Q17 was: \u201cHow do you usually deal with dangerous (or bothering) insects? Is it Ok to kill them?\u201d<\/strong>
\n28 responses were posted and here what they say:
\n– Basically the majority of responses reach a similar conclusion, as those that are against killing insects admit that sometimes we have to do it when insects pose a threat, and those that admit killing insects state that killing should be avoided if not necessary.
\n– Many feel guilty or bad when doing it, and appease their guilt by saying a prayer.
\n– 3 people mention incidents related to Amma: The first says that Amma once said that mice that are caught should not be killed, but rather released far away. The second that Amma said that pesticides that cause death of insects are used to protect the plants. The third says that he couldn\u2019t kill a bothering fly because he felt it was Amma’s presence\u2026
\n– 2 people mention Ramakrishna Pramahamsa showing that insects can be killed if they cause trouble.

Q18 was: \u201cWhat is your favorite Amma bhajan? Why?\u201d<\/strong>
\n32 responses were posted and here is briefly what they say:
\n– The majority first say that it is difficult to choose as every bhajan is special when sang by Amma.
\n– And, when picking the favorite, most go for Devi bhajans (Mata rani is mentioned 5 times, Jai jai Janani 4 times and Amma Amma Taye 3 times), but some prefer Krishna bhajans.
