Questions and Comments, 1970s and 1980s

• Sri Chinmoy’s Second Visit to Sacred Rock, 1996

• Question: We always feel we are the doers. How can we be more aware of God’s Will for us, and how can we be better instruments?
• Question: Welcome, Sri Chinmoy. It is so wonderful to see you again. I feel blessed. I think we all feel blessed. I would ask that you help me and my brothers and sisters here and guide us by telling us what discipline or practice we may undertake to bring ourselves closer to God, closer to the Light.
• Question: Good afternoon, Guru. Earlier Narada shared with us a poem of peace that you had written. Following that, there was music that we heard and phrases that we repeated. Everything seemed to imply a level of positivity, oneness and reaching fulfilment with God, oneness with God. How does one try to reach that level of oneness from day to day when there is turbulence and volatility within? How does one transform the level of turbulence and volatility within into this level of fulfilment and oneness?
• Question: Venerable Sir, can you tell us more about your work for peace in the world? Do you recommend that people be involved politically?
• Question: Do you believe that the year 2000 and this time that we are alive is very special?
• Question: Thank you for being here today. I appreciate the invitation to be part of this. I have deep concerns about my personal life. It seems as if it has been a real roller coaster. It has been very difficult to get balance in my life. I am just wondering if by my presence here with you today, you might be able to give me some guidance in that regard.
• I do not have to go to Heaven

Mahabharata Movie Versions

• Question: The Mahabharata series that we are watching in the evening is a different version from the one we have seen before. Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel that these actresses and actors do not carry the consciousness as well as the ones that we watched a couple of years ago.
