Can the soul be developed into only one specific svarupa (for example, the cucumber seed can be grown only into a cucumber, not into a cabbage) and is it already predestinated for every soul? Can the soul choose which svarupa he wants to be grown into?Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465492103735380357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-89627925786533688162008-06-08T22:18:00.000+02:002008-06-08T22:18:00.000+02:00Dear Boris, the soul in the body has the potential...Dear Boris, the soul in the body has the potential for a spiritual body or svarupa. This needs to be activated though by the Guru donating the seed of devotion to that person (<I>guru krishna prasade pay bhakti lata beej</I>), for it to be developed in the fully blown manifest svarupa. In the conditioned state there is no significant ananda in the soul, and so it cannot be identified with the svarupa in the conditioned state.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-49718704467926993812008-06-08T22:13:00.000+02:002008-06-08T22:13:00.000+02:00Dear Advaita,I have a question about the very mean...Dear Advaita,<BR/>I have a question about the very meaning of svarupa. There is a soul inside a material body (somewhere in the heart area, I believe). Does "svarupa" mean the soul's form (which is definitely different from that of the body)? Also there are the spiritual bodies (of those devotees who have attained liberation) in Goloka and Vaikuntha. Is there a difference between the soul and the spiritual body in Goloka or Vaikuntha (like here, in material world)? Or do the "soul" and the "spiritual body" mean the same thing? In other words, is it true that "soul" = "spiritual body" = "svarupa"?Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465492103735380357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-2242178418234456492008-06-04T16:55:00.000+02:002008-06-04T16:55:00.000+02:00Bankey Bihari, welcome.Please study my blog of Jan...Bankey Bihari, welcome.<BR/>Please study my blog of January 31, 2007. Sanatan Gosvami is quoted there as saying one should not do japa while walking and talking. Mala can be carried on a journey but japa should be done sitting down at home, not while doing business or chitchatting with people on the street. It is disrespectful to Naam Prabhu.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-12772050633681699112008-06-04T16:47:00.000+02:002008-06-04T16:47:00.000+02:00sriradhay, praphu from few days i am read...sriradhay,<BR/> praphu from few days i am reading your, i find it very helping in solving adyatmik ques.<BR/>I have few I u can solve i will be very grateful.<BR/>I want to knnow can I carry japa mala in market , during travelling.bankeybiharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671924227367332254noreply@blogger.com
