Dear Swamiji, you have such a wonderful way of telling these stories. I am mesmerized by your Shankaracharya stories. Please could you take some more sessions and sing some of his hymns and explain their meaning. It would be really awesome. :) I am so grateful to you. Eagerly waiting for many more stories from you. Jaigurudev!!

Hi dear Swamiji, thank you for these stories, it kindles the feeling that we are part of something bigger. It feels like something bigger and deeper than words can t explain. As if you were telling me about my ancestors :) It gives us such depth to our daily lives to remember our lineage. Thanks again and please don t stop sharing these stories of love and devotion. Big hug from Spain :)

Dear Swamiji, your story times have been so deep, interesting and inspiring! This one in particular just relived me from a deep pain that was haunting me for a loong time... Tears bursted from my face... Don't know how to express my gratitute... JGD!

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

Swamiji I love hearing your stories. I was wondering if you could make animations or doodly to explain.

[@santoshsapkal5816]

🙏👏🌸

[@shardasonwane4562]

Dear swami ji we will love to hear story of bhakt prahlada :)

[@valliammaivenkatachalam5418]

Swamiji the way you narrate the stories is awesome, from this story I got answers to many of my questions, thanks for such wonderful stories. I'm doing agnihotra & I've doubt in it, I don't know whom to ask & felt you are the right person, can we use dried coconut shells in the place of dried cowdung? , because in some places cowdung is not available & I happened to leave the practice, as the coconut shells are easily available everywhere in India, it is easy to keep the practice going, kindly answer

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

For Agnihotra, Indian (desi) cow dung and ghee is essential. Cannot use wood or coconut shells etc. :-)

[@valliammaivenkatachalam5418]

Thanks for your reply Swami ji, it is helpful

[@deveshmandrah5537]

Please share stories of saptarshi also sometime

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

I will :-)

[@gautampatel4298]

Jay Gurudev 🙏 Very nice work you ar doing, My question is How will we librate in this Kalyuga? Only Narayan ? Only Ganesh? Only mahadeva? Or only Guru ? Whom to pray when I have respect same all of them?

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

In the end there is no difference - different paths to the same goal. One-pointed devotion is most effective ;-).

[@beaychua]

Jai gurudev swamiji. Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories. I feel the divinity watching your videos. I have a question, i feel that gurudev sri sri ravi shankar could be an incarnation of narada, what do you think? :) Also could you speak a little bit more about what guruji means when he says that in samadhi “time stops, death stops, and infinity begins.” Is there more to it than just a feeling? I feel there is more but probably difficult to understand

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

I am not qualified to comment on the first question. :-) As for the second question, this has to be experienced - there is not much use in discussing it theoretically :-).

[@beaychua]

Wow, thank you so much for replying swamiji

[@vikram513]

Any possible way to contact swamiji?

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

You can write me a personal message on any of my social media :-).

[@yogeshpatil9158]

From where do I get Shrimad Bhagavatam?

[@colourfulmomentswithchaitra]

Tell me the story of subramanya the son of lord shiva

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

Will keep it in mind for future sessions :-)
