Aarti: Wil I be able to buy a house of myself?
Swami Ram Swarup: There is no shortage of any kind of wealth in Almighty God. That is why, Rigveda mantra 1/1/1 states “Hotaram Ratnadhatamam” i.e., God holds uncountable wealth, gems etc. So your hard-working along with regular worship of the God will fulfill your desire. Never forget to do daily worship of God by reciting Gayatri mantra along with its meaning and doing havan daily, both times with Gayatri mantra.

Amit: After acheiving the seventh body of atma which is called mahanirwan or nirwan sahrir, are we supposed to get Bhagwan’s sayujya forever? i know there is nothing left there after to know about because after next stage of nirwansharir our existance will get over from Parmatma rachit shristy but is it called Bhagwatprapti? Please put some light on it?
Swami Ram Swarup: I could not understand the seventh body of atma called mahanirwan because mahanirwan i.e., salvation can be attained within first time when soul attains human body and when the said person follows the path of Vedas-shastras, holy granths etc., and does Tapasya like hard practice of Ashtang yoga under guidance of a learned acharya of Vedas and yoga philosophy. However, if person does not work hard to do the said practice and pays minimum time on his practice then the salvation based on his practice can be attained within two, three or more next births. Your idea that existence gets over from parmatma rachit Srishti and whether it is Bhagwat-prapti; is further not understood, please. In moksha/salvation, the soul gets full freedom and no deed is to be faced by him but the soul always remains with God enjoying divine pleasure. Thus, the soul always remains separate from Almighty God. If the soul is indulged in Almighty God and soul becomes God then how the soul will enjoy divine pleasure?
Sachin: This is about the Panchkanya question. How do people say that remembering Panchkanya destroys sins?
Swami Ram Swarup: I have already replied you please that there were no panch-kanyas who were praised by Yogeshwar Sri Krishna Maharaj. Then question of destroying the sins by the Panch-kanyas does not arise. Sins are always destroyed by Almighty God. When an aspirant listens to Vedas’ knowledge, does daily Yajyen/havan, name jaap of God and does hard practice of ashtang Yoga philosophy. Other than Almighty God nobody can destroy any sin of anybody. Then how panch-kanyas, whose existence is not seen in Vedas, shastras etc., would destroy the sins? All four Vedas further state that we have to worship only the formless, Almighty, omnipresent God who creates, nurses and destroys the universe.
AG: Swami ji ke charno main koti koti pranam, Swami ji maine hum teen bhai hai. main dushra number ka hu. kya mujhe aapne mata/pita ko daag lagane ka adhikar nahi hai.
Swami Ram Swarup: Mera tumhein Asheerwad. Yajurveda mantra 40/15 kehta hai- “Bhasmantang Shareeram” arthat sharer ko jala do. Parantu aisa kuch nahin kaha ki kaun jalaye? Issey yah saaf ho jaata hai ki koi bhi jala sakta hai. Parantu ek baat aur zaroor hai ki jaise raja Dasrath ke char betey they lekin gaddi bade betey Sri Ramji ko di. Isi prakar Raja Pandu ke panch beton mein Yudhisthir sabse badey they aur unhin ko Zaida adhikar diya gaya. Isi prakar sabse badey betey ki pehley shadi hoti hai aur baad mein doosrey number ke betey ki . Ab to yeh Rivaaj ban chukka hai ki Badaa beta hi daag lagaye parantu sab karmon mein chhota beta aur parivar ke log sath rehtey hain. Isliye Prempoorvak daah karma karna chahiye.
O P: I will like to see you personally to learn Vedas.
Swami Ram Swarup: My heartiest blessings to you for a long, happy life. Your interest towards Vedas is appreciated. Yajurveda mantra 4/1 preaches “Prithivya idam Dev Yajnum” i.e., God has given us birth in human body to sit along with dev (learned acharya of Vedas) to perform holy Yajyen and listen to Vedas. Similarly, Ved mantras state that while performing family duties and doing hard job to earn sufficient money one should always try to listen to Vedas and do daily havan. (details provided)
Rashmi Sahu: In an article, Indian constitution has been critisized towards women: “The Indian Constitution, guarantees equal rights to both the sexes and does not discriminate on the basis of caste, color and creed. However, despite the constitutional provisions, do women enjoy equality with men? The answer is ‘No’. Their condition still remains miserable. Newspaper carry report of rape and burning of women for not bringing sufficient dowry or their inability to satisfy the demands of greedy in laws.”
