challenges and doubts

[Guest guest]

Namaste Narasimhayeji

 

Hari Aum,

 

I know it's been quite sometime since I wrote or asked any questions

however I have few questions.

 

(This email is not to hurt/offend anyone's emotions or sentiments

however if it does then please accept my apologies)

 

I have full faith and trust in Lord Shiva and Rudraksha beads that I

have been wearing. I wear 1 mukhi – 19 mukhi of Nepal & Java beads

and I am also wearing multiple beads of Ganesha, 4 Mukhi, 6 Mukhi, 7

Mukhi, 8 Mukhi. I have been chanting Ganesh Mantra & Shiv Mantra

nearly daily as suggested by you to others in this forum.

 

1. This has started to happen to me lately (might be with others

too).

This has never happened to me but since the time I have taken a new

job in December 2008 and new projects there is a very high

insecurity and fear that I am facing with myself. My confidence

level is low and the fear of losing my job is high. I do understand

the current world economic situation however if one has security and

confidence in himself then he can face this situation with courage

rather then be stressed and depressed or have the fear to lose his

job. The positive attitude is not at its high as it used to be or

rather to put in short I am very disturbed and the negative thoughts

have started to rise up. If you happen to go thru my earlier

responses I have been a very positive and assertive person very

clear as to what I want and where to go however the negative

emotions are trying to take over and there is a huge fight going

on. I know mediation and mantra chanting is good and helps however

there might be a positive aspect but it is very subtle and gets over

ruled by the negative emotions.

 

What would you suggest for me and people like me who are facing this

to do so that we prepare ourself to be stronger emotions and

spiritually?

 

2. There are so many mediation workshops happening or being

conducted all over the world. Most of the people might do few

different kind of these workshop like reiki, pranic healing, art of

living, Yogam, Kriya Yoga however how do I figure out which one is

good for me and which one to proceed because finally all of them

lead to the final destination. Just as an example initially you feel

happy and joyous with art of living and then after few months or

years, you want to do kriya yoga by Pramahansa Yoganandaji and then

again after few months of years you want to do Yogam by Pramahasa

Nithyanandaji. Ofcourse all are great and good but then which one is

good for me cause by trying all of these you are just circling or

swimming the spiritual ocean around the same area but in a different

style or way instead of progressing and going further in the

spiritual ocean. I don't know how true it is now but it is said that

if you are ready to have a Guru to help you grow and make progress

in the spiritual path then he will find you however these days there

are many Guruji but we go to him and we go to so many so how do we

know he is the one.

 

How can I find out which workshop and guruji is good for me or with

which one should I proceed with?

 

3. As per the mythology and various stories and from what I have

read Lord Vishu and Lord Shiva respect and help each other a lot as

friends or buddies. What kind of relation they have is a mystery to

me or how are they connected.

 

(I might be wrong) When Lord Ram wanted help; Lord Hanuman was there

to help him find Sitaji and win the war against Ravana. Hanumanji is

said to be an avtar of Lord Shiva (I might be wrong).

Lord Ram prayed to Lord Shiva to help him cross over to Lanka thru

the ocean.

When Lord Krishna was born Lord Shiva came to his place for his

darshan. He sat there for 3 days before Yashodaji gave Lord Shiva

(who was dressed as a Swami with very long hair) Lord Krishna's

darshan.

Similarly there are lots of stories and facts where Lord Vishu has

helped Lord Shiva in situations and vis-versa

 

Is there anything in any books which talks about their relationship,

friendship and their connections?

 

Aum Namah Shivaye
