hari om swamiji Swamiji ,my doubt is that why we put soopothi in our houses in karkidakam

Posted by Shymala on July 19, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Shyamalaji, Karkidakam is an auspicious month. These rituals remove the negativity and bring in more positivity. HariOm!

Pranam Swamiji Thank you for your valued reply. A very special thanks to you for indirectly helping my mother to comeback to a happy and normal life through your discourses. For the past 25 years she was in a depressive mental state and was taking pills for depression. She is regularly watching your Discourse in Asianet and has stopped taking antidepressant pills. She is now eagerly looking forward to seeing you personally when you come to Guruvayoor in September 2012. With love and regards, Ramachandran

Swamiji:

Dear Ramachandranji, We all must understand the power of our mind. The same mind can take you to depression and ecstasy. When we realize how beautiful and precious this life is, we have the responsibility to help others realize it too. Please share your Knowledge with all. HariOm!

Swami – It is said that soul does not have birth and death.Then how the population is getting increased in this world day by day?

Swamiji:

Dear Bijuji, Can’t you see that many trees are being cut and many animal species are vanishing? HariOm!

The story of Ramayana is familiar to all of us, young and old alike. Ram, Sita, Ravan, and Hanuman are very sacred and familiar names in our glorious nation. We see the influence of Ramayana even in countries outside India like Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand etc. Although many great literary works have enthralled human minds in the history of mankind, Ramayana continues to be regarded as the immortal timeless epic whose message is all the more relevant in today’s times. What makes this classic tale immortal? Today, we live a life steeped in material comforts and relentlessly strive to appease our sensual cravings one after the other. But are we happy and secure in this society? If yes, why do our daily newspapers report unimaginable tales of violence, abuse, torture, and misery the world over? If no, what is the solution to these man-made or mind-made problems? Modern science does not seem to have the answers for the problems that plague the human mind.The “Adi Kavya”, Ramayana is that divine nectar that guarantees Mukthi from the seemingly never-ending misery of human existence. Ramayana marks the journey (ayanam) of our minds from egoistic, selfish, and negative tendencies (that only cause sorrow and suffering) towards a positive and divine nature that spreads harmony, and love thus paving the way for a joyful and prosperous existence for all. Saint Tulsidas, the blessed author of Ramcharitmanas says : “Shriramachandra kripalu bhaju mana harana bhavabhaya darunam, Navakanja-lochana, kanjamukha kara kanja pada kanjarunam.” O blessed mind! Always meditate upon Lord SriRamachandra, Who is full of Grace! He surely eliminates the dreaded fear of Bhava (transmigration through worldly existence), which is extremely fierce!. Oh, fortunate mind! Adore the beauty of His eyes, resembling the pink petals of freshly bloomed lotus. Worship His tender, fragrant, lotus face, the delicate reddish lotus flowers of His hands and feet.

Posted by Asokan on July 18, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Asokanji, Presently, we do not have any outlet there. You may please write to harisriom@gmail.com for getting it by courier. You can collect it from our Ernakulam and Guruvayoor offices too. HariOm!

Sampoojya Swamiji, As advised by you I am continuing with meditation. Recently I am experiencing a strong energy flow from my spine to head. Has it got anything to do with meditation ? Thanking you, Santha

Posted by Santha Aravind on July 18, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Santhaji, Please do not become very concerned about your experiences in meditation. Just discover the ‘Experiencer’. HariOm!

Respected Swamiji, Charan sparsha! Swamiji it is believed from the very old days that our ancestors come to us and accept our bali tharpanam. It is said they come in the form of bali kaka. But if crows does not come then what does it mean? is there any wrong?

Posted by Priya Nair on July 18, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Priyaji, Bali is not related to any one’s death, because according to our Indian philosophy, after death again we take birth. Then how can you expect them in the form of crows? HariOm!

I am a Hindu and always had faith in Hindu gods and rituals but never understood the hindu scriptures much,Except when i hear discourses on tv etc,i really like them but somehow they dint touch me deep inside,Once as i was depressed in my late teens,i happened to hear sermons of very good pastors and it changed my life completely.I generally dont discuss my faith in jesus with people,but the change inside me changed the way people behaved with me,some of my old friends still act mean to me ,otherwise most people find me interesting and attractive and unlike before i like meeting people and getting to know them,i used to hide and run away from people before, except for weird creepy people or control freaks,i can adjust with most people now.But my mother doesnt like my interest in christianity, i just tell her that it is a different way of reaching the same God and God is one though with different names,still she doesnt listen .I had been to ISKCON preachings to understand Gita better and i should not say this but it was one my worst experiences.What i understood was that they teach humility and say that being submissive is the way to reach krishna but i have experienced that being submisive just makes you lose all your integrity and you develop that helpless victim mentality,and then you are soon just not yourself and people just walk all over you and make you into something that they want you to be,Since then i dont like our scriptures at all ,i know its because i have no knowledge of them and have never properly understood them ,but now i not only hate our scriptures but also feel scaredof all these selfish false gurus.I heard some of your discourses and liked them and found them very practical.How do i remove this fear and how do i convince my mother to give me the freedom to choose the faith i want.

Posted by Sophia on July 17, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Sophiaji, It is very difficult to convince others, because every one is so adamant in their own beliefs because they are afraid of society. Moreover, the so called religious system created by the priesthood does not want to liberate any one from this psychological foolishness. So, please meditate silently

Posted by Prasad on July 17, 2012
