In a very famous ashram in south India, I noticed that Shiva is worshipped mainly with dhyan and yog sadhana while the same of Devi Linga Bhairavi is performed with all rituals and different types of seva. Their explanation for this difference was not quite satisfactory. If you do not find this question silly, can you please explain what could be the necessity and science behind the ritualistic worship of Devi🧐?

Please explain Prakriti in simple words. Mainly the distinction of Lower & Higher Prakriti. I tried a few articles available in Auromaa.org on this subject but could not get a clear understanding.

People have a very limited idea of enjoyment and even more limited idea of spirituality. Personally I feel the joy of being alone, with oneself

Young people nowadays prefer casual relationships. Even serious relationships outside of marriage have the drawback that the partners are conditioned to be ready to withdraw any moment, undermining the basis of life-long relationships. I, as many people, don’t live in one place — I travel due to my work and studies. In such a context it is hard to be in a serious relationship that would lead to a marriage. The question is: how do people like myself who still have a desire to engage in romantic relationships find their way out of this dilemma😯?

I don’t think there can be a how to it. Love either happens or does not happen. As to the stability of a relationship, physical
