Anonymous: My mother has lost her cool and has become abusive towards all of us. My father has lost his faith. He used to be very devoted towards Hanumanji but he has lost his faith on God.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you all, my daughter. Really, it is a troublesome matter for you and I am also worried to read all about your mother. Still you see all this happens due to previous lives’ deeds. So, in the matter of faith we have to solve all the problems with knowledge and not with worried mind or in sorrowful condition. We should also not worry about neighbours or others that what would they think, since everybody should be away from praise and criticism. Then we may be able to solve the problem with peace of mind. We should also never be angry with mother and should solve the matter always with peace of mind and knowledge because she is facing the result of her past deeds and with all love we must try to remove the effect of her deeds.

Anonymous: Swami Ji, Thanks for your practical and logical response. Need your perspective on the following challenges that I am facing. I have been very blessed by god thus far, however, I am taking a State board exam, which I took last friday and I did not perform very well. I analyzed why and it seems to me that it was two reasons. I got very nervous and also, was not thinking correctly to solve problems. I will work hard to control this 2 things, However, wanted find out if god plays any role in this type of situation. I have been working hard for the exam. If I dont pass, how do I figure out if it is my fault or is it due to my previous karma or something else ? Thank you very much.God bless.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. You are welcome, please. Karmas theory is this that previous lives’ bad deeds/sins are destroyed by doing present pious deeds. So, if you have been studying hard with full concentration and devotion then sure you will pass your examination. Only, laziness towards study, not to do daily hard study or practice in writing of chapters, and not learning the chapters daily etc., etc., destroy the future of a student. Student means his is only to study hard with full concentration and to take care of his health. So, please do the needful and go ahead. However, my article on karma’s theory is also pasted below-

D: Swamiji charan sparsh with blessings of Almighty God and you I try to do havan daily once in morning, as you make us understand I do yoga and meditiation also. I put cow ghee , havan samgri, sugar or rice in havan, what else we should put in havan , should we put like loban gugal etc If there is bathroom near shop is it put any bad effect in shop as some ne told me it is not right according vastu . charan sparsh swamiji
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. Really, God is pleased with your pious deeds of performing havan and to practice yoga philosophy. In havan samigri, sugar is not mixed please. Separately, gur, shakkar (jaggery) or honey is offered once. Yes, guggal, dal maah, jaw (barley) if possible, then dry fruits should also be added in daily havan samigri. Vaastu is not mentioned in Vedas. Havan purifies every atom of every matter. So, location of bathroom does not affect shop. In addition, special spiritual benefit is also obtained by doing havan with all these materials mixed in samigri.

B J: Pranaam / aaryavar! DRAUPADI Ka cheerharan ho raha tha tab sri krishna ji ne draupadi ki raksha kaise ki? Apne hath se saree kaise nikali?

Lalit: Swamiji which is one best karma. If we can do only one than which among these --- meditation on OM, gayatri mantra, havan , brahmacharya, serving a learned yogi is the best. I understand that all these are a part of a whole and should be practised collectively. But which of these is the most important that would benefit us in this life as well as the future. Please reply.
Swami Ramswarup: Actually, the best karma (deed) is to perform daily yajyen/havan. In yajyen, Brahma is seated and preaches Veda mantras with detailed comments and the listener also becomes learned. You see, when aspirant listens to Vedas, then only he becomes able to learn and do meditation on Om, Gayatri mantra, maintaining Brahmacharya, havan, serving learned Yogi. So, best karma is Yajyen. Article concerning the meaning of Yajyen is pasted below-
Actually, there are three meaning of Yajyen- to serve mother, father, atithi, acharya and Almighty God ; second is Sangatikaran i.e., to serve and satisfy an acharya, who is learned of Vedas and yoga philosophy to learn spiritualism from him in turn and third is daan i.e., donation. So, one should try to perform yajyen daily otherwise daily havan should not be discontinued and the yajyen, wherein the presence of Brahma i.e., learned of four Vedas is required, should be done timely.

Anonymous: Swamiji Namaste I do mediatation daily but when I get problems I loose faith in GOD, so then I started taking Alcohol assuming as it is I have to suffer and die then why not to enjoy and die. Is God really going to help me and when?
Swami Ramswarup: Namaste. The meaning of faith in Hindi as well as in Sanskrit is to accept the eternal and everlasting matter. Ashtang Yoga philosophy in which Yam, Niyam, asan, prannayam, pratyahaar, dharnna, dhyan, Samadhi are included, emanates from the eternal knowledge of the Vedas. You know, Vedas knowledge emanates direct from God and is originated in the heart of four Rishis.

