Why should I repeat a Name of God that does not belong to my religion?

When I was first told that repeating Sri Gurudev datta would help both me and my ancestors (a concept which was quite alien to me), I wondered why I was being asked to repeat the Name of a God (deity) that didn’t belong to my religion.

The answer, I came to know, is quite simple. Everything that God has created has a function. Different deities are different aspects of God with different functions. All those functions emanate a different kind of vibration and due to God’s Grace we are able to imbibe those vibrations as per our needs.

Lord Datta is a deity, universal aspect of God.One of His functions in the Universe is alleviating trouble caused due to the subtle bodies of ancestors.By chanting Lord Datta’s Name(in the form of “Sree Gurudev Datta”) we are able to attract and imbibe divine energy and vibrations emanating from this God principle regardless of our religion, faith, nationality, or cultural background.

The following simple analogy can help us understand the universality of this aspect of God: Panadol (whose chemical formula is C8H9NO2) is an allopathic drug that is manufactured in Australia and other countries as well. It helps to provide relief from symptoms such as fever, headaches and other minor aches or pains. Irrespective of place of manufacture (in this case Australia), Panadol whose chemical formula is universal can be used to treat the symptoms of people not only in Australia but in the entire world.

So, also chanting Lord Datta’s Name can help all of us no matter where we are from.

Throughout my life I felt depressed many times with no particular reason, and there was no way to overcome this state. I sometimes could not concentrate on simple conversations, and would be completely lost. I was told that all this might be happening due to subtle bodies of departed ancestors and I was recommended to chant Lord Datta’s chant for 3 hours throughout the day.

As I was born a Christian I used to chant the Name of Jesus, but my distress caused by departed ancestors was not reducing. Only after I started to chant Lord Datta’s chant I could feel improvement in these aspects of life. I still continue to chant the Name of Lord Datta for 3 hours, and Lord Jesus’ Name for the rest of the time I have during the day. I can assure that this really works wonders and one should take the help of this for overcoming various problems in life.

Do Ancestors Hold Us Back?

How much do ancestors influence your life? Does their memory inspire or scare you? Do you have ancestral duties yourself? Are your antecedents holding you back? Or giving you spiritual guidance? - these were questions posed by BBC News to its public a couple of years ago.

Here are some of the comments they received:

Our ancestors can help us or hold us back, depending on whether they are good or bad ancestors. A good ancestor lived a good life while on earth. The good spirits of our good ancestors hang around to help us. Our role is to be prayerful for our bad ancestors, so that their bad spirits can be liberated.

What an absolutely ridiculous question. Ancestors are the progenitors who have brought us forward and as such they must be revered. This makes more logical sense than worshipping Jesus - a Nazarene who was nailed to a cross. I know my ancestors and I give thanks to them every day for my health, my intelligence and my compassion. Ancestor worship in Africa will never disappear.
George Dash, Canada

Ancestors influence our lives. The question is whether they influence our lives for good or for bad. I do not believe in worshipping our ancestors or seeking spiritual guidance from them, simply because I serve a living ‘God’ and not an ancestral non-living god. The choice is ours today.

Reincarnation

When a person dies the physical body is left behind on earth and the subtle body, i.e. the essence of the person, the consciousness, travels into the subtle world.

• Carnate means ‘of Flesh’.

• Reincarnate means to ‘re-enter the flesh’.

When a person dies the physical body is left behind on earth and the subtle body, i.e. the essence of the person, the consciousness, travels into the subtle world. Here the subtle body spends a certain time period depending upon the merits and the sins accrued by the person during his lifetime. After that time period, the subtle body is free to be reborn again. It takes birth in a family or environment most suitable to settle some of its karma. This is reincarnation. This happens again and again until such a time that the soul reaches full maturity. After that there is no need for the soul to be born again. This is the natural way in which a soul is meant to progress.

When people have strong attachments towards earthly pleasures, such as fame, money, sex; strong addictions, the subtle body becomes heavy. After death, it becomes very difficult for such subtle bodies to leave earth and go into the subtle world. Hence they remain attached to the earth plane. The natural progression of the soul is delayed until we learn to lose these attachments.

The cycle of reincarnation ends after the soul reaches full maturity and completes all its give and take accounts. This means the soul will still exist but no longer be pulled back to incarnate into a physical body. For example; after we graduate from college we do not have to nor do we wish to re-enroll into primary school. We are well past that point in our soul-life. We can come back only if we wish to teach others.

For the soul who wishes to ascend to the highest spiritual states, reincarnation is to be avoided.

People who have accrued a lot of negative karma go into the hell region of the subtle world for a certain period of time after which they may reincarnate on earth.

We have undergone this cycle of birth and death innumerable number of times. The reason we do not remember it is that these vast memories remain hidden in our subconscious mind.

