Question:How can I get mental peace?How can I attain God? What is the way to success? Is it possible to earn a lot of money?...& Many more..

Radhe Krishna All,

In a home where there is always a quarrel, where people do not meet eye to eye on any matter, hate each other, are not united, the atmospheric waves are negative. When anyone visits the place, he feels restless and desires to get out of the place.

Wherever the chanting of Nama is performed, wherever a japa is done, a wave is created. This is the reason that we say that it is peaceful, joyful in a place. What is so peaceful? The atmospheric wave here is very calm.




---- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

-------------------------------   
I believe karma and everything that relate to it such us reincarnation. As far as I know most people prefer to die in peaceful way. I have a question about people who die in accident like car crash, plane crash or any horrible tragedy. Does this happen because of what they did in the past like they are prisoner of the past so they deserve to die like that or is it God's will?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

It is God who designed and who is implementing the Karma Theory. Whatever happens in the world happens only according to karma, be they good or bad. God does not usually interfere in this system of working. Very rarely, He interferes in the case of extremely faithful devotees, and to prove that He is above all the Karmas and is not bound by them. Even if a person dies by way of an accident or a tragedy, it is because of their Karma only.
-----------------------------------
I read somewhere that it is an offense to preach the glories of the holy name of the Lord to the faithless. Then what is the way to get the faithless to chant?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

There are scriptures. The same scriptures also state that one should follow the words of the Guru without any doubts or questions and act accordingly. Going by that rule, all our masters starting from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are crying aloud to make the people chant the Holy Name to have them liberated! So we take that path.

Every rule has an exception too!
------------------------------------
Swamiji, Please explain why karma is carried from one birth to another? Why if someone does a wrong thing he is not been punished immediately. For any suffering all say it is due to past karma. Is it correct?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

If God punishes immediately, you would say why can't he give him time and chance to correct what he has done! It is due to infinite patience and compassion of the Lord that he gives us chance after chance to attain his feet. So if you turn to Him and chant Maha mantra now, Nama does all the purification instead of 'purification by punishment'.
---------------------------------
What is the significance that given to 'Nagam'(snake) in our Hindu Religion?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

'Nagam' refers to 'Kundalini' in Yoga Shastra. The same refers to 'Prakruti' in Vedanta. The same refers to 'Kainkarya' (Service) in Bhakti (devotion).
-------------------------------
1. How can I get mental peace?
2. How can I attain God?
3. What is the way to success?
4. Is it possible to earn a lot of money? - Please let me know.

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

You have wished for 'Dharma', 'Artha' (wealth), 'Kama' (ambitions) and 'Moksha' (God). Srimad Bhagavatam says that all these four can be attained by performing service to Lord Sri Hari.

Chanting the Mahamantra and pleasing the Lord is the easiest way to serve Sri Hari. So start chanting right away and attain these four very easily.
---------------------------------
Can one get salvation only though a Sadguru who is present in physical body?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

That is not the only way. But it is one of the easier paths.
----------------------------------
If everything happens as per karma, and fate cannot be defeated, then why should convince people about Bhakti?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

Can you tell me if Bhakti is also in your fate or not? Convincing people about Bhakti is in your fate, asking this question is in your fate, and getting this answer from me is also in your fate!
-----------------------------------
The destination of every path to the Almighty is the same That being the case, should I avoid the company of one who takes a path different from that of mine?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

Although, as you rightly said, the truth is One only, the mind consciously or unconsciously gets influenced by what it sees, hears, reads and so on. So if you are already on a particular path, it is better (not a 'must') to avoid other paths.
---------------------------------
I am financially insecure. What will be my future? Is there any change in my profession?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

When God is there, why worry? Have faith in Him, chant and pray sincerely. Don't be dejected. Be cheerful and chant the Mahamantra with faith. That is enough. It will give you the desired results.
------------------------------
What happens to a person who in their lifetime has not been graced with the shelter of a Guru (Sadguru) and in their final moments utters Rama Nama or hears Rama Nama? Do they still attain the Divine Abode of Sri Hari?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

Yes. The Ajamila Charitra (life history of Ajamila) describes just this. So it is true. But it is very difficult.
-------------------------------
What does is mean to 'Just Be' ?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

It means that you should not even ask this question!
-------------------------------
The Mahamantra itself is so pure that you can take it any where but my friend was singing a Kirtan when he was in the wash room. Is it alright?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

Yes. There is nothing wrong in it.
-------------------------------
Lord Vishnu has taken the Rama avatar. In that He experiences sorrows and sufferings. For example, by His power, He could have easily found out where Sita is and He did not require Hanuman to search the whole of Lanka and find Her finally at Ashoka Vana! He could have directly appeared in Lanka instead of building the bridge! But why does He undergo those difficulties?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

Rama Avatar was an avatar in which the Lord came down on earth to live the life of a human being and show us how one can stick on to Dharma by leading a human life. Hence He did not use any of His godly powers.
