Dada J P Vaswani
The spiritual head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission in Pune, Dada J P Vaswani was born on August 2, 1918, at Hyderabad-Sind. Being a brilliant student, he was given a number of double promotions and thus passed the the B.S. examination when just seventeen. A masters degree and fellowship at a leading college followed and Dada seemed poised at the threshold of a brilliant academic or civil services career. It was at this stage that he gave it all up and decided to follow his uncle and guru, Sadhu T.L. Vaswani, a mystic and philosopher on the spiritual path. Reaching out to people with a message of spirituality became his life mission. As editor of Excelsior magazine, he was initially met with opposition as not everyone related to the spiritual dimension. Still, he took it upon himself to write, proof read, print, get advertisements, package and post the magazine all by himself. The publications popularity grew to the extent that it surpassed the circulation of the leading daily newspaper, The Sind Observer. Ask Dada J P Vaswani |  |
Question 86. Namaste Dadaji,
1). How do I develop a habit of seeing GOD in every object?
2). We see so many weaknesses in human beings everyday, how do I develop a habit to ignore (negative things) and see only positive things in people?
Thanks in advance!
With Regards,

The first step is to consider the good qualities and virtues in everyone— and the bright side of everything, every situation-- we come across. We call this guna-drishti. This is opposed to dosh-drishti which is so common in many of us.
Question 87. Respected Dadaji,
I have a Guru but it feels like he doesn`t teach me anything. He says he likes to answer spiritual questions. But, whenever I ask him a question, his answers are very short and cryptic for ex: how do I control my mind? He said you just have to control yourself before talking anything out loud. Somehow, this kind of answers is not helping me at all. In my spiritual journey, I am getting several questions every day. He says you still have questions.
Since Feb., 2009, he has been just avoiding my phone calls altogether. What do I do, what should I understand from all this, please guide? - Ap On 2 October 2009
All answers are within you. Perhaps your Guru wishes you to practice silence and enter into the depths that are within you. There is one question to which if you can get an answer, you will not need to get any further answers. This question of questions is: “What am I?” The answer is within you.
Question 88. My kids have grown - ama 45 yr old woman who had many passions like painitng writing in life. Suddenly nothing seems interesting. I have developed detachment to my close loved ones as they have moved on in life. How do I find life worth it?
How do I not cry at he drop of a hat how do I be whole again. I have had a traumatic married life. Ususal family problems lack of self esteem and very sick children with life long dieases. Is that the cause ? How do I heal? - Pavan Kapoor On 5 October 2009
To go forward in life you need to forget yourself. And one way to do so is to go out and serve those that are in need and suffering such as handicapped children or orphans or the blind.
Question 89. sir,i am a brahmin boy,can i marry a thiya girl by changing her to my caste?its urgent..pls - Sa On 6 October 2009
I have no knowledge of different castes and have not so far heard anything about the Thiya caste. I am not against inter-caste marriages. But I would advice you not to do something which does not meet with the approval of your parents.
