So how to balance between spirituality and college life If I asked wrongly adiyenai shammikkavum. Emperumanar thiruvadigale Saranam. Uyye Ore Vazhi Udaiyavar thiruvadi.

Srimatae Ramanujaya Namaha,

Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruve Namaha,

Dear BhagavAta,

If  “in hostel if bhakthas speaks about god and bhakthi or doing any offerings to God in that hostel. His Friends may be misunderstandly not speak casually with him or not attached with him “his Friends may be misunderstandly not speak casually with him or not attached with him“,

Then That is a Good situation, Just Avoid them but at the same time Pray to BhagavAn SriKrishna’s Lotus Feet to bring Bhakthi inside them as well,  like how we are climbing the Bhakthi steps with Acharya Krupai.

From Swami’s Upanyasms, In General here is how a Bhaktha should try to live in which ever places we are, either in College or Hostel or within relatives or within family members.

Swami says we should try to follow below these three as much as possible, but if we are not able to follow in some circumstances, then Pray to BhagavAn to avoid such scenarios for future. BhagavAn will definitely help.

*****************************

1) Saha Bhojana Yogyar “சக போஜன யோக்யர் “(Ahara Niyanamanam)

Choose whom we should Sit and Eat with. A future Bhakta will eat any food for his satisfaction, but a Bhakta will eat BhagavAn’s Prasadham for BhagavAn’s satisfaction. Depending up on whom we sit and Eat, we get their Gunas as well. If they have Satvik guna, it is good for us, but other two Rajasik/Tamas is not good for us.

2) Saha Vaasana Yogar “சக வாஸன  யோக்யர் “

Choose whom we should Live with, and choose whom we should invite in our home and choose where we should stay if we go outside, and choose who should be our companion, friends etc..Depending up on whom we Live with, we get their Gunas as well. If they have Satvik guna, it is good for us, but other two Rajasik/Tamas is not good for us.

3) SammBHashana Yogar “சமம்பாஷணை யோக்யர் “

Choose whom we should Talk with and who we should avoid talking.

Same scenario applies. Acharyas says, those who talks about Just Lowkikam &/or Naasthikam and no BHagavAn and Moksham, then avoid them, since “AVANGALUDAYA GUNAMUM NAMAKKU OTTIKIDUM. SLOWLY OUR NISHTAI WILL REDUCE”, but Pray to Bhagavan to bring Bhakthi in them as well. Depending up on whom we Talk with, we get their Gunas as well. If they have Satvik guna, it is good for us, but other two Rajasik/Tamas is not good for us.

*****************************

So, we need to remember these and apply in any circumstances as much as possible with BHagavAn’s Grace and Acharya Ramanujar Krupai and be in Sathvika Satsangam, like SriVelukkudi Krishnan Swami’s Satsangam with youngsters as in Yuva Vikas.
