SC: Pranam Swamiji, I went through your Brahmcharya book, to certain extent some of your books on Veda’s message. I have one doubt, actually my parents have found a girl for me, and will be marrying that girl this December. And I am the person who believes that, wife is a Mahalakshmi, and she has great responsibility, thus believe that its better that she stays at home and take care of the family, and raise a kid than working outside. The reason I feel that is I have seen many friends and their families where there wife work, and there home does not carry that atmoshphere of home. So if I try to understand the women perspective, I feel that I am kind of forcing her or suppressing her desire and taking away her independence. So please tell me what should I do. I am the person who does two times Sandya, and pooja everyday, this same antaratma tells me my thinking is right, just want to get more opinion of Jnani like you. Please give your advice. Hari Om.
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you. Yes, no doubt, wife is Mahalakshmi. So, before marriage, you may exchange your views with the girl, her parents and your parents. Secondly, I have written a book named Vedas- A Divine light Part-III wherein duties of husband and wife entrusted by Vedas are given in detail. It can be sent on receipt of your postal address, if you desire.
You are also advised that both of you i.e., girl and you should go through the book.

If a person like you, want to make wife as housewife then you should be aware of your monthly income, which should be sufficient to feed requirement of your family including your wife, within the income. I mean to say, wife and husband should always be satisfied with their earnings and should not look up at others who are more rich. Satisfaction is also the greatest quality which should be acquired. In the end, you should also talk to give about both times sandhya to perform along with you after marriage.

Vikram: Please send me the book on Sandhya Mantra.
Swami Ram Swarup: Book is being sent to you, please.

Upendra: Please send me Brahamacharya ek dukh nivarak divya mani.
Swami Ram Swarup: Book is being sent to you, please.

R: Swamiji, Please meri madad kijiye. Maine aapni padhai London se ki hai aur mera qualification bahut hi ache subject mein hai. Pehle main Jahan Bhi jobs apply karti thi, Mujhe hamesha success mila. Par abhi main INDIA wa wapas aa chuki hoon. Meri Shaadi hua ek saal ho
raha hai. Mere Jaatak mein hai ki mera Saade saati shani chal raha hai . Par mera nature itna dynamic hai, mujhe kabhi bhi job milne mein problem nahin hui par ab main jahan bhi apply kar rahi hoon , sab ko mera experience pasand to aata hai, par mujhe job milne main kaafi rukavatein aa rahi hai. Mera Peechle job mein kaafi problems the, maine jahan bhi kaam kiya hai wahan main head of the dept rah chuki hoon. I lost my previous job aur uske baad se mujhe job milne mein
kaafi problems ho rahe hai. Please swamiji meri madad kariye. Kya ye kisi black magic ke karan
mujhe rukawat aa raha hai? Kyunki mere bahi ke saath bhi kuch aisa hi ho raha hai. MAIN bahut hi udas aur depressed mahsoos kar rahi hoon thanks in advance
Swami Ram Swarup:Jeewan mein jo bhi obstacle aati hain weh pichle janamon ke karann
ke prabhav se bhi aatee hain. Us burey karmon ke prabhav ko khatam karne ke liye Bhagwan nein vedon mein yeh samjhaya hai ki ved vidya sunnee chahiye aur Ishwar naam “Om” ka roz jaap karein:- Iske ilawa nimnalikhit karya karein:-

Shubh Karma

Hard working, devotion, dedication, honesty, services to the parents and elders to follow eternal religion mentioned in Vedas, practice of Ashtang Yoga, discharging moral duties to get progress in education, science simultaneously with spiritualism like, daily havan, to be in contact with the learned Acharya, to get his advice, are some of the pious deeds which make the future bright and obliterate the sorrows, problems, diseases, etc.

One must wake up early in the morning for early morning walk and exercises, must sit on meditation and chant holy name of God, must be away from any addiction and non-vegetarian. Such pious actions lead to long, happy life and bright future.
GAYATRI MANTRA

The Gayatri mantra is as follows —

OM BHURBHUVAHA SWAHA TATA SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGODEVASYA
DHIMAHI DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODYAT

Meaning of Gayatri mantra stating each word is as follows. Its meaning is based on
Vedas and Sanskrit grammar. Grammatical hints are in short please.

Om has three Hindi words. Aa, Uu AND Ma. Aa is meant for Aakaar from which three
names of God are built, Viraat, Agni, and Vishwadi. From Uu = uukar from which
Hirannyagarbha, Vayu and Tejas names occur and Ma = makaar from which Ishwar,
Aditya and Praajyan aadi, holy names of God occur. Rigveda mantra 1/164/46 says
God is one but His names are several. But here OM the holy name of God is only
being explained.

VIRAAT = Viraat word is made from dhatu ‘Rajrideeptau’ i.e., manifest. Therefore
Viraat means He who manifests the universe. As God manifests the universe, thus
Viraat is the name of God. Rigveda mandal 10, sukta 1r9 states that like potter
makes pot from clay, similarly God creates universe from non-alive matter prakriti.
Prakriti is unseen matter. From unseen matter, the whole universe is created in the
visible form. Science also says that matter is never destroyed but changes its form.
Suppose a paper is burnt, paper changes its form into ashes. Then ashes are crushed
and thrown in air. At this moment, the paper changed into ashes becomes invisible
but was never destroyed. Similarly the whole universe at the time of final destruction
is turned into prakriti i.e., into unseen form.

AGNI = From dhatu, “ANCHU GATI POOJANAYOHO” the word “AGNI is made. Its
meaning is: He who is a form of wisdom. “SARVAJAYEN” i.e., Omniscient. That is,
knows each and every atom of universe and even beyond universe. He who is to be
known, to be gained and is worshipful. So Agni is the name of God.
%3br>
VISHWA = Vishwa word is made from dhatu, “VISHPRAVESHANE”. Its meaning is He
in whom the universe is entering or He who is entering the universe. So being
omnipresent, Vishwa is the name of God.

