Suffering in life permanently ends only when we reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana), never before. Why? The moment a soul atman reaches stage of absolute purity, it need not manifest a body again to work out its karma. In absence of dross impurities within the need for a soul atman to manifest a new body now ceased to exist. […]
Right from six years of age not a single prayer of mine went unanswered. From the very beginning I had 100% faith in God. Furthermore, I travelled path of absolute truthfulness always and ever never crumbling under trivial pressures of life. I do not remember asking god anything for personal self. Serving mankind was my motto from the beginning of […]
Coming of an avatar, God manifest in human form precedes certain conditions that need fulfillment before Kalki surfaces. Presently we are passing through Kali Yuga and ghor Kali Yuga phase, when clock strikes 5 AM in the morning is yet to arrive. It was only then mankind witnesses’ advent of Kalki avatar… a saviour, messiah of present era. Kalki avatar, […]
Both Mahavira and Gautama Buddha are considered contemporaries separated from each other by gap of about 77 years. Initially advent Mahavira above 2600 years before now! Mahavira is 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, preceptor. The Jainism religion also called a way of life has a chain of enlightened ones termed Tirthankaras. Mahavira was the last and the most recognized in the […]
To improve concentration one must go to the nearest bookstore and get a copy of Jonathan Livingston Seagull a story by Richard Bach. We would never regret the purchase. Go through this book not once but many times. We would get the answer to the problem… How to increase concentration! The above book Jonathan Livingston Seagull a story by Richard […]
In times of extreme strife, tribulation coming of an avatar was explicitly detailed in many scriptures of Hinduism including Bhagavad Gita. When society reaches its lowest ebb, a point of no return… coming of an avatar… saviour, messiah was necessitated to re-establish dharma (righteousness) against evil forces of adharma (lawlessness). References to Kalki Avatar can be found in Kalki Purana, […]
Born an ordinary mortal, Rama knew from the beginning that he would become a man god, one who gained enlightenment in his lifetime. The 12 years of Vanvas (forests exile) Rama was forced to undergo is only symbolic, for 12 years practice of absolute celibacy was necessitated for full awakening of kundalini shakti, the coiled Serpentine energy lying dormant in […]
Such an eventuality can be anticipated many billion years ahead. The concept of reincarnation, rebirth is a totally misunderstood concept world over. Nothing like rebirth exists in cosmic system. As souls atmans were indestructible (could either be created or destroyed), how could they rebirth? Reincarnation simply means after death of mortal frame, our soul atman manifesting a new body to […]
Few years earlier when I observed more and more nuclear families evolving, I inherently felt extremely disturbed. All big business houses in India have finally broken into nuclear families. It was a wrong signal sent to the society. Common people lamented, if Birlas and Ambanis could not make it, why should we remain bonded? Perhaps we are living in Kali […]
Calling God Almighty omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent does not mean anything. The whole cosmos was created by God; mankind truly had no role in creation of cosmos. Still, human form by travelling path of spirituality can gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). The domain of god was beyond any earthly decorations. What value giving a noble prize to Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ […]
How did mankind particularly people in India (erstwhile Bharatvarsha) came to know who was God (Brahman in Hinduism)? When some sages and saints in yester era reached epitome of human evolution they invoked words of God in form of Vedas (Hinduism revelations). But these massive and voluminous sacred texts were beyond reach of commoners, masses. It was beyond capability of […]
Spirituality is a precept, mind power a faculty of cosmic system. To reach God in present life our undertaking spiritual journey was mandated by God. Spiritual path can be travelled successfully when we established absolute control over five senses and mind. The mental faculty relates to mind power which is one for entire cosmos. As normally believed no individual human […]
Let me be very frank and clear. I never went after self realization or god realization for I did not understand such terminology at six years or 13 years of age. I just wanted to reach god. And my principle of life was, if I had to do something for mankind then I should follow what Mahavira 24th Tirthankara of […]
Broken down to basic building block of cosmos we were nothing more than clusters of atoms and molecules. Only when viewed from senses point of view we appeared solid, in reality we were gaseous formation. Similarly God Almighty, Brahman was a small ball of pure primordial cosmic energy, sum total of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure form. […]
When young six years of age I used to accompany my mother on foot to Jain temples. There I used to find lot of women, but few men indulging in japa mala chanting something from their mouth. When I asked elders in the family what it was all about, I was advised to take one myself from the closet and […]
