IT IS TRUE THAT MIND IS SO POWERFUL TO DISTURB US LIKE ANY THING.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO ALLOW YOUR THOUGHTS TO FLOW IN THEIR OWN WAY. THEN THERE WON'T BE ANY STRESS ON YOUR MIND. THEN THE FLOW OF THOUGHTS SHOULD BE CHANNALIZED IN THE WAY YOU LIKE.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR MIND IS SHOWING FRUITS, LET IT THINK. TAKE KRISHNA TO THAT PLACE AND SHOW HIM ALL THE FRUITS YOUR MIND IS CARRYING WITH IT, AND TELL KRISHNA THAT ALL THOSE FRUITS ARE FOR HIM. THEN YOUR MIND GETS PURIFIED BECAUSE OF HIS PRESENCE THERE.

NOW, HERE YOU DID LISTEN YOUR MIND AND YOU WILL ACHIEVE YOUR FOCUS ON KRISHNA ( OR YOUR GOAL ALSO).

In Sanskrit this term is refered as "33 Ko:ti De:vathas"

'Koti' in Sanskrit language means: "Section".
For Instance, words like 'Pratipaksha Koti , Purvapaksha Koti' in Sansrkit use the word 'Koti' in them.
Hence, 33 Koti Devathas mean - 33 sections of Gods who administer this creation in different ways.

The 33 Koti Devathas are:

• 12 "Adityas" - (They take care of the sustanance of the universe in different ways)
• 11 "Rudras" - (They change the forms of the entities from one to another. People call it destruction, but it actually means changing the forms for the better)
• 8 "Vasus" - (They nurture the entities)
• 2 "Ashwinis" - (They rectify the problems. They are known as the doctors. One of them take care of living entities, while the other takes care of 'Animal Husbandry and Forestry')

Under each of the Koti Devathas, there are millions of other Gods working for them

EVERYBODY TAKES BIRTH EQUALLY CRYING, IE. SUDRATWAM. THE OTHER PART OF THE SLOKA WAS “ KARMANA JAYATHE DWIJAH” BY VIRTUE OF HIS DEEDS ONE ATTAINS DWIJATWAM, MEANS, GETS JNANA JANMA, A BIRTH ACQUIRED WITH KNOWLEDGE, GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ITSELF GIVES THAT ‘DWIJATWAM’. NOW, COMING TO OUR ISSUE, ONE WHO UNDERGOES PANCHA SAMSKARAMS, IS ACCEPTED AS ATTAINING 3RD JANMA.
THE KARMA ONE HAS TO DO IS REALIZING AND DEDICATING TO THE LORD AND DEVOTEES. THIS DOES NOT MEAN ONE HAS TO LEARN SOMETHING SPECIAL FORTHAT PURPOSE. NO!
DEDICATE ALL THE ACTIVITIES TO THE LORD KRISHNA, IMMEDIATELY AFTER FINISHING THEM. THIS IS ALL WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
‘EXCEPT RADDISH AND ONION, GARLIC, LEAVES LIKE MARUWANA ( GONGURA); OTHERS ARE MOSTLY OKEYED.
TRY TO LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE THAT IS ENOUGH. LEAD A REAL LIFE IT IS ENOUGH.

We are happy for the question you have.
According to our scriptures there are 8.4 million varieties of species. It means that all the moving creatures have been classified into 8.4 millions. In each of them there again may be sub-divisions viz., if you take a cat for instance, there are white cats, black cats and cats in different verities. That is how we take them.

Now, a soul after leaving a body need not enter the same variety of body. It may enter any body. But, that depends upon the karma it is carrying with it. That karma leads one soul from the bottom to the top and from top to the bottom also. That means, a soul may go to an insect body from a human and a tiny creature may come and take a human body also. Kingdom of each creature has its own qualities, but that is decided only after getting that particular body by the soul. All this is about moving creatures only.

The soul may enter even plant body also depending upon its own karma. Because we are able to prove the existence of life in all types of plants and trees also. Your friend need to understand a lot in this subject.

WE ARE HAPPY FOR THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE RELIGION. WE GIVE ANSWERS IN SHORT. Ok!

1. WE ARE NOT NECESSARILY BE CALLED AS HINDUS. BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GODS, & THINGS LIKE SOULS, VIRTUES(PUNYAS) OR SINS(PAPAS), HEAVEN, HELL AND MANY MORE THINGS - NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN THEM, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE KNOWING ABOUT THEM THROUGH A SCRIPTURE CALLED VEDA. ALL THE SASTHRAS, PURANAS ETC., ARE ELABORATING THE ESSENCE OF VEDAS ONLY. HENCE WE SHOULD BE CALLED AS VEDICS. ALL THE NAMES LIKE VISHNU, SIVA BRAHMA OR ANY OTHER DEVAS OR FOUND ONLY IN THAT VEDA. OK.

AND THEN, PEOPLE BELONGING TO KING BHARATHA WERE OUR ANCESTORS. HERE "OUR" MEANS NOT ONLY PEOPLE IN INDIA, BUT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, LET THEM BELONG TO ANY RACE OR COLOUR. BECAUSE OF THIS ALL THESE HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD BE CALLED AS "BHARATHAS". KEEP THESE TWO THINGS IN MIND FIRST. 'HINDU' IS THE NAME USED AS A DISTORTED VERSION.

