Prof Dubey: PP Swami ji pranam. krupya batayen ki kya kisi stri ke dwara uske pati ke atirikt jis se usne gandharv vivah kiya ho ke sath bhulbas kiye sharik sambandh ka karm phal use is janm me bhogna hoga ya agle janm me, aur kya / Gurudev yadi sambhav ho to shastra vachan bhi udhrat karne ki krupa Karen?
Swami Ram Swarup: Mera aapko ashirwad. Yeh paap us se agle janam mein bhogna hota hai. Yeh paap se bhi badhkar maha paap roop karma hai. In this connection, (Rigved mantra 4/16/10 refers).
S: Pranam guruji. Guruji I have a very simple question/doubt. Kya God ek student ko uske Karmoon ki saza aise dega ki wo bacchha padi main dhayan na laga paye. Matlab jab bhi wo padne baithe to uska dimag idar udar Jaye. yeah mere sath bhagwan Kar rahi in Hain yaa yeah mere hi kamzori hai. Main dhayan main bhi jab baith Tha hoon to bas yeah hi sanshay aate rehte Hain. GURUJI Main to havan bhi karta hoon, aur job ek student ko karna chaiye wo sab karne ki koshish to main karta hoon acc. to Vedas only. To ab miain aur kya Karon ki Mera dhayan padai people aajae.
Main hatash ho gaya hoon Guruji isliye aapke charnoon main aaya hoon.
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you. Beta hum yahan peechhle achchhe-bure karmon ka bhog bhogne aaye hain. Iisliye naturally yadi kisi student ka dil bilkul bhi padai main nahi lagta aur bahut koshish karne par bhi nahi lagta to yeh uska peechhle janam mein kiye bure kkarmon ka phal hai. Prantu yadi hum isey hee satya maan lein to phir na padhna aur bure karam karna iska dosh Ishwar par jayega jo ki aisa kabhi bhi nahi ho sakta. Isliye Ishwar ne Rigved mantra 10/135/4 mein spasht kiya hai ki manushya yoni mein jo bhi manushya ved ke gyata vidwaanon ke paas jaata rehta hai aur unki batai vedic pooja karta hai toh peechhle janam ka weh paap karma nahst hone lagta hai aur wahi vidyarthi apni mehnat se achchhe se achchhe number lekar paas ho jata hai aur uska future bright ho jaata hai. Vedic sach to yeh hai ki manushya jati ka janam ved marg par chalkar bhautik aur adhyatmik dono unnatti sath sath karne ke liye mila hai. Durbhagya yeh hai ki aaj prayah manushya bhautikwad ki chamak-damak mein khokar vedic adhyatmikvaad ka rasta tyag baitha hai aur phalswaroop dukhi rehta hai. Isliye aapko yeh advise hai ki aap nitya nimanlikhit karein:

GAYATRI MANTRA
The Gayatri mantra is as follows —
OM BHURBHUVAHA SWAHA TATA SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGODEVASYA
DHIMAHI DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODYAT
Meaning of Gayatri mantra stating each word is as follows. Its meaning is based on
Vedas and Sanskrit grammar. Grammatical hints are in short please.
Om has three Hindi words. Aa, Uu AND Ma. Aa is meant for Aakaar from which three
names of God are built, Viraat, Agni, and Vishwadi. From Uu = uukar from which
Hirannyagarbha, Vayu and Tejas names occur and Ma = makaar from which Ishwar,
Aditya and Praajyan aadi, holy names of God occur. Rigveda mantra 1/164/46 says
God is one but His names are several. But here OM the holy name of God is only being explained.
VIRAAT = Viraat word is made from dhatu ‘Rajrideeptau’ i.e., manifest. Therefore Viraat means He who manifests the universe. As God manifests the universe, thus
Viraat is the name of God. Rigveda mandal 10, sukta 129 states that like potter makes pot from clay, similarly God creates universe from non-alive matter prakriti.
