    Dear Mr. Fernandes,
    I am very much sorry to say that, I couldn't understand what to want to express yourself. Please be sensitive when you are responding to any religious matter. My personal view, the world what we see today was not made in 6 or 7 days but it was evoluted in lac's and lac's years. For me here is the heaven and hell, depends on how you pursue your life.

    Everyone wants to go to heaven, but, no one wants to die. Your conditions of taking to heaven may be acceptable, but, people have no faith in a mortal like you and me.
    What you promise is a wager and contract on wager is not enforceable. Hence, people may be waiting for the call from Yamaraj, which they will heed surely.

    congrats swamiji, please educate the uneducated people those who are using religion in politics just gain some votes and power. Please try to stop those who are unemployed people simply troubling others in the name of religion, tradition etc. etc. Use religion in religion only not in Politics.

    Congrats sir. We muslims welcome this swami with love and affections. Admar Mutt and its swamiji have never been controversial or political, instead without bias they have given education to many Christians and muslims in and around Udipi. My whole family studied from this educational institutions and we are grateful to this mutt and its swamiji. I wish the successor good health and great success and hope and wish he will carry on with the legacy of his predecessors and their institutions,

    with lots of love and respect...shah nawaz

    Wonderful. Spirituality and Technology. And one who knows the material technology has to surrender to Spirituality, there is just no other way at all. But As Krishna said, you just cant stop knowledge or a try to know it.And surrender to GOD, like SUDHAMA.

    God The Father on preconditions to go to heaven

    Message to Maureen

    January 22, 2020
    Public


    Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: " You (Maureen) ask Me if people can be saved if they have no faith. Holy Love is the ladder to salvation. Through Holy Love, the soul's faith is grounded and secured. Even souls who never heard of Me will be judged according to how they treat their neighbor."

    "I speak here* so that My children will recognize that I am a loving Father - not a stern, unforgiving judge. During this age of evil convolution of the Truth, My Mercy and My Love are very present to all mankind. My omnipresence will always show itself in the resolution of events and problems. Unjust attacks upon those who live in the Truth do not escape My Judgment. Those who attack the Truth very often have the tables turned on them and are discovered to be who they really are - instruments of evil. Even in the worst attacks, I am always there taking account of who supports the Truth and who lives in lies. My Love and My Mercy are always ready to welcome the repentant heart."

    "Unjust judgments upon another's character are still a sin no matter your position in the world. Do not let selfish ambition blind you. Live according to My Commandments** no matter your status in the world, for no one escapes My Gaze."

    Read James 2:8-10+
