Question   What is the use of Mantras and Tantra in the present scientific age?
Answer  

Scientific age does not mean becoming limited in one’s perception. There are many mysteries which science has not yet been able to solve. Mantra and Tantra can be used to solve the same.

Science believes that what we see is the truth and if something cannot be observed then it cannot be true. Let me ask you something. You know that the name of your father is Han Shankar Sharma. How do you know he is you father? Can science prove it? Is there any need to prove it?

You know Han Shankar Sharma is your father because all those around you have told you so. And you firmly believe this in this scientific age. You proudly call Han Shankar Sharma you father when the fact is that you never saw him becoming your father. The people of your house told you so and you believed them.

Quite similarly being the head of this spiritual family I am telling you that Mantra and Tantra are very authentic. Through them one can progress greatly in life. This fact is as true as the fact that the person you call your father is your father.

Question   When we tell our friends, relatives and others that we are accomplishing Sadhanas or we chant Mantras they make fun of us. What should we do?
Answer  

When a very simple minded person walks down the street the dogs start to bark at him. You can yourself guess what he should do in this situation. If he throws a stone at a dog then four more dogs shall join them because it is their nature to bark. He might even call out to them lovingly or offer them food but they will not stop barking. A determined person is not affected by this. He neither changes his path nor does he slow down.

It is the habit of people to criticise others and to laugh at others. They do not have any work. They want to show they are something and hence they take to criticising others.

Let me tell you that even the Nobel prize winner Wen Swimer, American scientist Ginan Jirmi and famous geologist Aram Hill have great faith in Mantras. They spend some time daily in worship. Not just this the father of modem science, Albert Einstein, accepted the presence of the divine,

Question   We try many Sadhanas but we do not get results. What is the reason for this?
Answer  

Every person wants to become rich like Birla and Tata. Everyone wants to be powerful like the political leaders. Many want to be scientists. But all do not succeed. The reason is that they do not fully concentrate in the fulfilment of their aim. A person often tries many things at one time. His energy dissipates and he does not get the desired result or the results are delayed.

Birla, Tata, or the scientists or famous men are humans with two hands, two feet and two eyes just like you and us. The difference is that they remain fully concentrated in their aim, while we try to do many things or our efforts are not concentrated.

When you try a Sadhana become fully immersed in it. Just think about it constantly. If this happens then sure enough you shall attain the desired level of success. There are thousands of Sadhaks whose letters the magazine has received who have attained the success in Sadhanas. If they can succeed then sure enough you can succeed too. All you need is patience, concentration and full devotion.

Question   Why do people fear the word Tantra?
Answer  

Why do people fear a wire carrying a 440 volt current? The reason is that as soon as it is touched with naked hands one gets a shock and one could even die. But we cannot say that electricity is useless or dangerous, because it makes life so easy. Similarly Tantra produces results immediately and is a very powerful system. Action and reaction in it is immediate. But if used with wisdom then through it the whole life could be made comfortable, successful and prosperous.

Question   We try to chant Mantras devotedly but we are not able to concentrate. What should we do?
Answer  

Present age is of deceit, fraud lies and hence we have no control over our minds. Till we are not free of these we cannot concentrate the mind. For concentrating the mind there is no medicine or potion or process. The best way is to get up early in the morning before sun rise and have a bath. Then one should sit in the open in loose clothes and try to become thoughtless. Try to remove all thoughts from the mind. With regular practice you shall be able to achieve the state of thoughtlessness.

After some days you shall have full control over your mind and then you shall be able to concentrate in Sadhnas.
