04:56 - Ritwik Mukherjeee in Conversation with Sri M
07:22 - Q1 - Why did you choose the name of the book as Jewel in the Lotus which is from Buddhism for a subject like ‘Deeper aspects of Hinduism’?
15:44 - Q2 - Is Hinduism a way of life or is it ‘so-called’ religion neutral?
21:54 - Q3 - Is this similar to what Thakur used to say- Joto mot toto poth meaning “As many ways as possible’
23:09 - Q4 - Do you mean to say that in today’s world, we have a problem of having everything in plenty - so many priests, so many preachers, so many scriptures etc…?
26:26 - Q5 - Whatever you say, does it mean that if we have to go into the deeper aspects of Hinduism, do we have to go into the deeper aspects of politics as well? (Many of the problems today are weaved around the political system which tries to one way or the other impose certain things… So where does the solution lie for this?
29:57 - Q6 - Is Santana dharma different from Hinduism that we usually refer to?
31:25 - Q7 - Vegetarianism vs Non-vegetarianism sparks off debates often. Could you comment on that please?
37:12 - When in intense sadhana good to be vegetarian
39:26 - Q8 - You keep repeating about moderation in everything……
41:03 - Q9 - When you spoke of Swamiji there are people who used to cite his example and say, “Swamiji used to smoke, so it’s okay if we do”….
43:34 - Q10 - In your book, (Jewel in the Lotus) another important aspect is the conversation between you and your Guru(Maheshwarnath Babaji). At times people tend to imitate their guru instead of following the teachings. What is the difference between following the guru and imitating the guru?
46:15 - Q11 - Does knowledge also lead to ego?
53:39 - Q12 - When we start on the spiritual path with the attitude of, “I don’t know anything, does it not deflate one’s morale or confidence?
01:04:09 - Q13 - Towards the end of your book you have spoken about ‘Death and related some incidents. What is the role of death and the what are the learnings that one can glean from it?
01:10:55 - Q14 - Is deep sleep also a form of death?
01:11:52 - Q15 - You have said, In the spiritual journey one needs to start with the belief that we are incomplete and that leads to humility which helps in the spiritual path. But you often recite and explain the shloka - Poornamada poornamidam which talks about completeness. Is there a conflict between the two?
01:14:37 - Sri M concludes with some advice on how one can move forward in the path.

[@utubetruthteller]

the interviewer asked very lame questions, an opportunity is lost to ask him more deeper questions

[@anoopmondal8327]

Don't judge ... For many this was uplifting

[@shreeveda]

You have certain questions in mind which he didn't ask. Don't close your mind. With Sri M here, only relevant points are made. Grasp them. Focus on that.
