Posted by Krishnan on July 12, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Krishnanji, Many people feel this dilemma in the spiritual path. Once they start practising Sadhana, they feel that their profession does not give any satisfaction and hence want to change their career too. They feel that giving discourses is an easier option. Please understand, wherever you are, you can

Dear Krishnanji, Please see the answer given to the other question. HariOm!

Pranam Guruji I want to share my experience Guruji. As per your advice i surrendred to lord and was hearing my inner voice for solutions and i was getting proper path to follow. My husband was in depression and was not able to come out of it. I felt as if some body is telling me keep Rudram and chamakam daily in the morning . I stared keeping the recording of sloka’s in the morning and my husband started changing slowly . He was having ortho problem and we went to a orthpedic surgen. He checked his bone density and said the cauase for the depression is his inablity to have a normal life and adviced for treatment. I got a long pending arrears and it was exactly the amount i needed for the treatment. The treatment has made my huband stand on his own and move arround in the house and is very Happy.My husaband is a worshiper of lLord Shiva and suddenly he stoped chanting Rudram and chamakam. Now he has stared chanting again. Guruji shata Kodi Pranam to you for showing the path and the right direction. I need your direction

Swamiji:

Dear Visalakshyji, Thank you for sharing your experience. It will inspire many seekers in this path too. Hariom!

Dear Swamiji, Thanks a lot for your answer. Earlier, i used to recite Vishnu Sahasranamam, Lalitha Sahasranamam, Ganesha Ashtotharam, Narayana Kavacham etc. To be honest, i was not getting my mind completely in to it, so i stopped reciting it slowly thinking about the meaninglessness.As you said in the discourse, when we are not able to surrender in to the essence completely, i feel, i am no different from a parrot. As in the recent Gita session, even Lord Krishna says not to follow him, but to thrive to achieve his state of balanced mind.Can you please let me know the significance of chanting the Sahasranamam or similar Sthothrams in this context when the Lord himself is asking us to seek God within ourselves. I am in my thirties and what i see around is the blind Bhakthi where people refuse to use their wisdom in analysing the meaning of many of the wrong rituals which they practice in their daily life.Most of the time, we are forced to accept the dead conventions which are being followed in our surrounding only not to hurt anybody’s feelings.Your discourse has finally given me the courage to feel that, i was not wrong in my thoughts, though i am an infant with infinite knowledge to explore ahead.People at my age group are in need of a Guru like you to show us the light in the right direction, otherwise, we also will be forced to follow the herd, without knowing what is the ultimate truth.I came to know about the significance of meditation and connecting oneself to the paramatma only after attending your discourse.With this, we can guide our kids also to the right bhakti as you quoted the Janakan’s story from Bhagavatham.But we need to know more and more about the true way of living in the way you explain which only will help us realise our wrong thought process. Hari Om!

pranams why is it i feel so lonely and singled out when i am staying in a complex which has 200 flats. every body has got so many friends and they go out and have fun but people hardly talk to me. Always i have to go and break the ice and talk they just reply to what i asked and go away.even when i go and try to mingle in their group they just ignore me. i feel either i am not visible or i am not wanted. how do i feel at home in this complex because there is no other go but to continue staying here even if i am insulted.

Swamiji:

Dear Mallikaji, When you are aggressive or submissive – either way – people will stay away from you. You will not get respect when you try to impress people. But, if you are always smiling and ready to help every one wherever you are, such an effortless helping attitude will

Swamiji,Is there any relation between nature and karkitaka vavu? Why all people are doing bali on that day?

Posted by Rajalaxmy on July 12, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Rajalaxmyji, During ‘Chaturmasyam’, such religious customs are observed. Karkidaka Vavu comes in the ‘Pithru Yanam’. HariOm!

DEAR SWAMIJI, PRANAM. SWAMIJI, I HAVE GOT MANTRA DIXSHA BEFORE FIVE YEARS FROM MY GURU (SHAKTEYA). BUT I COULD NOT CONTINUE TO DISCOURSE THIS MANTRAS BECAUSE OF SOME PROBLEMS . NOW THE TIME I WISH TO CONTINUE THE MANTRAS REGULARLY. ( THE MANTRAS ARE GAYATRI, ASHTAKSHARI, PANCHAKSHARI, MAHA BALA, MAHA GANAPATI, & NAVAKSHARI). PLS ADVISE ME TO HOW I RECONTINUE THIS MANTRAS . KINDLY ADVICE ME ANY RULES TO RECONTINUE THIS MANTRAS.

Posted by UNNIKRISHNAN on July 11, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Unnikrishnanji, It is not the Mantra, it is the involvement of the mind in deep meditation that helps one to experience God. That alone gives you mental strength. Practise meditation regularly and enjoy the company of God alone. HariOm!

Hari aum Swamiji. Very thankfull all your speech and answer. I respect amrithanadamai$ sai baba. Hindu people need some one for hindus. I like to ask you,why we people have to do aradana$ namajapangal for them.What do you think about that.. thanks.

Posted by Bindu Goapakumar on July 11, 2012

Swamiji:

Thank you, Binduji. As long as we consider our mind is weak, we need a support. But when you practise Pranayam and Meditation regularly, in this life itself, you can experience God. HariOm!

what is the definition -NIRVIKALPAM

Posted by Narayanan on July 11, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Narayanji, It is not a definition, but an experience. All definitions belong to ego and when ego disappears, you can’t define any thing. Can you define deep sleep? HariOm!

In SRIMAD BHAGAVATHAM3.16.25 by swami prabhupada it is written that a devotee can not be at fault.also written that in BHAGAVAD GITA also it is confirmed that THE DEVOTEE who faithfully serves the supreme LORD,even if found to commit a gross mistake, should be considerd a sadhu or a saintly person& the wrong should not be taken seriously.” sir, can u please explain the logic/reasoning in this statement? Thank you.

Posted by Usha on July 11, 2012

Swamiji:

Dear Ushaji, All these sins and mistakes are there, for those who carry them with their lives. If you drop them forever, (refuse to entertain such thoughts) then the sins and mistakes can not touch you. For that, one has to develop mental strength through meditation. HariOm!
