1. If two souls mix, will two children come at a time?
[Shri satthireddy asked: Mee Paada Padmaalaku Namaskaaram Swamiji, In the Mahishasura story, Karambudu’s soul after death, merged with Rambudu. When Rambudu got married, his wife gave birth to two children. If two souls mix like this, two children will come at a time I didn't understand. Please explain Swamiji. Swamiji, if anything wrong is there in writing question itself please teach to this beggar satthireddy 🙏🙏🙏]
Swami replied:- When a soul is born to a specific couple, the soul comes into this world with its own inherent qualities only, which are acquired from past several atmospheres of several past births and the qualities of the parents do not have interference. Prahlada is born in the family of demons. As per genetic science, from the parents, certain mannerisms may come to the soul born but not the qualities. After the birth of the soul, the soul may be influenced by the qualities of the parents and this is a different subject. The soul will be influenced by the qualities of surroundings and if parents happen to be the surroundings, naturally the soul is influenced by the qualities of the surroundings. The case referred by you is a case of a divine curse in which the divine curse governs the whole subject matter and such case can’t be mentioned in the general procedure of environment.
Swami replied (with additional points): Even if one child is born, two human beings of different genders must unite. The number of children has no link with the number of souls uniting. Will one child be born to one human being of any gender? Will one or two children be born to two human beings of the same gender?
2. When people do deeds based on the country's rule book, why should souls undergo punishment in hell as per God's rule book?
[Astrology tells of the perfect administration of God, but on earth there are many constitutions and punishments for their crimes based on the country's rule book. But in some countries, prostitution and the farming of gaanja are legalized. If people do deeds based on the country's rule book, souls should undergo punishment in hell as per God's rule book? Swamiji, if anything wrong is there in writing the question itself please teach to this beggar satthireddy 🙏🙏🙏]
Swami replied:- The country’s rulebook, written by human beings, has a high probability of errors. To err is human. Hence, the divine constitution written by God is the final authority, which is always beyond all the human constitutions. Of course, in the divine constitutions, there may be difference due to the insertion of some wrong followers. Such few insertions can be easily identified with the help of sharp logical analysis. Finally, the conclusion is that the divine constitution is always based on logical analysis and can be easily identified.
Swami replied (with additional points): Generally, both rule books follow the path of justice. The rule book of a country may go wrong, but the rule book of God will never go wrong. The rule book of a country gets amended here and there through its parliament, but the rule book of God is never amended. Sometimes, we can escape the rule book of the country through corruption, but we can never escape the rule book of book, which is His divine administration.
3. Do the punishments of souls depend on their respective religious scriptures?
[Swamiji, punishments for souls will be based on the rule book of their own religion because for Hindus, punishments are based on Garudapuranam, and in western religions, it is said they will be fall into liquid fire because standards of mental planes of different souls are different. Please explain Swamiji? Swamiji, if anything wrong is there in writing the question itself please teach to this beggar satthireddy 🙏🙏🙏]
Swami replied:- The answer for this question is existing in the answer given above.
Swami replied (with additional points): The punishments may differ in certain minute details. But, the general characteristic of a punishment is to give suffering to the sinner and this basic characteristic does not change whatever may be the religious scripture.