IN VEDAS, THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. NOT MANY. BUT THAT ONE, IS ALL-PERVASIVE, SO HE IS CALLED AS VISHNU. HE IS GREATER THAN THE GREATEST. SO HE IS CALLED AS BRAMHA. HE ALWAYS DOES GOOD TO ALL. THUS HE IS CALLED AS SIVA. HE IS CONTROLLING EVERY THING SO, HE IS NAMED AFTER ISWARA. HE DWELLS IN AND OUT OF ALL OBJECT, KNOWING EVERY MOVEMENT, RIGHT FROM ATOM TO COSMOS. SO HE IS NAMED AFTER NARAYANA. ULTIMATELY IT IS ONE GOD ONLY, HAVING SEVERAL NAMES,
REVEALING SEVERAL ACTIVITIES, TO SUPPORT THIS UNIVERSE. GREAT PEOPLE GAVE DIFFERENT FORMS TO DEPICT THOSE ACTIVITIES. ONE NEED NOT BE CONFUSED BY SEEING DIFFERENT NAMES AND FORMS.

AND THEN, WE, FOLLOWING VEDAS, TRY TO FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THAT UNIVERSAL POWER GOD, IN EVERY OBJECT EVEN IN THE NATURE AND ALL LIVING ENTITIES, MAY BE THEY ARE DOMESTIC OR CRUEL. WE RESPECT ALL THE SYSTEM OF THE UNIVERSE BECAUSE THEY ARE WITH SOME PURPOSE. NO ENTITY EXISTS WITHOUT REASON. HENCE, EVERY CRUEL CREATURE IS ATTACHED TO ONE FORM OF GOD VIZ., SERPANT WITH VISHNU, SNAKES WITH SIVA, LION WITH PARVATHI, EAGLE WITH VISHNU, BULL WITH
SIVA... LIKE THAT. THIS SAYS THAT YOU NEED NOT IGNORE EVEN THOSE ANIMALS AND BIRDS. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM IN YOUR HOUSES. WHAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEY MUST BE KEPT IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PLACES AND SHOULD NOT BE DISTURBED

BASED ON THE PERSONIFIED FORMS OF THOSE POWERS OF GOD, PURANAS GAVE INNUMERABLE DETAILS OF EVENTS. WE NEED PROPER GUIDANCE TO FOLLOW THEM, FOR, THEY ARE DEALING WITH UNIVERSAL SECRETS. OTHERWISE THEY APPEAR ODD. THEY WERE DESCRIBED WITH THEIR SPOUSES, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE MARRIED LIKE HUMAN BEINGS, BUT THE WOMAN IS A FORM OF ENERGY. SO EACH OF THE FORMS OF GOD HAVING A FORM AND SOME ENERGY. ONE CANNOT SEPARATE THE ENERGY FROM THE
OBJECT. FORM IS MASCULINE WORD AND ENERGY IS A FEMININE WORD. SO THEY WERE SHOWN AS WIFE AND HUSBAND. IN VEDIC CULTURE WIFE AND HUSBAND LIVE TOGETHER TILL THE END. THEY NEVER QUARREL AND TAKE DIVORCE EVERY NOW AND THEN. EVEN AT TIMES SOME QUARREL APPEARS, IT WILL BE WITH SOME PURPOSE TO HELP SOMEBODY IN THIS WORLD. HENCE, THERE ARE WIVES WITH DIFFERENT FORMS OF THAT "ONE GOD".

WE VEDICS NEVER CRITICISE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO SEE 'THAT ONE GOD' IN SOME NEW FORM THEY LIKE, BECAUSE WHEN GOD IS UNIVERSAL AND IN-DWELLER OF EVEN AN ATOM, THEN ALL OBJECTS BECOME 'HIS FORMS ONLY'. THE IDOL WHICH PEOPLE WORSHIP ALSO FALLS IN THAT SAME CATEGORY; WHY CANNOT IT BE ACCEPTED? TO DRAW THE POWER FROM THE IDOLS, AGAIN, THERE RECOMMENDED SOME PROCEDURE IN BOOKS LIKE PANCHARATRA AGAMAM. ONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THEM, TAKE RIGHT LEARNING FROM THEM, THAT MAKES TO UNDERSTAND TO A LITTLE EXTENT. WHEN YOU CRITICISE OTHERS, YOU ARE PROVING YOURSELF AS AN INTOLARENT OR JEALOUS.

THEN, HOW CAN ONE NOT HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THESE FACTS, CRITICISE ANYTHING? IT IS SO IMMETURE AND IGNORANCE LIKE AN INFANT BOY CRITICISING HIGH THEORIES OF SCIENCE. IF ONE REALLY WANTS TO SAY 'NO GOD OR NO VEDAS' ONE SHOULD FIRST READ THEM IN TOTAL, UNDERSTAND FULLY, GET THE ACCEPTANCE FROM LEARNED VEDIC SCHOLARS AND THEN ONLY CAN SAY NO TO THOSE VEDIC TRUTHS.

UNFORTUNATELY YOUR FRIEND IS LIKE A LITTLE FROG IN A SMALL POND. HE DOES NOT KNOW THE BIG OCEANS OF KNOWLEDGE. ALL THAT WE CAN SHOW SYMPATHY TO YOUR FRIEND, TALKING BIG THINGS WITH SMALL MOUTH. YOU NEED NOT WORRY WHETHER YOU ARE GOING TO HELL OR PURGATORY (
temporary naraka ), BUT LET HIM FIRST SAVE HIMSELF FROM THEM. JESUS NEVER SAID THAT HE IS GOD. HE WAS VERY HUMBLE IN SAYING THAT HE IS THE MESSENGER OF GOD, OR, SON OF GOD. BUT HE HIMSELF DOES NOT KNOW WHO THAT GOD IS. LORD IN VEDAS AND MANY PLACES DECLARED THAT NARAYANA IS 'GOD-SUPREME'.

