then we repent on that and we are agian afraid that we will be punshed again. This gives us tension and we are not able to control ourselves and we do agian bad karmas due to tensions. We again repent. This cycle is going on. We do not find any end to it. How to come out of this? We feel due to all these bad karmas we do now we will be punsihed by God furtehr and we will be left alone in this world. Pl give us the solution how to come out of the tension/anxiety. Hari OM

Posted by Satheesh Kumar on July 14, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Satheesh Kumar, Our present culture (samskaram / accumulated impressions) or the past deeds are based on the high expectations, guilty consciousness, sorrows, worry and fear. When one carries all these negative impressions, that mind ill always fear about the actions and duties. They can not perform any Karma with

Posted by Yathish on July 13, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Yathish, When some body does not do good then it is not God that punishes him, but his mind itself! He may train his mind to escape from guilty consciousness. But in the old age this guilty consciousness makes him regret in the last days of his life over

hare krishna swamiji,in one of your discourses you had mentioned that evil comes before good.Request you to kindly explain it once again for my better understanding.

Posted by Sreeveni on July 13, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Sreeveni, Unless you develop a trust in God, your failures will appear as evil in your life. It is not the evil or fate that is disturbing our life; it is the imbalanced mind that creates all problems. A real devotee considers evil as God”s prasadm. He never judges

In Vedanta there is one ultimate Principle called Brahman. But Samkhya maintains a radical duality called Purusha and Prakriti. Is Purusha only the immanent aspect of the divine, unlike Brahman which covers both immanent and transcendent aspect of the divine? What is the nature of absolute in samkhya? Bhagavad Gita is considered as a part of the Prasthana Traya. But it also deals with samkhya principals(?). Can we say that Gita has best of both philosophies or it is just Vedanta only? In samkhya, the progression is gradually from prakriti to purusha but the Shakta tradition considers the worship of prakrit as worship of purusha only. Is the prakriti mentioned in both the concepts are one and the same?

Posted by T Vasudevan on July 10, 2009

Swamiji:

Dear Vasudevan, Sankhya philosophy is a part of Vedanta where Acharya explains about Purusha and Prakrithi. Unless we are able to transcend the limitations of the Prakrithi we can not unite our mind with Purusha. Once we are able to reach there through our regular Sadhana (pranayam, yoga, meditation and
