Dear Swamiji, Who is Brahma Rakshas and why are they worshipped in Temples?

Posted by Manoj on November 15, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Manoj, Generally it is said “a departed soul (mind) of a Brahmin or a Sanyasi are called Brahma Rakshas. In order to get the blessings of such a departed one, who was spiritually elevated but mystically died are treated like a divine powerful one. Hence they are all worshiped

Pranam Swamiji, I am eagerly waiting to watch Bhagavathamrutham Vol. 54 onwards on the youtube. When it will available. Thank you.

Swamiji:

Dear Jayalakshmyji, Actually some other devotees have uploaded those talks. You can collect the CDs from our office. HariOm!

Guruji Pranam – in my office, few of colleagues think that I have done some harm to them, as to my knowledge i have not done any such. The above negative feeling in my mind could also be wrong, it could also be because of the mind set I have with them. But one thing is whenever I try to be close with them and at times some words they shot is like an arrow which again makes me to retain the gap. To be frank, for me I don’t have much friends in my life, I would like retain the few whom I know. Unfortunately nothing is bonding people come and go which I also accept. But one thing I prefer is, the people who had wrongly looked at should know one day that I was not part of any. Above is not the feel which I have with my colleagues, I have the same issue with my near once too. If you can advice me where am wrong, I am more than happy to transform myself.

Swamiji:

Dear Anilji, When you approach any one with a doubt in your mind – whether they will accept you or not – it will reflect in your verbal and non verbal communication. It will increase their hostility. So, be natural and enthusiastic. Always take the middle way, that is, be

Namasthe Swamiji, I recognise most of the aged people have only one wish that they want a peaceful death without bed-ridden thereby they are also happy and feel they wont disturb others also.What is the solution you can advice for that. We see so many people doing only good things in life suffering a lot at the end of their life but those who are selfishand hurting others will get a peaceful end.why it happens so?

Posted by Leela Nair on November 15, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Leelaji, The best way to remain peaceful is by meditation and chanting Vishnu Sahasra Namam. Please read the Bhagavatham notes in our site (Puranjana’s story). HariOm!

Swamiji, Hariom! We,myself,my mother & wife are ardent followers of your teachings. Many thank you for your teachings. Would need your guidance in the below subjects 1.When we say Self is God and life’s objective is to realize the same, then who is Bhagawan Krishna ? If one workship lord Krishna,can he realize the God ? 2 Whether Lord Krishna is personal God ? If yes, where is he ? Does we have to believe both the existence of personal and impersonal God ? If Lord Krishna existed, what about other Gods Shiva,Brhma, Etc Please explain 3.Could you please guide on the present trend on the many swamiji’s or the God like personalities like Mata Amranathamayi,Sri Sri Ravishankar,Sri Sathya Sai Bhaba etc. Are they personal gods ? What is their objectives on the earth? How a common man is guided properly on these subject?

Posted by Babu K K on November 14, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Babuji, I have explained many times that Lord Krishna is our own Self and through meditation we can experience the divinity within. All incarnations are the same God. Gurus are God Realized souls who, with their unconditional, unlimited love, help seekers of Truth. They are the guides to divinity.

My family always taught me to be passive but i am pretty aggressive by my real nature and want to badly do the things that i like to do or study what i like or else i dont feel the inner satisfaction.I have my boundaries and i know what is right or wrong and my family has taught me good values and its so deeply embedded in me that i just cant cross my boundaries without feeling really guilty.I love my family and have nothing against them.But sometimes i get so frustrated and lost because i never really get to do the things that i really want to do.They have conditioned me to be passive and servile and that its not good for girls to be aggressive,so a lot of people take advantage of my servile nature.I never get to do what i want to do,they made me study what they felt was best for me,they told me to go for the job that they felt was best for me i am ok with that but not satisfied,they want me to get married to the person they will choose for me,i feel so lost and like i have no purpose in my life(i am 22 yrs),other than eat ,sleep,go to work ,feel depressed and then cry in self-pity.I have tried speaking up for myself but then i get scared like maybe i am doing something wrong ,maybe they are right .I feel lost and like i have lost my self-confidence.I am a silent person and dont like to talk much but my relatives think that a smart person should be very talkative and so they force me to talk more.My family has conditioned me to be very sensitive and submissive and expects me to be strong and bold at work I dont know how spirituality is going to help me,everywhere i see people are just using and manipulating spirituality for their own selfish needs,i have an aunty of mine who goes to every satsang and talks about it a lot and advices people but in real life she acts just the opposite and is very selfish and very materialistic,is it wrong that spirituality is just a mask many people put to achieve power,fame,wealth or whatever they want.There are honest ones too but very rare,everywhere these days you find lies,faking etc.I feel like there is no one in this world we can fully trust.Please help.What is really spirituality does it involve being too passive or just too nice or does it teach us to be assertive,does it really help in discovering oneself,can spirituality help you be a strong person.how can one do sadhana when the mind feels lost and restless.

Posted by Divya Nair on November 14, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Divyaji, All depressions arise from lack of clarity about life. When you have clear direction, you will know what is best for you. Understand, more than the environment influencing you, your mind is creating your environment. Unless you develop a positive attitude through Sadhana and meditation, you are bound

Namasthe swamiji, Deepavali wishes. How can we overcome stage fear?

Posted by Preetha on November 13, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Preethaji, When we have a sense of belonging to others, we will have no fear or hostility. For a person who meditates regularly, every one is part of their family. Hence they can address any audience with confidence. Hariom!

Dear Swamiji, HariOm! I used to hear your preachings on ACV in the mornings. I heard that you should not keep a photo of Krishna advicing Arjuna (in the chariot) in the battlefield at home? Is it right? And what is Medical Pranayama. Also I don’t have Bhagavatham or Geetha at home. Will I be able to get the same from your publications with translations/ meanings? What is the price of the books? Thank you

Posted by Prakash on November 12, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Prakashji, Understand, Lord Krishna is the Jagad Guru giving the right direction to the confused and depressed Arjuna to face the most difficult war situation. We have to pray to the Lord to shine through our intellect to bless us with clarity of thought. Unfortunately our minds are clogged

namasthe, Thank you very much for your immediate reply. Swami, you said that i have to ask myself to reach god.Then what is the benefit or idea behind going to temple?

Posted by SIVARAMAKRISHNAN on November 12, 2012

Swamiji:

Hariom, Temples and Ashrams provide a positive environment where your mind is relaxed and serene. Such a mind is the best tool to do the ‘Self enquiry’ through meditation. So keep meditating regularly and realize the divinity in yourself. HariOm!
