kshama

Respected Santdasji, Namaskar. Your opinions are true too. Temples are sacred places, full of positive energies. But then how many people that religiously go to temple are good persons? How many people that follow rituals and religious obligations are pure enough? Going to temple is a blessing, but it doesn't change a man, only if, by the grace of god. I am not against going to temples.It is good. The awareness that god is everywhere must be there and cultivated. God doesn't dwell only in temples as He is omnipresent. That was what I was implying. Namaste.

Respected The Sage Nabooru, Why do you have to look for god outside when God is dwelling inside you? You can do any rituals but remember god isn't exclusive to one group of people, god is there for all. Namaste.

Nidhi Ji, Well since you both have been checked, I really think follow whatever your doctors say. Yes you can proceed with astrological consultation and doing the necessary remedies. You could also try ayurvedic consultation near you too. Then again, I can only suggest. Be patient, have faith in good, be positive always. I know it sounds cliche, it really pacifies the mind. Good luck.

Dear Nidhi Ji, I am not an astrologer, but as I am related to the health care field, I do feel need to channel my opinion here. I would encourage both of you to undergo fertility tests. In this modern era, the precise problem could be identified, to a certain extent. I understand your predicament and depression on this issue. The husband can consult a male urologist pertaining this matter while the wife can be taken to see a women gynaecologist. Or you can have both of you checked by one same doctor. The choice is yours. You guys must know, this is a commom thing and the specialized doctors are well trained to handle such cases. After going through/while going through your treatments it is then OK for you guys to do astrological remedies as suggested here or elsewhere. Why I emphasize doing both options is to increase the chances of getting the baby. Apart from that, please do pray to god and have faith in Him. Do not worry, all things will be ok. May god bless you. Namaste. ** I am sorry to butt in your thread, I apologize for any inconvenience caused**

Dear Haraksrnaharerama, I am not an expert in mantras. Well is your ADD diagnozed by a doctor or you are assuming by your own you have ADD? I suggest you go and seek medical help first, if... you have not done it yet. It will alleviate most symptoms. If you have been under treatment, then, you can aide your concentration with with spiritual practices given by a guru. As I do not know about mantras, I leave it to the seniors here to guide you. May god bless you. Namaste.

Respected Smaranam Ji, Both advait or dwait paths are beautiful. What impresses you, follow it. God is always there, whatever path you choose to reach Him. I am happy to hear you have penchant and devotion to Lord Krishna. May god bless you, namaste.

Respected Patit Ji, I was in a introspective mode after reading your post. Your words are very true. It made me think alot. Thank you. Namaste.

Dear Harikrishnan Ji, This is rather sensitive issue. It need to be dealt in utmost care and tact. As Sant Ji has said, please do anything you wish according to the law. Seek lawyers and go by proper channels. This is to avoid legal disputes. Please solve the matter without haste, if it doesn't create problem now, it will create a problem or two soon, we would never know. May god bless you and your family. Namaste.

Respected Sant Ji, It is not my intention to stop you or anyone from discussing. Go ahead, this is a free forum, and I am aware of that, thank you. I am again sorry to butt in, I won't do it in the future.

Dear Respected Members, This thread is going way off topic, pardon me for chanelling my thoughts this way. All I have to say, follow whatever path you are practicing. Be tolerant (that certainly won't affect what ever your faith is) with other people's faith too. In short, live and let live. Namaste.

Dear Brendan, Hinduism is vast like the ocean, one cannot summarize Hinduism to one thread, even with the things you want to hear. I do not dare to quote or state something, because it can mislead people and initiate unhealthy debates. I hope you would understand my position. I am amazed that you want read something about Hinduism. It is good. But sometimes, what we read, see and hear ourselves, is not as what we perceive, what it is. Even I myself had been in the position sometimes, I am lucky, because learned people point it out at the right time and helped me out from my ignorance pertaining that specific matter. Well I feel sorry I cannot answer you, as I myself a bit disoriented about what exactly you want to know. I think I will leave it to senior members here. They ought to know better. Best wishes, Kshama

Yes it is, he must have some work and things of his own to do. Be patient

Dear Brendan, Can you point-out at least what you want the forum members to comment on? It will surely create a win-win situation, where you feel satisfied hearing what you want and the forum members would rest satisfied that they explained what you want. Thank you.