So every devotee did practice of ashtang Yoga Philosophy faithfully and selflessly. Selflessly means that the devotee did not bother about any obstacle while practicing Yoga Philosophy. Instead they tried to remove the obstacle and they won with the grace of God. In your case, my dear son you’ve not still known the true path of Ashtang Yoga Philosophy. Otherwise question of loosing faith in God could not arise and such unfaithfulness is even a great sin because due to our laziness, lack of concentration, lack of firm decision to follow true path, we discontinue our worship/path and baselessly we blame the God which is a sin. So, please be brave and get victory in your life.

Raj Bhalla: Swami Ji, Parnam. Which mantras in Vedas specifically state in which God orders not to worship any one besides Him. Thank you.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you.

Rigveda mantra 6/50/14 states- “Ajah Ekpaat”

God is immortal, does not take birth and is one. Atharvaveda kand 13, sukta 4, Atharvaveda mantra 10/8/1, Yajurveda mantra 27/36 state that there was, is and shall ever remain only one , unchangeable, unchallengeable God.

B J: Are the history mentioned in websites true? It says Aaryabhatt was born on 2765 B.C.E.!
Swami Ramswarup: Your question is related to historical events, please for which I have to study it. So, at present I am unable to state anything. I read about aryabhatt long ago and could not recollect his real date of birth/samvat. He was great philosopher of Vedas.

Raju: Dear swamiji. Can you pls tell me the remedies of saddhe satti in horoscope which brings obstacles in life and work?
Swami Ramswarup: Sorry, please. As Saddhe satti etc., is not mentioned in Vedas, so learneds do not accept it.

A: How to reach my love?

Sagar Mohammed: I happened to read your dialogue with a brother regarding the topic, Is prophet Mohammed (pbuh) mentioned in Vedas? There you admit that you accept prophet's teachings but not with the label of being Muslim. Sir how can you at the same time accept his teachings and be against it? If you accept it then you are required to follow it. And when you follow it you will become a Muslim. Not every one who has born in a Muslim family is actually a Muslim because they don't really practice but simply accept. Also if you accept his teachings then you have to accept what he has told. He has taught that there have been many many (1,24,000) prophets before him and some of them were given books. The book of christian brothers is one of them (as mentioned in Quran). Vedas may also be among them. He further says that all these books were later on get distorted due to human interventions and that unlike them Quran will be preserved by Almighty. And so if Vedas were from God (we do not know whether it actually is) then by now it will have some mistakes due to human actions. It doesn't mean that it does not contain any good. At the same time all the good things in it are incorporated in Quran and ways to implement them are mentioned. So why can't you accept Islam if you accept prophet Mohammed (pbuh)?

Basant: Do manavaantar ke madhya me kya hota hai? Kya koi pralay jaisi ghatna hoti hai?
Swami Ramswarup: Nothing happens between two manvantras but time labours on along with daily worldly events as happens between the period of Sunday and next day of Monday.

G P: Pranam Swamij i, What is the definition of a Brahmin according to Vedas?
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. Un this regard, I paste my relevant answers:-
Four Ashrams

There are four ashrams in the life, Brahamcharya ashram up to age of 25 years, Grihastha ashram up to 50 years, Vanprasth ashram up to 75 years and Sanyas ashram up to 100 years. So one should try to discharge his duties of every ashram knowing duties thereof and then must take sanyas, but if anybody else is interested to take sanyas being ascetic by true speech etc., then he can take sanyas even at an early age.

Vikas: Respected swami ji, I want to become a good speaker. What should I do? Can Vedas help me in this matter? Can you tell me any mantra or method regarding this?
Swami Ramswarup: To be a good speaker, you should join the company of such learned persons who give speech. You should also try to participate in debates etc. Study of newspapers, current affairs and magazines will also help you. You should also do daily havan with Gayatri mantra to get blessings of God. Try to read number of good books to increase your knowledge also.

Dinesh: Namaste Swamiji I have a question. Is there any pendent or locket by which I can help everyone? Can you say tell me study mantra and long life mantra?
Swami Ramswarup: Namastey. There is no pendent or locket etc., to help anyone. Only our pious deeds to help others would serve the purpose but those who want to help others, first they should be able to control their senses, perceptions and mind by performing daily Yajyen, name jaap of God and practice of Ashtang Yoga.

H: What to do if someone's marriage ceremony has already been performed during the pitr paksha period, without knowing it was forbidden? Can something be done now to correct the effects of this mistake?
Swami Ramswarup: Pitra paksh period made by men does not exist in Vedas, shastras, upnishads, Bhagwad Geeta etc. Learned do not accept it. It does not effect the human life by any means, being against the Vedas. In Vedas, it is stated that every day, week, time/mahurat has been made by God for our benefit so any pious deed like marriage etc., can be performed any day and time which suits us. So, you need not to worry, please. I would advise you to study two of my books- Vedas Divine Light-I and II (in English) worth Rs. 80/ and Rs. 121/-, excluding postal charges. These books clarify several doubts/present blind faiths. The book can be sent on receipt of your postal address, if you desire.

