Gurumaa ji: Amarjit, yes Amarjit I know you have missed me lot but where were you... Londoners are known to be cold person... are you a cold person? Lillychawla11: Koti koti Pranaam Guruji at your Lotus Feet, There are no words to describe Kirpa and Grace. One becomes speechless, But The mind does play games ,and confuses me and creates suspicious thoughts ,doubts , and ofcourse, the people around all kind ,rjoguun ,.tamogun and satogu, . So is my mind. But the Divine experiences help to see the Anandmurti Gurumaa:- Lilychawla, Mind is a home of negativities and darkness and it takes long time to come out of this... a deep forbearance and very tolerant consistent sadhna is required to finaly experience this.. We need not fight with it but understand the mechanism of our mind. Anu_Sunil: MAA, ABOUT TODAY’S DHYAAN WHICH WE ALL DID LIVE FROM ASHRAM, THY TOLD TO SEE THREE DIFFERENT PARTS AT A TIME, WHICH WAS DIFFICULT, eg. STOMACH, BREATHING, and CHEST. HOW TO BE VERY MUCH CONSCIOUS AT THAT TIME? ANU Anandmurti Gurumaa: Anusunil, what I taught this morning is meditation and see how difficult is this for you people and this shows the depth of your unconsciousness and how much deep work is required and yet to be done. Vandna: Guru maa, pranaam my name is Vandna and I am a devotee of yours from years but I have not been lucky enough to yet ever meet you in person. This is the luckiest moment for me that I am able to at least chat with you. I am a Sikh girl and have married a Muslim, he converted me to marry me but now I feel I made a mistake because no matter how much I learn the Islamic way of praying I can not feel Shradha coming out of my heart for Islam. I respect Islam also but my heart goes towards Krishna and I really wish to know the real God who ever it is whichever path it is that I need to take. I am in a very confused state of mind and need your guidance to help me come out of this dilemma please.Ans- Anandmurti Gurumaa: Vandana, you married a Muslim man, he converted you to Islam my question is why did you convert to Islam when you didn't have respect for Islam. If love for your husband was more than your love for religion then be happy with that... why are you complaining. Anandmurti Gurumaa: The lust of world is like this. One moment you want to die for all those things and other moment you want to destroy all those things when your dreams are broken... Vandna: I have no complaints with Islam and respect it totally maa but the more I learn and compare with my old religion the more confused I am getting Anandmurti Gurumaa: Vandna, you read my book ‘Rumi’ and u will understand that Islam and Sufism is not a difficult thing you might have some trouble in accepting the hard core laws of shariyat but that doesn’t mean that Islam is bad.. Be patient and give time to yourself Vandana: My husband was involved in tax fraud and has been caught now. He is in prison from last 6 months. All attempts to bail him out have failed and now we don’t have money to fight so he is pleading guilty. He fears it’s because I am still not able to forget my old religion and asked me if I was still praying in my old way. I said No but I am chanting Hare Krishna Maha mantra and was chanting Gayatri mantra every day. I am worried is that why he is in pain? Anandmurti Gurumaa:Vandna, if you are going to compare two religions then you are already confused...every religion functions as perits own methodologies and there might be the confulgemnce of both... rose is a rose and neem is a neem. Anandmurti Gurumaa: Vandna, I cannot do anything for you because you don't know what you are saying...you have never heard me on TV either. Its better you hear first and then understand... Lillychawla11: Guruji ,the dance experience was out of this world and very intoxicating. Anandmurti Gurumaa: lily, indeed the dance meditation is out of world and intoxicating. Invite people at your home and let them enjoy the dance. This will be a different kind of dance for them... Vigneswara: Guru maa, my name is Vignesh. I am suffering from back pain past five yrs. I chatted with u last session. Last time I was not able chat myself. Anandmurti Gurumaa: Vignesh, for your back pain better come here in ashram , maybe we'll be able to guide you into some yogic Asanas which may help... Richa Hans: Pranam Gurumaa ,when I do Yog Nidra I feel Nabhi Chakra is blocked and breathing is very fast what to do for that. Anandmurti Gurumaa: Richa, you don't know what nabhi chakra is so how would you know whether its blocked or not... don't play foolish games. Just focus on your yog nidra. h_chetnani: Gurumaa...I