The soul (correctly termed Atman in Hinduism) never lived inside a human body or the body of any other living being existing on mother Earth – be it an insect, plant or animal life.

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 a […]

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?

From the time I could distinguish spirituality from religion and dharma… I have personally clung to field of pure spirituality.

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.