ACCORDING VALMIKI, SABARI WAS A HUNTER LADY, LIVING IN THE HERMITAGE OF SAGE MATHANGA. HIS DISCIPLES WERE HER GURUS. THEY WERE TAKING CARE OF HER, SINCE HER CHILDHOOD. SHE WAS DOING SERVICE THERE TILL THEIR DEPARTURE. THEY INFORMED HER THAT Lord RAMA IS GOING TO VISIT THIS ASRAMAM AND THEIR GURU'S GREATNESS SHOULD BE EXPLAINED TO HIM. THOSE DISCIPLES OF SAGE MATHANGA SAID THEY ARE WERE NOT ABLE TO PROLONG THEIR LIFE TIME AND HENCE THEY WERE LEAVING THEIR BODIES. SABARI THUS INSTRUCTED BY HER GURUS WAITED FOR 13 LONG YEARS FOR LORD SRIRAMA TO COME
TO HER PLACE. ULTIMATELY HE AND HIS BROTHER LAKSHMANA VISITED THAT ASRAMAM. THEY HAD INTERACTION WITH HER AND WITH THEIR ACCEPTANCE, SHE LEFT THE BODY IN THE SELF-CREATED FIRE AND ACQUIRED A DIVINE BODY AND REACHED THE LOTUS FEER OF HER GURUS. THIS IS THE STORY AVAILABLE IN SRI RAMAYANAM.

THAT IS GOOD YOU HAVE REALIZED THAT YOU ARE IN THE POSSESSION OF THOSE QUALITIES WHICH ARE BAD. THIS IS STEP ONE. WHENEVER YOU KNOW SOME BAD IS WITH YOU, YOU ALWAYS TRY TO ELIMINATE IT. IF NOT IN PRIVACY, ATLEAST IN THE PUBLIC. THEN 2ND STEP STARTS. IF YOU HAVE BOSS IN THE OFFICE AND YOU ARE ONE AMONG MANY EMPLOYEES
IN HIS OFFICE. AND IF ONE CO-WORKER DID SOMETHING WRONG, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIRE HIM OR SHOWING A BURNING EYES TO HIM. BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE DECISSION MAKER OVER HIM. YOU RATHER CONTROL YOUR FEELING AND TRY TO BE GOOD WITH HIM TOO. HERE IS THE SOLUTION. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE THE BOSS, YOU TRY TO SHOW ANGER
ON ANYONE. OTHERWISE, YOU TRY TO TELL THEM NICELY. THIS STEP MAY BE TRIED FOR SOME TIME AND OBSERVE THE RESULT. THERE ARE MANY MORE STEPS OF COURSE, WHICH CANNOT BE DOWNLOADED FREE.

ANS: ALWAYS ELDEST OF THE FAMILY ONLY WAS ELIGIBLE, IF HE IS NOT OTHERWISE HANDICAPPED. TO OBSERVE THAT ONLY, BHARATHA DID NOT ACCEPT THE THRONE AND SUBSERVED THE PA:DUKAS, IN PLACE OF LORD SRI RAMA. WHEN HE CAME BACK, THE THRONE WAS GIVEN BACK. BECAUSE RAMA WAS NOT OTHEREWISE, HANDICAPPED.

DHRUTHA RA:SHTRA WAS BLIND. HENCE, HE LOST THE CHANCE OF RULING THE KINGDOM. PANDU ALSO WAS SUFFERING FROM ILL-HEALTH. YET, BECAUSE OF HIS VISION AND ABILITY, HE WAS GIVEN THE KINGDOM AND CROWN. AUTOMATICALLY, HIS CHILDREN GOT THE CHANCE OF BECOMING HEIRS.

BECAUSE OF PANDAVAS' OVER-KINDNESS AND DURYO:DHANA'S HIGH HANDEDNESS, KAURAVAS STARTED RULING THE KINGDOM. IN FACT, DURYO:DHANA WAS NEVER CONSIDERED AS KING AT ALL. AFTER PANDU'S DEMISE, DHRUTHARA:SHTRA WAS ONLY THE KING. YET, DURYO:DHANA, DECLARED HIMSELF AS THE KING, AS WAS STARTED MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS AS HE WAS THE
KING OF KINGS. "DURYO:DHANA SA:RVABHOUMA". HE WAS A ROWDY. HAVING A BIG GAND WITH HIM. HIS FATHER WAS SO MUCH FASCINATED TO HIS SON. HENCE, NO OTHER OPENED THEIR MOUTHS. INSPITE OF SOME ELDERS SAY SOMETHING GOOD, THEY NEVER CARED THOSE WORDS AT ALL.

ANS: WHEN GOD HIMSELF COMES DOWN DIRECTLY, WE CALL THEM AS ‘SA:KSHA:TH AVATHA:RAM’, LIKE KRUSHNA, RAMA, VAMANA, NARASIMHA ETC. THERE ARE SOMEMORE INCARNATION CALLED ‘AMSA AVATHARAMS’ ‘A:VE:SA AVATHA:RAM’ ETC., TAKE FOR SOME LITTLE PURPOSES. BALARAMA, PARASU RAMA ETC., ARE A:VE:SA AVATHA:RAMS. GOD IMPOSES HIMSELF ON THEM FOR SOME TIME AND AFTER FULFILING SOME WORK, HE WITHDRAWS HIM POWER AND THEY BECOME ORDINARY PERSONS ONLY. PARASURAMA AVATHARAM FOR SOME HORRIBLE PURPOSES. WHEREAS VEDA VYASA AVATHARAM ALSO A A:VE:SA AVATHARAM, FOR WRITING SOME PURANAMS, BRAHMA SUTRAMS ETC., CALLED AS ‘SAKTI A:VE:SA AVATHARAM’. INCARNATIONS LIKE MATSYA, KURMA ETC., ARE CONSIDERED AS AMSA AVATHARAMS OF GOD DIRECTLY, BUT NOT LIKE THAT OF RAMA ETC, THESE ARE ONLY FOR A VERY LIMITED PURPOSE.