was in touch with Kanchman for setting up meditation in our office. Can I bring my entire management team for your corporate session? Anandmurti Gurumaa:: h_chetnani, if your meditation room is ready then may be you can check my schedule with kanchman and we will give some time to you but better bring your entire management there... Yogesh_pandyaanand: Gurumaa ,I don't understand what’s going on now a days in my mind is just like a blank page, please guide me - Nita ( Anand) Anandmurti Gurumaa: Yogesh, if your mind is blanked these days then enjoy the blankness... Urmilabirmingham: Gurumaa, did the pink marilys flower blooms... Anandmurti Gurumaa: Urmila, I don't know whether the pink marilys have bloomed or not I was so busy in other things... I have to check tomorrow... Vandna: Gurumaa ,I have been watching your videos online also and I feel you are the one who can show me the way to light Anandmurti Gurumaa:- vandna, religion is different from spirituality... you have to understand what you want to follow...you are stuck in dogmas ...you might have heard me for years but you have not understood me... Geetamanek: Pranaam Gurumaa, I have been regularly doing Yog-Nidra for last 2 and half months as per ur suggestion. It is helping me a lot. Should I continue doing it or switch to another dhyan Vidhi? Sadness and Depression is my "Default" Please Guide. Anandmurti Gurumaa: Gitamanek, yog nidra is for life long... don't you think you eat every day , you drink everyday ,you get stressed every day. So you have to do yog nidra every day... until you get enlightenment.. h_chetnani says: Gurumaa... I have been given the responsibility of the Social Services Wing of my organization.... how do I collaborate with Shakti...I have been trying to reach Geetika have not gone beyond the first call.

Anandmurti Gurumaa: h_chetnani, prepare the list and send it to us, we will give you a call. Sheel_hans: pranam gurumaa! buddhi ke sukhe registan par bhav ki barsat kaise ho? Anandmurti Gurumaa: - sheel_hans, yahi prarthna karte raho allah..miya megh de paani de gurdani de..baras jaayega kisi din.. Vigneswara: Guru maa..last time i chatted u wanted to see me to advice treatment . I am in front of webcam ...please suggest me some treatmrent...I am bed ridden so I cannot come to Ashram as u suggested Gurumaa Anandmurti Gurumaa: vigneswara, well i cannot teach right here. In which city you are? Maybe we can send someone to you... Vandna: main New Zealand main rehte hue kaise aapki disciple ban sakti hun agar aap mujh par apni kripa drishti daalen to Anandmurti Gurumaa: Vandna, it doesn't make a difference where you live. Just understand what I am saying. h_chetnani :Gurumaa ...Just like you have been a big benifactor in changing my entire life...can I become a change agent around my place. I suspect my selfishness is limiting me to keep things to myself or the people around me are too consumed by their own rituality Anandmurti Gurumaa: h_chetnani, In due time, people's thoughts change. You can suggest people but you cannot force them to do what you think is right... Niharbanerjee: Gurumaa, many many thanks to u for Florida Shivir. It was my first experience. It was fantastic experience. I like to go for 19 days solitary program. What I need to do? Please advice. Anandmurti Gurumaa: Nihar,if it is possible then try to be here when dhyan duut program is on. Else you can come anytime in Ashram and do your solitary meditation HarleenK: Dear Gurumaa, when I meditate with the Gurumantra given by you at Stockton- you said that I will see some waves etc. Most of the time I see you , images of Lord Ganesh or other gods and images of the nature and sometimes a deep drak space. Is that to be expected? Anandmurti Gurumaa: harleen, when I had said that you may experience waves. It doesn’t mean anything pictorial. So don’t wait for any images to arise in your mind. Whatever images you are seeing of ganesh... krishna..its just imagination of your mind... lillychawla11:lillychawla11 Guruji ,when we invite people at home can we use different types of mediations ,chanting. We are getting some calls from the magazine, and local Indians they want to know as were we meet and when, We need your permission and method as how to apply this. Anandmurti Gurumaa: lily, yes you can do chanting and listening to my videos English or Hindi and do the guided mediation with the cds... suresh raje : It's been one year since I visited Ashram in 2006 Dec. From the time I am regular in my sadhna and practice and very happy to let you know that the progress is deffinatly positive. In Kuwait I have my own world