20250310 Question and Answers Session

Swami Namini Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.

How do you know that? Question answer time.

So today we are having another question and answer time. Yeah, I have some questions. Alhadini Mataji is collecting the questions from the devotees and she is sending it to me. Okay, Guru Mahesh, first question is from your spiritual daughter. First question is from your spiritual daughter Taptakini Radhika Mataji. Okay, so her question is. Dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Yesterday we were hearing how we can only realize our Siddhadeha after we attain the Bhava stage and by the mercy of Guru Nitai Gaur and Shrimati Radharani. We see however among the devotees that some have natural inclinations for certain services such as cooking, singing, deity, worship, etc. As well as varied Ishtadevas. Where do these inclinations arise from? Is it from qualities we have obtained in the material world or through that eternal personal relationship we have with Krishna?

I was hearing some book and Rahul Raja.

So I was following some book and Srila Prabhupada says those who are following this and this book they are in this and this Rasa. So.

I understand what is.

We could debate what the devotee is experiencing to ascertain what his Rasa is.

Friend is really well handle powers.

Service depends on the mood, servitude, friendship and in paternal some are mother, some are fathers. Hello.

Hello.

Conjugal. You are a Vaishnavi. So in servitude could be male or female. In. In. In. In friendship it could be male or female. That's what you mentioned just now. I forgot to mention. I. I forgot to repeat the part that you. You mentioned before. No, no. Before you said before that you said in servitude but in. But in conjugal it's only female. In servitude or friendship or in parental could be male or female.

Servant and.

Service is servant and friendship it's male. Okay, so parental could. If you're a mother you are a lady. If you're a father you are a male. Okay, so the question was Gurmaraj. So we have inclination towards varied Ishtadevas. Where do these inclinations arise from? Is it from the qualities we have obtained from the material world or through that eternal personal relationship we have with Krishna, Kapila Kara Kamila, the son of the husband Kardam and Devahuti? So we read in the Bhagavatam Kardamuni and Devahati they had Daughters. And then they had Kapiladev as their son.

She asked Kapdula Dev.

And she asked Kapiladev to teach her.

So how she went to the Survilla Moni's planet.

So she went to the spiritual world in Kapilamuni's planet.

She was a mother.

She was mother. She was. She really was. So it's hard to say. She got the relationship from her service to Kapilamuni. So different devotees may have different opportunities. Okay, the last question. But they only sent two. Guru Manage. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay, okay, okay. I just saw. I just saw it. Just so. Okay, sorry. How we know we have overcome the anarthas? Tungavitya Gopi Devi Dasi from Surat. I'm not asking. The first one is person. How do we know that we don't. That we have. We have overcome all the anarthas?

We don't have any.

Oh, okay. If you don't have any.

Stomach.

How do you know when your stomach is full? Your stomach is full. Do you ask your neighbor? You know that you're full? Okay. That what you sent. There's another question coming up. You'll answer. They are also sending it through her. You have the question, Send it to me. Are we done with the anarchist questions? Are we done with the anarchist? I mean the question regarding.

Unheard of, going over our mind.

What's that? Gurumaj. So anarthas are coming up in the mind. If it's normal, then we'll know it. Okay, so the next question is from next to you. Okay. Dear Guru Maharaj, the question is what should be first? Chanting or rounds? Or doing our duties at home and work. You have to finish your rounds every day.

I will die within one and a half and two hours.

It would take one and a half to two hours to chant 16 rounds. There are how many hours in a day? 24. Yeah, yeah. So what do you do with the other 22 hours?

It takes a long time, 16 rounds a day.

So you take a vow that you chant minimum 16 rounds every day and avoid breaking the four regulative principles. So.

They will chant 16 rounds in the morning.

So some people, they chant their 16 rounds in the morning and rest of the day they are free for the other duties. So how you can do that? It's up to you. Okay. Any question? The first question is personal. We can't ask. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. Email Guru Maharaj. That's better. I'll read it to you. I'll switch off the mic. And read it to you if you're okay. Dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. Unto the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your Divine grace. Please give. Okay. Please. Please give a brief description about Siksha Guru and Diksha Guru. Diksha Guru gives you the mantra.

We only have one.

You can only have one Diksha Guru. Siksha Guru is of two types. One like on the level of your Diksha Guru and one who gives relevant instructions for your spiritual life. There is no limit in how many Siksha Gurus you can have.

Instruction has.

If the Siksha Guru gives some instruction which contradict your Diksha Guru, you should ask a Diksha Guru about that.

His Aries.

Because he is responsible for your Ka consciousness. If you think that your Sikhsha Guru is giving you wrong instructions then confirm it with your Diksha Guru. Okay. We have done four questions. Yeah. The last one is from the Prabhu. Yeah. One more. I said you can write to him. That's what I told. Okay, good. Manage. It's late now.

Only one.

Okay. Any. Any questions from Prabhu? Take the picture of the question. Can you hear Alhadini Mataji? Can you hear an. Yeah.

Please accept my respectfulness. I had a question for a long time. Sometimes we hear Krishna Katha and then their quotations of G. Vishnavas other than our line of Charas starting from B. Thakur from another other families of Mahbru's branch. So how to accept those teachings?

Those teachings. So the question basically was sometimes we hear Krishna Katha and some quotations they come from. So the question, the quotation. Okay, okay. Can you hear me? Am I audible? So the quotation comes from Vaishnavas, from the other Gaudiya line like Advaita Pariva or different Gaudiya Vaishnava Parivas. So what should be our stand and how should we perceive those quotations? You should see. They should be in our parampara. Like Bhakti Vinod Thakur. He is in our parampara. So we are Rupa Nuga. So Rupa Sanatana, Jiva Goswami. They are in our parampara. So others, those who are out of this parampara, you can ask your Diksha Guru or so you can accept. Like Srila Prabhupada has given us instructions. You can accept those instructions. Hare Krishna, this is your Shakatari Das Brahmachari.