OTHER THAN THESE HIS POWER WILL BE THERE IN ALL THE JIVAS ACCORDINGLY TO THEIR KARMA, HIS POWER IS PROVIDED. IT IS THE SAME EVEN WITH THE JIVAS LIKE BRAHMA, INDRA, RUDRA ETC., EVEN WITHIN US ALSO HE DWELLS. BUT OUR KARMA IS OF LOW GRADE AND BRAHMAS KARMA IS OF HIGH PURE KARMA. THIS IS LIKE ORIDINARY PETROL USED FOR NORMAL CARS; AND HIGHLY PURIFIED PETROL, USED FOR AEROPLANES OF HIGH QUALITY.

IN ONE SENCE, WE ARE ALSO SOME AVATHARAS OF GOD ONLY, RIGHT!!

JAI SRIMANNARAYANA!

You need not get mad after him. Rama was the son of a chakravarthi. He was provided with all sorts of luxaries with his father King Dasarath. You need not deprive him with those things. It was only during the period of his exile, his step-mother ordered him not to enjoy anything that is luxurious. So he observed austirities like a sage in the forest.

While he was in his kingdom during his childhood and after returning from the forest also he was having all sorts of princely wealths and facilities. So you need not yell at your friends that Rama was not having any paricharikas to serve him. All that you can say that he shared his life only with Sitha.

Jai Srimannarayana Sheelaji!

We have gone through your mail. Also observed the reply given to you by our Sri Vishnuji. It is nice.

In olden days Gods used to play with human beings. Probably to give a repartee, now a days human beings are playing with Gods. They stopped creating man and man started creating Gods.

In olden days, we used to hear few stories about Ganesa, that he was the son of Lord Siva & Parvithi, having two wives viz, Siddhi and Buddhi. But now a days, my god, it is unbelievable that Ganesa appearing in somany forms. Some, Lakshmi Ganapathi also appeared from some corner. We do not know when and where he came from. And also we do not know whether his parents know something about Lakshmi or not. All this type of writings are nothing but their own creations and ultimately they impose these things in puranas and say, that some Rishi has written them. We have sufficient evidences about our own gods, fortunately. So, you need not believe all the non-sence from x, y, z books.

Buddhism, though originally founded by Siddhardha for peace and non-violence, but at a later stage, people following started turning too violent, eating raw meat, even today we can see that. Anything that moves could be taken by them as food. That is one of the reasons.

Next reason is, they did not accept Vedic tradition as authority. If one does not accept vedic tradition, then there would not be any history to the nation left behind. People of this land accepted the history of Rama & Krishna etc., as their own. But when that was denied, they did not take the Buddhism to their heart. So we are vedic people.
Unfortunately, today this fact is in need to be understood.

Interesting questions you have.

Q) Did Ravana actually have 10 heads or is it an allegorical meaning ?
A) Ravana was having 10 heads. Though they were interpreted as 10 indriyas or organs of the body like sensory and vital organs, yet he was really also was having them.

Q) Which Treta Yuga did it take place ? I have heard it was in the 24th treta yuga.
A) 24th trethayuga was the rama's period. Right you are.

Q) Are Vanaaras, Rakshashas, etc are humans with different qualities or they actually different living entities?
A) Vanaras were having ability to have their own chosen from. Ka:maru:pa Dha:rana: sakthi. So they can take any form they want.

Jai Srimannarayana!
Vishwakse:na and Vina:yaka were not one and the same. Vishwakse:na appears just like Lord Na:ra:yana Himself. Colour will be ordinary not blue. Along with Sankha and Chakra he will be holding a long stick in his left hand and showing index finger with right hand, to fear all the evil powers. Several elephant headed (gaja mukhas) gana:dhipathis are in his force, to obey his instructions in removing the hurdles of Vishnu devotees. Vishwak Se:na is the whole and sole to look after the administration of the entire Universe and also the Paramapadam. Here is a verse says that

"vande: vaikuntta se:na:nyam, de:vam su:travathi:sakham |
yad ve:thra sikhara spande: viswam e:thath vyavasthitham ||"

Whatever draft he prepares with regard to running the vibhuties or Universes, will be accepted by Lord Srimannarayana, without any alteration or addition, it seems. A:lawanda:r Stho:tram reveals this in its verse
" priye:na se:na:pathina: nyave:di thath, thattha:nuja:nantham uda:ra vi:kshanaihi".

This is the greatness of Sri Vishwak Se:na. As Gajamukhas are somany in the Pariva:ra of Vishwak Se:na, in some occassions if devotees worship a Gajamukha in the place of Vishwakse:na, as a representative of him, will also be accepted. Because all the pariva;ra:s pass on the result to their boss always.

But then that Gajamukha will be having four hands with sankha and chekra and also with U;rdhwa pundram on his fore-head. There may not be rats as his chariot. These Gajamukhas are not mu:shika Va:hanas. We are sure you understood the subject.

In Tamil there are no many a letter. They have to be adjusted for somany other sounds. Hence there will be some problem in fixing up the usage of particular sound to a particular letter. 'ka' may be pronounced as 'kha' , 'ga' and 'gha' also. You need to choose your own sound from that letter. So also here with the word Venkata. If you take this word as a Tamil word you can pronounce either 'vekata' or 'vengada' makes no difference. If you take the word as a sanskrit word then it should be 've:nkata' only.

