Namaste Sir, On this auspicious day of Guru Purnima, my pranāms to you and to all our Gurus in this paramparā and to Ma Lalitha MahaTripuraSundari Parabhataarika. In our tradition, Guru is the most exalted- compared to Bhagavān- an equivalent or even higher. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank you for all that I have learnt from you and manblunder website. I am so glad that you are here for us answering our queries and teaching us. I pray that I will be able to meet you soon. Regards, Pratima

Can you please explain what is meant by "He is aware that ownership of actions does not belong to the living beings and therefore neither concerned with actions of others nor his own actions. He knows that he is either directly or indirectly responsible for such actions." as both are contradicting each other. He is not doing the work as Brahman is doing it but how then he is directly or indirectly responsible for it?

It is mentioned as dakṣabāhumūle (दक्षबाहुमूले), which means right arm pit.

I think it is 100,000 repetitions for performing purascharana. In all the sessions you have to do nyasa, when you are doing mantra japa for purascharana.

Dear Sir, I cannot thank you enough for your articles. I have a question and I hope you can help me. I am planning to do purascharana of Sri Matangi mantra Aim Namah Ucchishta Chandali Mathangi Sarvajana Vashankari Swaha Would you kindly tell me how many repetitions are prescribed for purascharana of this mantra? Also if I do japa in multiple sessions during the day, is nyasa required for every sitting? Thank you very much for your time.

So for a yogi does it mean that when is working on something and when he is not doing anything he sees both the situations as one and the same? Meaning if the action needs to be performed he will perform it and will not be inactive (which is a sin) and when does not do anything even then his mindset is the same. But what does it mean by "in activity he sees inactivity and inactivity he sees activity"

What does it mean by "But atman is not active unless and until He is realised by the mind and intellect, as the atman remains veiled by maya or illusion". Does atman take control of the person once intellect Realizes the Self?