Dear Ravi, I am not an astrologer. You must also mention place of birth. Thank you.

It brings me immense happiness. What does it mean to me? It makes me understand there is a way of life that gives me the liberty to choose my own path of devotion, makes me tolerant and respect people of different religions and paths of devotion and above all makes me live my life to the fullest. It is much more beyond that. It is assimilation of many positive things. Yes every in every breath I take I am happy to be a Hindu. I do not know how to be happy when I am already in a state of bliss, how could I ask for more? I do not know in details about other religions,but, every religion has it's beauty and path to reach god. From what I see, the followers of the religions are the ones confused and make the religion complex. Namaste

Respected Hindustani Ji, The incident that you have experienced does convey a message or two to people out there. Rudrakshas are powerful indeed. I must also say that, not all will have divine help like this in their lifetime. You are one of the many people that have seen and felt the benefits of wearing rudraksha. There are many people who wear rudraksha as a fashion statement, showing-off they are pious and there are some that even do not know why they wear it. But I do think if the rudraksha is given the proper respect, the wearer behaves in a respected way in life, then the effect of wearing it, is prominent. If not, all efforts are futile. Namaste.

Arjun2826 Ji, I cannot answer your questions about mediums in India, it is very unfair for me to generalize them, as I am a foreigner. Trance is a possible thing. But the credibility of the medium and accuracy of predictions are not easy to measure. People ask assistance from mediums when in misery or some kind of problems that they can't handle....so in that condition everthing seems true. There are indeed good mediums too. In my country, the mediums usually are trained by their guru. So they are to an extent advanced spiritually. Well I do not have much knowledge further than this. So I think I better stop commenting. Namaste.

Dear Brendan, Welcome to the forum. Nice questions by you, I must say. The thing is your questions are so obscure and not connected well, so I am getting a bit disoriented. Pardon me for my bluntness, perhaps if you make your questions clearer and in simple tone, more people can relate and perhaps write a reply or two. Thank you.

Yes it is a very common thing actually. In the my country, Malaysia, there are two kinds of temples, one the usual one(usual rituals and poojas) and the other are temples run by priests (mostly locals) that are able to go into trance. In my place, people flock at unusual hours into temples that has trance activities going on. The main reason they would go is probably settling their problems, through consultation offered by the mediums (people that are able to get into trance). There are many charlatans out there. Many reported cases that people are duped here. I cannot comment on India, it isn't fair because I am a foreigner, and I do not know the credibility of the mediums there. One thing I can say is that, surrender to god. There is no greater power than god. In this world we are currently living, all things we want in instant, so I understand people seeking short-cuts. But then, when everthing leaves you....god will always be there for you. Think about it....

Respected Members, Yes a very interesting topic indeed. Made me realize all perspectives of thoughts pertaining this subject. Thank you.

Kundalinijagaranam Ji, I am not an astrologer, but I feel moved by your condition. I reckon you are somewhere near Maharasta, I might be wrong. Could you state your birth city? It is easier for people to use that in their programme. I know I am not in your shoes so I certainly I wouldn't know your sufferring. Keep your faith in god. Remember always when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. It is just one phase of life. There are many bright things to look upon your life, just be positive. I am sure respected astrologers here will respond to your post. Good luck

Vanakam, Rajah Ji, I think you should post your birth details in Vedic astrology section. This section that you have posted is for questions, clarifications and knowledge about mantras and tantras. I am sure many astrologers will likely to help you in the vedic astrology section. Thank you and good luck. God bless you.

Sambya Ji, Everyone are blessed, because we are still living. All is by the grace of God. It paves way for us to enhance ourselves spiritually or to find our paths of devotion in life. We do not know how much time we have got left in this life of ours. Believe me, all of you and other members are blessed to be living, as there is room for improvement every second. Namaste.

Respected Pandora Ji, The blessed members above have advised the right thing. Dreams are not worth thinking much as soon after arising from bed. But in a psychological perspective, it might mean something deep. Since you mentioned the setting of your dream is a spiritual one, so I guess it is wise to do as what blessed members above said. Do not worry much. Namaste.

Thank you for bringing up a substantial thread with a substantial message. I do think detachment or renunciation is difficult to perform these days, but it is not impossible. What is important, to my little knowledge is vairagya. How to cultivate, nourish and maintain the vairagya is another thing to ponder about....How? Namaste.
