Please refer to query raised on Monday, December 1, 2014 "I had few queries related to God's Sleep.(A different one.. not the night one..) During Chaturmas we hear that this is the time when "Lord Vishnu" sleeps or is in Yoga Nidra. ........... "
Yes, it’s been long
silence and I am sorry about that! Yet, I am glad that few of you did not waste
this ‘free time’ but instead used it to read the old blogs that you had missed
reading or re-read the old posts to refresh your memory. Good. And as I gather
from you all, you have learnt quite a few things about yourselves and the solutions
to your issues too in this ‘re-run’. Good again!
Now coming to Vaibhav’s
query (see comments section dt. Monday, December 1, 2014 ). Vaibhav
where the _______ do you get these doubts from? And you read about ‘yoga nidra’
of Lord Vishnu? Really? At your age, what books are you reading where Lord
Vishnu’s Yoga Nidra is mentioned! I really would like to know that! But seriously,
I am really, really happy and proud of you. At your age, to be having this bent
is really amazing. I just wish and bless that you keep up this bent of
questioning and reading! God bless you!
It’s amazing that you
not only read such books but also contemplate on such topics, question them and
seek answers. As long as youth of this society have this questioning bent of
mind, Hinduism will never die. It doesn’t need forced ‘convertism’. No one need
do anything (external) to save it, protect it or spread it. It’s all about the
way of life. Hinduism is the only religion in this world which doesn’t have a
prophet or a founder. It’s ‘sanatana Dharma’ – i.e., ageless and ever flowing
right way of life. It’s not based on fixed set of principles or a list of do’s
and dont’s. those who understand it will do nothing to harm others or be
forceful in their conduct in the name of ‘saving Hinduism’. It stands on it’s
own – it has always stood the test of time. We aren’t the custodians who
protected it during all these aeons of time. So, relax! Let be!
Does that mean ‘that as
a Hindu we don’t have our set of duties.’
Yes, we do. That is to go within and find ourselves. Question all that bothers
us and find our way towards peace, love and completeness through the maze of
life. That is all there is to Hinduism. All
the traditions, rituals, customs are just woven around the philosophy that says
‘know who you are!’ that’s all!
Everything that is
done, lived is to know ‘who am I’? But instead of finding ourselves we are lost
in correcting or converting others – in various ways!
Next, when you ask a
question, never say ‘sorry etc ..’ (This I tell one and all!). as you all know,
I started writing because we couldn’t interact on regular basis personally because
of our life-styles et all and yet you
all wanted to ! so, I started this blog. Like our class, this is also on
interactive basis and I’ve re-emphasized it again and again.
I try as far as
possible to answer your queries and clarify your doubts. So, shoot your
questions – right and left. But yes, I would like to request you to bear with
me with patience and not get irritated, depressed or angry when I am not able
to reply immediately. There be with me. That’s all!

Hi Mam,
Thank you so much for appreciation.. It really means a lot to me...I am feeling Very Very Elated :) :) .
Yes, I can surely tell from which Book I have read them but unfortunately I feel I should not mention the name over here for some reasons...Those who are really Interested can drop in their email to hihero96@gmail.com and I shall guide them on this.
Truly speaking I loved this appreciation a lot but it would be very unfair if I take the whole credit.
Dear Mam, its because of your Zest, your interest and politeness with which you read our queries and answer them.. this again makes me to contemplate on every single word that I read here and outside this blog and ask you Questions and also I am indebted to that Guruji whose books I have read and have accumulated so much knowledge about God,Religions,Cultures,Sanathana Dharma,Hinduism etc...
What you see in me is because of you, I can confidently ask you Q's because I am confident that you will take time and read them and then answer them.
1000's and many more salutations to you!!! :) :)
And finally after posting this Q.. i was eagarly waiting for your answers to know about this Yoga nidra etc.. I was getting excited but was never angry/dissapointed etc.. as I know that you too have your own personal life and spritual life and some higher responsibilities and I have to wait for this as much as possible :)
Well said vibhav even i learnt something from you thank you very much thanks to my guru who taught me through
