swamiji, hari om pranamams. swamiji i have two questions: 1) in todays world to visit certain important temples the bhakta has to pay 1000, 500, 100 rupees to come close to the lord and say his prayers. is it not ridiculous. in eyes of the lord the poor and rich are same then why this conditions???. 2) why are more and more people turning to astrologers, when the bhagawad geeta itself roars my devotee comes to me genuinely he will never perish. please answer swamiji. obediently. shaiju.

Dear Shaiju,
These are man-made situations or problems where Bhakthi is commercialized.
The true qualities of a Bhakta is well described in 12th chapter of Srimad Bhagavat Geeta; please read it.
A weak person always blames others (including planets and stars) and seeks external support!
A strong person always performs sincerely and accepts every thing as a Prasad from the Lord!
(Please watch SATHYAM PARAM DHEEMAHI in Asianet for Bhagavatham retelacast).