Aditya: Pranam Maharaj ji. I want to know that the third eye of a Baba, which I have seen on Aastha. It always says Kripa Barsegi and most of the people are satisfied. What is the logic behind it? Scientifically what is that? I know that it is possible only by Yajyen.

Anonymous: Pranaam guruji, I recieved your book Vedas a divine light 3 and your Ramayan CD Vol1. It was superb! . To that extent I have made some donation so that more CD's on Valmiki ramayan can be created and published. Bahaut Dhanaywaad..
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. I appreciate your views on Valmiki Ramayan which is a Vedic culture written by Rishi Valmikiji. At that time, the present sects did not exist so entire world used to listen to Vedas and the said culture. Now, I thank you for your donation and I would try to release the next Cd as early as possible.

Basant: How many upanishads are authentic? Maharshi dayanand quoted sentences in satyarth prakash other than 10 main upanishads.
Swami Ramswarup: Yes, please. Learned of Vedas accept only eleven upnishads whereas total number of Upnishads are 108.

Basant: What is the age of Maharshi patanjali, Maharshi kanaad and Maharshi gautam? I heard that Maharshi vyaas wrote a commentary on patanjali's yog sutra. Is it true?

Anonymous: Swami Ji Pranam, Swami ji I want to take one decision about my marriage that I want to marry a blind person. I received his profile through a matrimonial site. He is well-settled. I have taught blind people before and I feel attached to them.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you, my daughter. It is said that society makes a man perfect. I mean to say, you have been teaching the blind persons so the society of blind persons has created emotions within you for them and hence your idea of marriage to a blind person is originated. This is not enough to live a long, happy life. If actually your love is not based on physical charm, but is based on soul to soul then your marriage to a blind person can only be successful otherwise not. In the married life several homework’s/duties are to be performed in which a blind person would not be able to discharge the same and ultimately if you at present think that the family duties of you and your husband would be discharged by you happily then your views to marry a blind person can be successful, otherwise not. In the society, someone can also make spending fun of such marriage and if happily you can bear the same then your family life will be happy otherwise not.

Anonymous: Pranam Swamiji, Thanks for replying to all my previous questions. We have been a typical, traditional Hindu family, worshiping idols for so many years. But Since I have got knowledge from You, I have changed a lot, started praying the only formless God & stopped wrong worshiping. But my parents & wife are not happy with this change & still wants to stick to the traditions. We have been worshiping Ganesh Idol for last 8 years, but this year I want to stop it but I am not being able to convince this to them. Swamiji , Please guide me, how should I convince them? They feel that, if we stop the tradition Lord Ganesh will curse them.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you.

P: Sir, Charan Sparsh, Sir due lack of time I could not do havan daily basis but use to do havan twice a week,, with your sandya mantra book in morning time and with your blessing Now I have started havan on Ekadishi, Amavasaya and Poornmasi with their mantras also as per your instruction. I have got sandhya mantra book 5-7 months back. As per your instructions I have gone through with Amavasya and Poormasi mantras but I would like to get these mantra with their hindi meaning, third I am still waiting for what mantra should I chant on ekadishi with hindi meaning. Sir, one more thing after doing havan, I feel that I am sorrounded by havan smell for whole day what it could be.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. As per Samveda mantra 14, havan/worship is to be performed daily both times. If you are unable to do daily then continue your havan twice a week but you should try and one day you will be successful to do the havan daily. Actually, as stated above the havan is performed daily. As regards ekadashi, no special havan for ekadashi has been mentioned in Vedas. So, daily havan covers ekadashi also. It is a good sign of worship to feel havan smell whole day. please, continue your worship forever. The meaning of Amavasya and Poornima mantras shall be sent in due course.

Anonymous: I am 29 and still not married. I have Naga sarpa dosham and we did pooja, but there was no change.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you, my daughter. In this regard, I paste my relevant answers:- GAYATRI MANTRA

Please, start the day by chanting Gayatri mantra in the early morning sitting on suitable asan like Sukhasan, Siddhasan or Padmasan etc. concentrate on the point between two eyebrows which is called “Agyachakra”. The Gayatri mantra should be chanted along with its meaning both times. Also, please try to perform daily hawan even with Gayatri mantra. Then try to study any of my books daily and put up question if any.

After 15 days chant the Gayatri mantra only thrice thereafter do the name jaap of Almighty God-“Om”. The jaap must be done daily by heart and not orally.

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.
