Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I am not aware of any process or practice which develops aseem shradha and love for the Almighty and that too for all the time etc. Your sincere question deserves reply ,hence I am answering. Shradha is the end result of experiencing the gradual elimination of souce of our and other's sorrow/unhappiness. Unhappy person cannot have shradha and happy person will not bother about shradha. --------- Shree Hari Ram Ram Pujya Swamiji greatly emphasizes that "relationship" is key. He has often given the example of a girl when she gets married. Just the simple act of marriage, the change in the relationship, changes everything in an instant. Her entire attention, love, shraddha, all in all, in an instant become focused on this new relationship. Someone that she met a short time back, now becomes the center of all her activities. She attends to his house, his parents, his brother / sister, his relatives, his needs - everything ... simply from having this relationship. Even when she visits her own parents, at the back of her mind remains concern and welfare of her husband. One of the ways of aseem shraddha is having a loving relationship with God (mother, brother, sister, husband, son / daughter, Guru etc). Someone who is our very own, very loving, that we can trust implicitly. When attention is on this One and Only, how can indulgence in the material world happen? Indulgence happens due to self-centeredness, but here the center changes and the focus becomes the other (God).

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Bandhu A.K.Jain, Ram Ram. Kindly fix up a moment when you are neither happy nor unhappy. This is the 'sandhi' of your so called happiness and unhapiness [which are identical in nature] and at that moment you are in the spell of what you want to generate in your mind i.e. aseem shraddhaa and Love. Do it and see yourself.
