Anusthans

[Guest guest]

Q. 6. Does one himself benefit by doing Jap-Anusthan for others?

 

Ans. It is true that like helping the needy through one's own resources, a

person reaps spiritual benefits while performing Upasana- Tap for others

( " Distant therapy " ). The only condition is that it should be carried out to

support a deserving cause. On the contrary, if divine powers are sought to

further some misdeed, it becomes a sinful act. Purity of motive is, therefore, a

pre-requisite for an Anusthan.
