Swamiji:

From Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. ‘Loka Samastha…’ is from an Upamgam of RigVeda stream. HariOm!

Swamiji, According to you, to love God we need not be a Hindu, A Muslim or a Christian. One of my cousin recently married a Pentecostal Christian girl . We belong to Hindu Nair family. All family members first opposed and later last Sunday they got married with all the blessings from family members and a grand reception was also arranged by his parents. Will this cultural difference – the way the boy and the girl brought up by their parents – affect their relation ship ? If this practice is increasing day by day , what is the relevance of adhering to our own casts ? According to me, we have to live the life given by the God. We have no control on the country we born, the language we speak and the religion we were born. Once it is fixed why should be want to change to other caste? We should not try to change our caste, change our beliefs, for what? Please correct me if i am wrong. In future , if my kids finds their partners from a different religion I will fully agree with them , ultimately it is their life – I am not having any control . Pranamam,

Swamiji:

Whatever may be your religion, if your mind is not caring, sharing and joyful you can not have a long lasting relation with any one. It needs emotional maturity to tackle problems in life. Only mediation can help you face life positively. HariOm!

Swamiji, My mother prays a lot , goes to temple does varivadu but still gets tensed for everything. She lives with my sister and her family to look after the grandkids. She gets tensed about them whenever she is away from them. My mother is also worried about her parents who are living alone. She is finding a solution by making everyone stay under one roof. But I know she will start complaining about the load of house work, the usual fights that take place etc. all that things happen in a family. I tried telling my mom not to do that and to start detaching herself from my sister and grandkids and start living a spiritual life.She won’t listen and keep saying that it is easy for me to say like that. I have been telling her to read bhagavatam , Bhagavad Gita but she won’t listen. She keeps complaining about things and I know this can stop if she goes for spiritual talks, read scriptures that will keep her mind busy and will show her the way how to deal with things. There are no family members or friends who can show her the best path because all of them are busy satisfying their senses, though they all go to temples and pray. You are the person who woke me up from my sleep and showed me the spiritual path.No one in my family or relatives or friends listen to my advice. Can you tell me how to help her or people like her before it gets too late.

Swamiji:

Dear Reshmiji, Please live as a good example for your family. If you are worried about others what difference do you have from others? Geetha is not for learning as an information, but for living every moment of your life courageously and peacefully. Remember, worrying can not help you, but

Namaskaram Swamiji, What is the difference between “nivedyam” and “Annam(my own meal)” as both are given to brahman by one or the other way

Posted by Saji on April 23, 2013

Swamiji:

Nivedyam is offering to the Lord first and then accepting it as Prasad. If you honour and accept your usual meal like Nivedyam, then there is no difference. The philosophy behind Nivedyam is very profound. Usually we give more importance and time to our relations and other worldly matters. We

Swamiji:

You are welcome, Mukundanji! Please write to bhagavathamvillage@gmail.com for the details. Thank you, HariOm!

dear swamiji, please tell me about the sins described by the bhagawadgita.

Posted by Lakshmy on April 23, 2013

Swamiji:

The worst sin is ignoring your mind and getting stuck up in past regrets and future anxieties. Life is not in past or future, but in the present moment. So involve your mind in what you do right now so that you will have a good future and memories of

Pranam Guruji! right now I havn’t any question, but 1 request, pl post ur valuable thought. Thnx. Yours Devotee.

Posted by Lalita U N on April 23, 2013

Swamiji:

See the Lord in yourself and others. That alone can please the omnipresent Bhagavan. HariOm!

Swamiji, What do we actually mean by Papam? Can you just give me an explanation about it?

Posted by Vidya on April 22, 2013

Swamiji:

Any thing that you do with a noble intention is Punyam. Any thing that you do with a bad intention is Papam. A true devotee is surrendered to the Lord and every thing is a happening for him. So he is beyond doership and experiencership of Punyam and Papam. HariOm!

We have been watching your short but highly inspiring programme on Asianet tv in the mornings. If soul is never destroyed and body is only transient, why do shastras prescribe performance of Shraadhhas?

Posted by Subbaraman on April 22, 2013

Swamiji:

To remind ourselves that our elders have gone leaving the responsibility to us. We have to remember their good service and inspire ourselves to do the same to the next generations. HariOm!

swamiji, if destiny of human beings predestined i.e. the time of your death and major happenings of your life is already set, what is the use of prayer since nothing can be changed?

Posted by Joe on April 22, 2013

Swamiji:

At the level of body, does any one have freedom? Do we have any control over the vital body functions? But we have freedom with our mind and how it responds to events in life. Here prayer means a devotional and grateful mind which attracts positive events and solutions to