of ANANDA. Thanks. Sooner or later I shall be coming to Ashram again. Anandmurti Gurumaa: Sureshraje, whenever you can come to Ashram most welcome and enjoy your mediation and listening to morning programme. maaguru222: What is wrong...what is right is all a delusion of mind which is also false...then what is correct? Anandmurti Gurumaa: maaguru, you ask me that what is right and what is wrong... as long as you are thinking from the mind; everything is wrong... you will have to take a leap jump out of the mind only then you will have ability to understand what is right and what is wrong... ajaymanav1 says: Guruji I am having enough money for my livelihood and if i works still to earn more. Is it a sign of greed in my life? Anandmurti Gurumaa: Ajay, if you have enough money for your livelihood then why don't you dedicate your life to something that is precious than money. h_chetnani: Gurumaa...I seek your help in being the ice breaker to my team of highly qualified and successful executives who are too embroiled in material pleasures as opposed to the bliss that you have exposed me to Anandmurti Gurumaa: h_cetnani, those who have embroiled in material successor are stuck in success... wait for them when the saturation point has come... then only I can be of help... bennyUK: Living in the present moment is to be conscious of every action n deed performed daily. This is quite difficult as one so quickly gets back into the unconscious actions of the day. What can one do to help and move? Anandmurti Gurumaa: benny, living in the present moment is indeed difficult b/c of the sleep, darkness is unlimited and breaking this wall is really cumbersome. But do not be discouraged if you lose the string of your awareness. Just remember when you found it back. kishan3: gurujee we enjoyed first time picnic in kolkata centre with bhajan/dhyan/kirtan etc. it was wonderful... Anandmurti Gurumaa: kishan, it is wonderful you had a spiritual picnic. Keep on having more of such! maaguru222 : I like dancing to any music and some sort of kriya happens . I feel like crying and just swinging my body...Does it matter what sort of song I am dancing on. Will I help me in my sadhna... Anandmurti Gurumaa: Maaguru, as long as you can be with the beats and let go of your mind any kind of music is ok. But not any kind of music is ok for dance... your mind can give meanings to beats and words... then you get unsuccess in getting out of your mind. bennyUK: They say one must have a guru yet the inner guru leads one to that discovery and exploration of the hidden wonders. Yet having a guru is very important to take that step that jump forward. So both inner and outer guru is equally important aren’t they? Anandmurti Gurumaa: benniiUK, the inner guru is obscure and hidden and the external Guru helps you to find the inner guru. So until n unless you have not explored the inner how can u leave the work with the external guru. It is your ego which is saying that I am happy with my inner Guru. Vandna: Maa ji kya aap mujhe apne disciples main shamil kar sakti hain , please Anandmurti Gurumaa: Vandana, agar hum tumhe tumhare Guru lagte hain to hum tumhare Guru hain... Niharbanerjee: I was performing sakriya dhyan using URJA CD. At some point my whole body started shaking and I did not have any control over that. I did not perform any sakriya dhyan after thst. Is it normal? Please advice. I will then start doing again. Anandmurti Gurumaa: nihar bannerjee, it is ok when your body begins to shake and move while doing urja. And at that time you should not control the movements. It is a katar movement. At that time you will be relieved of all pressures. Keep on doing urja. Haasmukh: Pujya Gurumaaji, Which is the preferred direction that we should sleep ? Anandmurti Gurumaa: haasmukh, you should always sleep in north direction...earth magnet works in our benefit... if you sleep in opposite direction or with your head in west. You are going against the earth magnet and it can swell your brain. It will hamper your sleep... you will have nightmarish sleep... follow natural law of earth...head in north... feet in south... aman_ludhiana: I am able to wake up morning but after that i got confused always what to do . should i start yoga,or meditation or which meditation . or waste all time in thinking and after feel depression.please solve my confusion Anandmurti Gurumaa: Aman, don't be a confused item. When you wake up shake your body like a dog. Move your butt, shake your head. Take a shower. Do some yoga for half an hour. After that do some meditation. Don’t spend time thinking what to do, meditation, which