Swamiji, I have been listening to your CDs. I have now stopped requesting for anything to god/at temples, also stopped offering ‘Vazhipadu’ after understanding what you have tought. Indebted to you for the teachings. Hare krishna Deepak P 97450 02324

Swamiji:

Dear Deepakji, My message is that offering Vazhipadu will not give you any thing that you don’t deserve. Our temples must turn into temples of Satsangs. Then only they can transform our lives. HariOm!

Hari om swamiji, i just downloaded the bhagavatham app and really happy with it, found it intersting and convenient so I now read each scriptures daily morning on my way to work. feels nice, an energy booster. thanks

Swamiji:

Dear Sureshji, Thank you for the valuable feedback. Share this wisdom through your social networks too. It will help many to face life courageously. HariOm!

Some people really wanted to make us low repeatedly, they keep doing this . How can we respond to this. by keeping quite or leaving it as their karmas Why withouy doing any meditation the otherperson is so strong and never bothered or feel that he is hurting others But some where in the mind I tend to say he will get for this< but after that I feel was it a good thougt from my side Swamiji can you explain?

Swamiji:

Dear Anu, When you have the freedom and courage act boldly. Otherwise, surrender your problems with devotion and be peaceful. Never allow it to think negatively. HariOm!

todays tv programme you have naratted that mind is in chaithanam. Then how we can do wrong things.

Swamiji:

Dear Jyothiji, When you don’t mind your mind, it will act with old impressions(vasanas) which we cultivated all through our lives. So live watchfully and do every thing mindfully. HariOm!

Dear Swami Ji, ‘Vaikuntam’, Baghavante Dhamam, is really not a place but a state of a mind?? And all the ‘lokams’ described in our Sacred texts, for that matter, the same-a state of our minds?

Posted by Vidhya on November 5, 2012

Swamiji:

Yes, Vidhyaji. You are absolutely right. When you go to different moods of your mind, you are in different worlds of your experience. HariOm!

is there rebirth? if so can we look back or forward into our lives? how can we do so?

Posted by Balaji on November 5, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Balaji, The birth and death can be recognized only when you deeply study about the mind. As long as you look at yourself as the body, it won’t give you any satisfactory answer. Mere understanding won’t help us to get transformed. The conviction has to come through one’s own

pranams please dont publish in answer page. i keep reading your answers again and again so that i can get the point but somehow the mind waivers and as much as you say not to expect anything love everybody unconditionally i am not able to do so. according to my husband i am very useless and good for nothing my parents tricked him into marrying me. plus my mominlaw keeps telling me only after marrying you he has changed like this, other wise he used to spend lot of time with me, now he doesnt even talk to me. i have a nine year old son . my husband would even hit me in front of him. so even my son doesnt respect me much . he says i wish you were not my mother. husband is more interested in watching movies and sports and he encourages my son also to the extent that it affects his studies. so many times he has told mue to go out of this house but still i stay on i dont know why. i dont know where this will end. at times i feel what is the point in staying here and fighting. my husband doesnt believe in getting bup early or doing japam he infact eats his braekfast and then takes a bath.. at times my mind says why work for these people when you know they are not bothered about you. just go and join some ashram then i think about my son. how do i get peace of mind. am i wasting my time for these people.

Swamiji:

Dear Mallikaji, You are harming yourself with such a low self esteem. So, keep away your complaints for two weeks and strictly do Sadhana and meditation. Observe reasonable silence and smile till then. Then write to me, HariOm!

Swamiji Pranamam, My co-sister’s mother is suffering from Cancer.And she is staying with her daughter as her other children two sons and one daughter do not take care of her and this adds to her pain.My co-sister takes care of her very well but she too feels sad about the present situation.I do not know how to console her.In situations like this where I am supposed to console others I will not be able to do so as I feel equally hurt and sad about the situation.I pray for your prayers and blessings for her and her mother. Thanking you. Pranamam.

When you can not give strength, just pray for their well-being. My blessings are with you all, HariOm!

The way i was brought up in my early teenage years and the things i have been told has created a lot of shame in me.I try to hide it under the mask of humility but this shame is also creating a lot of fear in me.I even fear being myself in front of other people,not everyone but the older judgmental people. I am not the quiet passive girl i was before,i have changed a bit and today i am more courageous and when i tell people my opinions in my family,they act as if they are frightened by the change.I have been taught somewhere that being servile and polite is the best and so i really tried it practically and i feel so much like i am losing a part of myself and my self -esteem.I feel like i am selling myself cheaply and so people buy me cheaply,like i dont respect myself even though i am pretty talented and nice because i carry myself like that and this is partly because of the shame inside of me,i am always humble and some people take undue advantage of that and it hurts me.These people are obviously the lower class people not the nice decent ones (by lower class i mean the mental depth and moral quality not monetarily) who are just stupid ,ruthless and indecent .Eg.there was this old man at work,he was 57 ,fat,ugly ,dirty vulgar and perverted but thinks of himself as a young college guy,i am 23 i had to learn somethings at work from him so i was always nice,polite and humble to him but he had some other interests in me,asked me to come with him when his wife was gone,used to call me up on almost every weekend,when i told him i am not interested in such things ,am an honest person he told me i am an old-fashioned person,and then he tells my colleague that i am an old lady and asked my colleague why he was walking around with an old lady like me,he is a perverted ugly man and makes such advances at other young girls too but he has never said anything like that to any other girl so why is he saying that about me.Once he said he cared about me and asked if i had depression,does this mean that i sell myself very cheaply that people think i am desperate for care and affection and do i appear easy and should i talk with some ego so people stop buying me so cheaply.Just yesterday,a stupid, fat and arrogant guy told me that i have no brains and shouldnt be working where i am working.He was not anyone from work and doesnt really know me to judge me said that because of the way i behaved.Am i being too servile and fearful.When one of my friend used to order me around i used to listen to her and she loved feeling like the queen by targeting me and treating me like i knew nothing though now i stopped doing that because i have better people in my life.These were just examples to show how people treat me because i behave like the way i do.I feel like this fear and shame is covering up the real me and the bad control freaks use that to control and feel superior and that hurts me a lot.This never happened in school and college because though i was always quiet my performance in exams spoke about my intelligence and nobody treated me badly or doubted my character in fact they used to encourage me.But now things are different and i need to get rid of my shame and fear if i have to live a peaceful life in the real world outside.I really need some help and suggestions. please help me and suggest me ways in which i can do it.Sorry for my long story

Drop your entire past and move ahead! Learn from the mistakes and apply the wisdom in your life now. It is not too late to reconstruct your life. So, watch your mind and design a positive life through regular Sadhana. HariOm!

Dear Swami Ji, By your reference to Swami Rama Thritha, i started reading ” In the woods of self realization I, II, III.. “. I wanted to know more about Him & happen to stumble upon His ‘Maha Samadhi’ and started to read more about the ‘Maha Samadhi’ itself. Swami Ji, after going through this I felt anxious that, a mind soo much involved in body and its worldly attachments, how can a family person even dream of trying to reach that Self Enlightenment? Sure I’m regularly doing what all you have advised in your prabhashanam’s. But how can I go further? All those Maha Swami’s have reached their destination, Eternal Bliss. ‘Enill ulla Paramanda te nyan engane kooduthal ariyum?’

Swamiji:

Dear Vidyaji, Sometimes, the search and the desire are the biggest hurdles or mental blocks in spiritual growth. Surrender sincerely through meditation, all your words and actions. Start living cheerfully, courageously and consciously. This will dissolve you into true feeling. HariOm!
