QUESTIONS 1- (Reference to BG 10:28) ‘Of the weapons I am divine lightening’. The question is: Why not the Sudarshana-chakra? 2- To grow in our relationship with God, we have 4 fields in Bhakti Marga, which are: Knowledge, Meditation, Rituals, Devotional Arts. Is one of them more important than the others, or how shall we balance them in our daily life? 3- By association with saints one becomes saint too. So, what happened to the husbands of the gopis? Did they become saints too? 4- If saints incarnate again and one prays to their old incarnation, who is answering them? 5- If Krishna came to re-establish the dharma, why did everything get worst when He left? 6- Why can’t every being get liberation by the blink of an eye? 7- In the commentary of BG 6:31, you said that all the actions of a bhakta are actions of God, according to His will, even if on the outside they look like bad actions. How to see the difference between the action of a bhakta and the action of ordinary people who do the same bad action? 8- We know that the mind has to be surrendered to Your Feet, but what about the ego? What should we do with it? 9- What is the best way to overcome obstacles? 10- Does Narayana also descend on Earth for His own pleasure or only in time of trouble? 11- Mahavatar Babaji and you keep telling us to never give up on hope. I experience that hope is linked to expectation, which we should not have. So, how can we know which hope is good for us and which one is not good? 12- You teach us to be around bhakta and sangha. What if my husband and grown children don’t share the spiritual path with me? They accept me being a devotee, but they live life very differently. Does that work? 13- Could you elaborate on the deepness of ‘sri vitthala giridhari parabrahmane namah’? 14- In the Srimad Bhagavatam, a few years back, you told about the 21 hells and how one gets tortured... Guruji: It’s not me who said it, huh? It’s the Bhagavatam that said it and the Garuda Purana that said it. ... and in the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Krishna said that ‘fire can not burn you, water can’t wet you, wind doesn’t dry you’. What is it, then, what gets tortured and how one feels this? 15- There is a story about Rama that when He came back from exile, He met some transgender people, who had been waiting for Him to come back. He told them that they would have a place during Kali-yuga. Can you tell us the story? 16- (Prithu’s question) A mataji was singing with her daughter ‘radha vitthala, radha vitthala, radha vitthala...’ and I looked to Aaradhaka and... ‘No, it doesn’t not match, even if Radharani had been present in the temple of Vitthala, and knowing that She was one of the reasons... 17- (Prithu’s question) You often have said to us that in Vaikuntha we have this awareness and also we had the choice, we have chosen to come here. My question is: when Narayana is showing us this beautiful creation, His prakriti, are we aware that by coming here, it will a trouble for us?
