General Spiritual Queries
Where can I ask spiritual questions directly to Pujya Gurudev?
During most spiritual programs, a dedicated question-and-answer session is conducted where you may ask your questions directly in Gurudev’s presence. If you are unable to attend such programs, you may also write in detail to swamiji.office@gurutattva.org, where your query will be reviewed through the appropriate channel.
How can I resolve my personal problems?
Personal challenges can be gradually resolved through regular meditation, sincere prayer, inner surrender, and by attentively listening to Gurudev’s discourses. These practices help develop clarity, emotional balance, and inner strength, enabling you to face situations with awareness and acceptance.
How can I meet Gurudev personally?
Direct physical interaction with Gurudev is generally experienced during major events such as Gurupurnima, Chaitanya Mahotsav, Mahashivratri, and other scheduled programs. Beyond physical presence, sincere meditation and dedicated Guru Karya allow seekers to experience Gurusannidhya (subtle presence) in their daily spiritual journey.
Who can practice meditation?
Meditation is open to people of all ages and backgrounds. Anyone who feels drawn towards inner growth and self-awareness may practice meditation, irrespective of prior experience or belief system.
How can anger or ego be reduced?
Anger and ego can be reduced gradually through consistent meditation, sincere prayer, and inner surrender. Over time, these practices cultivate humility, patience, and self-awareness, helping you respond calmly rather than react impulsively.
