Sri Sri Ayurveda Medial College graduates just told me that in the history of Medical Science colleges, no batch has ever held 50% distinctions. Our kids have created history with 100% pass results, out of which 50% are rank holders. This shows how dedicated the teachers are and how disciplined the students are.
Who says mothers are not spiritual leaders? Every woman is as spiritual leader, she leads the whole family into spirituality. Women lead everybody at home. Women are naturally spiritual.
Just remembering God is enough. It is good to have some rituals like lighting a lamp, keeping some flowers because it creates a beautiful atmosphere at home. But you should do meditation, that is enough.
Don’t worry, you come and sit in satsang, that is good enough. Every sin is washed away. Remembering the god washes away all the sins. The more you read the Puranas the more confused you will get, that’s why in the Bhagavad Gita Sri Krishna said ‘’Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja” - you leave everything and take refuge in me. Remembering this truth is enough.
Who said that they have no right? That is not written anywhere. Everybody can do Gayatri japa, there are no such boundaries. All these restrictions came in middle ages. In ancient times, there were no such things. Goddess is only Gayatri. The upholder of the Gayatri mantra is the Mother Divine (female energy). During menstruation cycle, Agnihotra should not be done, but remaining days, it can be done.
Now be with the life, we will see about death later, when it comes. When there is devotion, knowledge and meditation, all these fears drop. Look at all the Gods, they are all depicted in Abhayahasta mudra (position of the hand gesturing reassurance). They are giving you this message, “Don't be scared. I am there”.
Just me. Just what it is. There's no comparison. Be hollow and empty and you will get there too. Purity in heart, clarity in mind and sincerity in action.
