Q: Can we chant sanskrit mantras without knowing their meanings?
A: Yes, something is better than nothing. Initially one uses mantras, then one progresses to meditation, kriya etc. Ultimately, one needs only silence to realize the divine.
Q: How does God appear?
A: How does the sun rise? Have you seen a sun rise? No? Then you must get up early & see how the sun rises. The universe is a complex thing, full of mysteries...
Q: There are people who are in the wrong path. How can we change them?
A: If you want to change them because you get hurt, you cannot change them. If you want to change them because they will get hurt, they will change automatically. (Thunderous applause that kept resonating for a long long time. People were lifted straight to the heaven with his reply)
Q: If God resides inside our hearts why should we go to the temples?
A: When God resides in your heart you can take God along with you and show him the outside world including the temples. There existed a practice of sitting in the temple for some time after the darshan. This is mainly to close ones' eyes and spend time with the Lord inside.
Q. What does one do when spirituality starts disturbing your social life?