Prakriti is unseen matter. From unseen matter, the whole universe is created in the visible form. Science also says that matter is never destroyed but changes its form.
Suppose a paper is burnt, paper changes its form into ashes. Then ashes are crushed and thrown in air. At this moment, the paper changed into ashes becomes invisible but was never destroyed. Similarly the whole universe at the time of final destruction is turned into prakriti i.e., into unseen form.
AGNI = From dhatu, “ANCHU GATI POOJANAYOHO” the word “AGNI is made. Its meaning is: He who is a form of wisdom. “SARVAJAYEN” i.e., Omniscient. That is, knows each and every atom of universe and even beyond universe. He who is to be known, to be gained and is worshipful. So Agni is the name of God.
VISHWA = Vishwa word is made from dhatu, “VISHPRAVESHANE”. Its meaning is He
in whom the universe is entering or He who is entering the universe. So being
omnipresent, Vishwa is the name of God.
HIRANNYAGARBHA = i.e., ” JYOTIRVAYIHIRANYAM”. Its meaning is, who is the base
of all sun, etc., luminous lokas or He who is the living place of all luminous lokas.
VAYU = from dhatu, “VA GATIGANDHANYOHO”, vayu word is made. Its meaning is
He who holds, gives life and destroys and is the mightiest amongst all. So the name
of God is Vayu.
TEJ = from dhatu, “TIJA NISHANE”, the word Tej is made meaning He who is self
made and self-enlightened and gives light to sun, moon, stars etc. God does not take
light from anywhere but gives light to sun, moon, stars, etc. so the unbroken,
unobstructed/unproduced and eternal form of light is Almighty God and not sun,
moon etc. So the name of God is Tej.
ISHWAR = from dhatu, “ISH ASHWERIYE”, the word Ishwar is made. Its meaning is
whose knowledge is thoughtful and true and He who has unlimited wealth, fortune
and glory etc. Therefore the name of God is Ishwar. Here it is not out of place to
mention that soul (man/woman) has limited qualities and are dependent whereas
God is independent and has unlimited qualities that is why He is God.
ADITYA = from dhatu, “DO AVAKHANDANE”, Aditya word is made. Its meaning is the one who cannot be broken into pieces and thus cannot be destroyed. So God’s name
is Aditya.
PRAJAYEN (PRAGYA) = from dhatu, “JYEN AVABODHANE”, Prajayen word is made meaning whose wisdom is totally without any misunderstanding and thus he who
knows every matter and behavior of whole universe without misunderstanding. So
God’s name is Prajayen. So here also it is not out of place to mention that illusion
can never attack on God and God is totally free from illusion.
BHUHU = “BHUHU ITI VAYEE PRANAHA” i.e., He who is the base of lives of universe,
is most beloved, even more than Prann i.e., breath. So Bhuhu is the name of God.
BHUVAHA= “BHUVAHA ITI APANAHA” i.e., He who is totally free from any sorrow,
and the soul removes his own all sorrows after coming in contact with Him. So the
name of God is Bhuvaha.
SWAHA = i.e., “SWAHA ITI VYANAHE” who is omnipresent in the universe and is
holding the same. So the name of God is Swaha.
SAVITUHU = He who creates the universe. So the name of God is Savituhu.
DEVSYA= who gives all pleasure/merriment, so the name of God is Dev.
VARENNYAM = He who is the most supreme and acceptable. God is most supreme
and acceptable for worship.
BHARGAHA = the purest entity (though God is formless, but finding no suitable
English word of Sanskrit word, “SHUDH SWARUPAM” the word entity has been used.)
TAT = i.e., the God i.e., of the purest entity.
DHIMAHI = i.e., we must hold (sort of meditation) because
YAHA = the God
NAHA = our,
DHIYAHA = mind(i.e., in our minds)
PRACHODYAT = by inspiration (fulfil the mind with wisdom)
MEANING
“We meditate the God who is the base of lives’ of universe, totally free from any sorrow, omnipresent, creates the universe, gives all pleasure/merriment, most supreme and acceptable, purest entity; May the God enlighten our minds with wisdom by His inspiration”.
