Q & A

What to do When Love, Devotion and Faith get shaken?

Sri Sri: That is very good. True Love and devotion gets deeper when it is challenged. Testing times come in everybody's life. You pray and sometimes your prayers don't get answered. Ten times you get what you wanted, and when the Eleventh time you don't get it, you start complaining. Is it not the case? (The questioner, a boy says, " Yes, one of my friend ditched me and I am feeling intense pain")

That is when you pull yourself up, Keep up with your practices. God is in every heart, everywhere, all round you and inside you. He knows what is best for you and he will give you the best.

What is the difference between Prayer and Meditation?

Sri Sri: 'Prayer' is asking, Meditation is listening. In Prayer, you ask, 'Give me this, give me that', giving instructions, demanding. In meditation, you say, 'I am here to listen, what is it that you want to tell? Tell me, Whenever you are free, I an here. Culmination of prayer is Meditation. When Prayer goes to a Peak, it is Meditation.


Could you please explain why we pray to Shiva, even though Shiva is called the destructor?

Sri Sri: Shiva is not just the destructor ; Shiva means the transformer, the consciousness, which is advaita. which is non-dual, the one consciousness, Mahadeva. The Shiva Puja (Rudrapuja) is most ancient yagna, which unites all the five elements, through chanting and using the five element. This Yagna is done to uplift the human consciousness.

What Is Karma?

This Soul which is a part of this big Ocean, Big Universe has travelled thousands and thousands life times that are uncountable. It has changed so many bodies and now we are sitting in this body. Before this moment in those thousands life times, this beautiful Soul has experienced so many things and have collected so many impressions from those experiences. All those impressions of past, when i say past that means before this moment million of life times, billions of years, uncountable times, in all those life times, all experiences has left some impressions on the soul or memory. Sum of those impressions of millions of life times is What the KARMA of this life time for particular soul is. This is unbelievable. What i mean is the amount of complexity it has it is fantastic.

Also... Here are so many billions of souls that have collected impressions about this particular soul. All that impressions of this collective mind is also the Karma of this soul.

In very very simple definition i will say, Karma is the impression of the past and the fruit it brings you back is what 'Karmafal' is the fruit, the result of the Karma. Karma is the impression and the result, influence of that Impression is KARMAFAL.
Now for the basic understanding of the Karma, what i feel is, if you just observe what happens with in you i.e thoughts, emotions, judgements, memories of the past, any thing just happens within you and if you Pass through a filter of intelligence what ever is happening with in you. What is worth keeping, what is not worth keeping, what is beneficial, what is harmful. Passing into the filter, what is not worth keeping, what is harmful for your life Simply take a Deep long Breath in and while releasing the breath release the harmful things.
The Nature has already given this ability to release. Use the breath and release it. What i mean is observe what all has happened within you, everything is the influence of the outer world on inner being. whatever have happened, passing through the filter what is worth keeping and what is not worth keeping. what is useful and what is not. What is beneficial and what is harmful. Simple just take a Long breath and release AND YOU ARE MORE OR LESS TAKEN CARE OF.
