“Participant 1 question: “Swamiji when we meditate on a particular…”
Participant 1 question: “Swamiji when we meditate on a particular chakra, we play the cassette, for 20 minutes here just sit and hear this facing the mic..”
Swamiji: No, no, no don’t alter any techniques, no, no masala. Techniques should be followed totally and completely.
Participant 1 question: “The mantras for the chakras..”
Swamiji: Mantras for the chakras, yes, yes, yes, that is separate technique. Just listen the technique and listen the mantra and concentrate on the chakra, that is ok. That is ok.
Participant 1 question: “And afterwards, silence?”
Swamiji: Afterwards, no, then there is no need for silence, that itself is enough. You see, concentrating on that particular chakra, listening to that mantra is by technique itself. So if you do it even for few minutes, ok. You can do.
Participant 2 question: “You have the cassette, Swamiji?”
Swamiji: Yes, Today you will be given a cassettes. Some cassettes will be presented to you. Other things you can see. There are so many mantra cassettes released, particularly for the chakras. For each chakra separate cassettes.

Participant 4 question: “Is there no one combination for all the chakras? Is the Gayatri mantra all in one?”
Swamiji: No, Gayatri also belongs to another chakra, that's all.
Participant 4 question: “In the Manipura meditation, when the gibberish comes, I saw the English thoughts coming, so it is as if I am engaging.”
Swamiji: No, no, no, again, again and again create more loudness and create more loud voice, then language will disappear.
Female voice: “Inaudible”
Swamiji: Nothing can get rid of.. In Bharat nobody cares. Don’t bother. The States only all those things. In Bharat nobody cares. In every house such a big grinder is going and you can’t be more loud than grinder.
Participant 5 question: “One question Swamiji, when we are listening to the mantra, should we know the meaning of each word?”
Swamiji: There is no need. No, no, no, no, no. You can’t know the meaning also. If you don’t concentrate on the meaning and you will create one more unnecessary inner chattering. There is no need for meaning. You see this very vibrations are capable to create energy in you. Don’t bother.
Participant 6 question: “Swamiji, pronunciations should be correct, na?”
Swamiji: You don’t, don’t. Better you listen, that’s enough.
Participant 7 question: “So, just listen and concentrate?”
Swamiji: Just listen and concentrate, that's enough. You start pronouncing, naturally it will create little difficulty. Just listen and concentrate, that’s enough.
Participant 8 question: “What is the significance of 21 days?”
Swamiji: Because the 21 days is maximum time. Your mental setup will change. 21 days if you do something, aa, any activity, your mental setup will fall in tune with that activity. Whether it is a good or bad. 21 days will create a cycle.
No problem. Some villagers, they come and break coconut on anantheshwara. But what to do? That is the way they worship him for a long time. He was the, this Murti was only, same.. This is the Murti Swayambhu. This was inside that cave. That’s originally, automatically, it came for.. You see, the originally story goes, the local people they believe the original tree was 300 years old. They build a small temple in front of the tree. That temple is also covered by the tree in course of time. That’s what has happened. So inside the temple, only the Swayambhu was there. It automatically, it came, by itself, the Swayambhu. So they were worshiping that Swayambhu. Now because people are not able to go inside and worship, otherwise they will disturb the tree. I know this place will become very popular. Or their International spiritual center and that is the reason I don’t want the tree to be disturbed, that's why we brought it outside. So that the people can worship easily and comfortably. And there is a prediction in Nostradamus. Any of you have read that prediction?
Some female voice: “Inaudible”
Swamiji; You have not read? Young man with the turban will rise from the New city of Bharat. If he claps, the disease will disappear. He will create the world's biggest spiritual center. A man with the turban. Ha?
Participant 9 question: “There is a sign on the road saying Munishwara temple. So is this?”
Swamiji: Yes, this is. This is the Munīswara. Munīswara means Ishwara Munis. Dakshinamurti. See the four Munis sitting. That Vigraha, see four Munis sitting. Ishwara Munis. Munīswara.
Female voice: “Inaudible”
Swamiji: I don’t know, but a.. To whom he said?
Female voice: A younger from Chennai.
Swamiji: Ok. Actually in my life. Ramswaroop.. What to say? He played a major role. He’s, he’s a wonder. His presence was a great blessing for me. When I was 10 year old boy, if you read biography the incident is there. 10 year old boy. Actually he used to sit in the temple. We have to cross the temple to go to my school. So, only when the exam comes all the boys, small boys will go and put the exam pad at his feet and ask: “Will we pass the exam? Will we pass the exam?” He use to sit alone, nobody will be there around him. He use to tell: “Alright, you will pass.” Or sometimes he will tell: “Go, go, go” or he will tell “Ram Ram”, something like that.
When I went and put my pad, that day I’ll be sweet and ask him: “Will I pass my exam?” He said: “You will pass in your life.” He just said: “You will pass in your life.” Tamil. Then I was, I was not able to understand what it means. I wanted only exam, Who cared about the life that time? I was standing there: “No, no, will I pass the exam?” I was asking. He just laughed. He didn't answer. One elderly lady was there nearby. She said: “Now you don’t know, but remember these words, you will understand the meaning, when time comes.
