Why must that operation be painful? 37:23 Can a Guru who is Self-Realized take on a disciple's karma? 43:11 Babaji has mentioned He is the 'silent killer'; can Babaji explain this please? 44:49 Can the Guru enable the disciple to obtain mukti when they drop the body so they don't have to do tapas in this life? 47:48 What is the significance of celebrating the physical form of Swamiji when Babaji and Swamiji are one and the same, that all-pervading truth? 51:05 What are the different dimensions that the soul goes to? 52:47 Is the guru - disciple relationship carried on many lifetimes, and if so, if the Guru drops the body and there is no next incarnation, how does that carry on? 54:42 Are there any pitfalls in following a different Guru such as Babaji after my Guru has dropped the physical body? 58:58 Should I switch techniques to what Babaji recommends? 1:00:24 Would it be advisable in spite of my old age to come to the retreat in India with Babaji? 1:02:07 A person has advised that I get in touch with my feelings to unblock them, but can Babaji give advice on this? 1:05:25 Babaji, even though we have not met physically, can You still be my Guru? 1:06:31 Even if I have not served Babaji? 1:07:09 Is it the true feelings that one has that makes the guru - disciple relationship? ___ Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/ Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/
