*Does the remembrance of the Lord at the time of death depend on our past karma or because of spiritual endeavors during this life?
ans: Sri Sri Swamiji: The remembrance of the Lord at the time of the death is neither due to past karma nor due to the spiritual endeavors during this life. It is only due to the grace of the Guru or God. *Is temptation natural for every human? How can I avoid this? Is there an easy way out? Sri Sri Swamiji: Temptation is natural, not only for humans, but also for all creatures on Earth. Instead of trying to avoid it, you can overcome it. The only way out is to chant, chant and chant. But you have to be patient. Don’t expect immediate results. But the results are guaranteed. The transformation will happen slowly. -H.H.Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

A Homonym for His Compassion?
Sanskrit is a ‘Deva Bhasha’ (Divine Language of God). There are two beautiful words in this language which have almost identical pronunciations but with two different meanings.
CharaNam – चरणम् (Meaning: Foot) SharaNam – शरणम् (Meaning: Surrender) The sea of compassion that He is, God has given identical pronunciations to these pair of words so that He could find an excuse to take unto His Feet and liberate even the one who mispronounces the word ‘CharaNam’ as ‘SharaNam’. How compassionate is our God! This message was sent to you by Rekha!! Love to be with GOD. To see Rekha!!'s profile click: http://www.orkut.co.in/Profile.aspx?uid=1902192492904791948

1. The idol to be installed in the temple is being
2. We can feel electric current by touch. That is, we Onion & Garlic Onion & Garlic
We are advised to avoid onion and garlic in our diet. Why? Some explain that they trigger lustful tendencies; hence, we should avoid them in our diet. But what is the real reason behind this?
During the ‘amruta matanam’ [churning the Divine Ocean of Milk (’Ksheeraabdi’) for acquiring ‘amrut’] Lord Vishnu took the form of a beautiful maiden to obtain the ‘amrut’ for the Devas from the hands of the Asuras who had snatched away the pot containing the ‘amrut’. Taking even a small drop of ‘Amrut’, the tastiest of all things in all worlds, one faces no death, has no fear of disease, no hunger or sleep and always remains fresh and active. Mohini holding the pot of ‘amrut’ in her hand asked the Devas and the Asuras to sit in a row facing each other so that she could distribute the ‘amrut’ to them. The Asuras dumbstruck by Mohini’s beauty sat gaping at her and failed to notice her action. She was serving the ‘amrut’ only to the Devas. However, Rahu, one of the Asuras, noticed it and surreptitiously moved to the row of the Devas and sat between the Sun and the Moon gods and received the ‘amrut’. The Sun and the Moon noticed him and quietly warned the Lord who was in the form of Mohini. The Lord hit Rahu on the head with the laddle and ordered him to spit out the ‘amrut’. He spat out the ‘amrut’ and that fell out as onion and garlic. Since they have come out of the ‘amrut’ they are good for health but since they have come out of an Asura’s [demon] mouth they contain demonic elements in them. Our Puranas detail how a ‘jiva’ takes birth on earth. The ‘jivas’ remain as tiny atoms in space. At the appropriate time, they enter the rain clouds, fall down as rain and enter the ‘Oshadiis’ [food grains] on earth. They enter the male as ‘retas’ [sperm] through the food he consumes and then is transferred to the womb of the mother where it begins to take form. The demonic qualities are present in onion and garlic. Thus, one who consumes onion and garlic begets children with demonic qualities. It is for this reason that on This message was sent to you by Rekha!! Love to be with GOD.

(Compiled by Sri Rekha)
I want to know about my death. What is death? I want to experience my death. I want to be aware of my death.?
answer : As long as the life-force (‘Prana’) is inside your body, you are said to be alive. The moment that the Prana leaves your body to take another body is called death. The death of the body is not the real death. Even in medical science, it has been proved that real death is not the death of the body, but the death of the mind. From a spirituality perspective, real death is when you realize God, or realize the Self within you. That is because, it is only after then that you are not born anymore. Hence that is the real death. -- H.H.Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji Question:
I get irritated by my boss questioning and the tone in which it is done. This upsets me and negativity rises. How should I handle this and remain peaceful? Sri Sri Swamiji: Once the Buddha went to a house begging for alms. The house owner not only refuses alms but also abuses him verbally. The Buddha stood calm listening to all of it. The house owner was puzzled at the Buddha's indifference and asked him how he could remain without the least reaction. The Buddha replied, 'If you wish to donate me a cow, and I refuse, whom does the cow belong to? Does it not belong to you? Your abuses are no different!' Your boss may be showing his work pressures as irritation on you. So do not get hurt by them and try to remain calm.

Faith is the foundation of everything in this world. The alphabet 'F' in the word 'LIFE' stands for Faith in the Creator. In the absence of faith, your life is but a lie!
