In this video podcast, Arjuna is confused as to which manner he should pray. Should he pray to God who is formless or to God who has a form?  Many times we are unsure of the correct process of how things should be done and why.  The Lord answers this question in chapter 12 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.  We will also explain why devotees utilize a murti (icon/image/statue) during worship.

Which is better, worshiping God who is formless or God who has a form?

In this katha, Hanuman confronts and fights the demons approaching him.  In the same manner, we need to confront our problems (demons) of life.

Standing up to the demons of life

Sita Maa knowing that she is separate from the body, wants to leave her body due to her being kidnapped by Ravana.  Unfortunately we may want to give up our life when faced with great problems and difficulties.  However, we must understand that this is NOT what God’s wants us to do.  Don’t Give Up!

We will also speak on cremation vs. burial and give logical proof that the soul exists with all of us.

Suicide - Don't Do It

In the episode, Vivishana instructs Hanumanji how and where he can find Sita Maa.  In the same manner, we all need proper guidance in finding God.  There are various ways of achieving this goal such as the practice of Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga and Gyaana yoga.  Failure to tread the path leading to God will result in us becoming lost in this world.

How to Find God

In this episode Vivishana relates to Hanumanji that he feels like the tongue between the teeth.  Have you ever feel trapped or are there people in your life that are always on the attack? How can we become free and acquire the Lords blessings?

The Tongue Between the Teeth

Hanuman goes into Lanka and sees various mandirs where the demons worship.  However, he does not see Sita Maa who is a representation of God.  Are these structures true mandirs that are devoid of God:? What is a mandir and what makes a mandir?