Those with a materialistic bent would use their tangible powers less frequently than present. What of those not addicted or mesmerized by technological advancements or glare of material riches? Such people were not less in number. If the world exists, it is only because of ethical and moral standards maintained by these people. Such human beings par excellence even compensated […]
We know the collective size of all pure souls’ atmans in cosmos. But to know the individual size of a soul atman, we need knowing the total number of souls’ atmans that existed in entire cosmos. Quantifying all souls’ atmans in cosmos was beyond reach of human capability, the power of five senses and mind. As detailed in Bhagavad […]
Directly or indirectly almost all scriptures of Hinduism relate to monotheism, existence of one God (Brahman in Hinduism). Even Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, part of Hindu Trinity are simply attributes of God Almighty. Bhagavad Gita, the sermon given to mankind by Lord Krishna and Upanishads (independent treatises) dealt exhaustively with the concept of Brahman, the one […]
It is only by hit and trial we learnt to distinguish good karma from bad. For some the same act maybe bad but for another a meaning to exist. I have personally seen beggars scanning trash cans and eating whatever food they think good for eating. Even for a commoner, such an act was disgraceful but for the hungry bagger […]
All my life there was never a single time God did not help me. Even while schooling, playing, morning jogging… even doing engineering I was all the time engrossed in search of God. So much so that I practically did not have time for anything except searching for God! In second semester of first year of engineering in […]
Towards an end or Satyuga, a new phase… total renaissance? India (erstwhile Bharatvarsha) in a short while from now would regain its lost cosmic glory, become superpower number one. In times of utter strife, tribulation, the stage of present Kali Yuga… everything seems lost but in reality the whole system is passing through layers of renaissance that would eventually erupt […]
Quick is a word that does not exist in the dictionary of spirituality. All types of yoga meditation had only one purpose… reaching God in present life. If someone indulges in yoga meditation for some other purpose or belief, one is utterly mistaken. Spirituality is the path that directly leads to God Almighty. Yoga is derived from the root word […]
No matter how best we tried to dwell in matters physical, Bhagavad Gita always tries to sway one from path ephemeral to spiritual. Why this happens? Why could we not live physical manifest life in a meaningful way? Why the promptings from within? What exists within that tells us all the time that physical part of life was ephemeral, short […]
From spirituality point of view the essence of God and Soul always was the same. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita, foremost of all sacred scriptures existing on mother earth if an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman, the whole mound God Almighty. If an individual piece of puzzle is an independent soul atman, the completed puzzle God […]
We are probably misinterpreting the writings. Both the words Sanatana and Dharma are used in scriptures of Hinduism but not as a phrase. In Hinduism scriptures we would never find reference to a word like Sanatana Dharma. As stated in sacred texts of Hinduism dharma was eternal, existing from times immemorial. The word eternal in Hindi meant Sanatana. People started […]
Avatar in Hinduism stood for saviour, messiah… God manifest in human form. When society reaches its lowest ebb, a point of no return then even man gods like Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism, preceptor), Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed failed to re-establish dharma (righteousness) against evil forces of adharma (lawlessness). Enlightened ones who are primarily spiritual people having […]
100% activation of our brain simply means reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana), becoming an enlightened one like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. Normal human beings used their brain 1-2%; the famous physicist Albert Einstein used his brain 4%, the balance always lying dormant. Full activation of brain can only occur when our kundalini awakened fully. […]
Happiness, bliss was something that could never be purchased with money. Ask any monk, sage about the value of money and you would finally realize that everything mortal was ephemeral in nature. The moment death took over; all our material gains are left behind. Prime reason why seekers of different era travelled path of spirituality to reach stage of […]
The best way to boost intelligence is indulgence in path of contemplation, path of self enquiry, path of logical reasoning to gain answers to our queries. Normal human beings used their brain 1- 2%, the remaining portion always lying dormant. When we indulge in contemplation, path of self enquiry, logical reasoning… the dormant lying portion of brain slowly activated. […]
As per scriptures of Hinduism both heaven and hell (swarga and naraka) are located in sun, heaven in the periphery of sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade. It was in such high temperatures our soul atman felt comfortable. Hell exists in periphery of sun where temperatures were considerably less; it was in such low temperatures our soul atman […]
