We just could not say something that was ephemeral could gain immortality like human beings! Immortality has to exist from times immemorial; it could never be gained nor destroyed. Either we […]
When we say Mahavira, Gautama Buddha even Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed were enlightened, what we meant by that! On the same note even Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa (the revered spiritual master of Swami Vivekananda) and Maharishi Ramana were enlightened. Can any non-enlightened person world over comment on that? Is it possible for a student to assess the capability of […]

Everything written by Vijay Kumar relates to spirituality as defined in teachings of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita and also Upanishads (Indian treatises).

The quote “As you think so shall you be” forms essence of human life. It is thinking prowess that differentiates human beings from one another; animal kingdom and lower forms of life.

Would it ever be possible for human beings to see their soul? Can the fragrance of a flower ever know where it emanates from? Can the inherent butter in milk ever realize entity of milk? Was it possible for a robot to see its master? If not, then human beings also cannot see a soul. Our soul, the […]
Well past 70 years of age (nearing Vanprastha ashram), retired and looking after welfare of grandkids… I look forward to gaining Mukti (liberation from cycle of birth and death), reaching stage of moksha salvation. Even reaching heaven (swarga) would do. Until 60 years of age I was busy earning bread-and-butter for the family. Thereafter the welfare of grandkids came […]
Thinking prowess of human beings is the biggest asset of mankind, differentiating human beings from lower forms of life. We could easily distinguish one human being from other based on thinking prowess. Everything else remaining the same, it is only our mental prowess that differentiates one from other. The essence of life always laid in our thinking. Positive our […]
Youth in the prime of their life (age 15 to 25) can work wonders. Spiritual travel fructifies if we start our spiritual journey early in age.

All realized […]

The present manifestation is the last. Having become a pure soul he need not manifest a body again. The cycle of […]
Soul in a human being is the vital intangible life force that sustains even after death of human body. Spirituality as practiced in Hinduism confirms presence of soul in human body. Spiritual traditions of Hinduism further say, in absence of soul within, no human body could survive. This spark of divinity within we called soul was indestructible, could not be […]
When a mortal succumbs to death, the body dies but the immortal soul again manifests a new body based on residual balance of karma at the time of death. The new manifestation can be immediate or kept in abeyance until matching parents are found. For soul to manifest a new body, availability of matching parents on planet earth was an […]

Or one developed a desire to pursue path of spirituality after marriage. The one who had an inclination and pursued path of spirituality before marriage was on right path. […]
From the time I could distinguish spirituality from religion and dharma… I have personally clung to field of pure spirituality. Dharma was the core, the stem… the pedestal that supports both spirituality and religion. Initially advent Dharma followed by religion and then spirituality. When Dharma was in its fore, mankind was still not much aware about God. To appease […]
Before indulging in spirituality or thinking of taking spiritual journey within… our belief in self is an absolute must. We just could not lower self-esteem under any circumstances. The importance of self belief on path of pure spirituality could never be belied. It is power of self belief that human beings finally succeed in undertaking spiritual journey successfully. In […]
At every stage of life human beings all the time lived two lives… one by the Outer manifest physical self and other by our true inner self existing in our heart as soul atman.

Reason was apparent… as laid in Hinduism scriptures like Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises)… human beings have a maximum of 1.1 million manifestations in human form to reach stage of enlightenment… often termed […]
From the very inception of mankind… we were spiritual from inside. In the initial phases of life when life itself was in its infancy… mankind understood little about our spiritual side. Human beings feared the creator and created hordes of gods and goddesses to pray to. As evolved our intellect, mankind realized that we were primarily a spiritual being, […]
Spirituality as I understand it (a knower of Brahman, Tattva) is all about knowing our inner being… the absolute reality of life existing in us in our heart as soul atman. Bluntly stated, we were primarily a spiritual being… a cosmic traveler much beyond comprehension of mankind. We failed to understand our real entity as it keeps itself hidden from […]
