Dear swamiji, In your lecture swamiji said that the feeling of happiness, depression and tension etc…. are different forms of thoughts. Every body is saying that meditation is no thoughts stage.We feel the inner consious silence while doing meditation.The feeling and understanding of real” i” or consiousness. isn’t that a form of thought? please explain?

Swamiji:

No thought is needed to experience your existence as pure “I”consciousness. When you relate it with any thing else, it is thought. HariOm!

Pranamam Swamiji, Swamiji, I have started sharing the wisdom that you gave me to my friends of my age. Some have ignored it but some are showing keen interest in it.I told them about the importance of devotion in life. A few of my have started viewing this site. Swamiji, I don’t know how, today’s teens of my age(19-22) have a huge exposure towards everything. So they are involving in many bad karma’s and watching useless things. I would ensure you that I would be sharing the wisdom to as many I could get. There is no love and respect in this world. Swamiji, as you are doing a great service to everyone I would be helping you to share the light of wisdom to everyone. Once more you are always thankful for giving me this precious knowledge. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!!

Swamiji:

I really appreciate your initiative. You are uplifting yourself and others too. Our country needs youngsters like you to illuminate all corners of society. Take up small service projects with friends along with studies and discover the true joy of living a purposeful life. My blessings are with you, HariOm!

Namashkar Swamiji, your clarifications on meditation was very informative and well understood. I have few doubts; 1. In a normal human being’s life span, how many thoughts (or samskaras) one could create? (I need answer for this because I could not grasp the explanation You have given for ”muppaththu mukkodi devathas’. 2. While proceeding towards conscious state (i.e. “Prayana kale’) we leave the materialistic existance (i.e. unconcious state of this world) behind us and while coming back to this unconscious state again, the world we reach will not be the same. Our reentry would be in a new world. (You explained this way – that everything is impermanent and whatever existed in one moment will not be there next moment). What does it mean? Each such PRAYAAN will enhance our spiritual status? Kindly explain further. 3. It was also said that meditation is the only way which will nullify samskaras. In such case, is there any possibility of avoiding creation of new samskaras in our present existance. How? 4. I understood that meditation clears already existing samskaras. Even after stopping influence of Samskaras, still it appears in our memories (in which case, it cannot have any influence on us). Is it called ‘dakta beej’- fried seeds state? Is there any explanation given in Srimadh Bhagawat Geeta regarding shielding of our present existence from the force which push us to create new samskaras? 5. I want to know whether my understanding on all these are correct: Kaaran Shareer, Heart, Mind, Desires, Ego, Emotions, Self & Atma a. Kaaran Shareer happened to take place due the result of our earlier live’s samskaras b. Heart is the entity within us which is bound by Satva, Thamo & Rajo gunas. c. Mind is the creation of Prakruti i.e. nature & Mind’s existence is possible as far as we are feeding it with our thoughts. Mind’s death takes place when we switch off the thinking process. Mind tries always to keep our thinking process alive so that it can survive (survival instinct). d. Desires are the creation of our heart which are reflecting in mind as thoughts e. Ego is the state of mind which tend to misunderstand everything and keep the ”purush’ in ignorance. f. Emotions: When desires mix with thinking power, emotions originates at physical level as action g. Self is mentioned as Purush who attired the Karan Shareer due to his earlier samskaras and he is the reservoir of concealed knowledge and also ignorance h. Atma – The naked soul behind the three veils, viz. physical body, sensory body and causal body. Atma gnana is realization of our own self, i.e. Consciousness. Consciousness has the potential to manifest itself (with the help of Prakruti) into cosmic state and experience the lower level of its existence. Sorry, I raised so many doubts in a single letter. I m grateful to you for making me to realize correct interpretation and correct meaning of Great Bhagawat Geetha .

HOW TO PRACTICE REAL MEDITATION

Posted by LAXMI on October 9, 2014

Swamiji:

Listen to a melodious song with your eyes closed. If you can immerse totally in that, it is meditation. You can try with our Geethanubhuthi CD playing in a low volume. HariOm!

Namashkar Samiji, After listening to your discourse, I desired to share the treasure trove of Geeta and new dimension you have shown on Geetha. I wanted to share and discuss with someone. So, I tried to talk to my husband and discuss about real meaning of important words in the poem. Unfortunately when I tried to tell the right interpretations/ real meanings and how those were wrongly interpreted by various people, he said that he feels there is no need to go deep into anything which is not necessary for living a peaceful life. I curtailed myself. However, I realised that I am not able to agree with his approach towards life. I feel that this life is revealing the truth to us in each and every moment we live. Ignoring it is foolishness. Then, what we want to become? Why not surrender to the present? Exactly what is called real GOAL of life?

Swamiji:

When you know what is good, follow your wise mind. Others will join you later. HariOm!

Pranam I remain Many a times we do things which does not give pleasure or happiness but done as matter of routine or for others. We force our mind and soul to accept it as it is and try to find joy in that , say to make ourselves positive but at the end u keep forcing your self and land up in confusion , sense of lost or doing what u do not really want to do but of course u dont mind doing it. Something like act done out of heart and happiness and act forced to be done. At the end u lose your individuality, relations, friends, situations, and what not. nammalle thanne kabalippikya -ano, chushanam cheyyugayano ????? We may explain the why of it or the reason but how of it and the solution!!!!

Swamiji:

Irrespective of what you do, if you can disassociate your mind from it and unite with Bhagavan, then you are transcending the likes and dislikes of the mind. As long as you are trapped in the likes and dislikes, you are a slave of your own mind. So, elevate yourself

Dear Swamiji Kodi pranamam!! Daily I read this page and used to notice the answers given to many devotees. I am working in an office and having two kids and I have to look after my duties at home , office , children , old parents etc. I am not finding myself involved in Nama japam etc . I am chanting God’s name while travelling (bus) , even in office etc. In the present lifestyle , how can I go deep and fully immersed in Him? Please advise. after watching your TV programme and reading the soothing answers I have no fear in me now , for anything . A peculiar courage is within me nowadays which was not there previously and I had experienced many tragedies in my life in the past. I have not seen you and I have not attended any of your Sapthaham due to the hectic life schedule. Thanks a lot Swamiji for your selfless service , It helps a lot of people.

Swamiji:

When you do your duty well, that itself is Easwara Pooja. Offer every work as worship to Him. Constant remembrance of the Lord is true devotion. When the right time comes, you will get opportunities too. HariOm!

Where can I buy the publications (Books, CDs etc.) online? Thanks.

Posted by Sajan Govindan on October 9, 2014

Swamiji:

Please buy from our offices or programme venues. You can write to harisriom@gmail.com for getting by courier. HariOm!

Swamiji:

If you have developed Sama Budhi, then no need to visualize any thing as only good will happen to you But if you are gripped in illusion or imagination of fear, then apply positive imagination. Visualize success before going to sleep and study well to promote it. You will definitely
