Depression में आ गया हूँ। मरने के डर को कैसे खत्म करूँ? Bhajan Marg

Summary

A man from Delhi describes experiencing depression, fear, and anxiety after two major surgeries. He asks how to pursue God despite his pain. Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj responds that spiritual practice, acceptance, and a steady daily routine can help a person face hardship. He encourages devotion while also advising the questioner to continue taking prescribed medication.

Key Strategies Discussed

• Use spiritual practice as support: Repeat “Radha,” remember God, attend satsang, and listen to spiritual teachers. The speaker presents these practices as ways to redirect attention from distress and find meaning.
• Loosen the grip of rumination: Accept that the past cannot be changed, focus on the present, and avoid repeatedly dwelling on fear, fate, or what may happen.
• Build a health-supporting routine: The talk recommends waking early, drinking water, bathing, walking or running, and doing brief exercises such as push-ups.
• Choose nourishing food: It advocates simple, home-cooked, or “sattvic” meals over frequent fast food and heavy reliance on restaurant food.
• Seek contentment and connection: The speaker emphasizes that wealth and possessions do not guarantee happiness, and links contentment and resilience with spiritual connection.
• Practice restraint and constructive habits: He recommends good conduct, controlling the senses, and avoiding media or activities he considers harmful.

Health note: The speaker advises continuing proper medication, but also makes claims about depression and sleeping pills that should not be treated as medical guidance. Discuss depression and medication concerns with a qualified health professional. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment without consulting them.
