The one whomlooks inwards will always be happy. Pain and suffering is due to lack of merit in life. Giving charity is not punya. (merit) Even praying and meditating is not merit. It is the most selfish act. Merit cannot be earned when you are doing it for yourself. Merit can only be earned thru seva (service) to somebody else. There is no other way. Depression is nothing but toomuch time for yourself. Giving service will take someone out of depression. Also dharma vs punya. As humans we have certain obligations to this earth. Whatever you can do in your comfort zone is dharma. That which you do outside your comfort zone is seva/merit. What are you doing to beautify the lives of those around you. That is punya. Try this: be consciously aware and do 5 random acts of kindness. Uncomfortable to you but will being comfort to others. Its not just about the action, its the quality of the mind. Be leaders of bringing joy in society. What have you done to uplift of others.  Om namah shivaya 5 syllables. Nothing to do with shiv. The 5 elements Na means earth Ma is fire Shi is water listen to waves crashing. Sound of shi will also vibrate water. Wa is space Ya is air. Om means peace. So let there be peace n all the 5 elements, there is prosperity.  We should cnat in everyday 108 times. 12 zodiacs and 9 planets. Putting everything into peace. Snake in the neck signifies awareness. Ganga flowing means knowledge. To allow mankind to connect with the formless, forms were created. All forms across all religions were created to Help understand the formless. There is an om namay shivaya pranayam on guruji's voice. The palms have millions of pours. So we bless from the palms. It absorbs energy. Also after each pranayam we face our palms upwards to absorb the energy flowing. Humans have abundance of energy for themselves and to give others. Blessings work when you want nothing in return.

It is using what you know.  Water has the ability to cleanse the aura.