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you, my daughter. Dear daughter, I think no reference of any ved mantra needs to be given since it is not the ved mantras which are being criticized but it is the Indian government which is being criticized. Another part III of Vedas- a Divine Light is about to be published and will be in hand by 28th Jan. 2009. I shall send the book to you after its publication.
The following comments are offered: The motto, idea and views of Indian government while framing the Indian constitution is very much clear regarding guarantee of equal rights to both men and women. Secondly, efforts have been made at a large scale by Indian government to educate the public and to obey the constitute in letter and spirit. Nobody can say that for the last sixty years, no good result has been achieved. Day by day, people have been educated and outlook of public has transformed to a great extent. Yet, we have to achieve the target where 100% rules and regulations regarding above constitutional provision is to be followed. India is the largest secular and democratic county of the world and it is not easy to make people educated soon. Task again becomes difficult when we consider the fact that India is mainly an agricultural based country and most of the people reside in villages. We must also pay our attention towards media, newspapers and analyse the crime position viz., the discrimination in the matter of colour, creed, torture, burning of women, murders and rapes etc., and then compare whether India is at higher rank or which country is at higher rank? Then I would pray to God, may India be brought at a better position.
So, everyone knows that to frame an order which can be an easy task but to implement the same on public may not be an easy task where blind faith or false tradition made by men are in practice since last 100’s and 1000’s of years.
S: There is a person whom I am interested to marry for the last two years. The families are not happy with the proposal but he is fighting to make it happen. Now the terms between us are not good and I have started hating him, and he threatens me.
Swami Ram Swarup: As per Vedas, boy or girl must not give their heart to each other before marriage. In your case, the meeting or views are being exchanged for the last two years and now the quarrel due to your cousin has started. In your heart hate has since been generated or you have started hating him and he is threatening you as well. How a learned person will believe such situation to say that you or he have any soft corner of love within your hearts? So, it is not possible that you or he will be happy after even marriage.
S: I have pimples and black marks on face. Please suggest a remedy.
Swami Ram Swarup: I would advise you first to consult the medical authorities and intimate to me their advise, please. In addition, you should do practice of yog asan and prannayam for which you should seek yoga teacher locally. You should wake up early in the morning for long morning walk and exercise, take plenty of water daily which should be boiled first and then cooled, unboiled water must not be taken. Try to prepare the following medicine by formulae given below:
Neem powder’s formula:
CHIRETTA-KIRETTA = 1gm
GYOL = 4gm
AZWAIN = 6gm
MEETHI-SOUNF = 6gm
CHHOTI-PEEPAL = 3gm
NEEM-leaves = 25-30 leaves.
Make the powder of all above items and take one kadchi (i.e., kadchi used to prepare dal, vegetables etc.) and boil it in one and half litres of water for five minutes. Then let it be cool and afterwards sieve it. Now take half cup of this medicine and mix it with another half cup of fresh water. Take one cup of this medicine in the morning empty stomach. It must be continued for three months. You can also do kunjal kriya but it will have to be learnt by an expert. You can also do Uttanpada asan, bhujang asan, tiddi asan. Padam asan to overcome the problem. Prannayam will also help you. But all this yoga path will have to be learnt by an expert yogi in presence.
Akanksha: What will be the result of my 1st semester examination?
Swami Ram Swarup: My dear daughter, you might have listened to the saying- ‘As you sow so shall you reap’. Therefore, I think you would have gone through your studies well and would get good marks.
Jitender Kabir: Swamiji, is there any universal definition of good and bad?
Swami Ram Swarup: Yes, please. Vedas state he who listens to Vedas and does pious deeds based on Vedas it means he is learned, gentle, honest and noble man and always does pious deeds. But those who do deeds against Vedas, shastras and holy books are not good or gentle persons. So, to act according to Vedas is pious deeds and against Vedas, shastras, holy books is a sin.
