How to Change the Future of Hinduism
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) answers our questions. The first question concerns which rudraksh to wear to benefit our lives. Paramahamsa replies that he can give only general info until he receives specific details about the energy of the wearer. The second question asks which elements of Hinduism need to be changed to allow a successful future for the religion. Paramahamsa gives a wealth of recommendations, the most crucial of which is that Hindus must gain clarity and commitment about their traditions. The final question asks why we are taught that last rites given in an energy field such as Kailash are more effective for our karma. Paramahamsa replies that the energy field amplifies the intention to make it more powerful. In addition, when the last rites are performed by an enlightened master, the cosmos hears them as a command for liberation -- the soul receiving the rites is guaranteed its freedom. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Question: From Jyan Raypuria, IA Id#20 who's asking, Pranaam to guruji, In one of your satsangs, I have heard you mention that wearing rudraksh is good. There are various types of rudraksh available; 1 mukhi, 5 mukhi, 11 mukhi etc..I am single for life and want to have health, wealth, basic relationship with family without any attachment and rise highest in spirituality. Which rudraksh mala is to be worn? Or should be it be a mix of types of rudraksh? Whether rudrash mala should be touching the heart or should it the next size touching the throat? With gratitude, Jyan Raypuria IA ID #20 Swamiji: First, in this one question, there are so many questions!! He's asking what kind of rudraksh I should wear? Should it be 5 mukhi, 1 mukhi, 11 mukhi? How it should be? What size ? To tell you honestly. I can give only generalized answer here. Wear Gowrishankar on the throat and 5 mukhi on the below anandagandha, just below the heart center, this is a generalized instruction. If you want specifically, you better ask me in the energy darshan, I will see your energy and guide you. That is the only way, specific for the results, for what you want, I'll be able to guide you to have your own rudraksha mala, so ask me in the energy darshan, that's the best way I can help you. Question: From Mani KR, IA ID #78 Is Buddhism spreading fast compared to vedic culture and widely accepted in the world's spiritual area, because it doesn't have caste system? Devotional movement 'bhakthi yeyakum' diluted the density or intensity of Hinduism? Buddhism has more universality, 'ulagha podu nanmai'. For future and better prospects of Hinduism, What are elements in Hinduism that need to be changed? What needs to be eliminated? What needs to be supported and nurtured? If you are allowed to get a chance to run all Hindu mutt what all actions and steps you will take to revive them? Swamiji: Mani, first thing Hinduism needs is sincerity, nothing else. You are asking 3 questions, Buddhism doesn't have caste system? No, Caste system is not a reason The devotional movement, did it dilute the intensity of Hinduism? No, Buddhism as enough of devotion and devotional movements. Has Buddhism more universality? No, Buddhism is the baby of Hinduism, Buddhism does not have anything that Hinduism doesn't have. Only thing Hinduism needs is a little backbone to stand and practice and share with the world, nothing else. Where are the Hindus? All you fellows are Indian born capitalists. Do not ever claim you are Hindus, you are all degraded, destroyed, capitalistic, half westerners, not even fully, because even westerners when they really saw the end of capitalism, they are turning towards spirituality. They are understanding the necessity for the spiritual depth. You are completely, confused, that is the right word I will use. First thing Hinduism needs is inspiration and sincerity in what you stand for. Inspiration and sincerity. Trust these great truths are useful to us and useful to the world. See in Buddhism, youngsters are continuously encouraged, inspired, excited to be become monks and radiate their energy, intelligence in spreading Buddhism. In Hinduism, to make one person into a sanyasi, God!! How much I have to suffer, struggle, inspiring that person, and then fighting with the whole family, because the whole society is going against this, creating more and more teachers and preachers for Hinduism. The moment somebody feels a little depressed in the sanyas training, immediately he or she runs away because whole society is waiting to receive them back, there is no reason to be a little stronger or sincere. I tell you, my whole sangha is kept alive against the current of the main stream; it is not along with the current of the mainstream. But in Buddhist organizations: see, the energy and the experience I am sharing, if I was born and brought up as a Buddhist, by now I will be sitting, maybe with one lakh sanyasis, Buddhist sanyasis , because the whole infrastructure is available,
