1. Shri Shankaracharya could not withstand black magic on Him. Please comment.
[Shri Soumyadip Mondal asked: Sashtaanga pronam Swamiji, Kindly clear my following doubts: You have said that black magic doesn't affect the good souls. But Shri Shankaracharya could not withstand black magic on Him. Please comment.]
Swami replied:- There is no point of Adi Shankaraacharya in trying to withstand the black magic since He is the incarnation of God Shiva, the ultimate destroyer of the entire creation. He wanted to leave the gross body and hence, He allowed it. Once, the same black magic attacked Him and failed. Second time, He wanted to leave the gross body since His program was over. Hence, He allowed the black magic done by Abhinava Gupta, a follower of Shakti cult.
2. What is the mission of Lord Hanuman after exemplary karma Samnyaasa in Ramayana?
[Lord Hanuman is Chiranjeevi. He was present during Mahabharata too. And God comes down on earth with a purpose. What might be His mission after exemplary Karma Samnyaasa in Ramayana? Your obedient servant, Soumyadip Mondal]
Swami replied:- To protect the devotees from difficulties in this world.
