In understand that god is everything, that is inanimate and animate things.Its ignorance to say that god isnt this. So, given that god is all forms of energy -my question is -Is god inclusive of negative energy too? Is the negative energy or evil the manifestation of himself too? Given that energy is neither created nor destroyed and So exactly is stated in Upanishads about god/Vishnu. Even the food we eat is para Brahma svarupam- meaning form of god. we are basically converting on form-food to energy of the body which is god again. Also as we hindus believe that lord Shani is negative energy and in reality he is the manifestation of Lord shiva himself! So is god negative energy too? According to bible, Crucifus was a disciple of god and he rebelled against him. But again he is a part of god who is ignorant about his existence. Is that true? So Bodily cleanliness to chant mantras is true when youu treat urself as a body but when you realize you are that pure conciousness that is never polluted by any form of bodily or mind impurities- Is the cleanliness so important for chanting mantra? cant I just wake up from bed and start chanting it right away? And why Cant we chant during our menstruals- given that we are not this body at all and we are part of that pure conciousness too? Please lemme know.Thanks

Such gifts should be given to priests only. In Shastra-s, there is no provision is available forgiving gifts to women. But according to me, it is better to give these gifts to those who really need them. Once everything is done, invite poor and elderly couple and offer them food and give them basic gifts such as clothes, etc.

I am blessed to have landed on your profound website. My grandma passed away on 28/02/2015 and all of us are confused with the correct rituals. The elders in the family often rely on the priest to conduct ceremonies for which none of us knew the significance. But miracles happen that books of PURANA that once a boring and totally disregarded books NOW can be SEEN and READ smoothly. I was very curious of the proper funeral rites and somehow found GARUDA PURANA. Now I have barely a week to perform the 16th day prayers. Pertaining to the prescribed GIFTS-Umbrella, clothes, vessels etc, how do I give it and to whom I should give it? Should i just present the gifts in a tray and offer during the prayers? or offer it to the priest? Since priest is always male, will it be proper to offer saree and woman's sandals? I am confused. As for now I am offering Bhagvad Gita and Garuda Purana as these are what I could do. I hope you could shed some lights. May the Lord Hari dispels the darkness in my thoughts. Thanking you in advance for your kind time and attention.

Dear sir Namaste,During our visit to Sirkazhi temple in TN, we found that there is a Bhairava who does not fall in any description i had known earlier called the Settainar Bhairavar. He wears Vishnu's skin as his clothes that gives him the name "Chettainar or Settainar" His bones as malas and his ayudham is gadha made of spine & Skull of Lord Vishnu.We did try to get more information but due to our handicap with tamil, we were not able to get more knowledge about himcan you please enlighten us about himregardsJagadish

These faiths vary from person to person. The ultimate reality is declared through Upaniṣad-s. One may ask whether Scriptures are true or not. Scriptures are meant to strengthen our faith in Gods and also lay foundation for ethical standards of living. Lord Rama lived as a normal human being and hence He worshiped Surya. Krishna though incarnated as a human being, He portrayed Himself as God and as Godly figure He revealed Absolute Truth through Bhagavad Gita. Scriptures are for beginners and Upaniṣad-s and/or Bhagavad Gita are for those who seek to know formless Brahman.
