Question: In some places in South India there are people who claim to enter trance and communicate with God. In such states they do amazing things, like pierce their skin with many needles without bleeding, etc. They are also able to predict the future or tell you things that no one knows. Are these people actually communicating with God in this state?

Chanting Mantras Without a Guru
Question: I have been chanting this mantra: ‘Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare’ as taught by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Ji in his books. But time and time again I read (mostly on the internet) that one should not chant self-prescribed mantras, and that one should receive a mantra from a Guru. I won’t find a Guru unless I really sincerly want to find God and have purified myself. So until such a time that I meet my Guru, how do I carry on my Sadhana? Can I continue chanting the above mantra?