For Tamil one, the meaning was already given by Nammalwar as, 'kadangal ve:m' kadangal=unavoidable debts like karmas, which soul carries along with it, which should be otherwise experienced without any hesitation, will be, ve:m=burnt to ashes, when one surrenders unto Him.

In sanskrit the meaning was given in a different way like 've:m' = all the links with one's own sins, 'kata=will be cut off in total, to one, who surrenders to Him.

Jai Srimannarayana!

According to Sri va:lmi:ki Ra:ma:yana, there is no mention about Sri:ra:ma's worship to Lord Siva. Lord Siva appeared before Sri:ra:ma, after the death of Ra:vana, along with all the other De:vathas. And then Lord Siva praised Sri:ra:ma as the Ultimate Supreme Lord to all the Ji:vas. And there only, he suggested Sri:ra:ma to go back to Ayo:dhya and bless
the Bharatha and others for some time and come back to the Divine abode, when all the De:vathas requested Sri:ra:ma to come back to Divine Abode, because Ra:vana was killed. This shows the concern that Lord Siva has towards the Lord. That is all mentioned about him. It was Tulasi Das who made somany inter-polations about other dieties and also he made his own story about Srira:ma in his Ra:macharitha Ma:nasa book. He is the one who made the story of Ra:me:swaram in his book. But it is not authentic sofar as Ra:ma's history is concerned.

We always treat Sri RA:MA:YANA as our ancient history and not just an epic or a pura:na. History means 'that has to be accepted as it is without any changes or additions'. Sri RA:MA:YANA & SRIMATH MAHA:BHA:RATHA are our historic books, but not pura:na:s or epics. Sri Tulasidas also made mistakes in this regard. This made so many people to think about
Srira:ma's worship to Lord Siva.

There is one place in Va:lmi:ki Ra:ma:yana, where the name"Maha:de:vaha" mentioned. People give the meaning to that word as Lord Siva, which is wrong there. The context is 'Ra:ma returning from Lanka in the Pushpaka Vima:nam, along with Sitha and other subjects. Sri Ra:ma was explaining the events and places to Sitha from the areal view. While crossing
the Ocean, He was showing the bridge, constructed by the Va:naras and said how that was built and so on. When the flight reached the other end of the Sea, then He said "Athra pu:rvam Maha:de:vah prasadam akaro:th Prabhuhu" it means "O Sitha! when we wanted to cross the ocean, it was here only, Maha:de:vah= The God of Sea, Varunade:va, appeared and blessed us with the means as and how can we build the bridge". Here the word Maha:de:vah is wrongly interpreted by somany. In fact, there was no Siva appeared during their sojourn to Lanka.

Some people say that after killing the Ra:vana, Ra:ma was possessed by Brahma Hatya Dosha ( A greater sin captures by killing a brahmin)and to get rid of that sin he consecrated the Siva Linga at Ra:me:swaram. This is again a false story created without any authority. If Ra:ma is captured by the sin, by killing a Demon, who did all non-sense, then no one
will dare to punish wicked. By punishing a wicked person, no one will be captured by sins. And Ra:ma never felt sorry for killing Ra:vana and He never wanted to do any Pra:yaschitta (purification act) for that act.

You may read Sri Va:lmi:ki Ra:ma:yana, whenever it is possible. You can take it granted any event, which goes in accordance with that only. If something goes against to that you need not ask anybody and think it is a story created by the writer according to his own wish.

WHEN YOU UTTER NAMES WITH DIFFERENT QUALITIES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FORMS. THE SANSKRIT WORD "BHE:DA" CREATED ALL THIS TROUBLE. PEOPLE NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE RIGHT MEANING OF THIS WORD, MADE EVERY THING MESS. BHE:DA=DIFFERENCE; BHE:DA=CLASH, THERE IS NO CLASH BETWEEN THE DE;VATHAS. BUT THERE IS A VERY CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL THE DE:VATHAS. EACH ONE OF THEM HAVE THEIR OWN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THE INNER FORCE TO ALL OF THEM IS THE NARAYANA ONLY. SO THEY CAN BE CALLED AS DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE SAME POWER. IN THAT WAY YOU CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE ALL ONE TOO. THE INNER POWER CAN ALSO BE CALLED WITH THE NAME OF THOSE DE:VATHAS ALSO. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, SRI RAMA NEVER WORSHIPED LORD SIVA, ACCORDING TO SRI RAMAYANAM. HE DID NOT CONSECRATE RAMESWARAM. THIS IS A MADE UP STORY. ANYTHING RELATED TO SRI RAMA, WILL BE ACCEPTED IF VALMIKI RAMAYANA MENTIONS THAT.

ONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE STORY OF SRI RA:MA AS A HUMAN BEING. SO HE NEEDS TO GO TO A GURU AND LEARN STRICTLY ACCORDING TO THE HUMAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS. WHEREAS ONE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT LORD KRISHNA IS NOT A HUMAN BEING. HE CAME TO SHOW AS AND HOW GOD WOULD BE. SO HE, IN FACT, DOES NOT NEED TO GO TOANY GURU AND LEARN ANYTHING. YET, HE ALSO APPROACHED GARGA:CHARYA WHILE HE WAS YOUNG AND APPROACHED SA:NDI:PANI FOR 64 DAYS TO JUST UNDERSTAND WHAT THE 64 KALAS ARE. IT IS ONLY TO SAY THAT ANYONE NEEDS A GURU. THAT IS ALL.

