A cyberspace devotee, Geetha in Chennai, in the beautiful state of Tamil Nadu in South India, is reading 'Merging with Siva'. It is all about affirmations, positive affirmations that are said to strengthen the subconscious mind and improve our self-image. But, somebody told her ,"If you say a positive affirmation, you are reminding yourself of the negative." So, she wonders what to do.

Well Geetha, that is certainly a western psychological approach - if you say something positive, it reminds you of something negative. But, you are a Hindu girl. Listen to me. Do positive affirmations and you will be a very positive person.

Choose one person that you trust to listen to, and then follow the instructions in good faith. They will manifest a positive life for you, as they have manifested for thousands of people in the past.
