Preface

Our revered Guruji, Sri La Sri Kamakshi Swamigal has been answering Questions related to Spirituality and Religion in the forum of Yahoo Groups for many years now. Many people have several questions regarding the ways of worshipping God, self-realization, chanting mantras, conducting poojas, performing rituals, etc. They seek specific answers to their questions and it is important that such questions are answered and that they are guided in the right path. The Questions & Answers (‘Q&A’) which is published on a monthly basis in the Yahoo Groups serves as a “Sandeha Nivarini” (or Clearance of Spiritual Doubts) for all spiritual aspirants.

This book on ‘Questions & Answers’ is compiled and printed with utmost reverence to Sri La Sri Kamakshi Swamiji, the holy pontiff of Sri Kamakshi Peetam in both Tamil and English. This book contains the answers provided by Shri Guruji in its original Tamil version for the innumerable questions asked by several devotees and the translation in English.

We pray to the Goddess Kamakshi, Maha Periyava, and Sri La Sri Kamakshi Swamiji’s, that our readers benefit from these efforts and gain useful and authentic knowledge, and are guided in their spiritual and religious path of life.
