Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The question was posed on 5th March 2003 and the answer has come on its own on 
6th march 2003 in Shri SadagopanIyengar swami's article " Lord Remembers" . 
Even before you ask HE GIVES. 

LORD IS OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT AND OMNIPRESENT. WE HAVE TO BE PATIENT. THERE IS 
ALWAYS LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL. 

My pranams to all Bhagavathas

Dear Bhagavatha, 

Shubhamastu. 

Your doubt reflects the state of mind of crores of people who are suffering 
from something or the other and try to pray EMBERUMAAN, expecting something to 
happen or something to received from HIM. Unless our expectation is granted , 
we automatically doubt whether Our Lord Emberumaan is listening to our prayers 
or not. 

Such an act is pure business and not the Devotion with which one should pray. 

You are aware or should become well become aware, any prayer made to The Lord 
with epectation or any reward is no prayer at all. 

When you are facing any adverse situation, you shd treat it as what you are to 
experience due to the past KARMAS. Our ELDERS have instructed us to Cling to 
The Lotus Feet of The Lord and treat everything as God given gift, whether we 
like them or not. We shd boldly and with full faith in Him, leave everything to 
Him. We shd not ask anything in return to our prayers. If we start 
disassociating OUR SELVES from all that is happening as His LEELA, then no 
doubt ever will enter our minds. 

There is no need for any mystery to Happen separately, as everything that 
happened, happening and going to happen are all according HIS CHITTAM and 
already studded with mysteries whichwe can not understand. If we pray 
anticipating something to happen mysteriously, our prayer becomes an 
expectation in return. 

This attitude is very easy to say but in practice it is a very tough task. We 
can make a beginning and allow this process to go on. Slowly, but surely our 
minds will settle down in the very thoughts of The Lord and Bestow Peace on us 
and we will start taking things as they happen and we will not feel frustrated 
and the doubts that have been raised about God's listening to our Prayers will 
slowly fade away and immense faith will set in our minds 

Once we sincerely leave everything to HIM and surrender to HIM unconditionally 
and willingnly, as advised by our Acharyas, Azhwars and Great Bhagavaths our 
minds will tend to be tamed and we will relish our prayers to HIM and start 
experiencing the BLISS (SHAANTHI) .

Hello Everybody,

Greetings. I am Sangeetha, Vadagalai Iyengar. I have a very basic doubt on 
whether god is really listening to our prayers and whether he is with us. I am 
not able to find an answer to this. I will be greatful if any one of you could 
share your mystic experiences.

With Warm Regards
Sangeetha
