Hari Om Swamiji. How can a mentally retarded person elevate to supreme conscious energy. may be of his previous karmas but needs some consolation in this birth .How is it possible Swamiji

Swamiji:

Truly speaking, they have come to uplift other minds through their innocence. You can help them through melodious Bhajans and Nama Japam as the ear is the subtlest sensory organ. Remember ‘Shravanam’ is the first step in spiritual seeking. HariOm!

Sir, I want to buy your book, Gita Vijayeebhava- Vol 1,2&3. Can I buy it online through any sites ? If so please provide the site details. If online shopping is not possible, where can I buy it in Ernakulam?

Swamiji:

Please collect it from our Cochin office in Kalathiparambil Road. Thank you, HariOm!

Namsthe Swamiji, If everyone go for Sanyasa and drop worldly life, there wont be future generations and beautiful life in Jagath. So in general, the perfect way of life in Jagath is by Brahmacharya, Garhasthya, Vanaprastha and finaly Sanyasa (adhearing to dharma in each stage) right? In other words, existing a beautiful world of ‘dharmik’ life is better than having no ‘Jagath’ (Objects and Names) right swamiji?

Swamiji:

Yes, you are absolutely right. However, for some evolved souls whose Vasanas are ceased, they may adopt Sannyasam even in childhood. HariOm!

kodi pranamam ji, Swamiji now iam meditating everyday with pranayamam & japam(om).After doing that i feel silence too.But swamiji @ the sametime i feel fear bcoz of detaching from wordly things.So ji my question is that whether it is a gud sign of meditation or it shows that meditation is not working?Kindly expecting ur valuable answer guruji.Hariohm ji!

Swamiji:

Meditation need not be a pleasant experience for the beginners as the mental impurities get released. Continue your Sadhana regularly, gradually your mind will settle down. HariOm!

Namasthe Swamiji, If a poojari at temple happens to touch a bhaktha, he immediately go and take bath. Is there any meaning in this? By touching how the negative energy from bhaktha affect poojari if he has enough confidence in his positive energy? Being without affected by any external factors is the base of spirituality right? I think we cant say a person will lose his positive energy if he do bless many persons, instead it will be created inside more and more. Same way if a person has enough spiritual energy, cutting his beard and hair should not affect him right? My humble request to give a clarity on above subjects.

Swamiji:

Rituals and customs give restrictions on physical, verbal and mental cleanliness (shaucham). An Acharya or Guru who have transcended these may not observe them. But others may strictly follow it, especially in circumstances like temple worship. HariOm!

Can we say Brahmam/Consciousness is raw in its begnning and it itself need self refinement to jeevan mukthi? Otherwise how a birth on the Jagath attain negative ‘gunas’ if it is prefect and complete when born?

Posted by Binumon G on April 22, 2014

Swamiji:

Brahmam is ‘Anadi’ and changeless like an ocean. The waves only rise, exist and subside in the vast ocean while the ocean remains the same. How one attains the Gunas need not be known to us, but how we can attain the ‘Nirguna’ Supreme is shown by our great Masters.

Namasthe Swamiji, For my question below, the answer follows : From my spiritual inquiries, it seems killing an animal/bird for food or medicine is justified in our Sasthras, but same time a devotion to Ahimsa and Universal Love is expected from the mankind. I feel both are contradicting. Even when we adhere to vegetarian food, we are killing them as they too have a life/consciousness within, but we cant avoid food too. So how to understand the spiritual justification in killing a living thing for food, by a person who respect and love Ahimsa ? Posted by Binumon G 2014-04-19 Answer: Understand, plucking a plant, its leaf or fruit will still give birth to new plants, but cutting an animals’ head will not give birth to its child. Even vegetarian food, one should not waste. But what I want to know is, any justification there in having non-veg food, or can we say a spiritual seeker should not kill or eat animal/bird/fish and it is ultimately wrong in doing so?

Posted by Binumon G on April 22, 2014

Swamiji:

Giving pain to others affects the spiritual growth of a seeker. If you eat non-veg, you can not expect any advancement in your spiritual journey. (It is not hunger, but craving for taste that drives you to non-veg food). In Geetha the Sathwik food that helps you, is clearly written.

Not a question from me. But it’s about the discourse, by Swamy Udit Chaitanyaji, I watched on 22.4.14 morning. Wherein, Swamiji said “Jeevanam Sarvabhooteshu…….” and explained that ‘jeeva’ is in every living entity, including plants. Dr.J.C. Bose, a scientist, also proved that. Srila Prabhupad, founder Acharya of ISKCON, has explained in his book “Self Realization” Chapter ‘Thou Shalt no Kill’, wherein he quotes “Patram Pushpam, Phalam Thoyam yo me bhaktya…..” of Bg.9.26 and says ‘ vegitables,fruits, & grains should be offered to me (Krishna) in devotion’ . There is no ‘chetana’ in vegitables, fruits, milk and grains so it can be offered to Krishna and we can take the remnants as ‘prasadam’ then there is no sin in it, whereas killing animals, birds, fish etc is a sin because it has ‘chetana’ – emotions, feelings etc. like human being. This is what I could understand from todays discouse on TV after referring the ‘Self Realization’ Book. Am I right?

Swamiji:

Please understand, killing for food is part of nature, but killing for ‘tasty food’ is a human misbehaviour only. If an animal is a part of our ‘food chain’ it becomes our natural food. When we have a choice, why should we give pain to other living beings? (Strictly speaking,

Pranam Swamiji, By reading Bhagavatham i understood & strongly believe that Bhakthi plays a major role.what is Bhakthi & to whom we call bhaktha. when Bhakthi is very important then what is the role of meditation.Is both are different or one is superior to other.Becoz am doing meditation & through it i got so much awareness &i think it is the way to realization but when i think about bhakthi am getting worried becoz i don’t know what is what.pls tell me the differenciation.

Posted by Ram on April 21, 2014

Swamiji:

Bhakthi or devotion is the supreme state of love and gratitude free from all cravings and aversions. The devotee’s mind is single focussed on Bhagavan and eventually he sees every one as Bhagavan and the whole life as His Leela. Regular meditation purifies your heart and such a pure heart

Pranam Swamiji, What is vairagya. why it is so important to spirituality.Is both vairagya & Bramhacharya is one & the same.I recently heard that a person who is married & having so many relationships can also do it.am little bit confused with this statement. Pls guide me.

Posted by Ram on April 21, 2014

Swamiji:

Vairagya is dispassion, which is in fact becoming unaffected by the dualities of life. Brahmacharya is always being with the Supreme (mentally) irrespective of what you do externally. As you advance as a seeker both these develop in you. HariOm!