Measuring the time was so great by our vedic people. You can read the 4 & 5 canto of Srimad Bhagavatham, where the creation of time was mentioned.

THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC VE:DA BHA:GAS THAT ONE SHOULD KNOW, AS SUCH. IT DEPENDS UPON, WHAT ONE REQUIRES. IF ONE WANTS TO PERFORM SANDHYA VANDANAM, THOSE MANTHRAS MAY BE LEARNT. IF ONE WANTS PITRU KARMAS TO BE
PERFORMED THEY MAY BE LEARNT. SOME MORE MANTHRAS FOR SOME OTHER PURPOSES VIZ., PANCHA SU:KTHAS, UPANISHADS, NAMAKAM, CHAMAKAM, ARUNAM ETC., ANYTHING TO LEARN MEANS "WHY" "HOWMUCH" ETC., QUERRIES MUST BE KNOWN.

VEDAS ARE BEGINNING-LESS ( ANA:DI) ONLY. UPANISHADS ALSO BECOME A PART OF VE:DA ONLY. THE STORIES WE USUALLY HEAR IN THEM, WILL BE REPEATED IN EVERY MANVANTHARAM AND IN EVERY CREATION. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS
EVENTS MAY CHANGE. PEOPLE IN THOSE POSTS WOULD BE THE SAME. VASISHTTA, VYA:SA, PARA:SARA ETC, ARE ACTUALLY THE POSTS IN WHICH SOME BLESSES SOULS TAKE BODIES AND DO SOME SERVICE TO THE LITERATURE FOR FUTURE GENERTIONS TO KNOW.

IT SEEMS KALKI AVATHARA COMES AT THE END OF EACH KALIYUGA, ACCORDING TO THE SRIMATH BHAGAVATHAM. HOW IT COMES AND WHAT IT DOES IS DESCRIBED IN BHAGAVATHAM. THIS MAY HAPPEN IN EACH KALIYUGA IT APPEARS. BASING ON THAT ONLY THE GREAT SAGE VEDA VYASA WRITTEN ABOUT THE APPEARANCE OF KALKI AVATHARAM. 71 KALI YUGAS WILL BE REPEATED IN EACH MANVANTHRA. WE ARE IN 28TH KALIYUGA. SO, KALKI AVATHARA MIGHT HAVE COME 27 TIMES ALREADY, ACCORDING TO THE PURANAM.

JAI SRIMANNARAYANA

DREAMS ARE THE RESULTS OF OUR PREVIOUS KARMAS, CREATED BY GOD ONLY. IF THEY ARE GOOD, REMEMBER THAT GOD IS ALLOWING SOME GOOD KARMAS TO BE CONSUMED. IF ONE GETS BAD DREAMS, THEN GOD IS REMOVING SOME BAD KARMAS FROM THE STORE ROOM. THEY MAY LEAD TO SOME RESULT, ON WHICH YOU NEED NOT THINK MUCH AND BOTHER YOU, BUT HE HAPPY THAT GOD ALLOWED YOU TO REDUCE SOME LOAD OF KARMAS.


IN BHAGAVAD GITHA LORD KRISHNA CLEARLY SAID 'MATTHAS SMRUTHIR JNA:NAM APO:HANAM CHA' WHICH MEANS FROM ME ALONE, NEW THINGS ARE KNOWN BY ONE, ALREADY KNOWN THINGS ARE RECOLLECTED AND SOMETHING KNOWN IS ALSO FORGOTTEN. ALL THESE ARE UNDER LORD'S CONTROL ONLY.

FOR SOME PEOPLE GOD SHOWS CERTAIN THINGS JUST BEFORE THEY MIGHT OCCUR. THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE CALL AS DIVINE VISION. SOME PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GUESS THE FUTURE EXACTLY, BECAUSE OF THE LORD'S GRACE. A FEW PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER GOD BEHIND AND WILL BE GREATFUL TO HIM, BUT MANY FORGET GOD BEHIND AND POSE AS IF THEY ARE
GODS. THEN THE PROBLEM STARTS. DIVINE VISION IF GIVEN BY GOD, BE HAPPY AND APPRECIATE THE GRACE OF GOD ON YOU.

DREAMS ARE THE CREATIONS OF GOD, TO CONSUME OUR PAST KARMAS OF CERTAIN CATEGORY. KARMAS ARE DIVIDED INTO 3 CATEGORIES. BIG, MID AND SMALL. BIG ARE ENJOYED IN THE EXTERNAL WORLD, WHETHER THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD. ALL MID WILL BE SENT FOR STORE ROOM, FOR NEXT BIRTH. SMALL WILL BE ALLOWED FOR DREAMS TO BOTHER AND CONSUME. THEY ARE NOT UNDER OUR CONTROL BUT UNDER GODS CONTROL. THEY ARE AS REAL AS THE EXTERNAL WORLD. THEY WILL CERTAINLY FORETELL ABOUT FEW THINGS. BUT NOT NECESSARILY AS WE HAVE SEEN THEN. YOU MAY SEE SOMETHING, IT MIGHT APPEAR IN SOME OTHER FORM IN THE WORLD. LIKE, YOU SEE THE CLOUDS AND IT RAINS LATER. THUS YOU PREDICT THAT CLOUDS ARE THE INDICATORS FOR RAIN. LIKE THAT, SOME SCEENS YOU SEE
DURING DREAMS, YOU EXPERIENCE SOMETHING, FOR YOU HAVE CONSUMED SOME PORTION OF THE KARMA. AS WE ARE NOT CREATORS OF THE EXTERNAL WORLD, SO ALSO THE INNER WORLD. AS WE CAN MANIPULATE ONLY SOME PORTION OF THE EXTERNAL WORLD, SO ALSO BY DOING SOME SADHANA, WE ALSO CAN MANIPULATE SOME PORTIONS OF THE KARMAS AND AVOID EVIL EFFECTS OF DREAMS. SOME DREAMS ARE TO BE CARED AND SOME HAVE TO BE IGNORED.
YOU ARE BLESSED FOR SEEING LORD IN YOUR DREAMS. IT SHOWS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET SOMETHING GOOD. BE HAPPY. WHEN YOU ARE SEEN SMALL, IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE UNNECESSARILY FEELING THAT YOU ARE GREAT, AND HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE REALLY NOT. APPLY IT TO THE EVENTS YOU ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE. OK!

