When young six years of age I used to accompany my mother to Jain temples for religious gatherings. Born in a Jain family I started following Jain religion (Jainism). But at this young age I had many queries within relating to god. I just wanted to satisfy myself by seeing God once. How to do it was the problem! […]
Though I understand nothing of chakras but their opening was absolutely real. I can vouch for opening of chakras with 100% authority. In my search for God six years of age I did not understand ABCD of religion or God. At that young age I did not know, there exists a word like spirituality in scriptures. Even after repeatedly […]
Yes, gaining enlightenment means reaching stage of immortality forever. What do we mean when we talked of immortality? It was for certain that immortality could never be gained physically in human form. That was not the intention of god. Immortality, the stage of absolute purity is always gained by our soul atman, the consciousness within when our karma negates […]
Hinduism religion termed a way of life primarily has two distinct paths to follow, one path of religion (rituals) that most people in India presently followed and other path of spirituality that directly helped human beings in realizing their true inner potential, realizing self, reaching god. Spiritualism is different from spirituality. Spiritualism is a belief developed in Western world […]
As detailed in scriptures of different religions of world the most a human being could become in present life was man god like Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism, preceptor), Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. Becoming a man god, gaining enlightenment and finally moksha salvation meant a soul atman gaining absolute purity forever. A purified soul atman need not […]
As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism God Almighty (Brahman) was not the form of human beings. It always acts as a Dhrishta (onlooker) never interfering with creation of his. The whole cosmic system was governed by inscrutable laws of karma and evolution. As our indulgence accordingly manifests our destiny! How could we blame God Almighty for our sufferings or woes? […]
Every second thousands of thoughts flowed to our brain incessantly. To stop the flow of these thoughts in totality our indulgence in nishkama karma yoga was necessitated. Working with an unattached attitude is what nishkama karma all about. We had to live like a trustee… a custodian, caretaker taking care of things that already belonged to God Almighty. Furthermore […]
Almost all school going Hindu children believed in Allah. In junior classes we were always taught that God was one but had different names. It may be called as Sanatana Purusha, Parmatman, Bhagwan, Ishwar and khuda, Allah, Hari and Karta etc. As we grew in age, our religious beliefs narrowed. Being a Hindu we limited our belief to calling […]
If I get to become Prime Minister of India even for 24 hours, I would dismantle the present political system by imposing emergency and converting the whole system into presidential system as in USA. Then I would pass a decree that the tenure of executive president would be five years. Having become executive president, I would implement the following […]
In yesteryears when people… commoners, masses were not able to conceptualize Nirakaar form of God (having no form) various sages and saints wrote many parables, religious stories to convey the hidden inner meaning. Everything in Hindu mythology relates to a moral in the story. Everything was symbolic. But with passage of time people identified the story as a true narrative. […]
In all 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita wherever God has been referenced, it points to the ultimate reality… Brahman in Hinduism, the one and only creator of entire cosmos! As per Lord Krishna nothing other than Brahman existed in cosmos. Lord Krishna also emphasizes not to worship various forms of gods and goddesses which were only attributes of God […]
Must we run after fruits of karma… performed by us? The path of nishkama karma yoga of Bhagavad Gita clearly says indulge in karma but never attach self to fruits of karma performed. Working for results and working with unattached attitude are two different aspects of life. King Janaka and JRD Tata, the two Karma yogis par excellence all […]
Can we ever have faith in present times in a so-called religious preacher, master or guru, one who had yet to reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)? Mahavira 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, preceptor rightly said, “Do not preach unless you become an enlightened one… a bodhi, a Jina… a Mahavira”. In the last about 150 years amongst 7000 million […]
Before India gained independence in 1947 it was a conglomerate of above 600 princely states spread all over India. Different cultures, different upbringing, different beliefs all combined under one umbrella termed Hinduism religion. Primarily Hinduism religion must be called Sanatana Dharma something that exists from times immemorial. Sanatana in Hindi stands for eternal. In present times Hinduism religion is […]
We were primarily a soul atman, never the manifest physical human form. The moment we reached 8.4 millionth manifestation, last in cosmic life cycle… stage of (Nirvikalpa Samadhi), that stage is termed realizing self, realizing god, gaining enlightenment. The moment our kundalini awakened fully Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petalled Lotus) existing in our brain opens fully. Our brain becomes 100% […]
