Question

(My English not very good). I have a great desire: to find the right person, get married and have family. I am 38. I passed through bad relationships for many years. I missed lots of opportunities but now I am willing to do all the right things and take the right attitudes to maintain a good and health relationship. If it is possible that praying and beg to God he makes a miracle and send me a person very quickly and get married before getting older, before it’s too late? Please help me.

Question

I just wanted to know your opinions on having pets at home. Does one get, for instance, "bad karma" for keeping a bird in a cage as a pet, even if it is allowed to often fly around the house?

Also, we recently got kitten but a relative has advised us that keeping a cat may be against certain Hindu beliefs. Being vegetarian, we are indeed animal enthusiasts (but not overly so); however, is it sinful to keep animals (especially cats) as domestic pets?

Thank you for the clarification.

Around the full moon I often am moody and short of temper. What can I do to keep this from occuring. Would a bangle help? Also, while on the topic of bangles, I have noticed in a photo of Master he is wearing three. Does anybody know why.

Question

Have humans evolved from apes by natural selection, or are we the result of a special creation by God?

Or, moreover, does the answer include both these views?

Thanks,

Question

Hi,

I've studied a little bit of Artificial intelligence and what i've come to understand is that Humans are an abstraction of God and what we are trying to do is make Robots an abstraction of humans.... We can emulate the human behavior and psychology into a robot..... if we achieve this and to certain level we have, does it mean that robots too have consciousness similar to us. Can robots, in future, seek God??????

Question

Recently, I have been very interested on the subject of evolution (in terms of physical transmutations and speciation) and have thoroughly investigated the claims of both materialistic science and religious advocates. However, when it comes to HUMAN evolution, there are about as many different theories as there are people. The Vedic perspective seems to broadly agree with Darwinian evolution, but Yogananda has stated that humans were an act of special creation. Whence and how did humans emerge?
