Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Namaste, It would be helpful to know the complete context of the article, author, publication, etc. It is best to stick with the writings of all the masters in the Ramakrishna tradition [sampradaya], as one can be sure of the authenticity and consistency.

It says that to do a complete meditation one must get rid of all the desires. After all why we need to get rid of the desires in order to do a perfect meditation? Are'nt we going against our wills or our " SELF " . Clarify me.Also if it is mandatory then tell me how to do it in practice.Thanks. > > > > > > Got something to say?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 hari om! what has been said in the book is absolutely right. unless u get rid of all desires u cannot do perfect meditation. if u have desire for anything, your mind will constantly think about it. suppose,if u desire to have a car, ur mind is constantly thinking about the car, its model, color, price tag, no. of peoply watching u when u r out on a drive and so on. u can never get rid of such thoughts unless u get rid of desires. only when u get free from all desires will your mind be completely focussed on the supreme being, the almighty. if u have further doubts let us know. may peace reign...................................................

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 Dear Tom: I would tend to agree with the Buddhists - the more the better. However, the " more " is relative, based on each person's readiness. For example, I find that if I sit for longer than 1 hour at a stretch, it becomes counter-productive. So, if I want to do an extended meditation, I need to take hourly breaks. God Bless, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Namaskar Dr. Rambabu, Yes, both sacred items can be placed in the same pouch during night time at the puja mandir. For getting rid of debts, mindful discipline and financial management are highly important. There is need to budget tightly and use most of the spare money to pay debts. Keep a little aside for emergencies and do not touch it if there is no necessity. Don't be tempted to buy new things and don't look at shops while going out. Buy food for the family, make sure there is enough to eat. And pay bills on time. Sacrifice nice or new things until the debts are all paid off. If things are out of control, seek the advice of a financial adviser who can do calculations on how to reduce debt and help you manage your funds better. There is the Shree Sampoorna Mahalaxmi Yantra which you can also offer puja to. Do this with bhakti. I shall post a picture and details of this yantra in the next message. Hope all this will help you and may you have success soon in ridding the debts. Om Namah Shivaya , " Dr. Tetali Lakshmi Rambabu " <tlrambabu wrote: > > Namaste. > I am wearing 7 mukhi along with Lakshmi Kavach with an intension to clear all my debts. I am also wearing 11 mukhi.