meditation? Just do! maaguru222: How to overcome fear ---I have fear of going alone in darkness and i feel as if some one will come and do something to me .... Anandmurti Gurumaa: maaguru, how old are you? And what do you do? m or f? Apskhanna: Gurumaa Ji, we really enjoyed your last trip to North Califoirnia (Stockton). It was a wonderful experience. Please make plans to come again soon. Anandmurti Gurumaa: apskhanna, whenever time comes i will come again to north california... Amrish_Nanna: Maa when there are a lot to repulsion of the samsaras coming up then at that time which is the best dhyan to keep myself stable Anandmurti Gurumaa: Amrish, to kick away the miseries of mind it is not dhyana which is needed what is needed is wisdom... if you remain a fool then no amount of dhyana can help you... bennyUK: These days, I am feeling a bit low. Parents are getting old and at this time i feel the intense desire to spend much time with them. but this is not possible due to distance. How should one cope with this Anandmurti Gurumaa: benny, it is better that you kick out your attachment to your parents. Today they are old tomorrow they will be dead. What will you do then? We have to accept the reality of life. We should not fight with it. We should not be boggled down by being in attachment or by being possessive. Bennii: I have tried many exercies, but still the legs are painful...[an operated leg] thus...the question on yoga etc! Anandmurti Gurumaa: bennii, better come here in ashram to learn as in your situation it can not be taught from the distance I will have to see what the problem is. vandna: My mother in law is dying in hospital pls bless her to leave her body and be in peace Anandmurti Gurumaa: - vandana, death is imminent it will come today or tomorrow. So there shouldn't be any dilemma regarding death. aman_ludhiana: guru ji receive the warm wishes of new born girl baby that u send me yesterday Anandmurti Gurumaa: Aman, my blessings to this new girl who has just arrived. May she have a fruitful life. Ratnapatel: With due respects to gurumaa, as you said darkness is more than light, does darkness relate to our ignorance? Anandmurti Gurumaa: Ratna, the darkness definitely relates to the ignorance but the important thing is this, that the darkness might be very ancient. but one ray of light kicks away the darkness. That is power of light. Meaning, that is power of the wisdom. Geetamanek: Gurumaa, I stay at Thane. It is on the way to Nashik if one is traveling by road from Mumbai. Will you please come to my home? I am inviting you from the bottom of my heart. Anandmurti Gurumaa: Gita, maybe you talk to Hari Milan. I don't know whether i can take a halt at your home or not. You ask. bennii: Gurumaa...why am I a fool? Anandmurti Gurumaa: bennii, why are you hurt if I have said bevakoof. This just shows you have a very big ego. For now I will call you MM and don't ask what this means. Jagpal : Gurumaa ji, how can one hold on to the love & joy that is felt during meditaion throughtout day Anandmurti Gurumaa: jagpal, one should not try to hold love joy or any other emotion. As everything comes to go, be centered in your wakeful and be in the present and whatever these movements come and go, but the present is always present. Rupal: I sleep during yognidra, what should I do? Anandmurti Gurumaa: Rupal, it is ok if you go to sleep while doing yog nidra. This means there is a deficiency of sleep. So while this is covered up you might be able to do your yog nidra correctly. maaguru222: I get carried away by thoughts ...How to keep a distance from our mind...I had also asked about fear. I am 32 years, female and a housewife... Anandmurti Gurumaa: maaguru, you cannot keep distance from your mind until you have understood the distance btw you and your body. And regarding fear, you cannot remove it by thinking of removing it. You have to encounter your fear. You have to face it. Amrish_Nanna: I am having my ICSE board exams coming up in the end of this month n i m workin hard for it n i need u r bleesings to get sucesful i knw u r blessings alone wn't work but these will polish my hard work Anandmurti Gurumaa: Amrish, work hard and don't worry about the results. Just perform well and after that whether you fail or pass it shouldn't matter to you. But perform well! HarleenK: Gurumaa, when will the Shivirs be held at the Ashram this year? Anandmurti Gurumaa: harleen, the next shivir might happen in April or the last week of May And definitely in June. But it will be quite hot time, so be prepared for the heat. Anandmurti Gurumaa: to all, good bye for now...