YADAGIRI GUTTA IS A 100 KM DISTANCE TEMPLE FROM HYDERABAD. LORD LAKSHMI NARASIMHA IS THERE IN FIVE FORMS. ONE AMONG THEM IS GANDA BHERUNDA NARASIMHA SWAMY. THIS FORM IS NOT CLEARLY VISIBLE TO THE VISITING DEVOTEES AS THIS IS UNDER A STONE. LORD HERE IT SAYS, IS A SELF-INCARNATED ONE. THERE IN THAT TEMPLE
HE IS WORSHIPPED ACCORDING TO SRI PANCHARATRA ONLY NOT IN TANTRIC WAY OF WORSHIP.

Jai Srimannarayana!

We are happy for your interest to know about sage Viswamithra. There were no many viswamitras, like other sages. Only one was there, who was highly praised by Sage Valmiki.

When you talk about the age, in those days they used to live long, like thousands of years. It was not a big issue in those days at all. Sumanthra the minister of Dasaraddha, Ravana, Vasishta etc., were living even in Krutha Yuga.
So also Viswamithra. Now a days, we people started comparing with our own knowledge and age and experience, which is wrong.

Another Lo:ka created for Trisanku by the same Viswamithra, who was having enimity earlier with Sage Vasishta. Menaka met with the same Sage, yes!
To his own credit he made penance for thousands of years on each corner of this country. He met with different issues on each of these corners. But he was the same Sage.

Rama belongs to Surya Vamsa. After Rama, approximately 32 generations were continuing. Then there may be some gap. During Rushabha Deva again the Chandra Vamsa started in Ayodhya. This might have started after a few lakhs of years,
when dwapara yuga was started.
Some people say that yugas go in some thousands. Even that is wrong. They go in 4:3:2:1 ratio, which altogether come to 43,20,000 years. The size of human beings also was not as we see them today. Recently, some skeleton found in North
Indian Desert was so amazingly huge, may be between 30 to 50 feet height. There was some record also found along with it, which was not totally revealed by the Govt. but says that they were interacting with brahma and Siva etc. we try to
put that available information for you soon.

So people living for thousands of years was not a great thing in those days. Finally, it was the same sage Viswamithra, who was mentioned in all the episodes you have memtioned and he lived for many a year, before and after Rama.

He did not appear in Ramayana after Rama's marriage, but he was there. We are not sure whether Viswamithra's mention was there anywhere in Lord Venkateswara's History?

God appears in different forms. Each form helps in some way or the other. Rama is the replica of humane qualities and if one worships His, that person develops humane qualities. Lord Krishna is the replica of divine qualities and to His
worshippers He blesses divine qualities. Lord Siva also several occasions sought the help of these incarnations. You can see that in Sri Ramayana, after the killing of Ravana. All the devathas appeared before Rama and one among was Lord
Siva, who praised Srirama as the saviour of the wise and punisher of wicked. We can see this in all most all the incarnations. People with no knowledge and having love towards Lord Siva, spread such wrong stories. One can definitely worship Lord Siva, at the same time, they should not create wrong stories against incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Somany big big people are trying to do this
in recent decades. Remember, Lord Rama & Krishna teach us as and how to face the problematic situations, yet how to maintain equilibrium. You may remember our githa jyothi, suthras 'worship your own..respect all'. If this is understood, then there won't be any wicked thoughts like this. =Chinnajeeyar=

YOU MUST HAVE MISTAKEN MY FRIEND, IN UNDERSTANDING THE KARMA THEORY. KARMA, IS ONE'S OWN RESPONSIBILITY, ORDAINED BY GOD, COMES BY BIRTH. WHATEVER THE WORK ASSIGNED, SHOULD BE DONE WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF HESITATION, DEDICATING THE RESULTS TO GOD. THAT BECOMES KAINKARYAM, IF EXECUTED WITH LOVE. FISHING TO THE RECENT TSUNAMI VICTIMS, KILLING THE INNER BACTERIA TO A DOCTOR, OFFERING FLOWERS TO GOD BY A PRIEST ETC.,ARE ALL CARRY THE SAME WEIGHT. MANY DUTIES ARE LIKE THIS. IF ONE IS SUFFERING FROM ANY PROBLEM, DUTY OF A PERSON
WITH HEART, IS TO HELP. THIS IS JUST HUMANITY. IF ONE IS CHARITABLE, HELPING WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION, WILL BE THE PRIMARY DUTY, LET OTHER MAY BE ANYONE. THIS IS CHARITY.

