Lekshmana Chandra: Thank you for the reply and have read the contents. I belong to Kanaya Kumari district of Tamil Nadu. It is one of the places in India where thousands of American dollars are spent yearly for conversion to Christianity. We are fighting against it with our meagre recourses and with the name of Swami Vevekananda kindling the awareness, how he has proved the superiority of Hinduism in America and the three faiths for a Hindu he contemplated; First faith in OM and Vedas, second faith in God and faith in Karma and rebirth of the soul.

Lakshmi Narayanan: I am 29 yrs Pure Vegetarian Man. I am a veg by birth. Till now I have not taken any non veg. I strictly follow Vegetarianism. What was started (following Vegetarianism) as a family ritual has now been turned in to a vow. It was very difficult to follow veg in my surroundings whether it is office or home. Even though I follow it and till now I was a pure veg. I was given chicken pizza without telling by friends and I had it without noticing. Once I realized I vomited. What can I do to make amends?

Rahul Radhakrishnan: Dear swamiji, You in your replies to some one recently
mentioned that the sins we do in previous life decides what we get in present life and for the sins we do in present life we get result in next birth. SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT IF A PERSON DOES MANY MANY BAD DEEDS IN PRESENT LIFE, HE WILL NOT SUFFER AT ALL IN PRESENT LIFE DUE TO THESE BAD DEEDS? Please clarify.2. AGAIN IF I DO GOOD DEEDS LIKE CHANTING GAYATRI MANTRA DOING DAILY STUIDY OF VEDIC BOOKS ETC THEN WONT IT NEGATE OUR
PREVIOUS LIFE’s BAD DEEDS? 3.

Alvin Lal: When Vyas Muni wrote the Vedas on Bhoj Patra for the first time, how did he choose what knowledge from which of the four Vedas Agni, Vayu, Aditya, and Angira goes where? i.e. How did it come to be four books and not five (for example), Rigveda, Samved, Atharvaved, and Yajurved? How was the original knowledge division/ correlation done into four books? How was it categorised, if at all? Meaning from the original 4 Vedas, whose knowledge was transferred by mouth, how was that knowledge divided up into 4 books? Hopefully swamiji you can enlighten me once more..
