Swamiji Pranamam, I feel it is not easy to lead a spiritual life in this world.I feel for the same reason Great people did not get married and live a married life.If we have to be in both we have to face great pressure from outside and may be we may be we will be forced to drop one.When we are in Geeta Classes we enjoy listening to it but once we come out it is very difficult to implement it in practical life.If we continue in the same atmosphere it is practically possible to implement it. Guruji please advice me on my thoughts. Thanking you. Pranamam.

Swamiji:

Thank you Padmaji, HariOm!

Hari om. I watch your discourse which comes on TV daily. I am thankful and grateful to you for making us understand what bhagavatham, bhagvat Geetha is all about. I used to take out these books during saraswati puja time, perform some puja and then put it back without reading, without understanding what is inside the book. Thanks to swamiji for making people like me to understand the essence of these books. hari om.

Dear Sujathaji, Very good, please share your Knowledge with others too. HariOm!

16.07.2012 Ramayanam is the first written book in the history of literature. It took 10,000 years for the world to develop alphabets and words, much later than our most ancient Indian ‘literacy’ culture. In the history of world literature, it started with prose and the content were stories. But in India our great masters were great poets, they wrote everything in poetry. Ramayanam is called ‘Adikavyam’. It is not mere poetry, but it contains very deep significance of spiritual wisdom. In the periphery, we can see a story of a family or a kingdom but inside it is full of spiritual knowledge which is a message to this world. So Ramayana should not be read as a custom which we followed, but read from our hearts with a surrendering mind, then wisdom will flow to our hearts. It is said that Ramayana was written by Sage Valmeeki who sang this great epic from a deep feeling of pain he felt. Once he was going to take bath early morning; on the way he had to cross a forest where he saw a hunter aiming at two birds who were chirping and enjoying in the dawn. When he looked the hunter had already shot one bird. Its pain touched his heart and he just shouted to the hunter that “Ma Nishada” (oh hunter, don’t hurt). Then he introspected and discovered that the whole world is suffering because of the cruelty called ‘hurting’. In Ramayana, Ravana represents a ‘hurting’ character. Because of his cruel mind, he destroyed himself and his people. Rama the hero represents ‘respect’ because through respect he could bring harmony every where. Rama respected his enemy too. Many chances, he had given to his enemies to change their hurting minds. So Ramayanam is very relevant in today’s world which gives a great message that ‘respect others, don’t hurt their feelings and freedom’. Today we can see the whole world suffering because of the hurting, immature ‘Ravana mind’. Today’s Ravana appears in the form of violence which we see every where. We need minds like Rama who can create respect and harmony. That is the real solution for a peaceful world. When the world insists to love your neighbor, Rama requests to respect your neighbor. That looks more logic because to love you should know some one, but to respect we don’t have to know the person . When a unknown guest comes to our home, we respect him. That creates a harmony. That is why Gandhiji said, “we want to establish Rama Rajyam”. What he meant is the world where every one respects each other. Let us work together for it. HariOm! Swamiji.

Swamiji:

Dear Manoj, I don’t know which Sreedharanji you refer to. Moreover, I never get into any body’s personal life; my relationships are linked to their spiritual interest. HariOm!
