Gurudev, please speak something about jaap and sankirtans.
When someone is in love with somebody, they keep repeating their beloved's name, this is called jaap. And when they sing their beloved's name, it is called sankirtan. Everyone hums sometime or the other, whether in the shower or while doing some chore ... -
Gurudev, when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, what do we say to console them and what can we do?
Tell them to do the 'Om Namah Shivaya' chanting. If it is the second or third stage of cancer there should be no problem. Nowadays, so many things have become available here. A soursop fruit performs the same function as chemotherapy without side ... -

You have mentioned that Lord Krishna was full of joy. He was happy in all situations. However, in today's situation, I am not able to live like that.
You are able to follow this for some time at least, isn't it? There is a saying, ‘think like Krishna but follow the footsteps of Rama.’ If you follow whatever Lord Krishna did, you will get into trouble! Follow Lord Krishna's principles and Lord Rama ... -
I have so much anger that it is ruining my life. I learnt the Sudarshan Kriya 3 days ago. I remain calm for a few hours after the Kriya, but I don't know what happens after that. I fight with my husband unnecessarily. I feel like committing suicide.
Don't worry, continue your practice. Everything will be fine. The problem doesn't end after committing suicide. Whenever you get such thoughts, think that you have to take Guruji's permission before taking any such step. ... -
I am an anesthesiologist and I work with other surgeons. I have seen that they conduct hysterectomy on young women for money. This is a crime worse than female feticide. I have reported this matter but my friends discourage me saying that I should not get into this issue. I am not sure if I need to oppose this crime or play it safe.
You have to oppose this. We have to fight against injustice. We have to fight against ignorance, superstition and blind beliefs. Many people are under the illusion that they will get a good produce only if they use chemical fertilizers. We have to ... -
Gurudev, I want to remain neutral, neither positive nor negative. When I tell my husband, ‘I have no problems with you. You are allowed to do what you wish to do?’ It sounds negative. Is it negative even though I feel good and relieved to feel this way?
Yes, he may feel that you don’t care for him when you tell him, ‘you can do what you want to do, irrelevant I am happy.’ He may think that this lady doesn’t care for me. If you are feeling relieved, then that is good. What is there in words? You ... -
Thanks Guruji, finally my turn came.
Oh! You have been waiting, holding the question. But did you hear my other answers or not? (Answer: Partially!) Partially! That is what happens when you are stuck with a question. What if I don’t know the answer to your question? Are you ready to ... -
Gurudev, can you give us an insight on what is happening to our planet, to our environment, to our nature? I get worried everyday inspite of my trying to make myself a better person.
Don’t be disheartened. Nature is intelligent. It has given the will to many people today to plant more trees, to be more aware of the lakes and rivers and people are much more environment conscious today than before. So we are moving in the right ... -
If this life is a dream, then how to know the real self?
You cannot know the real self. What you can know is that everything is changing. Once you know everything is changing, one who feels that everything is changing is non changing. Without the non changing, you cannot recognize the changes. Without ...
