What does it mean when Swamiji blesses an object?

“The object in turn blesses you.  Astral bodies work in them.”

Could Swamiji explain the significance of installing a Shivalinga, such as the one he installed in Italy?

“What is the meaning behind your being born? What does that mean?”

“The installation of a linga is to bring Lord Shiva into a form so that people will come into the devotional line.  Their tension will be reduced.  People also will start doing tapas and other spiritual practices.  It is Swamiji’s duty to install lingas.  By installing a linga like the one in Italy, millions of people will become devotees.  Many people will do tapas and become yogis because of the installation of that one linga.  Shankara Bhagavan is in that symbol.  This is what happens from installing it.”

“If you stay in your house, what happens? You take care of your house.  You have many different spiritual things with you in your house.  You have beads, rudrakshas and different things like that.  Do you have any experiences with those? If you have spiritual things you will have a lot of peace of mind and peace in your house and peace in all of your duties every day.”

This and more can be read in the books on Shivabalayogi, including  Divine Play,  Swamiji's Treasure,  and Tapas Shakti.
