1. Will the fruits of deeds alter by doing sacrifice as per astrology? Is it better to leave everything to God without making these sacrifices?
[Smt. Amudha asked: Padanamaskram Swami. In a divine discourse which is related to astrology the following truth is mentioned, Pariharam is helping us in relief from current obstacles or suffering. Does it mean that fruits of deed are altered from original arrangements? Is that a good mindset or the thought to leave everything in God's hand and accepting the current pain or suffering or it is also good to do the Pariharas?]
Swami replied:- If you are capable to do sacrifice, you can do it by donating certain food items to beggars as per the astrological rules. If you are incapable of doing the sacrifice, at least pray to God for some relief. If you want to enjoy the fruits of your deeds without any alteration, leave everything to God so that you can enjoy all the fruits of your deeds without any disturbance to the constitution of God. One important point is that when you leave everything to God, don’t expect any help from God because the deeds and fruits run as per the strict wish of God only. In this third path, there is no expectation for some consideration.
2. Will speaking internally with You be influenced by the mind, logic, or emotion?
[Internal connect with God: Swami I am unable to explain what I feel or sense when I am speaking with You internally. Is soul or mind or awareness or logic or emotion involved in process? I am confused about it, I doubt if this question is valid. Please forgive me Swami if any mistakes.
Thank You Swami, I am getting guidance and support to progress on Your path in all aspect through true devotees, and I believe 100% it's full of Your grace. Nothing is coincidence and it's all Your Karunai. All goodness coming from You only Swami. I am grateful for everything and always want to be at Your Divine Lotus Feet Swami. Padanamaskaram Swami, Amudha]
Swami replied:- Talking with your consciousness means talking with God only. All emotions are recognized by God in these talks. God talks with everybody through their inner consciousness.
3. Is it true that one can find their body type (vata, pitta, kapha) with respect to the birth star?
[Smt. Amudha Sampath asked: Pada Namaskaram Swami ❤️]
Swami replied:- It is a very far fetched way. By catching the hand nerves with three consequent fingers, we can identify the body type. If the first finger receives intensive pulse beat it is Vaata predominance. If the second finger receives intensive pulse beat it is Pitta predominance. If the last finger receives intensive pulse beat it is Shleshma (Kapha) predominance.
4. Is Ayurveda and Siddha medicine the same?
[Request Note: Swami I am thinking of ayurveda, astrology and psychology topics sometimes but I am not sure if it really helps in the progress of spirituality.]
Swami replied:- Health of the body is very important for the spiritual journey as well as worldly life. Astrology also can help the line of Aayurveda. Siddha also comes under Aayurveda.
5. Can we study external sources of knowledge or better to focus on knowledge from God?
[Can we take or study external sources of knowledge or better to focus on knowledge from God and true devotee practices (Jnana, Bhakti and Karma yogas) which is the ultimate of all? At Your Divine Lotus Feet, Amudha Sampath]
Swami replied:- Both lines are important. The second line is very very important.
