Question from Jack Mason-Goodall: I am currently following the path toward kriya intitiation and have been practicing the Hong-Sau technique daily. However, for me the mental chanting of Hong-Sau does not have the same peaceful energetic resonance for me as other mantras that I have used in the past. Om Namah Shivayah has always resonated with me. Is there specific vibrations to Hong-Sau that…
Question from Vivek: I had a bad past because of my doings in my life, irresponsible, immature, fear, ego which resulted in a great failure.

Question from Trajan: Hello i am wondering would it be wrong of me to include Sri Anandamayi Ma with the Gurus ( Yogananda, Sri Yukteswar, Babaij, Jesus Krishna and Lahiri Mahasaya) even if she is not one of the SRF or Ananda gurus? As I feel a connection with Anandamayi Ma as I do with the Gurus.

Question from Bina: Hi! I read your answer on “Creating a Protective Aura.” [See link below]I have a doubt and want to clarify.

Will one bangle work for…
Question from Nina: Namashkar! I just read your answer on astrological bangles. Do the bangles extend protection only where life risk or physical injuries are destined because of some past bad karma, or do they ensure safeguard against other problems like mental and emotional injury, anger issues, human relationship issues, concentration problem etc?. The examples which you gave mostly entail protection from death…
Question from Bina: Dear Devarshi, Thank you so much for your answer which seems quite helpful. One question is how can stones or metal bangles, or rather why do they absorb bad karma?
