Question from Ajay Diwanji: Should we continue our friendship with people who have treated us badly for whatever reasons and betrayed our trust?

Question from Wilma Jeuring: In studying the Yugas I understand that there is an upward tendency that takes many eons, but also a downward tendency.

Question from Joann_mcdemott@yahoo.com: Regarding the yugas, is it not a personal and consequently a cultural choice as to what era one is living in? Karmically as well as physically and spiritually?

Question from sharon: When lifeforms achieve once more the infinite and merge back into the vast consciousness, will there be any consequence to the infinite; having had part of it go out that way … deflate, re-inflate, and return again?

Question from k: I recently watched on Discovery about existence of parallel universe on other side of blackhole. Does astral worlds and causal worlds lie behind black hole?

Question from Kailash: Just a question that I wanted to ask out of curiosity — Are the tales in Ramayan true or mostly symbolic? My brother refuses to believe in the epic, for which I replied that most of the stories might have been symbolic ones created by saints in the past to explain Man’s battle with evil. But he needed an answer,…
