Q&A with BrahmBodhi

It is not true that people who engage in immoral actions are necessarily happier. Upon closer observation, there is a vast difference between temporary success and genuine happiness — and the Gita points the way to lasting freedom from sorrow.

The Supreme Reality is originally formless, unmanifest, and beyond the three qualities of material nature. Yet when He creates the universe, He reveals Himself in a personal, manifest form — and at times even descends in human form to protect dharma. These are not two different Gods, but two aspects of the same Supreme Being.

Bringing all Indic faiths onto one platform is a noble idea, but a Uniform Ritual Code for all of them — including Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and the many streams of Sanatan Dharma — may not presently be practical. A more attainable beginning is to agree upon shared guiding scriptures, with the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedas as a natural civilizational centre of gravity.

In many Vaishnava traditions, the Shaligram is regarded as self-manifested (svayambhu) and eternally worshipful — so a formal prana-pratishtha is not considered essential. What matters most are devotion, purity, and regular worship. Here is a simple, sattvic method.

Earning is necessary for sustaining life, but donating a portion of that wealth is equally important. Charity is not only to help others — it purifies one's own mind and heart, and is essential for the inner purity the Gita describes. While Sanatan Dharma prescribes no fixed percentage, cultivating the habit of giving at least ten percent of one's income is highly desirable.

Do miracles really happen, or are they stories we choose to believe? In this video, BrahmBodhi shares a real-life experience where thoughts were known even before they were spoken — an event that logic struggles to explain.
