Why is it that we can never truly help another person?
Question Detail: I remember hearing this addressed in a speech, but I need to be reminded again. So many times I get proud about helping others, even though I know I shouldn't be.
Answer: Out of goodness, we desire to see another person make good choices and do things that lead to their happiness. However, no matter how clear it is to us when they are harming themselves through destructive thinking patterns, or by missing spiritual opportunities by disregarding the need for God in their life, we cannot change another person's mind. We can advise, educate, and motivate, but no matter how much we want to, we can't change another person's mind. They have to do that themselves. When it comes to physically helping someone, we should remember that we are actually helping ourselves. By doing something good, we find peace of mind, and develop the sattvic quality of our personality. As for the person, they will only get what's coming to them. In other words, if it was in their destiny to receive help, they would have received it from someone else if not from you. So you are merely an instrument of their destiny (according to their own past lives' karm). In that way, you can remain humble by knowing that they were not dependent on you, and they would have gotten the help from somewhere else anyway. Which is not to say that you shouldn't have helped them - you should, because it is the right thing to do - but also keep in mind that you are not in any way "saving" them. 0 views1 answers0 votes

Question Detail: I am following maharaji only and listens to his divine words and read books and do Ananya bhakti and in my room there is only maharaji .My Parents go to all types of temples and some times i have to go .We get so many gods dieties and people force me to keep in my room but i only keep maharaji and Radha Krishna.Is it ok to take out dieties from my room such as Sai baba ,Laxmi ji etc and keep in prayer room .What should i do ?.Keep going to different temples or just follow maharaji and follow only his instructions ?
Answer: Radhey Radhey, It is important to be ananya, and if you are able to keep you personal space for devotion dedicated to only Maharaj Ji and Radha Krishna, that is ideal. It is a very good option to keep the other deities in the prayer room. You are being respectful. Going to temples where there are many forms of God depicted in the various moortis is okay - you can see them all as forms of Radha Krishna. Radha Krishna have taken all these forms, so see Radha Krishna in them, and do smaran of Radha Krishna. Nikhilanand Bhaiya 0 views1 answers0 votes
Bhagavad Gita
Question Detail: Why Kripalu Maharaja never wrote a Bhagavad Gita commentary?
Answer: Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj explained the essence of the Gita in all of his lectures and writings. In the book Prem Ras Siddhant, he has quoted over 100 verses of the Gita and explained them in relation to the statements of the Vedas/Upnishads, Puranas and Darshan Shastras. This is the proper way to learn the philosophy of the Gita, because it gives a broader context for the meaning of the verses and helps you understand how to practically apply it in your life. Hence, there is absolutely no need to study the Gita verse by verse. 0 views1 answers0 votes
after maharaj ji went to golokdham if sombody accept him as guru and do sadhna . can he achieve his ultimate goal ?
Answer: Radhey Radhey, Yes. I know many people who have come into contact with Maharaj Ji's satsang and teachings since 2013, and they are doing sadhana and feel that they are progressing on the path in exactly the same way that Maharaj Ji describes. Maharaj Ji is physically present with each devotee, and is gracing them, whether they have met him or not. It is up to us to listen to his teachings, follow them, do sadhana, and experience his grace for ourselves. Nikhilanand Bhaiya
