1. Can You kindly clarify if it is justified to have a same-sex marriage and adopt children?
[Shri Hrushikesh asked: Some Gay and Lesbian couples are adopting orphans as their children. Can You kindly clarify if it is justified to have a same sex marriage and adopt children? If it is not correct, why is it wrong?]
Swami replied:- Please don’t mention about marriage between same sex because such idea brings a lot of vomiting in My case. It is just the nature of animals, which do not have intelligence. The purpose of marriage is to extend humanity on this earth, which is the service to God.
2. Why is Masturbation wrong?
[Why is Masturbation wrong? Is it true that it leads to weakness? Why is sexual intercourse considered better than masturbation? Can You kindly clarify?]
Swami replied:- This is also another aspect that brings a lot of vomiting in My case. When the intelligence is destroyed, such investigations and discoveries result. Certainly, loss of precious sperm brings weakness not only to the body but also to the intelligence.
3. My friend is confused about whether to continue as a vegetarian or start eating meat to overcome his nervous problem. Kindly advise
[One of my friends who was a non-vegetarian turned into a Vegetarian, after listening to a speech from a spiritual preacher that it is Adharma to eat meat. However, after turning into a vegetarian he started to feel weak and developed a nervous problem. So, doctors advised him to eat meat as he developed Vitamin B12 deficiency. He started to eat the meat again and started advising my friend also to not quit eating meat. My friend is now confused whether to continue as a vegetarian or should start eating meat. Kindly advise and also throw some light on this topic?]
Swami replied:- Vitamin B12 exists in several vegetables. The meat acquired all constituents directly or indirectly from the vegetable kingdom only. This is only a psychological exploitation. I think, the doctor consulted must have been a psychologist!
4. What are the factors one should consider before choosing a life partner?
[One of my friends is looking for alliances on matrimony sites. He is confused whether to love a girl and marry or to continue to look for alliances on matrimony sites? As in an arranged marriage there is a limited time one spends to know about the partner. How can one decide on a life partner in 15 minutes of conversation? What is Your advice to a person following a spiritual path in choosing a prospective wife or husband? What are the factors one should consider before choosing a partner?]
Swami replied:- Even in 15 minutes, you can know whether the girl is theist or an atheist. If she is theist, that is sufficient because details of spiritual knowledge are not needed to know whether the girl is spiritually interested or not. A theist can be easily convinced about spiritual corrections, if any. It is sufficient if the boy knows the girl whether she is a theist or atheist. I think that this information can be known within 15 seconds.
5. What is a Runa bandam?
[What is a Runa bandam? If a person "A" is being offered some food or gift from a friend or relative "B" will this transaction make person "A" indebted to person "B". Kindly clarify? Is it not advisable to have a debt relationship? At Your Feet, Hrushikesh]
Swami replied:- The concept of debt involves considerable huge amounts of wealth or food etc. For every iota, calculations need not be considered.