In my childhood I read a story in a newspaper or magazine about brain being different from mind. At that young age I did not realize the underlying meaning of that article. But as I contemplated on same I realized everything stated in that article was absolute truth. Human beings truly had no independent mind. We all had a […]
As a physical manifest human being, you are justified in your concern. What if you were not a physical manifest human form but a soul atman, the consciousness within on its cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations that entailed an earthly journey of 96.4 million years? As per scriptures of Hinduism we were primarily a spiritual being that manifested […]
Born in a Jain family, even after an earthly journey of 59 years I have not been able to separate Jainism from Hinduism. From six years of age I was after absolute truth. Realizing that Lord Krishna came above thousand years earlier to Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism, preceptor) I somehow believed more in teachings of Lord Krishna than preaching […]
It was 1:45 AM in the morning, third of August 1993 and I was in deep sleep. All of a sudden I felt gasping for breath. Something within telling me to get up and go to the terrace on the top floor! When I reached the top I was instructed to come back with the lightweight chair I used for […]
Fear of death was the biggest fear experience by mankind. We could forever become free from all types of fear by travelling path of pure spirituality that directly led to God Almighty. The reason behind was self-explanatory. As we were primarily a spiritual being… a soul atman, the consciousness within manifesting human form, the fear by physical manifest form resulted […]
There was never a time for meditation. One could indulge in meditation any given moment of time. Meditation was not a defined path. All my life, I indulged in meditation via path of contemplation, self enquiry, logical reasoning. To know God, to realize God our reaching hidden underlying precepts of spirituality contained in sacred texts of different religions of world […]
Right from six years of age I was very eager to know everything relating to God. Whatever people said or did I always indulged in self enquiry, logical reasoning to reach the hidden inner meaning. All the three words… contemplation, self enquiry, logical reasoning on a broader scale meant the same. Because scriptures say so, I never accepted anything on […]
A blunt no! Enlightenment is never gained that way. If we look at history of all who gained enlightenment in the entire history of mankind, one thing became extremely clear… all worked for welfare of mankind. None was after enlightenment for individual self. To work for welfare of mankind all the time, to reach hidden spiritual truths of life man […]
To travel path of spirituality, to reach stage of enlightenment and finally salvation moksha, indulgence in Vedas (Hinduism revelations) was not necessitated. When path of jnana (wisdom) had not yet evolved, people indulged in various rituals including yagnas to appease gods. Such a practice was not necessitated now. In yesteryears people were not aware of the path to reach […]
In present times only spirituality relates to enlightenment not religion, path of rituals. Enlightenment is the stage when we as a soul atman gained absolute purity forever. This is the stage when our karma negates to zero forever. In absence of dross impurities within, the need for a soul atman to manifest another body now ceased to exist. The purified […]
To experience the biggest pleasure of life one must travel spiritual path that directly led to God Almighty. That way we liberated self from cycle of birth and death forever. Reaching stage of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed was not easy, neither impossible. By practicing celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) we experienced bouts of ecstasy that could never […]
You are mixing religion with spirituality, Hindu mythology with spirituality. Bhagavad Gita is purely a spiritual document, something following which human beings gained enlightenment in their lifetime. It is an absolute misnomer that destiny of mankind lay in hands of God. It has been explicitly detailed in scriptures of Hinduism that human beings were absolute masters and controllers of […]
The awakening is always precipitated by the individual self. The path of spirituality is always travelled all alone. Though God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations in human form, it was purely unto us when to start journey of spirituality. Most human beings on mother earth postponed it for next life, never wanting to realize that we […]
Human race, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle has played havoc with nature. On one hand is only through human form our soul atman, the spirit within regained its lost original pure prime pristine primordial form forever when human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) in their lifetime. On the other hand we are playing dirty with nature. […]
The lesser we discuss about Kalki, the better. Something which was inevitable, bound to happen… what use discussing about it? As per scriptures of Hinduism coming of an avatar… messiah, saviour was necessitated when the rolling ball goes totally flat. In such circumstances it was not within capability of man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet […]