NOW, YOU CAN IMAGINE, THE DUTY OF A RELIGIOUS OR A SPIRITUAL PERSON, FOR, HIS PLANE IS HEIGHER THAN THE ABOVE, HIS HEART MEALTS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
NOW, WHEN YOU ARE ATTACHED TO THE RESULT, THEN THERE IS NO POINT IN PUTTING YOUR EFFORTS, ALL THAT YOU TRY TO FIND OUT WHO IS SMART IN BRINGING YOU THE MEDAL, RANK ETC., IF NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE OPEN MARKET. A SPIRITUAL MAN WON'T DO THAT. HE NEVER EXPECTS NOR DEMANDS FOR TEMPORARY RESULTS.

FISHER MEN ARE THE KARMA YOGIS. THEY DID NOT DEMAND FOR ANYTHING. WORLD STARTED HELPING THEM ON HUMANITARION GROUNDS, YOU AND ME DO THIS WITH THE SPIRITUAL MIND, DEDICATING TO GOD.

FOR THE SAKE OF SLOKA, IT IS MENTIONED 'NARAYANAYETHI SAMARPAYAMI'. TO AVOID CONFUSION FURTHER, THEY ADDED THAT NARAYANA IS NOT SINGLE ONE BUT 'SRIMANNARAYANAYETHI...' OF COURSE, NARAYANA IS ALWAYS 'SRIMAN' ONLY. WHEN THAT
CONCEPT INCARNATED BECAME 'KRISHNA' TO WE OFFER TO HIM EVERYTHING.

THE STORIES OF CHANDAMAMA NEED NOT BE TAKEN AS EXACT STORIES OF THE PURANAM.

LORD IN HIS DIVINE ABODE IS CALLED AS PARA-VASUDEVA OR SRIMANNARAYANA. WHEN HE STARTS THE CREATING HE TAKES THE NAME AS VISHNU, ALONG WITH BRAHMA & SIVA. BUT WHEN EVER THE TIME COMES TAKES INCARNATIONS. IN THAT PROCESS, ONE INCARNATION AMONG THEM WAS LORD KRISHNA, WHO IS VERY NEAR TO US. SO WE DEDICATE AT THE END
TO HIM, AS HE ASKED THAT FROM US IN BHAGAVAD GITHA IN 9TH CHAPTER. INCARNATIONS FROM KRISHNA, AS EXPLAINED BY ISCON, IS NOT ACCEPTED BY OUR ACHARYAS. EVEN AUTHENTIC PURANAS ALSO WERE NOT IN TUNE TO THAT CONCEPT. THIS HAS BEEN EXPLAINED IN BRAHMA VAIVARTHA PURANAM, WHICH WAS CONSIDERED AS A THAMASA PURANAM. SO YOU
NEED NOT TAKE THE PORTIONS OF THAT, WHICH GO AGAINST TO SRIMAD BHAGAVATHAM, BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST AUTHENTIC ONE. IN THAT BHAGAVATHAM, ISCON PEOPLES STAND WAS NOT SUPPORTED.

YOUR POINT IS CORRECT. CRITICAL BOONS WERE ASKED BY HIRANYA KASIPU ONLY NOT HIS BROTHER HIRANYAKSHA. YET BOTH THE BROTHERS MADE LORD TO APPEAR IN TWO APPEARANCES. AND BOTH THE AVATHARAS ARE PECULIAR. BHOOVARAHA AND NARASIMHA. THAT IS THE REASON BOTH THE BROTHERS ARE CONSIDERED AS A SINGLE UNIT. SO NO MATTER WHETHER YOUNGER OR ELDER ASKED THE BOON. BOTH MADE THE LORD TO PUT A LITTLE OF HIS EFFORT FOR THEM. IN FACT, HIRANYA KASIPU TURNED VOILENT ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS BROTHERS DEATH ONLY. FOR ATTACKING SRIHARI ONLY HE ASKED ALL THOSE BOONS, THAT MAY BE THE REASON PEOPLE STARTED CREATING A PROVERB AS “HIRANYAKSHA VARALU”.

WHENEVER LORD APPEARS, MOTHER ALSO TAKES A FORM TO APPEAR ALONG WITH HIM. MOSTLY LAKSHMI ONLY COMES. FOR VARAHA APPEARANCE ONLY WIFE BHOODEVI OCCUPIED THE PLACE, BECAUSE THAT APPEARANCE ITSELF WAS ONLY FOR HER SAKE. WHEN LAKSHMI COMES, OTHERS TAKE SOME FORM TO HELP HER. THERE IS NO QUESTION ON ROLE THEY PLAY, FOR ALL RELATIONSHIPS TO THEM ARE ESTABLISHED WITH HIM ONLY.

JAI SRIMANNARAYANA !

RE BIRTH MEANS DO YOU THINK THAT A SOUL AFTER LEAVING THE HUMAN BODY, AGAIN TAKES ONLY HUMAN BODY? NO. THERE IS NO SUCH RULE THAT A SOUL FROM A HUMAN BODY SHOULD TAKE A HUMAN BODY ONLY. DEPENDING ON THE PAST ACCUMULATED KARMAS THAT SOUL MAY TAKE ANY FORM OF BODY, MAY BE A DIVINE BODY, AN ANIMAL BODY OR AN INSECT BODY OR SOMETHING ELSE. IN FACT, TO TAKE ANOTHER BODY IT TAKES NO TIME. IMMEDIATELY IT HAPPENS. IT IS LIKE CHANGING FROM ONE VEHICLE TO THE OTHER BY A PASSENGER.

GETTING MOKSHA MEANS ULTIMATE LIBERATION FROM KARMIC BONDAGE HAPPENS ONLY BY THE DIVINE GRACE OF ALMIGHTY SUPREME LORD NARAYANA ! AND THAT GRACE FALLS ON US BY THE RECOMMENDATION DONE BY THE GURU. HENCE, GURU’S GRACE IS MORE IMPORTANT.
