Brahma Dung Ananda

Oh Great Seer and bearer of the Eternal Flame. Holiest of Holies and Enlightened Avatar now residing in the third World Country of Texas.

Several of us have a series of questions for you. Please enlighten us Oh Grand Master.

Your servants at Ramalila.

Dear Servants of my Eternal Light,

My but its good to see that you are still seeking the Dharma after my departure from the Ivy covered walls of the Lila of Rama Ashram. I am of course only too happy to answer your remedial questions. My humility knows no bounds!

Brahma Dung Ananda Responds!

Question: How long do we go through the Bardo state and do we have awareness while at that state?
Answer: How long depends on the type of vehicle you are traveling in. It usually takes me at least a day in my Yugo.

Question: Why do ghosts and the likes come back to Earth if they are supposed to be in the Bardo state? Answer: I guess illegal aliens have always been a problem on this planet.

Question: Is it (the bardo state) the same kind of awareness we have now while we are alive?
Answer: It is if you live in Paterson, New Jersey

Question: What is the difference between being there (in a bardo state) and being on earth. It would seem to be better if we don't have to eat, sleep or go to work while in the Bardo state. Why do people want to reincarnate to Earth if we still have the same awareness while in the Bardo state?
Answer: Have you ever been to Paterson, New Jersey?

Question: Can't we get enlightenment in that state if all is Eternity?
Answer: Have you ever been to Paterson, New Jersey

And a bonus question: "What happens to an enlightened being (or powerful sorcerer) after he/she dies?""
Answer: It depends. In my case, I usually visit some old spirit guides.
