Question from Rosemary: I’m an active animal advocate for factory farm animals: pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, sheep and fish. We already know human souls reincarnate to deal with karma and may choose challenging experiences so their souls can grow. Have these animal souls chosen abusive experiences so their souls can grow? What happens to these sentient beings’ souls after they’re inhumanely slaughtered? Can…
Question from Cyril: Will we ever see a righteous war on this earth (in Dwapara Yuga), one that might help to sway the power from the hands of those in control? Or spiritual peoples role is to stay in the silence and fight their inner enemies in the battle of kurukshetra for inner freedom? Or are those righteous wars only found in our…

Question from Anon: I want to stay anonymous because of the political situation in Hong Kong. I am an Indian living in Hong Kong. In the past few months, we have seen The US basically collapsing — racial tension, political divide, and rise of the extreme left and right-wing politics. On the other hand, China is becoming extremely aggressive and killing people in…
Question from Vicky Arora: Why is it so that different Masters taught different ways of OM chanting? Some say it is AUM not OM. Swami Vivekanand ji also told it is AUM.

Question from Samuel: 1-What are Ananda’s teachings on: Wicca, Paganism, Druidism, New Age, Tarot, fortune-telling, Ouija, Voodoo… I hear young people are joining these “religions”.