HIRANNYAGARBHA = i.e., ” JYOTIRVAYIHIRANYAM”. Its meaning is, who is the base
of all sun, etc., luminous lokas or He who is the living place of all luminous lokas.
VAYU = from dhatu, “VA GATIGANDHANYOHO”, vayu word is made. Its meaning is
He who holds, gives life and destroys and is the mightiest amongst all. So the name
of God is Vayu.

TEJ = from dhatu, “TIJA NISHANE”, the word Tej is made meaning He who is self
made and self-enlightened and gives light to sun, moon, stars etc. God does not take
light from anywhere but gives light to sun, moon, stars, etc. so the unbroken,
unobstructed/unproduced and eternal form of light is Almighty God and not sun,
moon etc. So the name of God is Tej.

ISHWAR = from dhatu, “ISH ASHWERIYE”, the word Ishwar is made. Its meaning is
whose knowledge is thoughtful and true and He who has unlimited wealth, fortune
and glory etc. Therefore the name of God is Ishwar. Here it is not out of place to
mention that soul (man/woman) has limited qualities and are dependent whereas
God is independent and has unlimited qualities that is why He is God.

ADITYA = from dhatu, “DO AVAKHANDANE”, Aditya word is made. Its meaning is the
one who cannot be broken into pieces and thus cannot be destroyed. So God’s name
is Aditya.

PRAJAYEN (PRAGYA) = from dhatu, “JYEN AVABODHANE”, Prajayen word is made
meaning whose wisdom is totally withoutkany misunderstanding and thus he who
knows every matter and behavior of whole universe without misunderstanding. So
God’s name is Prajayen. So here also it is not out of place to mention that illusion
can never attack on God and God is totally free from illusion.

BHUHU = “BHUHU ITI VAYEE PRANAHA” i.e., He who is the base of lives of universe,
is most beloved, even more than Prann i.e., breath. So Bhuhu is the name of God.

BHUVAHA= “BHUVAHA ITI APANAHA” i.e., He who is totally free from any sorrow,
and the soul removes his own all sorrows after coming in contact with Him. So the
name of God is Bhuvaha.

SWAHA = i.e., “SWAHA ITI VYANAHE” who is omnipresent in the universe and is
holding the same. So the name of God is Swaha.

SAVITUHU = He who creates the universe. So the name of God is Savituhu.

DEVSYA= who gives all pleasure/merrimen4, so the name of God is Dev.

VARENNYAM = He who is the most supreme and acceptable. God is most supreme
and acceptable for worship.

BHARGAHA = the purest entity (though God is formless, but finding no suitable
English word of Sanskrit word, “SHUDH SWARUPAM” the word entity has been used.)

TAT = i.e., the God i.e., of the purest entity.

DHIMAHI = i.e., we must hold (sort of meditation) because

YAHA = the God

NAHA = our,

DHIYAHA = mind(i.e., in our minds)

PRACHODYAT = by inspiration (fulfil the mind with wisdom)

MEANING
“We meditate the God who is the base of lives’ of universe, totally free from any sorrow, omnipresent, creates the universe, gives all pleasure/merriment, most supreme and acceptable, purest entity; May the God enlighten our minds with wisdom by His inspiration”.

Here it is not out of place to mention that idea of a (one) Ved mantra is based on ideas of several Ved mantras. So in the above Gayatri mantra, there are three things —-

Bhuhu, Bhuvaha, Swaha, Savituhu, Bhargaha, Devsya are some qualities amongst unlimited qualities of God. These are called Stuti i.e., to say about God with His real qualities and not self made etc.

Secondly Dhimahi means meditation i.e., one should always sit in meditation and do hard and pious deeds for which he will have to study Vedas in full, while discharging moral duties towards family and nation.
Third and last is DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODYAT. It is a prayer to God explanation of which is cited above.

HOW TO DO HAVAN

Please sit in the morning to perform havan. Havan must be in sunlight then it is more beneficial. Then half a bowl of fresh water with a tablespoon must be with you with small twigs especially of mango tree if possible, havan samagri, ghee, camphor and match box must be there with you. Please sit on sukh asan on four times folded blanket and blanket must be on mat.

Sukh asan i.e., sit on duly folded feet in comfortable position. Then first close your eyes and concentrate between two eyebrows and c(ant Gayatri mantra three times within heart and not by mouth. Then open your eyes.

Take one spoon of water in right palm. Chant this mantra, OM AMRITO UPASTRANMASI SWAHA and drink the water which you have put in your palm. Then again take the spoon of water in right palm then chant the next mantra, OM AMRITA APIDHANMASI SWAHA, and drink the water. Then again take the water in right palm and chant the mantra, OM SATYAM YASHAH SHRI MAYI SHRI SHRAYTAAM SWAHA, and drink the water. Then wash the right palm while sitting, with the same water kept in bowl.

Then put the twigs into havan kund with one piece of camphor and burn it. During this process chant the Gayatri mantra again and again till such time the fire is lighted sufficiently. Then chant the Gayatri mantra and at the last add the word Swaha and offer ghee with tablespoon, quantity equivalent to 4 to 5 drops. And if you are alone then also offer in fire pinch of havan samagri from your right hand’s finger and thumb avoiding forefinger. So this offering may be of 11 times, 21 times or 51 times as the time suits. It is the simplest way and I have not quoted the complete method of Yajna. The havan with Ved mantras are always offered as the best worship of God only please. Do havan daily and both times.

Kuchh vedic pustakein bhi padnee chahiye, swadhyaye ka punnya hota
hai.
