Love the potato chip analogy! Thank you, Swamiji. May all beings wake up from the deep sleep of ignorance and find ultimate peace. Om Shanti.❤🙏🏼

[Pallasathena-hvkp]

Pranam, Swami! 🙏 I really appreciate that you are willing to hone in on the truth. Also, your answers, in a direct manner are wrapped in common sense and courtesy. Certain topics are tip-toed around instead of answered head on. Thank you for being willing to answer these awkward questions. I don’t mind the soapbox talking too much either. 👍

(It may be well past due to say some things out loud.)

[Mayapu]

Thank you for controlled yet open talk about consciousness. Best Regards

Thanks Swamiji for your insightful sessions. Have gained a lot from your videos and satsang sessions in last few months.

Will miss your satsang next week as it is the best source of Vit D (Vitamin Divine ).

In God there is no exception,
For you always were,
For you always are,
And you always will KD

Prayers such as at the end of this Q&A are in recognition of the Universal truth and in seeing the "Parental Cause" within all beings.

[dardardragon]

Swamiji, Thank you so much for your wisdom and humorous metaphors. Really love the chips metaphor, religion as cultural package and the insight about prayer. Toward the end of the talk, this thought came to me, maybe I don’t know how to do a proper prayer. Would you talk about how to do a prayer in one of the sessions? 🙏

Hi! I have this Precept which is...
Knowledge Practice Experience
basically it is an essential way to live and die, that is if I still can have the self in me materially or immaterially.
My issue is that this modern world we live in is tied to limit us in doing things for vital living. How must I intend and devote myself in regards to releasing entanglements swiftly like getting out of trouble or traffic without or with less obstacles?

Before the precept above is this Precept i made is...
'Read Know Understand' for inward process with the principle to record what I Perceived to myself and to others and the purpose is that so I can Draw, Apply and Comprehend the attributes and aspects of being me and others, so that the product of this protocol is to be graceful, harmonious and enlightening to both thus fear, ignorance, and illiteracy of relationship will conquered itself.

[TIRHUTIAMEDIA]

If American Acharya/Swamiji can learn Sanskrit; why not the Hindus of Bharat try to learn it. All our sastras and knowlege of 7000 are written in Sanskrit for us.

Why cannot we read original Balmiki Ramayan in Sanskrit.