One may need thousands of births to reach the supreme state of spiritual maturity. We must perform spiritual practice, live righteously and have an abundance of good deeds and the grace of a Spiritual master to attain it.

What can I do to protect myself against ancestral problems?

When we repeat the protective chant of Sree Gurudev Datta, a subtle sheath envelops us, protecting us from obstacles caused by our ancestors.

Problems caused due to departed ancestors are a specific type of spiritual difficulty. Therefore we can successfully overcome them only by applying a specific spiritual remedy. Psychological and physical remedies simply cannot overcome the root cause of the problem and can only at best provide some symptomatic relief. For example, if a person is suffering from skin rash caused by ancestors, relevant medical treatment can at best provide relief but not cure the rash completely or prevent it from occurring again.

Spiritual research recommends that in order to gain insulation from problems caused due to departed ancestors, it is recommend to chant daily the protective chant of ‘“Sri Gurudev Datta” which is a kind of prescription chant to overcome a specific spiritual problem i.e. problems caused due to departed ancestors.

When we repeat the protective chant of “Sri Gurudev Datta”, we attract the divine energy associated with Lord Datta’s Name and as a result we benefit in the following way:

• A subtle protective sheath envelops us, protecting us from obstacles caused by our ancestors.
• It helps to nullify the give-and-take account that we have with our ancestors thus reducing their influence on us.
• It gives our ancestors the assistance they require to make their onward journey in the subtle world.

The recommend quantity of chanting “Sri Gurudev Datta” Name is commensurate with severity of the distress experienced due to ancestral problems based on spiritual research and knowledge gained through the medium of a highly advanced sixth sense (ESP).

• In case where no distress to mild distress is experienced, one can chant for 1 to 2 hours every day in order to avoid such trouble in future.
• In case where the distress is medium, chant for 2 to 4 hours every day.
• If the distress is severe one must chant “Sri Gurudev Datta” for 4 to 6 hours per day.

The following are some indicators of the severity of distress

Type	Example
Mild	Skin problems, marital conflicts
Moderate	Divorce, mentally challenged child
Severe	Miscarriage, death in childhood

How to identify if one is affected by spiritual / ancestral problems

As we have mentioned, while some types of problems in life such as addictions or marital disharmony may be a strong indication of ancestral problems, only a Saint or a Guru (a spiritually evolved guide) can tell with certainty the root cause of a problem.

At an intellectual level, we could use two rules of thumb to decide if the cause of the suffering is spiritual in nature:

• All remedies to solve the problem have failed. This is especially so when the problem should be easily treatable by modern sciences such as a skin rash, chest pain, etc.

• A number of family members (e.g. 4 out of 5) are suffering with any of the above mentioned issues simultaneously. (The reason that all the family members get affected is that they all have the same ancestors.)
  

Research findings also suggest that almost 8 problems of 10 in our life have their root cause in the spiritual realm. Spiritual healing remedies and especially healing chant of ‘Lord Datta’ has been very effective in all these cases suffering from ancestral problems.

In the next post we will have an update of some experiences related to ancestral problems and also

Basics of ancestral problems and their mode of manifestation

Ancestral Problems - A major constituent of all the problems in our life

Almost all of us are affected by problems in our life where the root cause is due to departed ancestors’ subtle bodies. This type of spiritual problem affects us regardless of race, cultural background or social status. While this is a spiritual problem, it can manifest in many different ways in our day-to-day lives. In some cases, people have gone through years of suffering only to find out that it could have been alleviated in a few days. The alleviation would only have come about if they knew the root cause, the remedy and if they had the required know-how to put it into practice.

Modes of manifestation of ancestral problems in our day to day life :

The distress caused to us descendants by the subtle bodies of our ancestors manifests in many ways in our day-to-day lives. It creates obstacles in both, our worldly lives as well as spiritual practice. In some cases, it may seem that the entire family has a dark cloud over it and various family members are undergoing various problems despite all efforts to overcome them.

The difficulties that are created due to departed ancestors come in various forms as listed below:

• Inability to get married
• Marital disharmony
• Addictions (approximately 70% of addictions are due to ancestors who have passed away)
• Going blank in examinations despite being well prepared for it
• Loss of job
• Difficulty in conceiving a child
• Miscarriages
• Bearing mentally challenged children or children with special needs
• Death during childhood

Miscarriage, death in childhood, etc. happen when the distress by ancestors is coupled with other major spiritual causes such as destined possible death. It cannot happen solely on account of distress of ancestors. While the above types of problems may be a strong indication of ancestral problems, only a Saint/Guru (a spiritually evolved guide) or a can tell with certainty the root cause of a problem and that is the reason why many of us are unaware of the cause of our problems.

This is just a glimpse of the large iceberg of ancestral problems. All of us in one or the other way come in one of these categories of ancestral problems. Modern science fails to find solutions to this, but many of those like me are being benefited by the spiritual healing remedies to overcome many of these ancestral problems.