Here it is not out of place to mention that idea of a (one) Ved mantra is based on ideas of several Ved mantras. So in the above Gayatri mantra, there are three things —-
Bhuhu, Bhuvaha, Swaha, Savituhu, Bhargaha, Devsya are some qualities amongst unlimited qualities of God. These are called Stuti i.e., to say about God with His real qualities and not self made etc.
Secondly Dhimahi means meditation i.e., one should always sit in meditation and do hard and pious deeds for which he will have to study Vedas in full, while discharging moral duties towards family and nation.
Third and last is DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODYAT. It is a prayer to God explanation of which is cited above.
HOW TO DO HAVAN
Please sit in the morning to perform havan. Havan must be in sunlight then it is more beneficial. Then half a bowl of fresh water with a tablespoon must be with you with small twigs especially of mango tree if possible, havan samagri, ghee, camphor and match box must be there with you. Please sit on sukh asan on four times folded blanket and blanket must be on mat.
Sukh asan i.e., sit on duly folded feet in comfortable position. Then first close your eyes and concentrate between two eyebrows and chant Gayatri mantra three times within heart and not by mouth. Then open your eyes.
Take one spoon of water in right palm. Chant this mantra, OM AMRITO UPASTRANMASI SWAHA and drink the water which you have put in your palm. Then again take the spoon of water in right palm then chant the next mantra, OM AMRITA APIDHANMASI SWAHA, and drink the water. Then again take the water in right palm and chant the mantra, OM SATYAM YASHAH SHRI MAYI SHRI SHRAYTAAM SWAHA, and drink the water. Then wash the right palm while sitting, with the same water kept in bowl.
Then put the twigs into havan kund with one piece of camphor and burn it. During this process chant the Gayatri mantra again and again till such time the fire is lighted sufficiently. Then chant the Gayatri mantra and at the last add the word Swaha and offer ghee with tablespoon, quantity equivalent to 4 to 5 drops. And if you are alone then also offer in fire pinch of havan samagri from your right hand’s finger and thumb avoiding forefinger. So this offering may be of 11 times, 21 times or 51 times as the time suits. It is the simplest way and I have not quoted the complete method of Yajna. The havan with Ved mantras are always offered as the best worship of God only please. Do havan daily and both times.
In the end of hawan, please pray to God to fulfill your desires. I hope God will sure listen to you.
PROCEDURE OF CHANTING
Please, start the day by chanting Gayatri mantra in the early morning sitting on suitable asan like Sukhasan, Siddhasan or Padmasan etc. concentrate on the point between two eyebrows which is called “Agyachakra”. The Gayatri mantra should be chanted along with its meaning both times. Also, please try to perform daily hawan even with Gayatri mantra. Then try to study any of my books daily and put up question if any.
After 15 days chant the Gayatri mantra only thrice thereafter do the name jaap of Almighty God-“Om”. The jaap must be done daily by heart and not orally.
Iske nitya abhyaas se bure karma bhi kateingey aur aagey chalkar dhyan lagna bhi shuru ho jayega.
Padai par lagne ke liye aapko jabardasti mehnat karke mann ko ekagra padai mein lagana hai. Hum jeevatma hain shareer nahi hain. Jeevatma mann ko order de ki woh padhega tabhi mann padai mein lagega. Hota yeh hai ki mann budhi ko bhrasht karke jeevatma se apni baatein manvana chahta hai ki T.V dekh, ghumne chal , baatein kar, soja itiyadi itiyadi. Ispar tumehin (jeevatma par) kabu karna hoga. Agar aap purusharthi hai toh upar kee baat maan leingey aur mehnat karenge aur mann ke gulam hain aur aalsi hain to jeevan main kabhi successful nahin ho paayeingey.
