Pranamam Swamiji, I suffered a lot , born to parents who are mentally challenged. Childhood was that of sufferings, both mentally and physically. Due to the sincere and immense help of my fathers brothers, i completed graduation and i married a very nice and good guy who invited me to his life . After two years of marriage he started business and we lost everything due to loss in business even house. We have two kids who are good in studies. Now i am very much worried about my kids- their education, marriage. How will i raise the money for all thsese? How can i console my mind? Especially in this scenario where money matters very much …. Seeking your guidance to find peace within me………………

Swamiji:

Life is a mixture of good and bad experiences. If you imagine unnecessarily and expect bad things, you may have to face them. Instead develop Prasada Budhi and gratitude. Surrender your self at the Lord’s Feet. You will be protected. Please read the Bhagavatham notes in this site. HariOm!

Dear Sir, I have been receiving your messages regularly through facebook as well as this email address. I have found them very inspiring as well as thought provoking. It is at this instance that I would like to know your thoughts on an experience that I had today morning. My religious views differ from that of my family. I am not an avid worshipper and pretty sure that an entity that blesses you based on the offerings or prayer actually exists.Although I do question my mother’s beliefs and prayers, I respect them and do not make the mistake of asking her not to follow what she thinks is right. This is true in most other fronts too. Today morning, I was asked to accompany her to the neighborhood temple. Although I was known to be not a great believer, I agreed thinking that it’s amma’s wish after all. And anyway, having lost her husband a few years back, she would like someone to accompany her. But when I reached there, I realized that her temple visits were for me. I had asked her not to perform any ritual on my behalf since I have always had scant regard for such ceremonies. Yet, still she kept at it. Till this point I have no issue. Everything is understandable although I do not agree with most of it. But the next instant, apparently I had to involve myself with the proceedings too. This one I object. It’s one thing to follow your beliefs and something totally different dragging someone else who differs into it too. I felt like as if she was not respecting my beliefs after all the respect that I had shown her beliefs. Anger started raging in me and I am afraid it is still simmering in me as i type this. What is more, the priest started dishing out unsolicited advices on what to do and what not to do. Like as if he had any idea what I was going through. Another day and another circumstances I would probably have listened to him but today, when my own mother refuses to respect what I had clearly told her a hundred times before (that she ought not to drag me into beliefs that I do not share), every inch of my body wanted to scream at him to shut up. Ironically the pooja that I had to take part in was to “help in my studies and remove hurdles”. This morning I had planned to do some preparation for an exam that I would have to write next month. This pooja came in its way. I do not know what to do. I feel I have been wronged. I know I have been. But how do I present this? She will not listen. She is just as stubborn as I am. But I do not like being forced to do things I do not believe in. Hoping for a reply, Regards, Hari

Swamiji:

Dear Hari, If you are truly indifferent to some thing, its presence or absence can not disturb you. While preserving your mental freedom, you can please your mother too. HariOm!

Dear SwamiJi, Please excuse me if this question is ignorant in any way. In Biology class we have learned about the formation of the earth, evolution and the progression of small organisms into human beings. Does Hinduism or Hindu scriptures agree with the modern scientific concepts of evolution and the formation of the earth? Thank You!

Swamiji:

Dear Geethaji, Modern Science had considered only matter, they never considered mind which is the creator. So, Indian Philosophy could penetrate much deeper into the mysteries of nature. Hariom!

Dear Swamiji, Pranam I am studying in XII std. and my board exams are nearing. Swamiji, I just cant concentrate on my studies. I’m feeling completely demotivated. I dont know what to do, swamiji. My motivation is dying out. I’m so distracted. Please help me.

Swamiji:

Dear Sajith, The power of your negative words is destructive. If you can reverse them and encourage yourself by saying “I CAN, I MUST, I WILL” it will produce miracles in your life. So, do Pranayama and meditation every day and chant AUM three times before studying. You will do

Hari Om Swamiji.. Of late, I do not have any interest to work hard or get appreciation. I am just continuing to work for the sake of it as I do not have anything else to do or any hobby/passion. How do I find excitement & enthusiasm daily in my work? Please advise.

Posted by Ashwin on February 12, 2013

Swamiji:

Dear Ashwin, Only a person with energy and enthusiasm will be liked and respected by all others. Tomorrow you may regret for your mistakes done today. Hariom!

Swamiji:

As a snake drops it skin, mind drops the present body and takes a new one. HariOm!

You vouch for simplicity and austerity for everybody in your discourses and also claim that nothing of your amassed wealth will come with you when you die . If this is so, why your Bhagavatham Village consists of villas and luxurious units to suit the needy. I would have appreciated a single standard of simplicity so that all inmates will be the same. Something similar to the famous ‘Kibitz’ (?) in Israel? Here all are equal. What do you say? Thanks.

Dear Ramakrishnanji, All the facilities in our Village are common for all members. Thank you, HariOm!

Posted by Sreekumar on February 11, 2013

Swamiji:

Dear Sreekumarji, There are three types of miseries in our life. The first is Adhyathmikam – caused by physical and mental problems and diseases. The second is Adhi-bhouthikam, which is caused by living and non-living things around us. The third is Adhi-daivikam, caused by the powers of nature. All these
